Happy Full Pink Moon.
This morning’s full moon in Libra arrived as the first full moon since the Spring Equinox - a point where things are already shifting, even if they don’t feel fully settled yet.
There’s been a quiet sequence building to this. The Virgo eclipse asked you to clear space. The Pisces new moon softened things, nudged you back towards what matters. And now this Libra full moon brings the question of balance into sharper focus - not as a concept, but as something you feel in your body, your energy, your relationships.
Libra is about harmony, but not the kind that keeps the peace at your own expense. It’s about noticing where things feel off. Where you’re overgiving, overthinking, overextending. And gently adjusting, rather than forcing change.
Full moons have a way of illuminating what’s been sitting just under the surface. Emotions, patterns, habits - all a bit clearer now. Not to overwhelm you, but to give you something honest to work with.
In yoga, this is the practice. Not chasing a perfect state, but learning how to come back into balance again and again. Through your breath, your awareness, the way you meet each moment.
There’s also something quietly creative about this moon. Libra is linked to beauty, expression, the way you shape your experience. So alongside the clearing, there’s space here to begin again. To plant something new, even if it’s just a small shift in how you move through your day.
If you can, step outside at some point. Let yourself notice the season changing around you. The light, the air, the sense of things moving forward and if your mind feels busy or pulled in different directions, keep it simple. Come back to your breath. Come back to what feels steady enough, just for now.
That’s usually where the balance starts to return ❤️

End of another Wilstead yoga block tonight, and we finished with a theme of endurance. Not pushing through for the sake of it, but learning how to stay when things feel challenging. Using breath to steady you, focus to guide you, and your form to support you so you’re not just surviving the hold, you’re working intelligently within it.
We began with a strap practice, creating space with control and awareness, gently building flexibility without forcing it. That same approach carried through the rest of the class, steady, supported, and intentional.
There’s something in that which reaches beyond the mat. Life doesn’t always soften on cue, and these moments in practice give you a way of meeting that with a bit more steadiness and clarity.
And then of course… cake. Always there to mark the end of the block, made with as much attention as the practice itself. Thank you to the always wonderful yogis who come to these classes - such a lovely group to teach❤️❤️❤️
So looking forward to seeing you again on 13/4 ###

Friday evening felt like a true turning point. That sky on the way in said it all, the light shifting, something softening, something beginning again.
We gathered, moved, breathed, settled… and that mandala space held it all so beautifully. And yes, for anyone who noticed, there was a little highland coo tucked in there of course😃🥰
Thank you to every one of you who came along and shared the evening. Your presence, your openness, your warmth, friendliness and your energy… it’s what makes these events what they are❤️
And then, as always, we finished the best way. Homemade cake and chat. The carrot cake made an appearance, slightly rustic buttercream carrots and all, clearly still a work in progress but made with love.
And the next day… sunshine, fresh air, and those quiet signs of spring starting to show themselves everywhere. New growth, colour returning, light stretching a little further into the day.
It all feels very in tune with the season we’re stepping into. A gentle reminder that things don’t arrive all at once, they unfold, bit by bit, just like this.

Shanta classes at the start of the week, that sense of calm, peace and quiet ease, and tonight settling into samatvam – that even, grounded place within that doesn’t get pulled so easily by the highs or the lows.
Samatvam is often translated as equanimity. Not switching off or becoming indifferent, but staying present with what’s here without being carried away by it. In practice it’s those small moments where you notice your breath support you, where you pause instead of react, where you stay with something without needing to change it.
These flowers have been arriving in different moments across the week, from family and friends, each one given with its own quiet thoughtfulness. Different colours, different shapes, all finding their place together.
There’s something in that which feels very close to samatvam. Life doesn’t come in one tone, it comes in many. Some bright, some soft, some unexpected. And the practice is learning to receive it all with a little more space, to appreciate the beauty of what’s here without needing to hold on too tightly.
Grateful for the practice, for the people in the room and for the kindness that keeps showing up in so many beautiful ways.

The yoga mat isn’t the only place attention shows up.
Over the last month there’s also been flour on the worktop, chocolate melting in the microwave and trays of bakes lining the kitchen. Cookies, brownies, blondies, cake and a few slightly over-the-top creations along the way( including gluten free/vegan)😃
There’s something surprisingly similar between baking and practice. Both ask for patience, presence and care in the small things. Temperature matters. Timing matters. The order you add things matters. Rush it and you notice.
Yoga calls this tapas – the steady, warming discipline of showing up and tending to what you’re doing. Not dramatic effort, just consistent care. The same way cake mix slowly becomes something beautiful in the oven.
Most of these eventually find their way into the homes of friends and family, day job meetings as well as yoga classes and events. Because sharing food, like sharing practice, has always been part of the community that grows around yoga.
Movement, breath, conversation… and usually homemade cake somewhere in the mix🥰

The Spring Equinox marks that brief moment in the year when day and night are equal, a quiet turning point before the light begins to grow stronger.
Join me on Friday 20 March at Biddenham Village Hall for a gentle evening of yoga, meditation and a calming sound bath, finishing as always with homemade cake and chat.
A lovely way to pause, reset and welcome the energy of the new season. Still a few spaces left xx

As winter begins to loosen its grip and the first signs of spring appear, this Spring Equinox celebration offers a steadying pause in the turning of the season. Rather than rushing forward or looking back, this evening creates space to simply arrive, to feel the balance point between darkness and returning light.
The asana practice will focus on grounding shapes and gentle, spacious movement, helping your body soften into warmth while maintaining a sense of steadiness. We will move with clarity rather than effort, using breath-led transitions that echo the quiet shift of the equinox itself. This practice is about meeting yourself where you are and allowing natural openness to emerge in its own timing.
Meditation will draw on the subtle return of light, not as something to strive for, but as a soft clarity that unfolds when the body settles and the breath becomes steady. It is an invitation to experience balance from the inside out, held within a calm and supportive space.
After meditation, the sound bath offers a deeply immersive full body listening experience that uses intentional sound to soothe the nervous system and encourage deep rest. All you need to do is lie back, get comfortable and allow the resonance to settle through you.(Please read the sound bath contraindications before finalising your booking.)
We will finish, as always, with homemade cake, a warm drink and relaxed chat, a simple and comforting close to a gentle evening of practice.❤️

