I’ve been quiet here as I navigate various shifting tides

The swirling tide pools

The sands of change..

Are you ready for..

An art interlude?

Images from the weekend .arts.centre .cambridge

👀 A table has arrived in the outdoor studio space

up-cycled from our original table from our flat in London when the kids were wee babs

I painted it yellow, perhaps 9 years ago and then my daughter added on some random white a couple of years back..

There’s 1-2 spaces available to come and admire this scene, at RESET (taking place inside the cedar studio) on Friday mornings

I’ve been reading a lot a lot recently - having finished The Dispossessed by The Unicorn by the indomitable and Unbroken by Alexis Quinn

The latter book was a random pick in the library ~ and is a memoir of sorts of a late (misdiagnosed) autistic female in the UK mental health system - spoiler she escapes to Africa to survive and recover because the system wasn’t fit for purpose around her needs/trauma alert!

abundance today - the theme of classes has been around manomaya kosha - the mental body, and so back to back LKM Mehta Bhavana in a meta fluid style as to be expected at YiY

There are ideas being propagated but as ever I’m juggling some home/health stuff with my daughter and keeping my mouth above the surface whilst pedalling franctially at times - the swan analogy

Remember to put your oxygen mask on first folks

Visceral. bodily. female. disability.

The video of Tracey Emin talking frankly about her abortion… and the images of female bodies on hospital trolleys with legs open, the stomas..

Because we all have this experience in one way or another, yes it triggered me

Not in a bad way, but in the way that I and all the other women had tears on watching the Georgie Wileman film at the Endo in the workplace event at Department of Astrology of couple of weeks ago

How can we not be affected?

I’m not sure I was prepared to feel triggered, I found myself remembering prints from small sketches of baked jaybirding’ bodies as a teen (I got in trouble with printmaking for bringing ‘p**n’ into the studio and argued they were just naked bodies, which I still hold to the day - nudity is not the same thing as p**n) but at that time it was just play..

I think so many of us were/are inspired by her explicit female platitudes

Where art begets life and life begets art

The stoma documenting.. that was so familiar, and yes I have cared for a stoma (not my own) and these images should not be shocking but the visceral nature of the personal

that packed a punch 🥊

I needed the Rose Wylie to recover, the absurdity, and ridiculous symbolism reminded me of Philip Guston’s paintings.. which I found odd was not offered as a comparison, where she is most strong, is in these random repetitive motif’s

And the paint, the layers and layers of paint like concrete

The rooms still pungent with oil

Finishing with at ~ stepping inside a shared studio gibli esque hallucination

That’s how I celebrate finishing an essay about Yoga Therapy for Endometriosis: the need for a trauma-informed client centred holistic approach

Tracey Emin pretty much sums it up.. 🩸 (there is no emoji here for uterus)

10 days off teaching Yoga now and I’ll be back Sunday 12th April

Explorations around the panchamaya koshas ~ the diagnostic tool used within Yoga Therapy

These sessions will be an introduction to the 5 Koshic Sheaths

Like Russian dolls, we will explore:

• annamaya kosha (the food/physical body)
• pranayama kosha (the energy/breath body)
• manamaya kosha (the mental body)
• vijnanamaya kosha (the intuitive wisdom body)
• anandamaya kosha (the bliss body)

No experience of yoga necessary to sign up, but will interest more experienced practitioners with an interest in deep dives around Yoga Therapy themes as well as psychotherapist/talking therapists

Early bird for the upcoming course

When you book before 8th April

Live & online Monday evenings for 6 weeks, beginning 13th April

Recordings available

Come explore in April 🌷

And… surrender

This week we finished with ishvara from EMBODIED ETHICS which Monday evening explorations have been focused on since Jan!

Next term will be an entirely new offering: the EMBODIED KOSHAS

6x sessions based around explorations into the panchamaya koshas ~ often used as a diagnostic tool in Yoga Therapy

Book for sessions from 13th April online/recorded, you are supporting a very small and longstanding self employed yoga teacher

It’s a wrap for my first term of teaching at Downing College and Fitzwilliam College

With 3 days off I naturally ended up on the floor yesterday afternoon

Thinking about the Myofascial release around the pelvis for the workshop coming up in April having had an endo awareness based month

Please do join me!

This will be strong on release mechanisms particularly around the pelvic floor and will be great for endometriosis sufferers and anyone with a pelvis!

This afternoon I brought back cruciferous greens 🥬 after a fair amount of digging compost 😊 from the eco group allotment share

Tomorrow you’ll find me volunteering for my youngest’s forest school - by the fire pit and likely rolling around (by accident) in muntjac poo in the leaves

Back in action for Sunday’s Mindfulness & Hatha & a couple of private and corporate next week

But other than that I’m otherwise indisposed

20/03/2026

Some beautiful moments

Connection this week 🌷

Coming up soon! … April RENEW workshop.. carrying on with the theme throughout Spring..

This time, a focus on the PELVIS

Expect some Myofascial release, really excellent for endometriosis and fibroids, but also pelvic floor and overall health and fascial glide in this area

Supine Flow, MFR, Restorative Yoga and a sprinkling of Yoga Nidra

April 18th, Saturday (3-5pm)

Bookings via website

Images are my own, spring time at Fitzwilliam college (last session for staff & students next week) with its exquisite planting and gardening, they grow there own onions and donate them to charity, lunchtime yoga at CDP, setting up for the new EMBODIED yoga online course (starts 13/04) & Lily Allen last Sunday at the Corn Exchange, we are the same age, born at Queen Charlotte’s hospital where I also donated 6 months worth of breast milk in 2014

See you on the mat!

Work today..

Sharing at event at department of astronomy at Cambridge University

Endometriosis in the workplace

Both .uk & spoke so well about the impact of endo, with both speakers having the condition themselves

This is an area I have both professionally and personal interest in, having been diagnosed first with adenomyosis and then deep infiltrative endometriosis a few years ago now ~

My whole life is balanced around navigating this condition with a child with highly complex needs and neurodivergence

Surgery wasn’t really in option on many levels for me having been much too aware of the impact in handing the bowel with my daughters surgical interventions as a baby

This is where Yoga Therapy comes in, pretty strong for me as a means to manage a chronic pain condition with which there is actually no ‘official’ cure

I’m looking for clients to offer 6x sessions to, starting May/June

If your interested or know someone who might be please get in contact
