When Inspiration Breathes Back In -

As we gently close the door on January’s introspective stillness, February arrives with a different kind of invitation — one of warmth, connection, and heart energy. This is the month that reminds us that love is not only something we offer outwardly, but something we cultivate inwardly.

When Inspiration Breathes Back In -

As we move deeper into January, many of us feel a gentle dip in inspiration, a soft quieting where ideas seem slower or further away. Instead of seeing this as a loss, I’ve been reflecting on it as a threshold. The Latin word inspirare means “to breathe into,” and it carries a beautiful remind...

Stepping Into 2026 With Softness -

As we step into 2026, I want to welcome you back with softness. After the fullness of the festive season, there is something sacred about returning to our mats, our breath, and the practices that bring us home to ourselves. January doesn’t need to be a sprint — it can be a gentle re‑entry, a s...

As we step into a new year, I’m reminded that beginnings don’t need force.
They don’t ask us to push or perfect, only to soften.

To listen.
To return to the quiet place inside where clarity lives.

My wish for you is simple:
May this year meet you gently.
May you feel rooted and open.
May you trust the unfolding, without rushing the becoming.

Here’s to a year shaped by softness, presence, and the courage to stay close to yourself.

Happy New Year from my ♥️ to yours.

Back on the mat Wednesday 7th Jan ✨

Merry Christmas, beautiful souls.

As this year exhales its final breath, I’m holding deep gratitude for every moment we shared, the stillness, the laughter, the friendships woven gently between breaths and bolsters.

Thank you for an unforgettable 2025, a year that stretched us, softened us, and stitched us closer together.

We’ll return to the mat on 7 January, ready to begin again , steadier, wiser, and a little more luminous.

And yes… I’m posting this picture knowing full well my sons would never approve. But it’s Christmas, and a little parental mischief is practically sacred tradition.

Softening the Grip

Shoulders, neck, jaw… the places we hold what we cannot always name. The silent weight of effort, expectation and control. When life feels uncertain, we instinctively grip, in the body, in the mind, and in the ways we cling to love, outcomes and even possessions.

In yin yoga we meet these holding patterns with stillness. As we soften into shapes, the fascia, our body’s connective web begins to hydrate, unwind and release. What was bound starts to breathe. The body teaches us that spaciousness is not created by force, but by surrender.

This week in practice, we soften. We unclench the jaw, release the shoulders, let the neck lengthen. Each exhale becomes a surrender, a reminder that strength is not gripping but trusting ease.

Aparigraha, the principle of non‑grasping, whispers the same lesson off the mat. To love fully we must learn to let go. To be comfortable with losing, with releasing, with opening our hands and hearts.

Love is not possession. Love is spaciousness. And beyond love, this truth touches all aspects of life. The more tightly we clutch at identities, achievements or things, the more they begin to possess us.

When we soften the grip, we discover that letting go is not emptiness but expansion. It is the doorway to deeper connection, to sovereignty, to love that breathes, and to a life lived with openness rather than fear.

Mantra for the week:
“I soften the grip. I release what I hold too tightly. I open to love, to life, to possibility.”

Energy in the Body: A Yoga Perspective -

Energy is the invisible thread that animates and sustains life. In both Eastern and Western traditions, it’s seen as the flow that moves through the body, shaping how we feel physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In yoga, this energy is called prana, the vital life force. In Traditio...

Beneath the Pulse: What Lies Behind Blood Pressure -

Over the past few weeks I have noticed something quietly persistent. Blood pressure concerns are appearing in people who do not seem visibly stressed, ageing, or unwell. This observation inspired me to look more closely through the lens of yoga, fascia health, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
