😱Move from stressed to relaxed in my workshop:

FINDING CALM IN A HECTIC WORLD

It will be at 2pm on Saturday 28th February and is about moving towards stillness using Yin Yoga practice.

This is a practice where we hold the yoga postures for a few minutes to open up the deep connective tissue in the body.

We are still, we breathe and we deepen. And then we will move into a meditation practice designed to untangle ourself from our thoughts.
....and then we have tea and cakes.

✨I’m holding a transformative yoga workshop on Saturday 24th January: to support gentle change through movement, calming breathwork, and guided meditation. We’ll quiet the mind, open the body, and reconnect with the inner light of the heart — the place where our deepest intentions live.

👇Booking link below...

This is the time of year when we’re inundated with fresh intentions but the truth is we can set intentions any time. Each breath is an opportunity to open up and allow the heart to express itself.

I always feel there is too much pressure with intentions, that's why I keep mine nice and small and easy. Everything in moderation, and all of a sudden these small changes make a big impact. Well, that's my experience for what its worth.

Whether your intention lasts a year, a week, or simply today, showing up is enough. I really hope you can join me:

Happy New Year

Yoga isn’t just about stretching…

If you’ve ever been to one of my yoga sessions, you’ll know it’s not just about becoming more flexible or building strength.

Yes, the body matters and we need to take care of it - but yoga is more about understanding the workings of the mind.

That’s why relaxation and some form of meditation are so important.

This short video explains what it’s really about, for me anyway.

Have a watch and let me know what you think - and any questions that come up.

As you will know if you've ever been, I do like a good breather in my yoga sessions and here's one of my favourite practices.

There's a lot of emphasis these days on 'extreme everything' whether its breathing, yoga postures which are more like contortions, eating a gzillion hot dogs in 10 minutes, shoving a hundred ice cubes down your pants...you get the gist....

But all yoga and all life, for that matter, is about finding that balance between effort and ease. Not too much not too little.

See if you can do this practice without pushing or straining the breathe or the body.

In this guided session, you’ll learn a simple breathing pattern that activates the diaphragm, boosts oxygen efficiency, calms the nervous system and leaves you feeling centred and energised. This practice is done lying down, making it perfect for beginners, stiff bodies, or anyone dealing with stress or fatigue.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through controlled inhales, holds and slow exhales that help reset the mind, reduce tension and improve focus. This is an ideal routine before training, after a long day, or any time you want a mental and physical reset.

💪A few weeks ago, I shared an upper-body strength routine on my YouTube channel.

🦵This week it’s all about the legs - and this new 25-minute routine is pure joy for hips, glutes and everything that helps you stay strong and steady on your feet.

And if there’s something you’d love me to cover - strength, flexibility, mobility or just a calmer headspace, tell me.

If it fits, I’ll make a video for the channel.

I’ve just released a brand new Morning Yoga Nidra video on my YouTube channel, and it’s designed to help you start the day with a clear mind, steady energy, and a positive intention.

Personally, I find it helpful to start the day peacefully with a few yoga stretches, a bit of breathing and then 15, 20 or more minutes of meditation. Then the day is set up.

In this short guided practice, I’ll lead you through breath awareness, deep relaxation and a moment of intention-setting to help you step into the day with purpose. It’s simple, soothing and genuinely transformative.

If you fancy starting tomorrow with a bit more calm and a lot more clarity, you can watch it here 👇

Let me know how you get on — I always love hearing your experiences.

Namaste 🙏

💪Functional strength matters at any age — but it’s especially important as we get older. That’s why I’ve put together a simple 25-minute upper body strength routine for you to try.

The routine is designed to help you stay strong and mobile, whether that means opening the door for someone carrying the shopping, swinging a golf club or cat, or just keeping your posture in check as you walk past a shop window.

And a quick thanks to Andy W, who asked for this one!

My latest video is a short little dittie showing 3 moves to help prevent back pain. Its about core strength, flexibility in the spine and strengthening the muscles in the back.

Prevention is better than cure but if you do suffer from back pain episodes, there is a pain relief pose thrown in too. Its a sequence which you can do on its own or integrate into your own practice.

Find lower back pain relief with these gentle back stretches designed to ease stiffness and discomfort. This yoga for back pain routine is perfect for beginn...

✨Hope you are doing well and enjoying this autumnal feeling.

I have recently released a couple of new videos...one is a morning yoga flow which is perfect for those days when you just don't feel like it.

And the other is a yoga nidra for deep relaxation.

Here's the way I look at things...if the mind is saying 'I don't want to exercise' then that's the best time to exercise.

And if the mind is saying 'I don't know what to do for the best' then that's the best time to lie down.

🤔And if you're still undecided, why not do both. Simple really.

There are days when your body feels stiff, your energy is low, and even rolling out the yoga mat feels like too much. This gentle yoga flow for beginners and...
