Thank you all so much for your kind words, thoughts and messages 🙏💕 I am deeply touched and thankful.

Just a message to say that classes will be continuing as normal this week. We will be dedicating our practice to light, to those who have come before us and to those who are light in our lives ✨

I look forward to seeing you here if you fancy some yoga otherwise I will be back in the NY.

Much love and thanks again ❤️

My heroic father, Peter Dickins, has finally succumbed to eternal rest following a fairly lengthy spell of health challenges. What strength and resolution he has shown in the past couple of years — a steely determination that, in the face of all adversity shouts “do not give up!!” How empowering to know that in this blood there exists such all enduring strength, what a gift to honour, to keep in your heart and to remind the boys when you are 2-0 down, you do not under any circumstances give up. How I will honour this strength until my dying day.

I was also very grateful, whilst visiting my Dad on the stroke ward, to sit and experience such a deep sense of peace with him. To have held hands, and a steady, non-searching gaze, and to have sat in such deep peace. Like the blanket of peace that covers the earth on a still winter’s morning. The peace that runs through a river, the peace that fills an empty church, the peace that rolls through the hills, the peace that fills a deep, eternal night sky, I am so touched to have felt this peace with him and to know that he is resting in this deep peace now.

Thank you for these gifts Dad, on England’s pleasant pastures they were seen.

Safe travels. Godspeed.

Hey Yogis!

I am very excited to invite you to a morning of expansive yoga with some reflections / journal prompts woven into the movement and breath.. Followed by gathering in the warmth of the Sauna where we can sit and reflect on the journal prompts or chat about whatever ever comes up- our hopes + dreams for the year ahead with an invigorating cold dip (if you fancy) wrapped up in a warm blanket of sisterhood + connection.

The session will begin in the shed at 10am and will run until 1:00pm. There are 7 spaces available and each spot is £30. For booking please follow the link:

and look for New Year Newness.

I had a lot of interest about this in my stories so I’m hoping to add another date if the 11th doesn’t work for you.

Cant wait to hang out and create something lovely 💕

Hey Friends

Happy 1st December!

For yoga this week we are going to focus on the breath and review and integrate the breath principles with some light asana. We will make space for a nice little meditation during the class and create space for gentle inner peace during what is typically a very fun but at times overwhelming time of the year. So if you would like to give yourself a little moment of peace and stillness I have spaces available on Tuesday at 10.00am and Friday at 11.00am.

In a society that capitalises on lack, establishing the breath, understanding its movement, its nuance, and following it in order to access peace & self fulfilment, is a radical act of self sovereignty. It helps us to become self referential and whole in a society that is absolutely cashing in on our disconnect and self doubt.

Krishnamacharya says “The breath is the guru” so you must obey your breath!

So enjoy your breath, learn how to be with it and feel it moving through the whole of your body and your breath will always look after you.
