Your nervous system is calling. Will you listen? 🌿

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to pause, decompress, and step out of “performance” mode, this is it.

I’m so excited to welcome you to the sacred grounds of Samye Ling this April. Swipe through to meet your host, see what we have planned for our restorative weekend, and learn why this monastery is so close to my heart.

We are keeping this group intimate to ensure everyone feels seen, safe, and supported - which means spaces are genuinely limited and filling up.

The details: 🗓️ 17th – 19th April 2026
📍 Samye Ling Monastery, Eskdalemuir, Scotland
✨ Secure your sanctuary with a £40 deposit.

Once the remaining spots are filled, the booking form will close. Click the link in bio to join us 🪷

Ever felt like you needed a space where your mental health was prioritised as much as your physical movement? 🌿🪹
Welcome to The Samadhi Nest. Named after the Sanskrit word for “calm joy,” this is a space designed for you to go inwards and find the same safety an animal finds in its nest.
I founded this business because I believe yoga is one of the most powerful tools we have for mental resilience. My background in Psychology and social care taught me that the mind and body aren’t separate - so why should our healing be?
When we practice mindfully, we don’t just “do” poses.
We: ✨ Regulate the nervous system. ✨ Soothe stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. ✨ Create a safe harbour for the body to reset.

I am so excited to continue expanding our sanctuary this year. I’ll be announcing new classes for the Global Majority, as well as immersive retreats, workshops, and 1:1 sessions.
I am also passionate about bringing these tools into the wider community. I am currently open to:

Social Care & Mental Health Settings: Facilitating specialised sessions for residents and staff;
Corporate Wellness: Bringing nervous system regulation and resilience to the workplace;
Collaborations: I am looking to connect with other holistic professionals to create impactful, inclusive experiences.

Whether you are navigating burnout or simply looking for a more conscious way to move, there is a spot on the mat waiting for you.
🎁 Join the community: Sign up for my mailing list via the link in bio to stay updated on our 2026 dates - and I’ll send you a 20% discount code for our cosy PJ Yoga classes as a thank you.
Let’s find your calm joy, together. 🕉️

As the year gently comes to a close,
there’s no rush to begin again just yet.
These last days of 2025 aren’t asking for resolutions —
they’re asking for exhalation, reflection, and rest.
And perhaps… for planting a seed 🌱

🌞Long post, but important one🌙

This past year has been such a beautiful journey. Holding yoga classes and a full course for the Global Majority in collaboration with .shack has meant more to me than I can put into words.

To everyone who showed up, whether for one class or the whole journey, thank you. Thank you for trusting me, moving with me, sharing space, resting deeply, and showing up for yourselves. Every session reminded me why I do this work.
Creating and protecting wellness spaces for the Global Majority is essential. So many of us move through systems and environments that weren’t built with us in mind. Having a place where we can breathe, heal, learn, reconnect with our bodies, and be fully seen is not just important. It’s transformative. These classes are more than yoga; they’re community, affirmation, and reclamation.
To Sister Shack, thank you for believing in me, in my purpose, and in the vision of making wellness accessible, grounding, and culturally affirming. Your support has been everything 🤎
And thank you, for letting us such a warm, cosy and welcoming space.

Hearing your reflections and feedback throughout the year has filled me with so much joy and affirmation. Here are a few words from the community:

“I really appreciated the structure of the course. Carina was culturally appreciative of yoga and has a good knowledge of the spirituality…Having a teacher who is also global majority and who is mindful of disabilities and the ways that different bodies can / can’t move really supported my participation and feeling encouraged to attend and try my best at my own pace.”

“The knowledge of the course is in depth and actually shares life changing ethos. Yoga is so much more than movement.”

“These courses nurture spirituality, mind-body connection, and encourage people to have greater wellbeing in a safer space. Global majority communities can hold a lot of trauma individually and collectively so having courses like these are vital for healing.”
