One thing you should know about yoga classes with me is… we laugh. A lot. We marry real beautiful depth of inner study with a lot of connection and laughter.

I’ve had a couple of comments before about “I’ve never been in a yoga class before where we can go from belly laughing to deep deep stillness within moments” - I love it that way! Because that’s all of life, right?! The depth of the experience - including the heaviness - met with lightness too.

Spend too much time in the darkness and you’re at risk of being swallowed. Spend all your time in the light and the ether and you move away from the fullness of reality. Yinyang.

I also believe that laughter is theeee most healing tool! If you can’t laugh at the absurdity of this life what can you laugh at?!

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, join me on the mat Tuesdays - Sundays ♥️

There was an old man who used to walk his old dog near my house at the same time every day. His dog was 14, he was sick, and his owner is also slowing down.

The man walked with a stick and his dog shuffled along next to him, neither rushing the other: the man stopping to take a breath, and his dog waiting patiently. The dog pausing for a moment of rest, and his owner resting with him.

Then, in an unspoken agreement, they would set off together again. No lead pulls. No force. No expectation. There was an energy around them that was full of trust. Tiredness, and trust.

Each time I saw them together I felt tears spring to my eyes… a stark, harsh reminder of how fleeting time is, yes, but more than that - a story of a bond that surpasses the need for word. Loyal companions side-by-side, traversing the hardness and the soft terrain of life on this Earth together.

I saw two of the same soul in different bodies. Perhaps over time it happened… they left their separateness and found themselves in one another.

I would wonder each time what their journey had been; the teachings, wonderings, tears, joy and heartbreak that had been etched into their souls, separately and together. Mirroring each other’s highs and lows.

My heart breaks and swells all at once as I remember this bond and wonder where they are now.

I look down at my girl, her eyes a deep brown - wide and trusting - and my heart breaks and swells a little more at how magical it is to know another soul so deeply without the need for words.

I didn’t need to know this pairs’ whole story, but it was enough for me to be changed, just in witnessing.

I am reminded once again, as I am everyday, of this story of ‘us’ that we are co-writing together on this planet every single day. ♥️

Coming to the end of our second week in our newly refurbished Holistic House Skipton, and in teaching in this beautiful studio.

Although there’s tweaks still to happen and as ever the building is always evolving, I have to say it feels like it really knows itself right now, somehow. As if in all the iterations of Holistic House that have been and all the iterations still to come I’m sure, it feels very present and grounded in itself.

It all flows seamlessly - corridors draped in rich fabrics pour into studios bathed in warmth and light, meandering into treatment rooms scented by oils and softness.

I feel completely different, too. As if I know myself as a person, teacher, custodian of this beautiful building and business owner more than ever and I think it’s from the solidity of this place.

I can feel it in our clients and students too - something has shifted. There’s a different energy in the air and it feels exciting… maybe the coming of the Year Of The FireHorse next month, who knows 👀

But what I do know is that I don’t feel in any rush. Things are growing and expansion is happening exponentially, but in a way that feels so very held, and grounded, and organic - life will show us where we need to go 🤲🌀 I’m listening deeper than I ever have before… to the building, to our facilitators, to our community and to my heart. I trust I trust I trust.
