Have you ever given 'awe' much thought? That feeling of overwhelming reverence, admiration or wonder.

If you watch a baby or young child, they seem to often be struck by awe as they explore the world around them, seeing things for the first time. As adults though, we tend to experience less awe.

We've seen it all before, or at least something similar, and often we are so busy in our lives or caught up in our thoughts that we might not notice things around us.

But as I started planning for this month's members workshop, I began looking further into the importance of awe. Cultivating awe as an emotion is crucial for enriching our lives and broadening our perspectives.

Awe has the remarkable ability to transcend the ordinary, prompting a sense of wonder and reverence for the world around us. When we experience awe, whether it's gazing at a starry sky, witnessing the grandeur of nature, or marvelling at human achievements, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of existence.

For this reason I've decided to continue this exploration of awe in my next term starting on the 15th April. Over the weeks, we will explore what awe means to us, tap into the feeling within us and decide how we can cultivate more of it in our lives.

Welcome more awe into your lives with my new term starting next Monday. Join me in person (St. Albans area) and online using my channel on Sudor. Links in my bio!

Are you loving this sunshine and don't want the summer to end just yet?!?
Hands up who wants a little more sunshine, warmth and time outside before the winter months come? 🙋‍♀️

I have just the thing for you....my La Gomera Yoga retreat in October! As the summer sets here, eek it out a little longer on this beautiful retreat.

I just love this retreat space, Finca Argayall is one of the best-kept secrets of the Canary Islands. This luxurious and magical venue on the unspoilt island of La Gomera sits nestled among the cliffs in a beautiful secluded bay, with a spectacularly diverse landscape, allowing for the perfect yoga holiday.

There will be morning and afternoon yoga, with 2 half yoga free days, and the rest of the time can be spent on the beach, by the pool, taking a whale watching trip or having a massage. It's honestly the most relaxing and peaceful places to be!

We have just released some more single rooms, so now is the perfect time to book. Find out more using the link in my bio.

This is for you if you've always wanted to begin yoga but you're not sure where to start? Perhaps you feel a bit intimidated by the large groups at the gym and you're not sure of the names of the poses? Maybe you've tried it a few times, but you're not sure if you're doing it right?

We will take the time to break down the poses and there will be a space to ask questions.
I'm keeping this a small, intimate class so I can give each student my full attention, so a maximum of only 8 people.

I've designed this course to be like a Yoga 101. We'll cover all the foundational elements of yoga including asana (the physical practice), breathwork, philosophy and more! This course will be a great introduction to all that yoga has to offer us in our modern lives.

My aim is that by the end of our 4 weeks together you will feel more confident to attend group classes!

This course will be perfect for beginners but also those wishing to get back into yoga or revisit the fundamentals.

Use the link in my bio asap to book one of the final spaces!

Details:
Saturday 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th September
9am - 10.15am
Studio 33, Ellenbrook, Hatfield
4-week course £56.00

BEGINNERS YOGA CLASS!
Hey all,
I am a local and very experienced yoga teacher with a gorgeous yoga studio just outside of St Albans, in Ellenbrook, Hatfield. (Pic below)
I am thinking about offering a New 4 weeks Beginners Yoga course starting on Saturday 9th at. 9am - 10.15 am for 4 weeks. A yoga 101 for anyone that wants to begin yoga but is nervous about joining a new class, or wants to go to thier gym class but feels a bit lost. Or maybe you used to yoga but want to get back into it?! We will take time to understand the foundations and basic of yoga, the poses, the breath and the philosophy behind it.

This will be a SMALL class with a maximum of 8 people so, warm friendly and inclusive and my intention is that by the end of the 4 week course you will feel comfortable attending a regular yoga class.

Price for the course will be £56.00. Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in,

As the end of term approaches, I will be taking a bit of a break over the summer holidays and will be running a reduced class schedule (more details coming soon!) But before then I have two beautiful practices this week to help us all take a little pause to rest and restore before the summer.

