2025 wrapped 🐍➡️🐎

At the start of this year, my friends and I chose words to manifest our year ahead and I picked transformation and it was not a total cliché.

I faced fears. Took risks. Said yes before I knew how it would unfold. Some days felt like I was flying, others like barely staying afloat. Both changed me.

This was a year of shedding old stories and stepping into motion. From the year of the snake into the year of the horse, with fire, determination, and a deeper trust in myself.

I don’t have it all figured out.
But I showed up. I moved. I was fully present.

Thailand beginnings.
Daoist Flow YTT complete.
Teaching full time.
Cycling everywhere.
New skills, new work friends.
St Lucia magic.
Kitchen redo.
Yoga with friends.
Retreats. Weddings.
And yes… Beyoncé 😭
So many brilliant moments not pictured.

Endlessly grateful for everyone who walked beside me this year, new and old.

Feeling full of love and hope for the year head, here’s to the version of us we haven’t met yet.

Snapshots from such a beautiful time of learning, playing, and building community.

I feel so deeply blessed to have shared this experience with and the whole Wild Permissions crew. There were so many moments, big conversations, quiet reflections, unexpected laughter, that I know I’ll carry with me for a long time.

One of the things that unexpected lyrics landed with me most was the idea of integration. Slowing down after learning or experiencing something new, giving it space to settle, and then coming back together to listen, share, and grow as a collective. It felt powerful in practice, and it’s something I want to bring into more parts of my life moving forward.

Special thanks to for welcoming us so warmly and to for capturing the magic so beautifully.

I can’t wait for Wild Permissions 2.0, Wild Permissions Resurrected, Wild Permissions Strikes Back … title in progress 💛

I think we’ve forgotten how to ‘winter’.

We live in a culture obsessed with progress and productivity, as if growth was our only purpose. But, as written in the Tao Te Ching“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished”.

Autumn teaches us to let go, leaves falling from trees, the late flowers sow their seeds, ready for next year. And just like a seed, winter invites us to turn inwards and nourish strong roots. However, for a lot of us, winter feels like the busiest season, with holidays, work, and social events ramping up in number and intensity. A feeling of pulled in multiple directions.

We have been conditioned to see rest and stillness as unproductive or not worthy of our time. However, these moments of rest are the foundations of everything that comes next. We are born of nature and we’re built to move with the rhythms of the world. And the innate wisdom of our bodies remember, even when our minds forget.

We are so attached to nature even our eyes have evolved to perceive more shades of green than any other colour, we are so shaped by our environment and the world around us!

Dopamine hits are what we crave. Not just aesthetic moments or items, but that heart stopping moment when the world overwhelms us and reminds us we are both small and infinite. When we forget autumn and winter, we forget part of us. We forget how to grieve, how to slow down, how to rest deeply enough to cycle back to spring renewed.

So, how do we manage our winter energy without disappearing from the world altogether? How do we show up for what nourishes us and our responsibilities while still slipping gently into our form of soft hibernation?

These are some of the small things I’ll be doing:
❄️Drinking hot teas
❄️ Eating warm seasonal foods (think root veg)
❄️ Cosy nights in with friends
❄️ Gentle movement practices like qigong or yin yoga
❄️ Strolls in the park, especially when the sun shows her face
❄️ Read that book that I’ve been meaning to start
❄️ Journal regularly

To live seasonally is to live fully. Sit in the truth that every season is a gift, we need to remember how to live by it.

Let me know some of your favourite things to do in winter ❄️

As London settles into its winter gloom, I can’t help dreaming about sunnier days on yoga retreats this year. I’ve been lucky enough to assist and attend a few this year, and I can’t describe how deeply nourishing and supportive these spaces are. With that said… I am SO excited to share that I’m planning my very first yoga retreat for next year! 🌞🧘‍♀️✨

If you’re craving sunshine, movement, rest, and a little adventure, I’d love to have you there.

Drop a comment if you’re interested and I’ll send you the sign-up form.

Or you can find it anytime in my story highlights.

Let’s escape to the sun together 💛

Another orbit around the sun ☀️

Everyone says, “Wow, that was a wild one!”and I know it’s a total cliché, but I can’t think of anything that fits better. This past year has been full of huge changes and bucket list moments; honestly, someone could mistake it for a midlife crisis.

It was my first time travelling to Asia, going to Japan and Thailand. I then completed my second 200hr Teacher Training in Daoist Flow (yoga, qigong and somatic movement). That experience lit a fire inside of me to leave my job to follow a dream of sharing yoga and movement.

A year full of travel, transformation and making moments I’ll be proud of for years to come.

Somehow, it’s already been a year; it’s strange to think all of this (and more) has happened. It really does feel like the start of something new

19. On retreat in Tuscany!
20. And finally, How does one install a hammock at home?

Sending peace and love to all! I hope we can create our own space of stillness and calm together at some point over the next year.

My final thought for this year. Do things that make you happy, not what you think is expected of you

Daoist Flow is a practice that weaves the common thread we running through yoga, qigong, and somatic movement. It honours the innate wisdom of the body, blending ancient Eastern traditions with modern embodied movement and philosophy. Deeply influenced by Daoism, Buddhism, and the cyclical rhythms of nature.

“The body is not a machine to be fixed, but a landscape to be explored.”

In Yoga, we connect with Prana; the breath and life-force energy. Prana nourishes our system, carried on the wave of the breath, awakening vitality and presence. Through movement and stillness, we return to our centre.

In Qigong, we attune to Qi; the energy that flows through all things. Qi flows through our meridians, our environment, and all of nature. With breath, intention, and soft strength, we cultivate harmony and flow.

In Somatics, we tune into felt sense; the direct experience of being in the body. We slow down, listen in, and develop awareness from the inside out. It’s not about form, but feeling.

Daoist Flow is the bridge. It’s where breath becomes movement, movement becomes awareness, and awareness becomes presence.

A returning to the natural rhythm within and around us.

An introduction to Five Element Qigong

🌱 🔥🪨⚙️💧

If you’ve been to any of my qigong classes, or to anybody else’s, you might have heard them talking about the five elements. Maybe that peaked your interest? Well, do I have workshop just for you!

Sunday 22nd of June I’m hosting an online workshop from 14:00 to 16:00

We’ll dive deep into the theory, take our time to learn each of the forms and a full qigong practice. Scroll through the slides for a taster into what we’ll explore.

I’ll send you the recording after the event. Plus, if you can’t attend live, I’ll still send you the recording so you can watch it at your leisure.

£25 per person

Comment elements and I’ll send you the details, head to the link in my bio or send me a DM with any questions

Come join me this Sunday .studio by the Hackney Downs, and every Sunday after that. I’ll be leading an aerial hammock class at 11am.

A breath-led movement class that uses the support of a suspended fabric hammock to explore strength, softness, and spaciousness — both on the ground and in the air. Drawing from aerial yoga, somatics, and acrobatic flow, this class is an invitation to play with gravity, flip perspectives, and discover calm through dynamic movement.

You’ll be guided through grounded sequences, gentle inversions, and optional aerial tricks in a supportive and inclusive environment. No previous aerial experience is necessary — just a willingness to move, breathe, and explore.

Leave feeling lighter, more open, and quietly empowered — connected to your body, your breath, and the space around you.

Book through .studio website. Classes are £20 for drop-ins. There are a few lovely intro offers available at this gorgeous new space.

I am so looking forward to sharing this class and combining all these transformative movement modalities into one sumptuous class ❤️
