Lion’s Gate is open.
A sacred celestial stream flows now between Earth, Sirius, and Orion’s Belt — forming a cosmic gateway of light and remembrance.
🌟 Sirius — the brightest star in our sky, known as our Spiritual Sun — radiates high-frequency light and soul-activating energy.
🌀 Orion’s Belt, a powerful alignment of stars recognized by ancient civilizations, serves as a cosmic doorway, helping channel divine intelligence to Earth.
As the Sun moves through Leo, this celestial portal amplifies the heart’s energy. The universe speaks louder, clearer, and wilder — calling you back to who you truly are.
This is not just an astrological event. It’s a divine invitation:
✨ To rise beyond old limits
✨ To remember your soul’s wisdom
✨ To radiate your authentic light
You are encoded with courage, clarity, and creativity.
Let it stir. Let it awaken. Let it move through you.
🌞 This week in the summer classes we journey into the portal together:
She was never lost —
just layered beneath years of performing, pleasing, and pretending.
This is the journey of Remembrance — and it’s the heart of everything I do through Blue Lotus Yoga.
I’ve walked that path: from living as who I thought I should be, to gently unraveling the masks and meeting the truth beneath them.
Now, I hold space for others to do the same.
Through my unique blend of energetics, somatic work, sacred storytelling, and soul-aligned strategy, I guide women back to themselves —
not to become someone new,
but to return to who they’ve always been.
This isn’t about hustle, fixing, or finding yourself.
It’s about softening into your essence.
It’s about reclaiming your power — the quiet, rooted kind.
It’s about becoming whole, again.
🌸 The Blue Lotus doesn’t bloom in the light because it’s perfect.
It rises from the depths because it remembers.
Welcome home.

🌑 NEW MOON IN LEO | Thursday 24th July @ 20:11
This New Moon isn’t subtle — it’s a bold invitation to stand in your truth and forge your own path, rooted not in ego or expectation, but in the quiet clarity of your heart’s desire.
Leo rules the heart, the spine, and the solar plexus — the seat of our courage, creativity, and inner authority.
🔥At midlife, this energy doesn’t roar the way it once did — it radiates.
It calls us inward to confront the internal tug-of-war between heart and ego.
To honour our authenticity, even when it’s inconvenient.
To ask for what we actually need.
To walk — and talk — our pathologies into truth.
This Leo New Moon asks:
💫 What do I truly desire?
💫 Where am I still performing instead of expressing?
💫 Do I have the strength to lead myself from the inside out?
This is the moment to speak your truth, own your joy, and honour the version of you that no longer fits inside old expectations.
✨We’ll be working with this powerful energy at Intuit & Manifest — now a full-day workshop, because this process deserves depth.
Leo reminds us: You don’t have to prove anything.
You just have to feel what’s real — and move from there. 🌻

🌹 Mary Magdalene Feast Day | July 22 🌹
Tomorrow we honour the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene — a moment pulsing with remembrance.
For centuries, her name was wrapped in distortion. Once miscast as a sinner, Mary Magdalene is now rising from the ashes of misinterpretation to be seen for who she truly was:
✨ A beloved teacher and spiritual equal of Yeshua
✨ A Priestess of the Rose Lineage
✨ A carrier of the Christed Light
✨ And a guide of inner gnosis, healing, and awakening
The Gospel of Mary — long hidden, long silenced — speaks clearly to our time.
In it, she reminds us that liberation comes not from outer authority, but from the still voice within.
That the path home is one of integration, not denial — where the soul is strengthened through choice, agency, compassion, and divine remembrance.
We feel her awakening now — in our Wombspaces, Hearts, and Minds — as the Lineage of the Rose stirs again. The blue lotus blooms in our collective memory, symbolising the quiet yet undeniable return of the feminine mysteries, long buried beneath dogma.
Though her feast day originates in the very traditions that once diminished her, there is a sacred irony — and a powerful alchemy — in reclaiming it.
We do not venerate the distortion.
We stand in devotion to the living truth of who She is, and who we are becoming through Her.
Mary Magdalene walks with us.
She lives in us.
And on this day, we remember — together.
🌹 The Rose is rising. The Magdalene is returning. And the temple is within.

