Lorna Green Yoga

Lorna Green Yoga I’m Lorna Green and I show people how to live first and worry less in a world that doesn’t make It did not then, nor does it now!

For more than 25 years I’ve been working in the spa and wellness industry with a focus on the practice and teaching of yoga. Like so many teachers, my path to this profession hasn’t been an easy one...

I started going to yoga classes when I was a teenager. I showed up each week (if I could be bothered) focused only on the physical benefits and the nice sleep at the end. It’s fair to say my path

to enlightenment wasn't obvious at that time. Much of that early practice was spent in a permanent state of sweaty frustration. I'd try to convince my body, without success, that it possessed the abilities of an Olympic gymnast. I never reached the state of Nirvana that those around me appeared to have. As we all sat crossed legged, with our palms together, my squirmy body and distracted mind would have me counting the seconds until I could get moving again. Convinced I was not cut out for the yoga life, I gave up. Despite my best efforts to stay away from this yoga malarky, it was always on my radar. Working in the spa industry exposed me to places where yoga and other wellness practices were an everyday occurrence. I continued to dabble and educate myself little by little. Then came the part of my life that changed everything. Illness, bankruptcy, loss of a 16-year relationship and some epic detachment from sanity put me firmly back on the path of yoga. Growth is painful and my challenges were and indeed still are, no different to anyone else’s. I’ve battled self-doubt, self-loathing, blame, anger, guilt and loneliness along the way. The beauty of walking such a path is that amongst the jaggy thorns there’s self- discovery and incredible ‘a-ha’ moments. The moments where you know, deep in your core, that it’s all going to be OK. Yoga practice can seem really intimidating from the outside. It can feel inaccessible to some and too ‘woo woo’ for others. Everyone deserves to feel great in their body and mind, and right here is where that starts. You can work with me in person and online. Stop saying maybe, start saying YES!

REMEMBER | Celebrating my sisters birthday today, we started chatting about favourite or memorable birthday years. The one that came to mind for me was in Chiang Mai - my 37th birthday. 🎂

As well as cake (obvs), I celebrated by throwing myself off a crane, 50 metres in the air, attached to a large elastic band.

Seemed like a swell plan, right up to the moment I wobbled out the lift basket and found myself staring down at the dot of water beneath me, suddenly feeling very attached to life!😱

My brain: “absolutely not”.
My legs: decorative noodles.
Frank, the platform guy: “no worries lady, I can help if you need…”

I mean surely the only thing worse than doing a bungee jump is being helped to do a bungee jump!

So I jumped. I survived. I cried a wee bit and I still have that T-shirt 👏

This year started rough; injury, pain, a few moments of what’s the point of anything?

But then I remember that girl, on the platform. The one who was terrified - the look on my face is very real. 
I’ve survived breakups, business failures, travel disasters… and a bungee jump encouraged by a man called Frank.

What’s the saying, ‘you’ve survived 100% of your worst days’. Sometimes you need to look back to remember who you bloody well are. 💪

LIFE LESSON | I came across these photographs, from 2011 today; the time I landed in Buenos Aires for a few weeks to learn Spanish.😵‍💫

It’s fair to say my language skills were a bust but I did learn a little something about life during my stay.

Through the language school I was placed in a homestay with a local family and a few other students.

A beautiful old building on the outskirts of the city, it had seen better days. Peeling paint in the stairwell, wooden banisters worn smooth by decades of hands, intricate ironwork that caught the light in the afternoon. Maybe the building was a bit run down, but the apartment was full of colour and full of food, laughter, noise and stories.

Our little group came from all over the world, each us with different accents, different lives, different reasons for being there.

Most evenings we sat in the stairwell for hours, legs folded awkwardly, talking nonsense. We had dance parties on our beds, climbed to the roof looking out over the city and up at the sky where we shared our stories, our fears and the hopes of who we might become.

I don’t know where any of those women are now. I don’t know if they remember me or that place but I remember something precious.

It’s the understanding that it’s not always the big, grand moments that stay with you but rather the small ones. The ordinary ones. The ones you don’t realise are important while you’re living them.

Pay attention, and when those small moments show up, stay a little longer instead of rushing through them to the next ‘better’ moment. 🥰

SOLO | on Friday I took myself off to the Burns Night Ceilidh at the National Museum of Scotland.

I went on my own this year as none of my friends could make it. The joy of a ceilidh (and Scottish people really) is that you can arrive alone but you won’t stay that way for long. 🥰

It can be hard to step out on your own but you miss so much when you’re waiting for others. Maybe it’s a bit awkward for a minute, then before you know it you’re laughing with strangers and having the best night!

