8 years ago today, I had my dream wedding in Santorini. Not long after, I realised that the life I’d built for myself didn’t feel aligned. I wanted to feel happy. I wanted to feel free. And I didn’t.

So I built a new life.
I got divorced.
Left my corporate job.
Went vegan.
Started my own business.
Made my own work schedule.
Lived in Costa Rica for over a year.
Completed over 1,000 hours of yoga training as a student.
Taught over 3,000 hours of yoga teacher trainings.
Fell in love again.
Bought a house.
Got a dog.
Had a baby.

Was it easy? Absolutely not. I had my fair share of anxiety, panic attacks, tears, moments where I thought I’d lost the plot and questioned absolutely everything. But I kept going. I kept coming back to what felt true.

I’ve learnt that there’s no timeline you need to follow. No one path you have to walk. It’s ok if your life looks different to others. It’s ok to start again. To choose you.

I’m sharing this because I want you to know:
You’re allowed to change your life.
You’re allowed to want more.
You’re allowed to outgrow a version of yourself that no longer fits.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be brave enough to take the first step.

Here’s to building a life that feels like freedom. That feels like you.

May you be happy and free✨

🧘🏼‍♀️MARCH 2026 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING🧘🏼‍♀️

Looking to leave the daily grind? Dreaming of doing what you love for a living? Want a flexible job that can work around your children? Setting up your own yoga business holds the key to the freedom you desire.

What makes this training different? Unlike courses in London where there can be 30+ students and 5+ different yoga trainers switching throughout the course, this training is run solely by me in an intimate setting with 10 students.

The personal learning space enables me to provide each student with frequent 1:2:1 feedback which is designed to empower my students, encourage them to grow in confidence and thrive in ways that they never imagined.

You do not need to be able to do ‘advanced’ yoga poses to be a powerful yoga teacher. If you are passionate about the positive impact yoga has had on your life then this training will guide you to inspire teaching from a place of true connection and support you to find your voice to share with others.

This training will change your life:

Almost 2 months of loving our little miracle Robyn Rose🩷

We are slowly re-emerging from our baby bubble although part of me just wants to freeze time✨

I dreamed of being a mum for so long and now that she’s here, I am cherishing every single moment. Every day I look at her in disbelief - she’s really here and I am really a mummy😭

This time last year, we were just beginning an IVF cycle. IVF was never something I wanted, but I wanted to be a mum more than anything. I was filled with so much fear and uncertainty, but also the hope that it might actually work…. and it did😁

Thanks to IVF, I grew a healthy little bubba despite 9 months of relentless sickness that magically disappeared the moment Robyn was born😱 It feels so good to be able to eat again - I will never take food (or brushing my teeth!) for granted again🙈

I will also never take my body for granted again. I am still healing from a traumatic birth and have no choice but to be patient with myself and my recovery. Every little bit of progress feels like a win☺️

For now, we are soaking up every cuddle and every precious moment with our baby girl🥰

06/04/2025

See you on the other side🤰🏼✌🏼

Our official due date is 10th May but I’ve always thought baby girl will be here early so let’s see 👀

I’m deleting social media off my phone so that I can be fully present for the final few weeks of pregnancy and to enjoy our baby bubble once she arrives. I just want to soak it all in✨

I have hyperemesis gravidarum (ongoing sickness), pregnancy anemia and polyhydramnios (increased amniotic fluid) so I have no doubts these last few weeks will be a challenge but I am so ready for it💪🏼

We are so close to meeting our little miracle baby and I just can’t wait to hold her in my arms🥰🩷

For me, these photos represent the most challenging time of my life, so far! The truth is, for some of us, pregnancy is a battle.

I share my reality because I know I’m not the only pregnant person who has struggled. In society, there is still an unspoken pressure to pretend it’s easy, to smile through the suffering, to never admit that something you so deeply wanted can also challenge you in ways you never expected.

I’ve been living in 2 parallel realities of being so incredibly grateful to be pregnant after our IVF journey but struggling so much to get through each day. Some days I’ve wondered how I’ve got any more strength to carry on but somehow I dig deeper to fight another day.

