Well what a week, and what a lesson I have learned! For the first time in over 8 years of self employment I’ve been forced to cancel everything due to illness. And the stupid thing is,I knew this was coming! I’ve been doing too much and haven’t had a week off or holiday since last May, but I didn’t listen to my body and just kept going, and then on Saturday afternoon I hit a wall.

The last 4 days have been horrible, as well as feeling really unwell, I’ve felt guilty for cancelling classes and appointments, frustrated at not being able to, or wanting, to do anything, and worried about having no income. But most of all, cross at myself, a health and wellbeing professional who didn’t practice what they teach! 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

The positive is that I’ve taken time to rest (and have even learnt to nap!) and when I’ve felt well enough I’ve been out in the garden, letting nature work its magic. Today I’ve turned a corner and feel so much brighter (and even took on the mammoth task of potting up all my veg seedlings!) and tomorrow morning I will be back on the mat in St Neots. And I can’t wait! ♥️

Thanks to everyone who has checked in on me, and apologies again for all the cancelled appts and classes. The admins certainly kept me busy and hopefully everyone has now been rebooked. I’m forever thankful to do what I do and to be part of such a lovely, supportive community 🙏🏻🥰🧘🏻‍♀️

“I’m not flexible”, “I have terrible balance”, “I’m too old”, “I have ### injury”……just some of the reasons I hear why people can’t practice yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️
Yoga is movement, breath, getting out of our heads and into our bodies so that we can listen to what’s going on and understand what it needs in that moment. Sometimes it’s movement, sometimes it’s stillness, but that is all still yoga.
Eight weeks after breaking a toe I can now use it again but I’m really struggling with balance, but that’s all the more reason to keep trying, not a reason to give up!
So show up on your mat and just do what you can, and don’t worry about what you can’t do……your body and mind will thank you later! 🙏🏻♥️🧘🏻‍♀️

Indian chickpeas with poached eggs ♥️

This quick, fibre-rich meal is filling, tasty and really good for you too. Chickpeas are a great plant-based protein and full of fibre and essential minerals that promote weight management, stabilise blood sugar, and improve heart health. They are rich in magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins, which aid in reducing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, and supporting healthy digestion, and this meal packs in 10g fibre, 24g protein and only 412 calories.

Can we please take a moment to admire my most successful poached eggs to date? (I was so excited they they were still whole I forgot to add the chopped coriander!)

This will be our third blissful, full day yoga retreat at the gorgeous eco retreat in rural Norfolk.

This is an opportunity to let go of the physical and emotional tension that causes stress, as we spend a whole day nourishing and nurturing our bodies and minds and celebrating mid summer.

🧘‍♀️ Immerse yourself in 4 hours of gentle guided yoga (Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative and Nidra), meditation, breath-work and mindfulness practices

🌿 Nourish your body with a wholesome delicious plant-based 2 course meal made with vegetables from the kitchen garden and foods sourced locally

🎶 Relax deeply with a soothing sound healing session

🌳 Weather permitting, we will be spending time outdoors connecting with nature and enjoying the many facilities of West Lexham. There is a lake suitable for wild swimming fed by a chalk stream with paddle boards and boats, a naturally filtered swimming pool, 22 acres of grounds to walk in, a Zen sanctuary garden and plenty of space to relax.

🧘🏻‍♂️ This event is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioner, including complete beginners, but a reasonable level of mobility is required to take part and fully enjoy the day.

Headstand (Sirsasana), is the “king” of yoga poses and offers extensive physical and mental benefits by reversing gravity’s effects on the body. Key advantages include building significant core and upper body strength, improving balance, boosting blood circulation to the brain, and enhancing digestion. It is also known to calm the mind and reduce stress and can also get prana (energy) moving when we’re feeling lethargic.

I don’t often teach this pose in classes but it’s a regular part of my personal yoga practice. If you are going to have a go please take your time building up the necessary core strength first.

