PURE ORA STUDIO 🌈

The studio has been GIVING every Wednesday evening during the spring. We have had a couple of massive rainbows and some incredible sunsets 🌇 😍

I am all for interrupting the class briefly to go and stare at the sky 💓 Thank you crazy, unpredictable English weather!

Such a gorgeous space for our practice (and, yes, we do still work hard most of the time 😂)

29/04/2026

A very special afternoon shared at our Spring Awakening retreat 🤍

There’s something powerful about intentionally creating space to pause - to step out of the busy pace of everyday life and into something a little slower, a little softer.

Moments to move gently, to rest deeply, to connect, and to simply be. We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and allowed themselves that time.

We hope you’ve carried a little of that calm with you into the days since 🌿

New dates coming soon, keep an eye on this space 🌞

HALASANA - Plow Pose

Great for the back and the circulation 💞

Pose pointers:

🤯 Tuck the shoulders underneath before entering to avoid compressing the neck
🤚 Arms should be out long with palms on the mat
📚 Use blocks or a pile of books to bring the feet onto if the floor is too low
👣 Flex the ankles to lengthen the legs and ground through your toes
🤔 Keep space between the chin and chest - and don't hold the breath!

Join me on Wednesdays to prepare for peak poses like Plow, and practice safely. My aim is always that students can take the poses at home with confidence 👌

My schedule of classes for March/April are now live and available for booking 🥰 If you, like me, prefer a slow start to the year and await spring to start acting on goals and intentions, now is the perfect time to join me 💫

Drop in: £12
4-class pass (valid for 6 months): £40

⏰️ Please note, classes run for 1 hour 15 minutes, including at least 10 minutes of savasana for deep relaxation. This is a sacred part of closing our practice which requires a little extra time to be enjoyed 😌

My inclusive classes are safe and comfortable for all levels, abilities and genders.

We usually have a theme during the class; stay tuned to this page for more information over the coming weeks!

I'll see you on the mat 🙏🏻

🐫 USTRASANA GARUDASANA 🦅

This intermediate level pose, demonstrated by dedicated student Sandra, melds the heart opening qualities of Camel with the hip and shoulder stretches of Eagle 💫

As always, a really good warm up and use of prepatory poses (half camel, low lunge, shoulder activation, forward folds) are necessary before attempting this balancing backbend.

Interested in exploring some of the more unusual poses, learning about yourself and connecting with your body? Join my inclusive yoga, meditation and relaxation classes every Wednesday at 7.15pm at Pure Ora Studio, Stamford 🙏🏻

🐛 BABY GRASSHOPPER 🐛

Dedicated student Cinzia showing this pose so beautifully 😍

But how did we get here? Lots of twists, hip stretches/activation and hamstring strengthening:

🔸️Seated knee dips and leg lifts
🔸️Marichi's pose (seated twist)
🔸️Baddha konasana (butterfly pose)
🔸️Sphinx pose with leg lifts
🔸️Pigeon pose

With more challenging poses for the body, like this one that involves twisting in front of the knee and fully engaging the legs, preparation is always the way in 🙏🏻

I love secretly teaching a whole class based around a peak pose that no one knows is coming until the end 🤭🤭 and seeing the look on your faces when the pose is understood or achieved gives me all the warm and fuzzies 🤗

You'd be surprised at what you can do... once you've properly warmed up and prepared for it 💖

FEBRUARY
(Oh my goodness January actually ended!)

Join me every Wednesday night for classes 7.15pm-8.30pm.

It's what we all need as winter begins to wane.

Is January getting to you like it is me?!

I started off the year so positively, with the intention to get into my training for a 10km run, get back to my favourite weightlifting class at the gym, eat well, be alcohol-free, and finally launch the new packages for my PR agency. Plus get into a routine with social media as I found little time to post last year.

The reality?

🏃🏼‍♀️ I've done exactly TWO 5km runs all month so far.
🏋‍♀️ Keep missing the booking opening for the class and ending up on the waitlist, doh.
🍕 At this point I'm just glad I can eat at all! My appetite disappears when I'm feeling stressed.
🍷 Quite hard to toast the memory of a loved one without a drink in your hand, it turns out.
💻 The website pages are still in mid-development and I don't have the brain space to think about them just now.
📲 The only thing I think I've posted is sharing my January blues 🤣🤣

I'm calling it now and I know others that are in a similar boat - let's try again in February! It's too much in mid-winter for some of us, which is TOTALLY FINE (saying this as much to myself as to you!). It is okay to flail or fail or barely exist for a few weeks. We are like caterpillars waiting for the opportune moment to emerge from the crysallis and join the world again. 🐛🦋

❤️ I look forward to posting some much more positive and empowering content in Feb. Until then, we got this.... Just 4 sleeps to go! 🙃

Sadly for my family we lost our amazing 94 year old Grandad suddenly earlier this month and I have had no words and nothing to say... hence my lack of posting despite having the best of intentions for the new year!

My positive start to 2026 was thrown completely out the window barely a week into it. I'd just got back into a routine of running, meal planning, focusing on work & health, dry Jan etc. That all went to sh*t, obviously.

I'm slowly getting back on track little by little while putting absolutely no pressure on myself to do anything if I don't have the energy. Grief last week was like an actual weight on my body, at times I could barely move. The only thing I achieved, apart from walking the dog, was teaching my yoga classes and I can't thank my students enough for all your kindness to me in what was one of the longest and most difficult weeks of my life ❤️

If you, like me, have already fallen off your January bandwagon of good intentions, I am so here for you and please don't be hard on yourself because life happens. There's always tomorrow to start again. The sun always rises 🌅

With love and hugs, H & J ✨️

Word of 2025: TRANSFORMATION 🐍

Leaning into 2026? Sorry, I'm still deep in my 2025 reflection phase, babes 😎

Very much in keeping with the Year of the Snake, 2025 was such a year of big changes for me. This included the massive leap of getting back onto the property ladder and investing in another property, which meant saying goodbye to my peaceful cottage after three wonderful years 🥲 But I only moved a short distance away, so I still feel like part of the same 'hood. I'm still settling in, but wow it feels amazing to have achieved my biggest goal last year.

I experienced many animal signs of transformation during this journey, for example...

🦋A giant moth flew into my bedroom the day my offer on the house was accepted
🐸 A toad was waiting outside my Moroccan desert tent's door on my birthday
🐉A dragonfly landed on my finger when I was just starting a new connection

Sometimes it feels like the universe is supporting our goals 💫 Yes, I worked bloody hard to manifest my dreams through right action - but I do believe that everything was pointing to this being the correct path for me.

What is your word of 2025? I'd love for you share it in the comments.
