Yoga with Mary, Haslemere (2026)

31/12/2025

2025
A year filled with so many magic moments
A year that pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow in so many ways
A year filled with adventures
Family moments
So much happiness
and quiet moments of loss and sadness

A year of practicing yoga on and off the mat more than any other. A year of welcoming so many of you to my classes and events.

Eternally grateful for all this year bought me, the happy moments and the challenging moments, they all came for a reason and have taught me so much.

2026
Be kind
Gentle
Be adventurous
Be simple
Be exciting
And be everything else in between 🤍

Wishing you all a gentle year ahead filled with love and all the things that make you happy.

Winter Solstice ✨

A week and weekend filled with moments of

listening
softening
recalibrating

and asking for a little help along the way 🤍

Life’s been a little upside down
a little topsy turvy
with a little too many plates to spin
and I’m grateful for the little (and not-so-little) reminders that have come my way which have reminded me to

slow down
to not get caught up in it
to ask for help
and to enjoy the magic of this sparkly season

As the light begins its quiet return, I to will quietly unfurl🌙 so much to look forward to, so much ahead, but for now, I will focus on here and now.

Christmas.
Family.
Myself.

Special moments:

1) my sanctuary
2) MTB girls
3) adventures
4) home, sweet home 🔨
5)
6) my band crush (and rock)
7) Crumble 🤍
8) quiet moments
9) unforgettable moments
10) grateful moments
11) when everything got a little much
12) Somerset sunsets
13) .art 🤍

Wishing you all a peaceful winter solstice 🤍
I do hope you’re all ok and you’re finding moments to catch up with sleep, to rest, to pause, to prioritise yourself.

This will likely be my final post before Christmas so I wish you a very peaceful Christmas and I hope you enjoy the special day, whatever your Christmas Day looks like this year 🤍 x

In just two weeks it’ll be Boxing Day.

The run-up to Christmas can be a lot for tired children and for parents holding everything together. It’s a time when taking a moment to ground and be present is more important than ever.

I’m trying really hard this year to notice when small trivial things in the run up to Christmas start to ni**le at me - and when they do - I’m having a good old chat to myself to shift my perspective.

I take a step back
I remind myself to be grateful for everything and everyone in my little world
I remind myself how lucky I am to be here

I hope you’re all doing ok in the run up to the end of term. Whatever is going on in your world, give yourself some space to soak it all in.

Go for a walk
Breathe in the fresh air
Look up at the sky
The trees
Notice the twinkling lights all around
Feel the warmth of your bed
Hear the laugh of your loved ones

Take a step back away from it all
Focus on what really matters
And notice 🤍

World Kindness Day 🤍

“Be kind whenever possible.
It is always possible”
~ Dalai Lama

Be kind.
To yourself.
To everyone around you.
Whether they show kindness towards you or not.

The practise of Ahimsa teaches us that even the smallest and most subtle act of softness, compassion and kindness can transform a day - whether that’s your day or someone elses. It’s something that I like to take very seriously in my practice on and off the mat 🤍

“Realise deeply that the present moment is all you ever have” ~ Eckhart Tolle.

I’m currently reading the book “The Power of Now” and this quote stuck with me today.

A reminder that life is constantly unfolding. The past exists only as memory; the future exists only as imagination.

The present moment
This breath
This experience
Right now

is all that’s truly real.

From my own experience, I know that being present isn’t always easy. I used to find myself tangled in the past or reaching toward the future. Now, the present has become such a natural space for me that I sometimes struggle to leave it. Planning ahead used to come so naturally and now my brain much prefers to live in the short term, week by week and often day by day.

When we anchor our awareness in the here and now, we can find peace, clarity, and freedom from anxiety about what’s gone or what’s to come.

And I like to think of the here and now as a really peaceful place to be.

Have you read the book? I’d love to have some more recommendations so do DM me with your favourites 🤍

Gosh - September, you’ve been full to the brim with joy-filled days and simple pleasures, spectacular sunsets and chilly swims,

A little fast paced and chaotic (behind the scenes!) at times.
But sprinkled with so many memorable moments.
The weeks have been filled and fast paced,
the weekends have been unplanned and so much fun.
The great British bake off, naps on the sofa, autumnal walks, dinners with friends and much needed slow and quiet family time.

Grateful for it all 🤍 the slow days, the busy days, the building dust and the chaos.

1 - autumnal adventures
2 - back to routine
3 - uncovering surprises at the start of our renovation

14 - my private life in a picture
15 - school run walks
16 - 41
17 - birthday with my parents
18 - back comes the dry robe

October please be kind, please be slow, please be cosy and filled with more magic.

This is 41 🤍 I’m not quite sure how I ended up being 41 but I’m rather enjoying riding this wave of life and very happy to be here!

Grateful every day for every little thing and excited for the next 41 years of adventures ahead.

A little quieter on here than usual as lots of adventures going on behind the scenes but wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone that has joined me in the new term - I love seeing your faces each week and it means the world to me that you choose to practice with me, come rain and shine, or in the village hall.

Yoga has transformed my life and I feel very lucky to be able to do what I do and share my passion with so many.

Have a wonderful weekend doing the things that you love with the people that you love 🤍 Mary x

Nearly a month without posting — where has the time gone? Honestly, I’m not quite sure but it’s been such a special time being completely present, soaking up the summer and family time.

Endlessly grateful for the ability to be living in the here and now.
Grateful for letting go of the things I can’t control.
Grateful for the ability to embrace the chaos of the holidays.
The meals. The plans. The play dates. The snacks. The laundry and messy house.
Grateful for the special unrushed time spent with family and friends.

What a special time it’s been, what a special time it is.

Slow down August.
Slow Down.

Amidst my days full of family life there’s been so much going on and I’ve loved seeing so many of you join the sessions I’ve organised. There’s lots coming up over the next couple of weeks — take a look at the link in my bio if you’d like to join in.

Yoga sessions and many more for Sept/Oct will be live soon — I promise 🤍

A few moments that have made me smile over the last month:

1 The croissant run
2 Oh France
3 Grandma and Grandpa’s special celebration
4 Holiday yoga
5 Blue skies above
6 Not my house…
7 Morning walks
8 Safari nights
9 My favourite spot
10 Friday night out 🤍
11 Captain
12 Lily heaven
13 Planning mode
14 Incoming builders
15 HIIT views
16 My sister
17 Laughing Crumble
18 Blackberrying
19 Declutter
20 Headspace

And to my husband.

Who’s a quiet follower on Instagram and not hugely into any of this. On our 14th wedding anniversary today. We may not be wining and dining and living the high life this evening but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

At home.
Children.
Sleepovers.
Dogs.
Chaos.

Pure contentment.

What a wild adventure it’s been. So many adventures ahead and I can’t imagine this rollercoaster without you.

Ice creams.
Long light days.
And the early mornings.
The beautiful sunsets.

Grateful for it all 🤍
