LOUP YOGA

LOUP YOGA aims to support and encourage people to live healthily, happily and humanely. The multi-faceted philosophy of LOUP YOGA results in a holistic pursuit.

It does this through yoga, which includes the physical practice, breath work, meditation and mindful decision-making. Many figures have influenced LOUP YOGA’s ideology and philosophy, cumulating in this venture. It draws on the wisdom of the yoga sutras of Patanjali, the anthropological studies of Yuval Noah Harari, Michael Pollan’s insight into where nature and culture intersect. The most important aspect is to translate the wisdom and guidance available to us into practical action for tangible results. LOUP YOGA does this by offering honest physical and mental practices to support people moving towards this healthier way of life, that respects themselves, others and the planet we live on. We focus on:

HEALTH – HAPPINESS – HUMANITY

Disrupt ⚡️

Disrupt the stories keeping you stuck.

Disrupt the illusion of comfort that’s making you numb.

Disrupt the systems – inside and out.

09/01/2026

When I look at the world today, I don’t just see “bad leaders” or broken systems.
I see unhealed children holding adult power.

From Gaza, to Venezuela, what’s playing out on the world stage feels less like strategy, and more like psyche. Old wounds and nervous systems locked in survival. Power used as a shield against terror, shame, and helplessness.

An unheld child grows into an adult who must dominate, control, split the world into “us and them,” because their inner world is too painful to feel.

So war becomes projection.
Oppression becomes dissociation.
Cruelty becomes a way to avoid grief.

This doesn’t excuse harm but it begins to explain it, so that we can try to understand.

When trauma goes unexamined, it doesn’t disappear, it actually scales. It moves from the family system into the global one.

It enters institutions. Borders. Armies. Economies.

I believe it is time to DISRUPT this chaotic and destructive unconscious.

the healing of our species will not come only from new policies, but from new people. People willing to feel. To mourn. To metabolise rage, terror, and shame instead of acting them out.

Every time one nervous system learns safety, the world gets a little less dangerous.

The most radical political act may be this:
to tend the wounded child within, so they are no longer running the world.

Are you a perfectionist? So often perfectionists don’t think they’re perfectionists because they believe the word ‘perfect’ couldn’t possibly apply to them.

Sending love and Merry Christmas, if you celebrate it. 🎄

When you get triggered and you don’t know what’s going on, it’s time to get curious about your shadow…

It’s not as scary as it sounds. It’s not your secret wrongness or darkness, it’s just exiled and needs your attention.

Jung knew healing doesn’t come from correcting the psyche, but from listening to it.

Nothing inside you is wrong.

If you’re ready to be with yourself rather than fix yourself, come begin psychodynamic coaching with me.

Life begins to shift when you stop hiding from the truth of what’s present in you 🩵🤍

This is one of the philosophical roots of psychodynamic and depth-oriented coaching:

Change the internal world and the external world becomes newly available.

The world that appears to us is the world we get, because perception organises our lived reality.

You don’t get the world “as it is,” you get the world as you are in the moment.

Let’s look at this a little deeper because it is SO important for the life you long for…

Our nervous system, beliefs, emotional history, and somatic patterns shape what aspects of reality we can perceive, interpret, and respond to.

Two people can stand in the same room and live in two different worlds internally.

🌍 Why the world that appears to you becomes the world you live in

1. Attention filters reality.

Your brain filters out almost everything. What gets through is what it thinks is relevant, based on:
• past experiences
• current emotional state
• beliefs about yourself and others
• what you expect to happen

What you expect, you selectively notice and what you notice becomes “the world.”

2. Interpretation gives events their meaning.

The same event can feel safe or threatening depending on the meaning your psyche assigns.
For example:
• Someone being quiet → “They’re upset with me.”
• Or → “They’re just tired.”

Your interpretation is the world you actually experience.

3. Somatic patterns shape what is possible.

A body that is braced, collapsed, or vigilant will literally perceive a different world than a body that is open, resourced, and attuned.

The body sets the tone of the world:
• A tight chest makes the world feel demanding.
• A relaxed breath makes it feel spacious.

Your world becomes felt before it becomes thought.

4. Beliefs act like self-fulfilling frameworks.

Not in a magical sense but in a behavioral one.
Beliefs influence:
• how you show up
• what risks you take
• what invitations you notice
• what you unconsciously avoid

And these behaviors shape your outcomes, which then reinforce the original world you thought you saw.

The good news is, we have the power to become conscious and to ‘get’ a whole new world.

As Autumn’s warm tones drop from the leaves in elegant surrender to death, the winter cold sets in inviting us to take shelter, stay close, be warm and nourish ourselves with beautiful food from the earth and the comfort of those we love around us. Although it goes against the grain of our society’s busy Christmas period, this year especially I am drawn entirely into home. To wrapping up under cosy blankets by the fire with my boys, listening to Christmas carols and drinking golden milk, putting turmeric into everything… along with cinnamon and honey and letting anything unfinished have time and space for integration and completion before we say goodbye to 2025.

This year has been the deepest bodymind exploration I have ever experienced. I have felt parts of myself I’ve spent the last 30 or so years ensuring I did not feel. I have deconstructed identities held for so long out of survival and fear and stepped courageously into the unknown… and I have never been so in love with life and its rich tapestry of experiences, emotions, sensations and relationships.

At this time of warmth, comfort and reflection - I hold dearly in my heart all those in the depths of suffering. The people here in the UK choosing whether to feed their children or heat their home. The families and humans struggling to stay alive in Gaza’s winter - and all our fellow humans on this planet neglected and forgotten by our hardened hearts. My intention this Christmas is to keep softening my heart, keep caring about the people who feel forgotten, and to keep tending to my loved ones.

A few of my favourite memories from the last month, from an exciting family trip near Bordeaux to all those treasured moments chez nous… with books, porridge, kittens, dahl and so many cuddles (and plenty of chaos, illness and sleepless nights… just to keep it real!)

Me… angry? Nah.

06/11/2025

Reflection on life lately… pausing to remember what really matters. It’s not all the things we do and achieve. It’s who we’re being, moment by moment, and whether or not we’re allowing life to flow and move. It’s so possible, and I know because I used to do it, to live a life that looks great - but within that portrayal of a perfect life - there’s an unsettled, unsatisfied panic. A need to keep control. To manage oneself. And it’s really tiring.

But there’s also another possibility… to let go of the need to control life, and begin to trust it. To trust yourself within it and know that you are safe, your needs will get met, you are already beyond good enough.

I’m grateful to be learning every single day. And I’m so grateful for the ones I walk this life beside. My loves, my teachers, and my loves who are my teachers.
