Apologies as I am a little late posting this post as for some reason I forgot to share from Instagram 🤪 … better late than never 🫣🤭 …
As I reflect on 2025 it has NOT been one that I would have willingly signed up for 🫣… so as The Year of the Snake 🐍 soon comes to close and The Year of the Horse then begins, for me it has indeed felt like a year of games; one of playing Snakes and Ladders … kinda sliding down into the big black hole 🕳️ and then really struggling to climb back out again 🫣 … I know a lot of us have felt this way in 2025 too and I just want to say how much I have valued your friendship and support through the good and the bad times this year … both online within these little squares and via private messages 🥰🤗🥰
My yoga practice has suffered dramatically as my healing from surgery and treatment this time around has been painfully slow, and is still nowhere complete yet … this really shows in slide 2 so please be kind lol 😂 🤫🫣… but as they say you should never view the whole staircase but just take one step at a time … and today I not only climbed back on my little Oscar ponio and actually cried happy tears as I rode, but I also listened to my body as I got back onto my beloved yoga mat, and yes I was surprised at how my flexibility failed me, my strength was sadly lacking and I am quite a few pounds heavier than before surgery and all the enforced rest … but this in now my new starting point again ❤️ and that’s just life sometimes… and I am just truly grateful to be able to do all of this today too ☺️
So, I wish you health happiness and healing and hope this new year brings you wellness in every way … that your body may stay strong n flexy, your mind calm and that your heart can be at peace ❤️
So as we move forward with the year of the horse this year … let’s approach it strong and proud of all our achievements… let’s dream big and set all those intentions with the moon in January 🌝… and as you wish upon a star I hope that all your dreams come truly do come true 💫
Hugs 🤗
Happy New Year 🥳🥳🥳

Sorry for the essay 🤪

Saying you’re not flexible enough for yoga 🧘‍♀️ is like saying you’re too dirty to take a bath 🛁 🤭

I saw this quote today and it just made me smile out loud as it’s so true 😃

You really don’t always need a plan … sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens … and that’s exactly why I love my yoga practice so much ❤️

Aaaaaand so with that in mind I need to start working on my oversplits now 🫣🤣

Happy Sunday

Mixing the old with the new and absolutely over the moon with the new look of my Yoga Room 🥰

I had wanted a total change, and so both the mirrors and the colour were a brave choice for me … but I’m absolutely in love with this Farrow & Ball paint in Sulking Room Pink (loving that name too) 😊 … and huuuuge thanks to Steve & Leigh Robinson (our fabulous friendly local decorators Robinsons Decorators) for putting the colour on and making the room come to life … it’s truly got all the wonder and amazement of a Fairy Tale … even though I’m no ballerina - yet 🩰 🤣😂
Anyways, really excited to get back to my yoga n flexy training slowly now … hopefully the strength work will only be another couple of months before I’m given the all clear to do more again as I really miss it 🤪 … meanwhile legs legs legs 🦵 forgot to post that pic (don’t know how to add now) but it’s on my story today 🤣🤣🤣

Question 🙋‍♀️
While I get back to my more normal practice over the next few months I am thinking of also mixing my horsey stuff in with some yoga … does that sound a good idea or should I just do a separate page 🤷‍♀️ 🤭🤭🤭

One last thing … I may well begin some yummy Gentle Yoga & Meditation Classes again when the clocks change ☺️

Dear Body - my oldest friend and steadiest companion … I Love You 🥰
So, just a quickie post because today I am four months post mastectomy/reconstruction surgery and also finished my 15 radiotherapy sessions last week 🥳 … so I have just had my first proper hour long stretch sesh in that time ☺️ it felt amaaaazing but those hammies are definitely going to be talking to me tomoro 🙈
Forward folding has not been possible because of the pressure on the chest wall and I still have to be careful with it, but sadly looks like it will probs be another couple of months before I can get back to any strength work, as just three 10 second forearm planks were still a definite no no and I knew it 🫣 … guess they were right and I need to grow up and listen 🙈 … but that’s ok I’m really in no hurry and so guess what … meanwhile I am going to get back to my old Cher Step Workouts, very much needed as I have put half a stone on since surgery 🙈😂, and they’re still so good 🤪 can anyone remember doing them - I still love them as much as I did back then 🎵 🎶 … even replaced them on dvd from video (showing my age) but they’re on YouTube now too 👌
In other news …

