Yesterday evening was my final yoga class of 2025. Another year gone and what a year it’s been! I’ve added extra classes to my timetable, started offering Ayurvedic Yoga Massage to clients and met some really wonderful people.
Now that I’ve been teaching yoga for a year and a half, here’s a little summary of what I’ve learned so far (much more still to learn!):
💚 It’s ok to say no. If something doesn’t feel right or you don’t have the time or energy to offer your best, it’s much better to refuse than to do something half-hearted.
💚 My teaching style isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. I can only ever be myself. I’ve discovered my voice and my group of people. Everyone is always welcome but I understand I won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
💚 You can’t pour from an empty cup. I’ve especially felt this in December, having run myself into the ground and cancelled a lot of plans, I have made a commitment to care for myself better so that I still have the energy to make it through the winter!
💚 There’s no rush. I’ve slowed my teaching down. I’ve slowed my life down. I’m steadily growing my offering, but at my own pace. Everything happens for a reason and everything happens when it’s going to happen! It’s important to make that space for things to develop naturally, and slowly!
💚 Keep things simple. Yes you can teach complicated flows and try to incorporate every single thing into a class, but Yoga is very simple. It doesn’t need to be complicated.
💚 Big class numbers aren’t everything. Yes, the more people that attend classes, the more I can keep them going, but I am more grateful for, and moved by, the fewer and more regular attendees than masses of people showing up that I’ll never see again. I am entirely grateful for their commitment, their improvement over time and their continued support and genuine interest in the practice. I appreciate you so much 🙏
Stay tuned for more exciting updates in 2026 and hopefully see you on the mat soon.
✨ Have a wonderful and restful Christmas and New Year ✨
Peace ✌️ 💚
