It’s with a heavy heart that I’m closing this door.

Sadly, I’ve had no luck with finding a venue which would help me share my services with you for free.

After another follow up appointment with my sleep consultant, I’ve reflected and feel that I very much need to simplify my life to find peace in the night. The last puzzle piece to my personal healing journey ❤️‍🩹

Thank you to all the lovely families who have embraced Baby Massage, Calmer Stories and Family Yoga. I love that you are committed to your family’s bonding and wellbeing.

Thank you to all of the adoptive families who have opened their hearts, souls and homes to kids ‘like me’ and who are dedicated to bonding with them and for respecting them as individuals, their health and wellbeing. Yours were incredibly special sessions for me. I wish you all the very best with your adoption journeys and ultimately a lifetime of love, safety and happiness for your children.

I’m giving myself permission to focus on my ‘regular job’ and also allow myself actual FREE time. I teach children in care, who live in children’s homes. I’m still trying to support ‘kids like me’. I wouldn’t be me, if I wasn’t.

I’m very grateful to have become the adult I needed when I was a child, and I wholeheartedly share my voice for them ❤️‍🩹

A heartfelt thank you and goodbye,
Love Sarah ❤️
Namaste - the goodness in me, sees the goodness in you 🙏🏻

Hi there, I’m just letting you know that I’ve made the tough decision to close down my website 😢

Huge thank yous to the lovely families who have joined my sessions, I will be forever grateful for you, truly heartwarming 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you to my moral supporters, including each and every post like and share 🙏🏻🥰

Thank you Zak at Ctrl, Alt, Design…you’re a genius with a massive heart (and LOADS of patience ☺️) 🙏🏻

Thank you Greenwich Sports Community Hub, Ripley Leisure Centre and Wirksworth Memorial Hall 🙏🏻

Thank you Lisa and Sarah at Fusion, hoping to join you soon for yoga for myself 🙏🏻🥰

Inconceivable gratitude for my husband. For celebrating the highs with me, helping me up from the lows, supporting me while navigating the world of small businesses, helping me set up and tidy away, oh and for stopping the laptop being thrown through the window on many occasions…I’m such a 🦕 🤣. You help me bring my dreams to life, thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

It’s a door I need to close for my own wellbeing, BUT, I am currently wearing my thinking cap to consider how I can still share my passion and love with my community in school holidays 🧢 🥰

This summer, I’m focusing on my marathon training plan and making my Loch Ness Marathon dream, a reality 🏃🏻‍♀️

Thank you 🙏🏻
Love Sarah

Let’s consider how Family Yoga encourages ACCEPTANCE 🤝

Picture this…

A serene yoga studio with calming music, soft lighting… and a five-year-old using a bolster as a spaceship. Welcome to family yoga—where mindfulness meets mayhem in the most heartwarming way ❤️

In this space, we welcome everyone. Family yoga is less about perfect form and more about perfectly showing up AS YOU ARE ❤️

Here’s some of the ways Family Yoga encourages ACCEPTANCE:

• Everyone’s mat is a judgment-free zone. Maybe your child is doing ‘interpretive yoga’ instead of the actual poses. That’s okay. We accept the wiggling.

• We’re all learning to move together and breathe together, even if someone’s breathing through giggles or having another go at a shape we made 10 minutes ago.

• There’s no wrong way to be in this room. Which is good, because someone’s facing in the opposite direction 😁

• Parents and carers can let go; kids learn to take up space without shame; and everyone practices accepting what is—including wobbly balance and wandering attention. Discovering and celebrating how incredible our bodies are 🙏🏻

In the studio, surrounded by mats and shared intentions, families experience that magical yoga alchemy: learning to love ourselves and each other a little more deeply by letting each other just be ❤️

Sure, your turtle poses might look more like a game of Twister—but your hearts? Totally in sync ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Namaste… the goodness in me sees the goodness in you 🙏🏻

Next Family Yoga Session:

Saturday 12.7.25 10:30am

Let’s have a look at the PLAYFULNESS of Family Yoga 😁

Family yoga is a joyful combination of stretching, breathing, and laughing amongst our family or within the whole group ❤️

It’s where ‘Downward Dog’ might turn into a pack of howling wolves, ‘Warrior’ could become a roaring T-Rex or ‘Lotus’ turns into a legs in the air full-on giggling circle. There’s also something magically un-serious about trying to stay in ‘Tree’ while your child uses you as a maypole 😁

The beauty of it? No one’s judging a wobbly pose or that you may not be able to touch your toes. Family yoga is playful, mindful, good for the body and soul…and is all heart ❤️

Family Yoga is less about perfect poses and more about shared play, deep breaths, moving our bodies creatively and healthfully and for the simple joy of being on the mat together…even if you end up tangled in a human pretzel 🥨

Our next Family Yoga session at Fusion, Ripley is on Saturday 12.7.25 at 10:30am ❤️