Tonight’s sky felt very much in conversation with practice. Walking in after class the full moon was sitting high behind a veil of cloud, bright and steady, the light spreading across the whole sky. The Virgo full moon with its lunar eclipse energy carrying that quiet sense of refinement and attention.
In yoga philosophy this moment mirrors two parts of Kriya Yoga from the Yoga Sutras. Tapas – the steady inner fire that helps us refine and transform. Svadhyaya – self study, the willingness to observe ourselves honestly and learn from what we see.
An eclipse often heightens awareness of what’s ready to shift. Virgo brings it down to earth. It isn’t about grand gestures, it’s about noticing the small patterns, the habits, the ways we move, think and respond. Then gently adjusting what no longer serves ❤️
That’s exactly what practice can become. Not chasing perfect poses but refining attention, clearing a little inner clutter and reconnecting with your own quiet wisdom.
Judging by tonight’s moon, the universe seemed to be practising a little Svadhyaya of its own ❤️❤️

Happy Full Worm Moon in Virgo with Lunar Eclipse. Are you sitting comfortably 😃
Today the moon teaches its peak at 11:38am GMT. Even though the exact moment happens in daylight, its influence carries through the night before and after and the seasonal shift it marks is already underway.
The Worm Moon takes its name from the softening earth, when worms begin to reappear and the ground slowly loosens after winter. Not dramatic, not in full bloom, just quiet preparation. March often feels exactly like that – a subtle turning. You want sunshine and open windows, yet the air still holds a chill. The light is stretching, but spring isn’t fully here.
This year the March moon falls in Virgo, bringing a steady, practical tone. Virgo energy is about tending rather than rushing, clearing what feels cluttered, adjusting routines and paying attention to the small details that quietly support growth. It’s less about bold declarations and more about preparing the soil of your life.
There’s also a total lunar eclipse woven into this moon, which deepens the pause.
This event causes the Moon to appear as a “Blood Moon” because a total lunar eclipse is occurring simultaneously, causing Earth’s shadow to turn the moon a rusty red-orange colour. It looks red as our atmosphere filters and projects sunlight onto it. Visibility of this is best in North/Central America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.
Eclipses can illuminate what’s out of alignment and gently nudge us back towards what feels honest and sustainable. In yogic terms, it feels like tapas – steady inner discipline, a contained flame that refines rather than burns out.
You don’t need to witness it at the exact minute. The moon will appear full across several nights. Even if cloud cover hides it, the light is lengthening all the same. The season is shifting. Something is stirring.
This Full Moon is not asking for a leap forward. It is inviting readiness.

Wyboston was absolutely on fire this morning. After what feels like weeks of rain, arriving to actual sunshine spilling across the car park felt like a gift in itself. That bright, clear sky before Combat, Pump and then week 2 of our Vinyasa ladder flow just lifted everything. The energy in that room was something else. Strong, focused, willing and completely up for the build. In yoga, I love watching you trust the layering of a ladder flow, not rushing to the top but earning it breath by breath.
Yesterday’s dance meditation in yoga was a completely different kind of fire. Less structured, more free. Movement without overthinking, rhythm without self judgement. The feedback was just gorgeous so I think a Friday morning Wyboston dance meditation might need to become a monthly regular. There’s something powerful about giving yourself permission to dance like no one’s watching 😃💃🕺❤️
And then, in the middle of all that, the most thoughtful gift. A beautiful card of Crail Harbour, somewhere I used to visit growing up, not far from Dundee. It caught me off guard in the loveliest way. To be known like that is special. And then Loch Ness, Nessie and a very important cooooooooo magnet of course. It made me beam with gratitude and happiness ❤️❤️###
Strength, light, freedom, memory, connection. This community brings all of it. So very grateful.

I like this image because it gently reflects something we explore in practice, but it also needs handling with care.
For some people life can genuinely feel overwhelming, frightening or unbearably heavy. And that’s not something to bypass with a neat spiritual sentence or a pretty metaphor. Real struggle is real struggle.
What yoga offers is not a dismissal of that and not a suggestion that everything is simple if you “just see it differently”. It offers companionship. A steadying. A reminder that even when your mind feels loud or your emotions feel unmanageable, there is still something within you that’s breathing, noticing, enduring.
The idea that you’re not separate from the universe is not meant to minimise pain. It’s meant to soften isolation.
Not “this is happening because of you.”
Not “you created this.”
But “you’re not alone inside this.”
Sometimes the practice is strong and expansive.
Sometimes it’s simply sitting, breathing, and getting through the day.
Both are valid.
If this image speaks to you, let it be a reminder of connection, not pressure. Of shared existence, not spiritual perfection❤️

Sunset last night just before class – the sky quietly on fire above the rooftops, that soft wash of coral and ember that makes everything pause for a moment. There’s something about teaching under a sky like that. It feels like the day is exhaling as we begin.
And earlier, on the way to the opticians, pots of daffodils gathered outside a little shop – bright, unapologetic yellow, pushing up through the chill like they’ve already decided spring is coming whether we’re ready or not.
Nature is so good at this - cycles, contrast, light fading, light returning. Heat in the sky, freshness in the soil. We don’t have to force the shift as it’s already underway.
A gentle reminder that even when things look still, something is moving ❤️