It seems the uk is having a heatwave … It’s over 32 degrees in this room right now 🥵
I am having my Yoga Room decorated- yaaaaay 🥳 … a complete makeover complete with more mirrors 🪞 to mark the end of this breast cancer surgery and treatment 🙌… so this will be my last post with grey walls 😱 and my next post may well reveal the new look 👀 🤪😂😂😂
Thank you so much once again to my gorgeous daughter Natasha for continuing to help out with the pony boys … Socks is now a rather sexy looking 2 year old young horse of Gamblethorpe Hanoverians … and Oscar is more thanhappy to have somebody else take him out for adventures sometimes 😃
Happy weekending all🤗

I am the keeper of my mind and of my body, wherever love is present fear is a stranger, and love is here in me 💖
(Taken from a beautiful guided meditation called Tuning into Your Body by )

Thank you so much to so so many people who have now reached out to me and asked if I’m ok 🤗 … my close friends and family obviously know what’s going on, and I thought long and hard whether to post .. but here goes 😅

So, unfortunately after 12 years my breast cancer has returned, resulting in a full mastectomy three weeks ago with immediate reconstruction (because I’m vain 😅) and now I’m just awaiting further results from America, as this time it has reached the lymph nodes, to see whether chemo will be suggested 🫣

This post is NOT for sympathy or such like, but just a quickie to say that sometimes life happens and we just need to take time to step away to heal ❤️‍🩹 … and a reminder that the time to be motivated by guilt, resentment, perfectionism or competitiveness is now over … now is the time to do things out of love, celebration and the joy of self expression 🥰

I miss my horses so much right now (who I am still not allowed near for at least another 3 weeks!) and am so thankful for the support and strength of my loved ones, family and friends for looking after them so well while I can’t right now… especially as Socks had what should have been a minor procedure back in January that went extremely wrong 😢 and has spent a lot of the past three months in veterinary hospital … he came home the week before my surgery - so has obviously needed so much additional care.
I also miss my yoga and exercise lots as it’s always been my relaxation too … but I know I shall soon be back to both running around with the horses and my stretchercise again 💪 ☺️

2. Socks having a cuddle with my daughter at the weekend 💕

If you’ve read this far … thank you ☺️

Big love to everyone… catch up soon 🤗

As we say farewell to 2024 and embrace the new year let’s just take a moment to slow down and reflect on the joy, challenges and lessons we have experienced this year, remembering the importance of love for ourselves and others, compassion, friendship and gratitude ❤️

So… as we step into 2025 let’s leave behind any doubts n fears we may have (I know I have plenty 🫣🤪), and believe we have the confidence in our our own unique ability to absolutely kick ass and achieve whatever our little hearts desire ❤️ 🥹

For me this is lots of fun with the horses 🐴🦄 and getting back to some proper training; to work on all things splitsy, backbendy and of course a consistent upside downs practice to learn how to find some proper balance on my hands, after a rather strange year in general health wise, along with some good ole power yoga flows because they just feel so damned guuuuuuud … obvs 🙄 🧘‍♀️ 🤸‍♀️ 🥰

Pic : from my New Years Eve Practice as the light was fading today … I haven’t really practiced backbending in a long long long looooong while so the struggle was real trying to drop those hips low low low 😅… but I’d love to work towards a pretty little alien wheel pose in the new year too … so back to drills drills drills 😊

Happy New Year everyone … May it be filled with love, health and happiness ❤️🙏🥳🥳 🤗

Happy First Day of Autumn 🍂
Today is also the Equinox when both night n day are of approx equal length, for most of us.