Always take it slowly with weight in your elbows and shoulders, not your neck. Align the hips over the shoulders before lifting the feet off the floor (never kick the legs up as this puts strain on the neck). Once up in an ‘egg’ shape stay here and get used to balancing (if you fall at this point you’ll just roll), then when ready try straightening the legs one at a time at first as both together can be a big challenge for the core. Once you get your balance have a play around with different leg positions, splits, eagle, tree….just have fun! Then come out the way you went in…slowly! 😊

🫜 Beetroot is great for digestive function and elimination, as well as being known to lower blood pressure, improve athletic performance, and reduce inflammation due to its high nitrate and antioxidant content.
This beetroot soup recipe is nutritious, filling and simple and I served it with sautéed greens (including the beetroot leaves to reduce waste).

Boil a bunch of fresh beetroot with the skins on (to stop hand staining) and once soft plunge into cold water and the skins will slide off. Put in a blender with 3 cups of almond milk, salt and pepper and 1/2 tsp ground coriander and chopped, fresh coriander stalks and add butter beans. Blend and then add a spoon of greek yogurt, toasted almond flakes and chopped coriander leaves.

(Then clear up the kitchen, which now probably looks like a crime scene!) 😂🩸

Yoga & Wellness Retreat, March 2026…complete ♥️
Well that was such fun!! 🤩
I am feeling so much love for this lovely bunch who gave up a weekend to come and let me guide them through two whole days of yoga practice .vedanta in Lincolnshire. We practiced Vinyasa flow, Kriya meditation, Somatics, Yin and Myofascial Release, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and then had some playtime in a Partner Yoga Workshop. (I don’t normally take photos of my students in classes but this workshop was an exception, and those beautiful smiles say it all!)
In between all the yoga we ate the most delicious food, drank gallons of tea, walked, and ate some more. We swam, sauna’d, talked, laughed and went to bed early and got up (very) early, and now I’m home I have to say I miss them all.

Life is good, people are good, and this weekend was a privilege for me as a teacher and one I will never forget ♥️🥰🙏🏻

This week in classes we are slowing it down with a gentle, spinal mobility practice, using the breath and a slow and steady pace throughout to open the front of the body, and strengthen the back.
This practice is really calming for the nervous system as it activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest & digest response) by moving slowly, holding poses for longer, and using slow, deep and intentional breath.

I do hope you’ll join me! ♥️

Fresh pomegranate is packed with powerful antioxidants, helps fight inflammation, supports heart health, and keeps out skin healthy from the inside out. It’s also rich in vitamin C for immune support and fibre to keep digestion healthy.

Have it on its own, with other fruit, yogurt, porridge or cereals, or use it to top curries and dahls. However you eat it, it adds beautiful cheery colour to the plate, and “eating with our eyes” means that the visual presentation of our food significantly influences our perception of its taste and appeal before we even take a bite! 😍♥️

I’ve been working out of this space (a 130 year old barn at the bottom of my garden!) for nearly 6 years now and it still gives me so much pleasure. Warm and cozy, with lots of natural light, plants, incense and an electric blanket in winter, I like to make any bodywork treatment completely holistic for my clients.

Whether it’s private yoga lessons, deep tissue / sports massage, relaxation sessions, breath work and meditation or developing a mobilisation or stretching programme, I do everything I can to make sure my clients feel relaxed and comfortable ♥️

This weeks practice is all about the stretch, and as well as a lovely flow sequence to stretch out the legs and hips, we will continue to mobilise the thoracic spine and are also going be ‘shoulder flossing”, practicing a mobility sequence using a yoga strap to move the arms within a controlled range of motion, improving shoulder flexibility, increasing joint mobility, and relieving muscular tension.

Your shoulders, neck and upper back will thank you! ♥️

Why vegetarian chili is a powerhouse meal… 💪

This hearty vegetarian chili is more than just comfort food. It is packed with nutrients that support energy, digestion, and overall health.
♥️ It is high in plant based protein (45g per serving) from beans and tofu, helping you stay full and satisfied.
♥️ The fibre content supports gut health and steady blood sugar levels.
♥️ The beans and tofu provide iron and magnesium, while olive oil and avocado adds heart healthy fats.

Choosing a vegetarian chili is also a more sustainable option, using fewer environmental resources than meat based meals.
It is nourishing, filling, meal prep friendly, and even better the next day.