✨Today feels like the first day of the summer holidays — that rush of lightness, possibility, and unstructured joy we knew as children.
Remember that feeling? 6 long weeks stretched ahead like golden threads of time. ☀️💫
Today, let that memory guide you.
The energy is shifting — not stopping, but softening.
Our regular Monday sessions have now paused, and this week marks the final Wednesday class of the current block.
We begin to slow down for Summer, while still staying strong and intentional, but this is also a week full of quiet power.
🌑 On Thursday, the New Moon in Leo arrives, bringing bold, radiant energy that’s all about courage, creativity, and unapologetic self-expression. It’s a beautiful contrast to the stillness we often associate with summer. A reminder that rest can also be powerful — and that even while slowing, we’re still growing.
This week, let your heart lead. Take up space. Dream out loud. And trust that the quiet is where the most potent transformations are beginning. 💛

Midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s a portal.
The stories we’ve been told about this season are too small for who we’re becoming.
This isn’t the end — it’s the initiation.
The rising.
The remembering.
The unapologetic unfolding of your sacred, sovereign self.
These are just 7 of the ways midlife calls us into our power — not someday, but right now.
🌿 We move together.
🌕 We honour this moment.
🌺 We dance it open.
September classes now open.
Summer drop-ins begin July 29.
Step through the portal.
Mercury Retrograde isn’t here to ruin your plans — it’s here to guide you inward.
This is your sacred pause. A time to slow down, soften, and realign with your inner truth.
Mercury governs:
• 🗣️ Communication & expression
• ✈️ Travel, movement & plans
• 📱 Technology & digital flow
• 🧠 Thoughts, decisions & perception
When Mercury appears to move backwards, life invites you to do the same — to retrace, review, and recalibrate what no longer aligns.
🌿 What You Might Notice Through This Retrograde Period:
• Misunderstandings or mixed signals
• Delays in travel or plans
• Old stories, people, or patterns resurfacing
• Tech hiccups (Wi-Fi drops, data lost, devices glitching)
• Feeling mentally foggy or deeply reflective
These aren’t mistakes — they’re messengers. Mercury Retrograde is a cosmic reset portal, and if we allow it, it brings powerful clarity.
🌀 This Retrograde Reminds Us:
🔹 Reflect. Review. Reset.
Let these be your guideposts for the weeks ahead.
🔹 Pause before you press send.
Let your words be thoughtful and intentional — especially now and check the detail!
🔹 It’s not falling apart — it’s realigning.
Retrograde may stir discomfort, but it’s here to redirect you to truth.
🔹 Your past may knock — only answer with wisdom.
If old energies return, greet them from your healed, grounded self.
💠 Use this time to journal, revisit old ideas with fresh eyes, or simply rest more deeply.
Mercury Retrograde is your permission slip to slow down and come home to yourself.

My favourite tarot card? The High Priestess. 🔮
She’s not louder than the world — she’s deeper.
She’s the part of us that already knows — that sacred, quiet voice that speaks not in logic, but in resonance.
There are no “good” or “bad” cards in Tarot, but this one?
She’s always a welcome presence in my spreads.
The High Priestess reminds us to come home to our own inner truth.
To trust our intuition.
To move from stillness instead of scramble.
She is the union of heart wisdom and higher knowing.
And she’s the spirit guiding my upcoming workshop: Intuit & Manifest 🌀
A gentle yet powerful 2-part journey into:
✨ Honouring your intuitive voice
✨ Exploring Tarot as a tool for inner clarity
✨ Moving your body, breath + vision back into alignment
✨ Learning to manifest — not from force, but deep soul-led knowing
There’s space for just a few sacred sisters who feel the pull to dive in.
And if you sign up to my newsletter by this weekend, you’ll receive a special quiz to help you discover if this is the next step on your path.
Because your intuition already knows.
The rest is remembering.
This is our final Monday class before summer break — and we’re going out with a dance party!🌀
Tonight, we move to the rhythm of Lord Shiva’s drum — the sacred beat of creation and dissolution, the sound that echoes through our lives as samsara — the ever-turning wheel of change, habit, and human experience.
These are the patterns we get stuck in:
✧ Self-doubt
✧ Old stories
✧ Limiting beliefs
✧ Fear of change
✧ Attachment to control
But Shiva — the cosmic dancer — is unbothered by any of it.
He meets every flicker of destruction, every crack in the known, with graceful, fearless movement.
To him, even chaos has rhythm. Even endings are part of the dance.
In the powerful pose Natarajasana (Dancer’s Pose), we embody this myth to liberate ourselves and step into our power!
A heart-opening backbend, balanced on one leg — strong, elegant, and courageous.
Just like Shiva, we balance stability and surrender, discipline and joy, effort and ease.
This pose invites us to:
💥 Open our hearts
🌊 Ride the wave of change
🌀 Dance through discomfort
🔥 Reclaim our power
🌺 Move with fierce freedom
Let’s dance with Shiva tonight. Not to escape our patterns — but to transform them.
To remember: nothing binds us forever.
And we were born to move through it all — brave, balanced, and free.

