TRE is a somatic therapy that teaches us to access our innate body wisdom.

We learn to work with the body to process and release stored trauma and tension, and this means we can move past the trauma that holds us back and create more healthy patterns.

TRE can be used as an emotional first aid tool, and as a way to work through PTSD.

It can be learned in a 1-2-1 session or in a group, and can even be used to treat collective trauma.

Come along to Neurogenic Yoga with TRE at Namaste Barn on Mondays or contact me for 1-2-1 sessions.

The world is a complicated place and we can cultivate strength by focusing on the deep, inner peace that Thich Nhat Hanh references here.

Finding that peace can be a challenge, but it's easier on a yoga mat!

The asanas (postures), breathwork and meditation we practice in yoga bring us to a calm state of mind and help us to develop this peace for ourselves.

In recent months, I've been looking at small things that make the world a better place. Here's one that directly changes the way you impact the world and makes those around you feel better!

Spreading a little happiness is easier than it sometimes seems. Just smiling at a stranger can brighten their day, give them a reason to feel positive and encourage them to smile at someone else. The ripples of kindness spread out into the world and together, our small things can make a big difference.

What small things will you commit to try this week?

I know I mention it often, but the views at Namaste Barn really are something special! There's nothing quite like a yoga practice with this gorgeous scenery to look at, and it really is a privilege to watch the seasons change here.

We're well and truly into spring now, with warmer days and blossom on the trees around us. This is the perfect season to start something new, and we have yoga classes, sound healing and yoga retreat days for you.

Don't miss: Neurogenic Yoga with TRE on Mondays, Yin Yoga on Wednesdays and our full programme of retreat days and residential retreats throughout the year. See our 'What's on...' posts on Facebook and Instagram to find out more.

This week, I hope you get the chance to drink in a wonderful view. And I hope you can get on the mat and enjoy tuning in to yourself. I hope to see you soon!

Do you need to reconnect? Are you ready to slow down and take a moment to breathe?

Life is busy for many of us, and a retreat day gives you the chance to step out of the hustle and into peace. We have a selection of retreat days this year and some are approaching fast.

Yoga, meditation, relaxation… this could be just what you need.

You can book directly with practitioners or message us at Namaste Barn for more details.

Yoga brings us back to ourselves, and reminds us that we are not in need of fixing.
There is no need to become 'more' - more flexible, stronger or calmer. Yoga is here for us, no matter where we begin.

Yoga isn’t about becoming someone new, it's about accepting ourselves as we are, whatever we are carrying. Through yoga, we can learn to meet ourselves with kindness instead of judgment.

You are always enough.

It's the little things... I've been focusing recently on the small things we can change to make ourselves feel more positive, and here's one I really love!

Today, challenge yourself to stop every hour, whether you are at work, at home or walking the dog... take a moment to stretch your arms up above your head and wriggle your fingers towards the sky. Inhale, exhale, and release.

This is one of those small things that will help you to feel better physically and mentally - let me know how it works for you in the comments...

Enjoying a little meditation in the sun with my beautiful boy. Animals just seem to understand peace and tranquility instinctively - and they're usually better at playing than we are, too.

I am lucky to have this beautiful meditation spot on the deck at Namaste Barn, and I love to make the most of it when the sun comes out 🌞 This photo was taken when Flynn was a younger man, and he still takes every opportunity to sit in the sunshine and show me what it is to be peaceful.

Meditation has many benefits for the mind and body, helping us to feel calmer and more present and promoting better sleep and general health. Practising meditation regularly has changed my life đź’š

I was so delighted with this editorial review of my children's book, I wanted to share it with you! My book is available to order online now đź’š

“The Little Cumuli” written by Jo Hamilton is a really sweet book about three little clouds — Floss, Wisp and Billow — who look down from the sky, see children playing in a garden, and just want to join in. They go and ask the big grumpy cloud Great Nimbus if they can, and what happens next takes them on a journey they never expected.

It’s a fun and genuinely moving story, going from excitement to disappointment to a really warm and satisfying ending where the clouds discover just how important they actually are. There are some funny moments along the way too — including one that will have kids giggling out loud — which keeps the energy light and playful even when the story gets a little emotional."

Self care isn't just about taking bubble baths and eating good food, it's also about setting your life up so that you aren't consumed by anxiety over your to-do list.

Sometimes the everyday tasks become overwhelming, and breaking them down can make progress possible. If you've got a pile of bills to pay, set aside half an hour to deal with them. If you have a bunch of emails to respond to, sit down with a cup of tea and work your way through them. Pick a time when you won't be interrupted and just focus on this task, without getting distracted by any of the other things on your list. When you've finished, give yourself a big pat on the back and next time, tackle the next task!

I've been thinking about small things we can change in our lives to make a difference, and I love sharing these with you. Please share your small things in the comments!