Make 2026 your f&*k it and find out year! 💪

IMHO | This one might sting a bit. 😳

Since returning to socials after a bloody delightful hiatus, I’m seeing a lot of posts about people getting a bit salty that their friends are not supporting their business ventures. I have thoughts on this and they may not be what you expect…

“Your friend just launched a company. You have the power to change their life.”

I agree 💯 but the caveat; we need to be realistic about how support actually works.

Friends don’t owe you purchases. They don’t owe you validation and they are rarely your long-term client base anyway.

That said small, thoughtful support, especially at the start, can make more impact than anyone realises. A review, share or a recommendation to the right person is more valuable than a pity purchase from someone that was never a good fit in the first place.

If you’re building something right now, share it in the comments. If you’ve been slogging for a while and want to be seen by a different audience drop your business below. There’s room enough for all of us! 🥳

I’m getting the ball rolling with some of my friends doing fun, exciting, ballsy projects in 2026. If you know someone any of these are right for, pass it on. ⬇️

LAUGHTER | Whoever said laughter is the best medicine knew what they were talking about. 🤣

Stay close to the humans who make you grin like a loon and laugh till you wee a little.

Mid-cackle may not be my best look but it’s solid proof that joy counts as a workout. Cheaper than therapy, more fun than kale! 😂

CONFIDENCE | Confidence doesn’t come from a supplement or another influencer endorsed face cream. It doesn’t come from shrinking yourself and it doesn’t come from chasing perfection - what even is that? 🙄

It comes from doing the thing you once thought you couldn’t.

It grows out of the mud of showing up for yourself again and again. From getting stronger in ways that have nothing to do with the reflection in the mirror.

As I age I’m 100% with with - I don’t want to be skinny, I don’t want to shrink myself into a box of someone else’s design; I want to be “furious and jacked.” 💪

So far I’ve nailed the furious bit, and I’m working hard on the jacked part.

So listen up, your scars, your wobbles, your wrinkles tell your story - wear them with pride.

You are worthy. You are enough. Right now.

The pictures I wasn’t going to share | These were the candid shots, the ones taken between poses while I was ranting about the ridiculous nature of women’s clothes sizing and having the best banter with people I adore.

When I first saw these pictures, my brain immediately defaulted to:

“Look at that belly. Ugh, there’s just wrinkles, rolls, all things squishy!”

It got worse:

“What is happening with my face? I’m all teeth and double chins. No-one can ever see these pictures.”

The criticism was instant and brutal.

But then I looked again, and thought “look at that smile.”

It’s big and cheesy because I’m in a space where I feel safe, in a body I love, talking to people who light me up.

This body has been with me through good times and bad - we’ve been to hell and back her and I. Not illness, nor hormonal chaos or the harsh words of others have won. I’m still here. Stronger in mind and body than I’ve been in years.

So I’m sending them out into the crazy world of social media. Because my wrinkles and rolls sure as sh*t don’t define me. My smile may well take up half my face and crinkle my eyes into oblivion but guess what, this is what joy looks like. Joy in tiny gym shorts. 🤣

CAKE | I baked 2 cakes… 🎂

Not because I needed a backup this time, but because one’s for my birthday and one’s for a friend, which is a huge evolution for a former perfectionist who used to buy double ingredients “just in case.”

Something shifts in your 50s. You start reviewing the plot twists, the missed chances, the messy bits, the things you thought you’d have sorted by now. (Still no private jet. Just a Vauxhall Astra with trust issues.)

But the biggest thing I’ve learned?

Nobody cares if the cake is perfect. Nobody cares what you drive. Nobody cares if you’ve written the book yet.

Perfectionism is a trap. Real life is where the joy is.

This week at my photoshoot I worried about my wobbles for about 10 seconds… then I felt how strong 52 years have made me and thought: actually, thank f**k I’m not perfect. How boring would that be?

Maybe this is midlife: remembering you don’t earn worth, you already have it and the moments where you’re the most you are the ones people love.

I’m 52 today.
The cake isn’t perfect.
I’m not perfect and I’ve never felt more at home in myself. ❤️

Tomorrow I’m running in my first half marathon. Something I NEVER thought I’d be saying in this lifetime!

I won’t tell you I’m not nervous, I am. But I don’t think it’s a bad thing - nerves mean you care.

You can’t be brave without being a little bit scared first.

Reflecting back, I think every big moment in my life started with that exact combination: a knot in my stomach and the seed of a thought, “what if I can do this?” 😍

If you’re scared of something right now, maybe that’s the thing you should do next.

📌 What’s your next brave thing?
