Dear lovely friends. I am sharing this beautiful Varanasi cow because it makes me smile and I have so many beautiful memories from that remarkable place!

I am unfortunately unable to teach tonight as I have no voice! So I have been hunkering down with plenty of turmeric and honey and looking through some of my old photo albums.
I had so many adventures in India and was thinking about how inspiring they were.

I am still unsure about how my voice will be on Thursday night for the benefit class for GHT.
I will keep you posted.

I had planned a video post this week but sadly not possible.So I hope the cow brings joy!!!

Thanks to Ganesh Mohan for meticulously creating the Svastha Yoga therapy programme.
It is an absolute pleasure to share it infusing it with my own experience of working with these practices for many years.

Today I felt tired and a bit overwhelmed so I took myself for my walk a bit early. It was a glorious morning and the park lake was beautiful.

I love immersing myself in the moment when I feel things are ‘too much’. Our world is a noisy place especially at this time of year so finding little pockets of peace in our day is so important.

Do t wait to do this make it an integrated part of your day and you will feel the difference to your mood.

I will be not doing so much this month but I will be doing my charity restorative next Thursday night so watch out for details.

Love and shanti

Tomorrow I have two online sessions.From 7.30 am to 8am I am teaching a pranayama session which will be weekly in between my pranayama weeks.The intention is to build up a little morning pranayama practice community.

The code is meeting 886 179 3662 and passcode 191880.
It is a donation session so you can pay anything from £4-7 whatever you feel.

And then at 18.45 also from this room I am leading a yoga teacher mentoring session .All yoga teachers are welcome, so if you are feeling uncertainty, overwhelm or just generally need some support then come along.
It’s the same Zoom room code as the morning session.
It is £18/15 as I Jerath’s group very small to ensure everyone has a chance to be heard.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
Love and shanti@jx

Today is World AIDS day and I am proud to support George House Trust, an amazing charity dedicated to providing support,education, advocacy and community to anyone living with HIV.

This is its 40th year and GHT has been celebrating all year long. It has been inspiring to see them going from strength to strength
and to see how they have supported friends of mine over the years.

From supporting them in the 90s selling our poodle balloons at our cabaret gigs, to raising funds through my various yoga studios with donation tins, sponsored yoga and meditation events and community fairs I continue the support with my birthday fundraiser, (an online restorative session available to anyone who wants to rest at this crazy time of year)

I also have had many wonderful volunteering experiences with them from telephone buddying to fundraising at all kinds of events to teaching yoga for the Calabash project and working on the Acting Up exhibition this year.I have always felt supported and very much appreciated in whatever role
I have taken and felt able to share my accumulated skills from all the different iterations of my working life!

I would love you to join me in helping to raise funds for the great work they do and if you are interested in learning more go to https://ght.org.uk or .

My restorative session will take place next Thursday night from 6.30 -7.45 Zoom meeting ID 886 179 3662 and passcode 191880.

It is a very accessible gentle session designed to help you to move into resting mode.
The recording will also be available in exchange for your donation.

Thank you for supporting this event and I hope to see some of you there live .

I am ready to welcome you to my last yoga teacher mentoring session of this year. During my mentoring over 2025 I have heard so many of you feeling frustrated by the overwhelming misinformation about yoga being shared across the web and beyond. Only yesterday a number of students sent an alarming article about inappropriate practices being shared on a yoga teacher training programme. Unfortunately this is what happens when an ancient practice built on ethics of non harming, truth and compassion gets appropriated by the industrial capitalist machine that we currently live alongside!

So what do we do? Of course we must make it clear what yoga is and to create that definition, show what yoga is not. But coming together in wise and kind community with other teachers who share our commitment to sharing clear and authentic teachings is so powerful. You are very welcome to join us in our small group session next Wednesday night to find support and common sense!

I know that times are tough for yoga teachers, I experience this too. So come along and be part of the solution!

If you are struggling financially please get in touch I will make sure that you can attend.

Starting tomorrow morning! If you would like to join me either in person or catch up on the videos you can come and cultivate some inner radiance.

Winter is upon us and at times it can feel hard to motivate yourself to get moving and become present in your day. It can often feel like we are dragging our reluctant body around with us!

These one hour sessions encourage you to explore your breath through the movements in the body first in order to remove stagnation or agitation and to find your sense of presence.

Then working with our bhava ( the ‘isness’ of an experience that is uplifting or transformative) we will gradually journey into our prānāyāma practice.

Over the week this practice gently builds to create a simple repeatable practice that is safe, empowering and relaxing.

I hope that you will join me. Following on from these less frequent weeks I will be starting a regular Wednesday morning session 7.30-8am that will run weekly in between the weekly events. The plan is to create a little prānāyāma community.

I wish you a gentle and restful Sunday evening and look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow or sometime next week.

Shanti
Jane

It is now winter and the last of the leaves are making their way to earth. The mulch is soaking in and everywhere the skeletal silhouettes of the trees are reminding us of winters approach.

As yet the icy fingers of deep winter are absent, there’s just a lot of rain!!!

If you are finding the heavy skies tiring, and haven’t managed to glimpse the Northern lights yet, perhaps what you need is to come along to this beautiful workshop!

Unfortunately the last two weeks have been very busy for me with all kinds of things and I haven’t had much time for sharing on here.

So I wanted to just say this is my last workshop of the year and I would love to see you there.As always if money is an issue please reach out , I would rather have you there than not.

I would love to see you whether you are a regular attendee, haven’t been for a while or are brand new.

I am sure you will find something to help you through the coming season .

See you soon I hope
Shanti

What is yoga? What is ahimsa? How do we manage the way we interact in personal relationships and our businesses ? Can we be efficient whilst still maintaining ethical standards?

Yes we can! As you probably already have experienced as yoga teachers and practitioners, there are many who operate under the name of yoga and yet have no understanding or embodiment of the precepts of the practice and teachings. And of course in a definite minority are those who do their best to make mindful conscious choices in everything they do.

In tonight’s teacher mentoring session I would like to explore how we do this of course along with anything else that you would like to bring along.
I still have 2 spaces on this small group event so get in touch if you would love to join me!