I look at these photos and see someone who has surrendered so much. At 12 weeks, I stepped away from my yoga communities I worked so hard to build because I had no capacity to give to others. I choose to stop work completely at 27 weeks even though I’m self-employed and don’t get paid if I don’t work because my health is more important than money ever will be. I’ve spent most of my pregnancy at home, battling relentless sickness that is still going strong at 33 weeks.

This journey, both to pregnancy and through pregnancy, looks nothing like what I had once hoped for. My reality is far from the glowing experience I dreamed of, but I’ve learned to let go and embrace what is, rather than my vision of what I thought it should be.

Through it all, I’ve had to listen to my body in a way I never have before. I’ve had to lean on others, accept help and surrender to the fact that rest isn’t just an option - it’s a necessity.

There’s still so much stigma around sharing the truth of pregnancy. The more we share the truth, the less anyone has to suffer in silence. If more people spoke openly and honestly then fewer people would feel alone in their struggles🙏🏼

My mum and sister-in-laws hosted the most beautiful Mother’s Blessing for me yesterday🥰

For so long, becoming a mum felt like an impossible dream for me. After everything it took to get here, gathering with the women I feel so loved and supported by to celebrate my transition in to motherhood felt so surreal😭

So grateful to have sister-in-laws who love and cherish me like their own. They’ve been in my life for more years than they haven’t now, and I can’t imagine my life without them🩷

At the heart of it all is my mum - the most amazing woman I know. If I can be even half the mum she has been to me, I will be forever grateful. She is the best role model in every way and I feel very lucky to have her guiding me on this journey🙏🏼

My dream is almost a reality and my heart feels so full❤️‍🔥

When I left my marriage, I had to tell myself a massive lie: that if I never had children, I would be okay with that. I was already in my 30s, and if I didn’t convince myself of this then the fear of never meeting someone else might have kept me stuck - staying in an unhappy marriage and having kids with the wrong person. That lie was the protection I needed in order to free myself from the life I’d created 🤯

Within a few months, I left everything - my job, my marriage and my home. From the outside, it looked like my life was falling apart but deep inside, I knew I was on the right path 👀

I went to live in Costa Rica with Dan and I was almost a year in when something profound happened. During a sweat lodge ceremony, as I meditated in the heat and darkness, I saw my daughter. I didn’t tell a soul, but the next morning, a woman in my 300hr YTT called me Mumma Bear. I will never forget that moment. It was as if my heart remembered what my mind had buried - I longed to be a mum🩷

That vision of my daughter changed everything. Up until then, I had no plans to leave Costa Rica - I was even applying for a visa! But something inside me shifted. I knew I had to move back to the UK with Dan and build the foundations for our family🏡

We bought a house in a family friendly area within walking distance of schools. I naively thought it wouldn’t be long until we added our chosen number of kids to our home. We had no idea of the journey we were about to go on. 4 years later and with the help of IVF, our dream is almost a reality🤰🏼

I share this because I know what it’s like to feel lost and to question if the life you dream of will ever be yours. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: trust your path, even when it doesn’t make sense✨

Imagine being able to completely switch off, relax deeply, and feel fully restored - whenever you need it. That’s the magic of Yoga Nidra, and I’m so excited to share a brand-new session with you on my subscription channel:

https://yintotheyangyoga.teachable.com/p/yoga_with_justine

Yoga Nidra, also known as “yogic sleep,” is a powerful practice that guides you into a state of deep rest while your mind remains gently aware. It’s like pressing the reset button for your body and mind, leaving you feeling calm, clear and recharged.

This new session starts with intention setting, followed by guided breath awareness, a soothing body scan, exploration of sensations, and rapid image visualisation. We’ll finish with journaling prompts to help you reflect and connect even more deeply. It’s perfect to do before bed or anytime you want to unwind.

Why my students love it:
“It’s like having you in my home, guiding me to relax. Your voice helps me to switch off instantly.”

And that’s exactly what this subscription offers - it is like practicing with me in the comfort of your own space, whenever it suits you.

What you get:

✨On-demand access 24/7: your personal yoga and meditation space, always ready.
✨Over 50 practices including yoga flows, meditations, breathwork, and now Yoga Nidra.
✨Varied sessions from quick 7-minute resets to immersive 90-minute classes.