Even if you aren't affected by school holidays, this time of year usually is pretty busy. So take a pause and join me for some time out. There are just a few places left for both so don't waste time! Read on to find out more and find the booking links in my bio.

First up is my last Yin & Soundbath session before the Autumn. In this session we reach the end of our exploration of the elements, this time Ether. This element is all about magic, spaciousness, communication and sound- so a Yin & Soundbath is perfect! Take 2 hours out of your week for this practice to find some stillness, spaciousness and magic.

Then on Sunday, my half day retreat is the perfect chance to dedicate some time to your wellbeing. This morning only half day retreat will nourish you and fill up your cup before the holidays well and truly begin. I've designed the practice so that you will leave feeling rested, recharged and ready for the upcoming summer. What's more, as an offering from me to you I have decided to keep this half day retreat at the early bird price!

Booking links are in my bio, I hope to see you there! x

The lovely Joy joined me last weekend, assisting me on the retreat I held at West Lexham. It is always so lovely to have my mentees, past and present, assist me on retreats!

One of the main things Joy took away from the Ignite Mentorship Programme was a renewed sense of confidence in herself, her ability as a Yoga Teacher and her business. She had been teaching for 10 years but still found herself feeling lost and having bouts of self doubt. It happens to us ALL!

But now she's thriving! Having completed the mentor programme earlier this year Joy is moving forward with more purpose and confidence.

Mindset is a huge part of my programme and is so important, which is why I'm holding a FREE WEBINAR for yoga teachers focusing exactly on this tomorrow night! Will you be there?

Book your spot now using the link in my bio and let's start building more confidence and self belief! ✨

Tomorrow I welcome another lovely bunch of people for this months Yin & Soundbath session.

Unfortunately tomorrow is sold out but bookings are now open for my next session in June, where we will be focusing on the element AIR 🌬

These monthly sessions are a chance to take time out for yourself to completely switch off, take a breath and feel more grounded. And in these summer months, which tend to be high energy with lots of events to attend, some time out is very welcome!

We'll be exploring air. Not only is this element associated with love, freedom, openness, mobility, frivolity, positivity, and intellect, but it of course the thing that carries the vital energy or “prana” throughout the body and the universe.

Places for my monthly Yin & Soundbath session go quick so make sure you book yours asap to avoid missing out!

My new term starts on the 12th June and the theme will be JOY & HOPE ✨

We will be building on the physical strength and resilience we have built during this current term but will be inviting in more JOY! 🥳

As our brains have a natural negativity bias built into them and it's important that we cultivate attitudes of gratitude and look at where we can bring in more joy and play into our lives!

Physically we will spend 3 weeks looking at joyful backbends and 3 weeks in playful transitions. Options will be given to meet you where you are on the day!

We will also be looking at and incorporating how some of the Philosophical traditions and ancient texts of yoga sutras or threads, and how they can help support us to bring more joy and presence into our lives!

I can't wait to explore this with you all! If you feel like you could do with welcoming more hope and joy- join us!

In person classes are booking now and places are already going pretty fast! Book your now using the link in my bio ❤

Ever wondered what working with a mentor is like or why you'd even want to!?

Working with a mentor can change your whole outlook, they can help you see your own strengths, grow in confidence in your teaching and grow and change your business so much faster. A good mentor has already walked the path before you, made lots of mistakes and learnt from them and they work with their own mentors and teachers....

It can be scary to invest but honestly it saves you money and time!

This Thursday at 6pm I'll be joined by Emma, of Emma Daisy Yoga, who completed my Ignite Mentor program 3+ years ago after teaching yoga for 2 years. Since then Emma's yoga business has gone from strength to strength, with her now teaching on sold out international retreats and workshops, fulfilling her dream of teaching yoga full time. Emma is an amazing yoga teacher and now helps and works on the mentor programme as an accountability coach.

On Thursday Emma and I will be discussing her experience on the program and why we both believe working with a mentor is so important. You'll hear more about Emma's journey and the impact the mentor program had on her business and mindset.

