After living 18 months cold/ sores/ inflammation free (following a lifetime of infections) until the end of last year, and with an intense experience of increased inflammation/ suppressed immunity in my body over the past few months, I am now starting to get the right understand. This short video explains it very well - sharing with my students and friends who are serious about their health 🫂

Get ready to stretch, breathe, and relax at the beautiful Willen Lake North, right by The Maze in Milton Keynes. This is a unique in-person event where you can meet fellow yoga lovers and celebrate together. The event welcomes everyone, beginners, yoga curious, yoga sceptics, life-long students, teachers and lovers of the outdoors activities. This year we are focusing on removing all barriers - economic, cultural and misconceptions about yoga. By coming together, we want to show all residents - especially those who have been unwell for a while - that there are alternative ways of looking after your mental health. Yoga practice brings numerous benefits for the body and nervous system, as well as a new understanding of how to live a healthy and conscious life.

🙌🏻 Imagine a world where Collaboration & Purpose come before Profits.

Yesterday we came one step closer to make it happen: 12 professionals gave up their Sunday morning to discuss how we could bring more yoga (as well as other holistic and alternative therapies) to those who need it the most: ⚫️those impacted by long-term mental health issues, ⚫️addiction, ⚫️chronic health problems, ⚫️post natal depression, and ⚫️traumatic life events.

With clear takeaways, I am confident that Yoga for Health Alliance has exciting times ahead. Next stop: International Yoga Day 2026 Meeting in December (next month). A provisional date has been agreed which I will confirm once the venue is secured. It will be an open meeting for yoga and wellbeing professionals and enthusiasts who would like to get involved in the organisation of the event.

The cruise hosted by was very much enjoyed by all. Thank you for accommodating our meeting. It was indeed one of a kind and will be remembered for long.

If you’re thinking about starting yoga, now is the best moment. One day it will be too late 👻👻👻

Halloween Yoga 31.10.2025 🪦

Halloween gets a bad rep in some circles. Like with many other things, it depends what you make of it. I take it as an opportunity to acknowledge the one thing certain in this life, death. Part of our lesson on Earth is to get the right understanding and depart without the sense of regret or fear. ⚫️ Living in the past or in the future won’t get you there. ⚫️ Numbing your feelings at the expense of growth won’t get you there. ⚫️ Seeing yourself as this body alone won’t get you there. So if you’re paralysed by the thought of death, rethink how you live.

My costume carried a message to all who numb their feelings with one too many glasses of 🍷. It’s harder to sit with yourself and reflect, but it gets you closer to Who you really are. Promise.

What a blast yesterday with and a great lot at

Playful dance moves captured by my son upon returning from Bhavika’s Festival of Light last Sunday 🙃 inspired by a talented young dancer.

, or the “Lord of the Dance Pose,” is named after the Hindu god Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer. I can’t wait to get some proper instructions (added to my wish-list).

I feel we all need more 💜 COLOUR 💙 MUSIC ❤️ CONNECTION and 🧡 JOY in our life!

For many many months now I’ve been drinking warm water on an empty stomach instead of having coffee. Here’s why:

🧠 First of all, I broke a habit of getting coffee as a comforting routine before anything else. The benefit of this alone is strengthening my willpower and rewiring the brain pattern.

🧠 The main benefits are improved digestion, bowl movements and hydration. Coffee helps with your 💩 , yes, however, if you rely on it ‘to go’, it may be an indication of a poor gut health.

🧠 One of the main reasons for people to try this simple remedy is to relieve constipation.

🧠 Other reasons: detoxification (flushing toxins accumulated over the night), metabolism increase, to reduce congestion (nasal), improved circulation.

🧠 Following Ayurvedic and Yogic recommendations, I started drinking warm water in squat to improve the health of my knee joints. It has worked wonders so far!

🌿 I am currently doing Pancha Karma (3-month Ayurvedic treatment) and as part of it I have been prescribed to take warm water with Ashwagandha and Ghee, both of which have recently attracted a lot of interest from researchers and mainstream retailers in the West.

I am fascinated by Ayurveda and I intent to share it with my students as I believe everyone is better off knowing how they can look after their health in ways that agree with the nature, and our true self. No side effects but, yes, discipline and faith in the process required!

A new inversion pose which challenged my abilities and expectations of the final result.

The beauty of yoga practice encompasses so many aspects beyond the physical form ❤️

10 October is World Mental Health Day

Every year for the past 5 years I have been through campaign.

However, I believe raising awareness is not enough. As a yoga teacher I have a duty to create space and opportunities for people to pause, close the eyes and take a moment, for real, not for a picture alone. I am very happy to be able to continue this initiative at my workplace where every time there is someone who has never tried breathing mindfully before and discovers how it makes them feel.

For those of us who are and yet preach it to others often forgetting about their own practice, this is a loving reminder: TAKE A MOMENT
