The Spring equinox is a time of renewal and rebirth, the perfect time to cleanse the body and clear the mind, to shrug off stale Winter energy (and anything else you need to let go of) and set intentions for the future! 
If you're weary of Winter this is the time to align yourself with the fresh energy of Spring. In this workshop we will move and breathe, meditate and relax, to shake off sluggish metabolism and the remnants of old emotions and habits that may be holding you back to clear and revitalize body, mind and soul. 
I will share with you some of the simple Ayurvedic practices I use myself at home each morning to detox and cleanse and we will take a break for refreshments so that you have an opportunity to chat and connect 😀
Join me 2 – 5pm Saturday 14 March @ Sancta Bookshop Cafe, Otley
It will be lovely to have you there!

This is a great practice to get an energetic lift but at the same time it's very grounding and stabilising for the mind: sit tall, chin slightly in & sniff the breath into the lungs in 4 parts & then out in 4 parts, driving it all from the navel point, palms pressed together ❤️
To do it live join me tonight at Soma Wellness 6.15pm in Otley!

Keeping our inner fires burning
this week with postures to get the body moving, build heat and stimulate the energy at the third chakra (also known as the navel centre or solar centre.) This is so important at this time of year when there’s not much daylight, the weather is challenging and our energy can feel a bit low.

Join me in community classes or online – for details check my class list or get in touch, it will be great to see you!

NOW, more than ever before, is a great time to learn to meditate! Why? Because now, more than ever before, our mental health is under so much strain as we move through this time of crisis and change.

Meditation is so beneficial for our mental health, and so relevant for these crazy times we’re living in, because it repatterns the mind. Meditation builds coherence and enables deep concentration so that rather than having a mind moving in many different directions now you have a mind that is working together to one point. 

You begin to tap into the underlying presence of joy which the yogis say is our true nature and you begin to tap into the underlying connection to everything and everyone.

Meditation & the Mind is an 8 week course on Zoom Monday evenings 7.15 – 8pm. You can join LIVE or get the recording to use in your own time. It starts 12 Jan with a FREE taster session and then continues through the Winter months into Spring.

Each session includes gentle stretches, powerful breathing practices from Kundalini & Hatha yoga and a guided meditation. The whole session can be done sitting on a chair (…or on the sofa if you prefer!) Message me if interested x

There’s a saying in the Kundalini world that “Kundalini yoga finds you.” And for many, that’s exactly how it feels.

It may not begin with conscious searching. It may come as a whisper, or in this case, as a book found at just the right moment—Maya Fiennes' "Yoga for Real Life". The attic becomes a sanctuary, a place to explore in secret, like something half-forbidden, especially when you’ve come from a deep loyalty to another lineage.

But the body knows. The energy speaks for itself. One posture—a simple spinal twist—can unlock something profound. Suddenly there’s clarity where there was fog, power where there was fatigue. That’s the intelligence of the practice. It moves beyond words.

The journey deeper into Kundalini Yoga can be unsettling. It’s not a graceful unfolding; it can be weird, disorienting. You might resist it, question it, even judge it. But the pull continues. Teachers appear, sometimes only online. Festivals, workshops, glimpses of the depth this tradition offers.

And then a turning point—like a 10-day immersion in India. Ten hours of practice a day, stripping back the layers. You return changed, and the world changes too. (In this case, quite literally—lockdown begins the very next day.)

That enforced stillness, after such intensity, becomes the perfect cocoon. The clarity gained doesn’t fade—it takes root. And with it comes the decision to go further. Not just for yourself, but to share what’s now become part of your own awakening.

POTENTIAL FOR TRANSFORMATION
From posture to perspective shift

Yoga challenges us — not just in the body, but in the way we relate to challenge. That’s part of what makes it so transformational. Holding a difficult pose becomes a metaphor: can I stay with this? Can I soften within the effort?

These small, internal shifts begin to ripple out. Through regular practice, our nervous system rewires itself, our breath patterns change, and our capacity to respond rather than react starts to grow. The postures are just the starting point — what matters is the subtle work underneath.

Yoga gives us a different experience of being in the world. One with a little more grace, a little more steadiness.
