At 102 years old, yoga instructor Charlotte Chopin still teaches three classes weekly thanks to simple, consistent habits.

Her decades-old routine proves that the best workout is one you genuinely enjoy and can keep doing.

Beyond poses, Charlotte credits social connection, a clear sense of purpose, and a grateful mindset for her lasting strength.

Research shows these pillars – regular movement, strong relationships, purpose, and gratitude – boost long-term health and happiness.

"I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience." — R. Buckminster Fuller

We often think of the mind as housed in the brain, with the body as its vehicle—a view shaped by Western philosophy’s emphasis on the mental over the physical.

But Stanford psychologist Barbara Tversky disagrees. In this exclusive IAI interview, Tversky argues thinking is not just something the mind does; it’s something the body is.

The movements of our limbs, the gestures we make, even our orientation in space, don’t just support thought—they are its architecture.

"So the gestures are somehow facilitating not just the words but the thinking. And that's a bit of a mystery to me, why movements of the body seem to be core to thinking," argues Tversky.

I am running a new course in January this year for those wishing to practice yoga in a simple and slow way. Suitable for complete beginners, chair and mat yoga practitioners. If you already come to my classes it can also be another class to swap into if you cannot make a session that week. You are most welcome to join this course along side another class in the week. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
It will be held at Wickham Hall rather than Riverside Centre on Monday mornings 11.15 - 12.15.

Reflexology is a gentle therapy that focuses on pressure points in the feet - each one connected to different parts of the body. Here are some of the amazing benefits:

Deep relaxation – Helps calm the mind, reduce stress, and release tension.
Reducing stress can encourages the body’s natural healing processes.
Improved sleep quality – Many people find they rest better after a session.
Enhanced circulation
Natural relief – Can help with the management of headaches, digestive discomfort, aches & pains, menstrual and menopausal symptoms and more.

Reflexology offers a peaceful moment to reconnect with your body and find stillness within.

Reflexology treatments can be combined with a short Reiki session which makes a beautiful calming hour for yourself.

An hour session is £45. Sessions available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Bovey Tracey. Please contact me to book:

The biggest and brightest full moon this year arrives on Stress Awareness Day – Wednesday 5 November.

If you’re feeling stressed – take a moment to gaze up at the moon – absorb it’s gentle, calming energy - breathe, reflect and let go.

The moment it will be closest to the earth and therefore biggest is actually during UK daytime - 1.19pm. How can that be? Well, it’s syzygy - the exact moment when the Sun and Moon are aligned on opposite sides of the Earth.

The moon will still look full either on the night before or after ‘syzygy’.
