‘Yoga in Life’ - Sawbridgeworth, Old Harlow and High Wych

My new yoga flyer is out now - look out for it landing on your doormat.

9 things I’ve learned about delivering flyers:
1. Letter boxes at the bottom of doors are the hardest to post through
2. There are some very snappy letterboxes
3. A wooden spatula saves your knuckles from snappy letterboxes
4. Dogs behind letter boxes will grab your spatula and chew your flyer!
5. Don’t flyer in the rain! Soggy flyers won’t go through a letterbox
6. You discover places and houses you never knew existed
7. Some people don’t have a letterbox (or keep them well hidden)…
8. Delivering 250 flyers takes about 2 ½ hours – depending upon the length of drives and the number of garden gates
9. Like just about everything – it’s more fun with a friend

Yoga classes resume in September after the summer break.

Where do you wash your yoga mat?

Mat washing day for me in the garden – scrubbing on the table, rinsing under the lawn sprinkler, and drying on the fence.

Mat washing for me as a yoga teacher is a big job!

🦋 Nature at the Table: A Summer Reflection

This summer break has been a chance to slow down and breathe. With teaching on pause, I’ve found comfort in quiet mornings—coffee in the garden, just sitting and being still.

One morning, a butterfly landed beside me on the table. It lingered, fluttering gently, and brought with it a sense of calm. In that moment, it felt like nature had come to visit—offering its quiet, healing energy.

These small pauses remind me how vital rest is. When we take time to recharge, we protect our emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. And being with nature, even in simple ways, can be deeply restorative.

Let’s not forget to make space for stillness. 🌿

Yoga in Life, Sawbridgeworth

Yoga has influenced many people across the world for centuries and I love finding references to yoga practice and philosophy in unexpected places. None more so than at the Kiefer / Van Gough exhibition currently showing at the Royal Academy of Art.

Both artists shared themes of the starry sky and sunflowers with the starry sky symbolising the passing of time and the sunflower symbolising the cycle of life. In a process of heliotropism the sunflower follows the sun across the sky as it moves from east to west, then at night it closes down and moves it’s head back over to the east again ready for the sunrise the following morning. As the sunflower seeds ripen the flower turns brilliant yellow, and having achieved the purpose of it’s existence the sunflower starts to wilt and die.

Kiefer’s collage depicting a man laying on the ground in the yoga position of savasana or co**se pose with a sunflower growing out of his body suggests the cycle of life or ‘the condition of our being’.

In the practice of yoga we help ourselves to become relaxed and peaceful in body and mind, by laying on the floor (or seated), still and quiet, and meditatively focus upon our awareness of being, feeling ourselves to be, “…at one with nature”. (RA)

The cycle of the seasons and how we respond to the seasons has been the theme in my mat based classes this last year. Savasana is part of every yoga class I teach. Mat and Chair classes at Old Harlow, Sawbridgeworth and High Wych.
