The Sacral chakra is all about our emotions, our relationships and attachments.
When out of balance our emotions can overwhelm us and we can feel very needy and find it hard to move on or let go.
But when the energy at the Sacral chakra is balanced and open it has the potential for incredible creativity, sensitivity and the ability to flow gracefully with life’s constant change.
Join me at Soma Wellness, Otley for some Sacral chakra balancing Kundalini style TONIGHT at 6.15pm. Drop in / beginners warmly welcome 😊

Diving deep into the chakras this half term starting tonight with the Root!
Your Root chakra connects to the earth element and to your need for survival and security. It’s also the place where we hold many fears and insecurities… repression often going back years (or even decades.)
But the base of the spine is a powerhouse of energy and, when this energy is properly earthed, it helps to keep us grounded and secure.
It’s the source of our courage too – a quality we all need to foster to survive (and help others survive) these challenging times.
Join me tonight, 6.15pm Wednesday 5 Nov at Soma Wellness, Otley for some Kundalini yoga for the Root chakra. Beginners / drop in warmly welcome 😊

One of the sweetest practices, Pigeon breath is so valuable at this time of year for opening the chest and freeing resistance. It's a favourite of mine because of its deeply calming effect so I look forward to sharing it in classes this week!

Kundalini yoga can be intense at times so I love this calming practice for when the world feels a bit too much and you need to move and breathe more softly and come back to yourself.

This short sequence – including left-nostril breathing, Sufi Grind and a gentle bowing forward – is like an invitation to let go of the ‘doing’ and simply BE.

Breathing through the left nostril activates the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for rest, digestion and deep calm. It’s associated with cooling, feminine, lunar energy.

Practices like these remind us we don’t have to fix the day. We just have to soften around the edges of it.

The lungs are the organ associated with Autumn and they’re the home of our life force, our prana!

Our lungs are a delicate entry point connecting us to the outside world. So the quality of the environment we live in, as well as our habits, the psychological and physical ‘food’ we take in, all have an effect on our lungs.

Emotionally, the lungs are seen as the place in the body where we hold sadness and unresolved grief. The key word is unresolved. We all experience grief…but our ability to draw in breath / prana / life force and let go of what we no longer need is of paramount importance to keep our lungs healthy.

Join me tonight 6.15pm at Soma wellness, Otley for a Kundalini kriya for the lungs. Drop in and beginners welcome :)

One of the reasons Kundalini yoga is so potent in today’s times is that it works directly with the nervous system.

With all that’s going on in the world we need to be very resilient in order for our nervous system to cope with it.

And that’s what we’re doing this evening …strengthening nervous system to hold this immense change that’s happening both outside and inside.

Sound good? Join us at Soma Wellness tonight or any Wednesday evening 6.15 - 7.15pm. Pay as you go cash or transfer, beginners warmly welcome 😀

This place is VERY special and I’m hoping some of you might be tempted to join me next year 13 - 18 June 2026!

A yoga retreat is such a unique opportunity to drop out of your normal routine and take time for yourself - a fantastic chance to dive deeper into yoga and meditation and experience different teaching styles and traditions.

The setting of this retreat is magical high up in the mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema nature reserve, there's lots of free time to hike on local paths, visit the local village or relax by the pool...and the food is amazing!

Any questions please get in touch - for more info or to reserve your place follow the booking link below.

See you in Spain…?!

DISEASE RESISTANCE KRIYA! Why?
Because so many people have been struck down in the past couple of weeks with the lurgy 🙁

What's a kriya?
A kriya is a complete set of movements designed for a specific purpose… working with the physical body, with the glands, but also with the energy body, chakras and nadis (meridians.)

How does this kriya build resistance to disease?
By helping to keep digestion functioning well, aiding metabolic balance and strengthening the entire nervous system.

When & where?
Tonight 6.15 - 7.15pm at Soma Wellness, Otley.

Do I need to book or pay up front?
No, you can just drop in and pay by cash or bank transfer 🙂
