You are enough.
For anyone who needs to hear this today.
Just in case you are doubting yourself today, tomorrow, in 2020, in 2021, in 2030.

Tantalising twists. I do love a bit of alliteration.🌟

Releasing kinks and creaks not just in the body but in the mind as well.

I’ve had an incredibly busy week teaching, the launch of Yogamatters new website (check it out, looks ace), contortion training, aerial hoops classes, helping my sister with a huge amount of SS October box orders ... so I’m really looking forward to finding some more twists but this time on rollercoasters tomorrow 😂. (My friends partner own a theme park...how cool is that.)

Yay to the weekend.. I see you and I hear you!

‘We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back.’

[The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Translation and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda.]

Soooo I dare you, double dare you to smile at a stranger today. 🙂

And when I came out of this, Zuri my little lion cub, decided to be right under my feet. 🦁 🐱

Always be aware of your surroundings when coming out of an inversion. Slow controlled movements. Dedicating this to all the partners, friends, iPhones and pets.💕

Although I was the one who came out of this with scratches.

The closer you look at something the more fascinating and beautiful it becomes. 🍁

Tap...tap...! 👁
When we take away our sight we activate more into the other senses.
Open up into this abundance, the third eye chakra.

Now imagine that in a pose.
Wobbly legs and dancing hips? Who cares? Let’s get into our bodies, our truth, not someone else’s. How society wants us to be. How a friend wants us to be. How a partner wants us to be. Yoga with the eyes closed can be a great tool to your intuition.

Turn up the volume on that internal gaze and focus. 🎶

My September theme is to embody the yogic principle of Satya (truth) in my thoughts, actions and words.

A good place to start is working from a space of communication in the practice. Notice how you are speaking to yourself on the mat.

Is it kind, honest and loving?
Are you finding resistance?
If you go a bit deeper in a pose, does the internal dialogue shift?

Keeping these principles in mind you can join me at my group classes:
Monday 7:30-8:15am Ashtanga Yoga
Thursday 08:00-08:30am & 8:30-09:00am Zoom Online (£5 per class)
Friday 9:45-10:45am Hot Vinyasa Yoga
5:30-6:15pm Laughter Yoga
Sunday 9:00-10:15am Power
10:30-11:30am Vinyasa

For those of you joining me online on Thursday please DM your email address and I will send you the info.

If Private classes interest you I have 2 new spots on Thursdays now available! 🌟

𝗨𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸.

About time! My first handstand hold for 0.1237392844 second. Hey an inversion is an inversion right!?

There is something magical about antiques clocks and maybe it was this magic that finally gave me the courage to turn upside down?! A sort of inversion Cinderella when the clock strikes. 😂

I used to prefer my feet rooted into the Earth, but the buzz and energy of handstands are so invigorating.

You’ll find me for the rest of the day upside down much to the kitten’s horror. The noise of falling out is not pleasant.

Wasn’t feeling the physical yoga practice this morning so I’ve just finished reading this for the third time. One of those where the title starts making more and more sense in your own life and you get that cheesy big grin. is an optimist and a visionary.

Now to mirror some good vibes into the rest of the home.