Tune in live on my Instagram channel Thursday 20th April at 6pm. See you then! If you can't join live but you have any questions for Emma or me do send them in! 🌟

In my new upcoming term we are going to explore how our yoga practices help us to build our inner and outer Strength and Resilience.

What is strength? A sense of inner power and physical strength but also of mental strength and when we pair it with resilience - the ability to withstand adversity and move through life's inevitable difficult experiences with more ease.

Being strong and resilient doesn't mean that we won't experience stresses, emotional challenges and suffering BUT that when we do, we have the tools and ability to work through the pain and suffering and find more grace and joy in life.

In this term we will use traditional yogic tools, asana, breathwork, Meditation, paired with some neuroscience to build resilience and both physical and mental strength.

I still have a few spaces for my in-person classes at Studio 33 (between Hatfield and St Albans) and at Clarity yoga in St Albans.

For those of you who live further away, all but one of my weekly classes are streamed online and I have a library full of recorded classes on my Sudor channel. For just £39 per month you get all my live classes plus unlimited access to my library. Or for those who struggle to make live classes, my library pass is just £12 a month.

Scroll to see my weekly schedule and find links to book in person classes or my online membership in my bio.

With just a few more classes to go until the Easter holidays, it's time to open the bookings for my next term! And as we move further into Spring I can't wait to practice in my studio with the beautiful sunshine!

We get started on the 7th April for 6 weeks and all my usual and favourite classes are back! So if you're looking to build strength, focus on relaxation or a mixture of both, I have just the thing. Classes are continuing in person and online via my new channel on Sudor.

And even though I'll be taking a break over Easter, I will still be running a reduced schedule of online classes on Sudor. There are three classes each week over the two week break, including two shorter 30 minute practices. Plus my library of pre-recorded classes has an array of classes for you to practice with in your own time.

To book in person classes for next term, or to take out an online membership on Sudor (or both!), simply click the link in my bio. I hope to roll out our mats together very soon! ❤

Lovely word from lovely Kirsty - time to manifest and dream big ❤️❤️

Today is a powerful day for magic, manifesting and moving forward as Mercury meets Jupiter.

Open yourself up to receiving inspired ideas, insights and guidance and look out for signs, symbols and nudges from the universe about where and how to move forwards.

Get quiet, still and listen to your intuition and inner wisdom and where it wants to guide you.

And then act on what you are hearing, even if that means getting out of your comfort zone - trust in what you are being shown and make one brave bold move over the next few days.

If you’ve been struggling ask for help and guidance. The universe, guides, angels cannot step in unless we ask.

So today ask for what you want, pray for what you want. Say it out loud, let the universe know.

Your words hold such power, and never more so than the next few days.

So speak your truth and use your voice to express yourself and ask for what you want, need and desire.

This is a time to think big and dream big and manifest your ideas and dreams into reality.

Your thoughts, intuition and knowing are divinely guided over the next few days - see this like your soul calling you forwards.

It’s time to trust, listen and answer the call…❤️

I'm back from India and whilst I was sad to leave one of my favourite places in the world, I am excited to get back to my family and my cosy garden studio (and of course mostly my babies - my bowls!!)

You know I like to keep you lot happy and quite a few of you asked for some Soundbath only session, to drag your non yogi partners or friends too!! So at the end of March, I am holding two Soundbath Sessions! Allow yourself 60 minutes to shut out the world and let my crystal bowls take you on a sound journey. During this session, you will be surrounded by calming sounds and vibrations that create an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.

As the vibrations wash over you, your body will start to relax and your mind will become more open to healing energies. The combination of sound, vibration and energy can help you let go of stress, anxiety, and negative emotions while allowing positive energy to flow through your body.

The two sessions are on the 30th March, 6.30pm-7.30pm and the second 8pm-9pm. Spaces in each session are limited to 10 and places are going fast. Secure your spaces now using the link in my bio to book the time slot that suits you best and I'll see you very soon! NO YOGA experience required, suitable for all bodies.

NB. If you have epilepsy, seizures, are under 12 weeks pregnancy or have other medical conditions, you may need to seek advice before booking.