I actually love love luuuuuurve the Autumn as I’m one of those freaks of nature who is not a huge fan of the summer heat 🥵 🤣🤣🤣 … Strangely I just love to watch the leaves on the trees turn from green to the rich n vibrant autumn colours of red, yellow and orange, until they eventually fall off as the seasons change, the daylight hours shorten and they naturally slow down and prepare for the colder season ahead.
Alongside this all the little woodland creatures are also busy storing up and slowing down for the winter too 🦔 🐿️, while the horses are busy changing their sleek summer coats and starting to get just a little fluffy for the colder weather ahead too 🥹 (note to self … must send the horse clipper blades off for sharpening this week too lol 😂)

Anyways, I’ve been missing for a little while so just a little update …
Main pic : Cody 🐴 bless him has now been sold to the most wonderful forever home 🥹 … bye bye Codles and happy new adventures my beautiful boy 🥰

Baby Socks has somehow grown from a baby foal into a fine young yearling ❤️ 🥹 ➡️

Oscar is well … what can I say just Oscar 🤣🤣🥰 ➡️

I am still maintaining my yoga practice, but if you know me then you know already of course 🙄, but I have had a few heath issues this past year and am currently contemplating some possible surgery once I have all my options available next month… I am really trying to do everything I possibly can to avoid this… I mean natural is always the way forward right 🤷‍♀️
Meanwhile I am doing what feels right for me right now … and hope to be posting again soon … maybe with an arm balance challenge in a few months as it’s always the fun element of those that bring me back to my mat ha ha 🤣
That’s about it really 🤔 if you’ve read this far then you’ve done well and been a star 🌟 🤣🤣🤣🫣 … so thanku 🤪🫣🤗
So here’s wishing you all a colourful and cosy Autumn, whether you’re a summer or winter person 🙂🙃🙂

Hugs as always 🤗

Ooooooops I did it again 🖤🫣🤭🤭🤭

Meet Socks (well it just had to be his pet name lol 😂) … as he is shiny black with four white socks.

Can’t believe that I haven't officially introduced this handsome little fella here yet 🥰

So … here he is, a now ten month old Hannovarian c**t foal, purchased in November 2023, but due to me then not being very well myself for a while he didn’t come home until mid January … and is now nicely settled, perfectly mischievous 😏 soooooo cute and mega cuddly n friendly.

Gotta say I’m right excited for the future with this one 🖤 ❤️ 🖤 … that’s if my daughter Nails by Tasha Tasha Bocock doesn’t totally steal him ha ha 🤣

You’ll no doubtedly be seeing a lot more of us here as he grows, and I’m sure he’ll be joining me in some baby pony yoga before I know it too 🤪

Thank you so so much to Denise Mitchell and her husband of Gamblethorpe Hannovarians for entrusting me with this rather special boy 🖤

Wishing you all a fab weekend - the very last one of the year.

Happy New Year beautiful people … may you be showered with kindness in the most unexpected of places 🤗

I’d just like to share two lovely quotes with you as we shortly see the New Year in …

The first one is from Roy T Bennett …

“Never stop dreaming, never stop believing, never give up, never stop trying, and never stop learning”

And then to quote my favourite Winnie the Pooh character Eeyore, always remember that …

“A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference”

Here’s to a healthy and happy 2024 🥳🥳🥳

The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down ☀️ 🌙

… But due to a few things going on at the moment I’m taking a break from social media, and my Bassingham Yoga Room website has been taken offline since 16 July.

Life is all about change, looking after ourselves and movement right … and I hope to be back in a few months 😃

They say you often feel tired not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what lights you up… so always remember to do something that makes your heart happy every single day, whatever that might be … for me it’s most definitely yoga, horses and some upside downs 🧘‍♀️ 🐴 🦄 🤸‍♀️

Thankyou to everyone who has supported me all this time … I’m so thankful to each and every one of you while I take some time out for myself.

Catch up soon

Hugs 🤗