🗓️ September classes now open for booking-Link in bio!

“Yes I can.”
“I am enough.”
These aren’t just affirmations — they’re outcomes from students who recently attended STRONG💙
STRONG is more than a workout. It’s a return to confidence, capability, and inner power — a signature Blue Lotus blend of mindful yoga, resistance training, and meditation, created especially for women 40+.🌞
This video? A glimpse into the flow:
🔹 Resistance band warm-up
🔹 Mindful movement without weights
🔹 Targeted strength drills
🔹 Core activation
🔹 Repeating the flow — this time with weights
🔹 Seated meditation to land you home
Every week varies — but the intention stays the same: to help you feel strong, steady, and enough.
Here’s what women are saying:
💬 “This was as much a mental challenge as a physical one… I feel more motivated, procrastination is a thing of the past.”
💬 “STRONG is the perfect mix of slow strength moves with your usual sparkle, depth and insight sprinkled in.”
Tonight’s Capricorn Full Moon rises as a lighthouse above Cancer’s ocean tides — a call to ground what we feel into something lasting.
Cancer feels. Capricorn contains. Together, they teach us that balance is sacred. 🌗
This moon invites us to recommit to our soul’s work — not just career, but whatever holds meaning: parenting, healing, creating, being.
This moon is the balance point — a sacred Hatha moment between fluid Shakti and stable Shiva.
Capricorn doesn’t ask us just to “do the work” — it asks us to honour our life’s work. This may be your profession, but it might also be your mothering, your creative practice, your deep friendships, your healing. Capricorn invites us to stand in integrity with what our soul truly came here to build.
Ask yourself:
✨ Where am I placing energy — and is it aligned with my truth?
✨ What needs more structure or devotion?
✨ What does it mean to show up with soul?
🪷 Journal Prompts:
1. What is my soul’s true work right now?
2. Where do I need more structure for what matters?
3. What does integrity look like in this season?
Use this Full Moon to gently realign with your deeper purpose — not from pressure, but from truth. The sacred union of Shiva and Shakti lives not just in stillness or flow, but in how we embody both in our everyday lives.
May this moonlight reflect your inner clarity. May it illuminate the next step on your soul’s path.

Empowering you to transform your self-doubt into courage and unlock your potential & power with myths, ritual and sacred practice.
I started practising Yoga in a community class out in the wilds of Canada, where I had gone to live a simple outdoors life with my first great love. I found it such a grounding and nourishing practise that, when my beloved was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I shared the basic techniques that I had learnt for relaxation and pain management with him - and, despite his initial scepticism, they proved to be a great help to both of us.
It was during this time that I really began to discover the practise of yoga as a way to heal, as opposed to being merely a form of 'keep-fit'. Sadly, in 2001, he passed, and in the year that followed I used Yoga, in conjunction with immersing in nature, as a tool for my own personal healing.
It was in 2002 that I felt called to take the first of my many Teacher Trainings. Since that time I have had the privilege of studying with many inspirational teachers, including Shiva Rea, Tias Little, Doug Keller, Mukunda Stiles, Julie Gudmestad and Donna Fahri. In the last 8 years I have studied with Sianna Sherman and am a graduate of the first intake of her 300 Hour Rasa Yoga Advanced Teacher Training course.
I obviously love to learn and gain knowledge, but for me, the real pleasure comes from sharing and witnessing how yoga makes a real difference to peoples' lives. In addition to teaching my own classes I also teach on the Yogacampus, Manchester 200 hour Teacher Training Course. It is my absolute joy to see the trainee teachers flourish and thrive.
My passionate and heartfelt belief is the practise of Yoga is a powerful tool for facilitating healing and transformation on all levels, physical, emotional and energetic, is this founded on personal experience and observation. This belief is at the heart of each and every Yoga offering I share.
My classes are a creative and fluid inter-weaving of relatable philosophy, story telling, alignment based asana, through which I seek to empower my students and introduce them to Yoga as a way to help deal with life's challenges - however great or small. Yoga cannot remove the pain or lessen the challenging times, but it can give us a greater capacity and resilience to deal with life's up and downs. I truly believe yoga is for everyone and I teach in a way that encourages and supports Every Body.
Yoga continues to teach me so much about myself - it helps to empower me when I feel fear, it helps me to trust when I feel doubtful and it helps me to be present and at peace, even when there is chaos all around!! I can honestly say that Yoga has brought me so much inner strength, joy and bliss and changed my life in so many ways. I am excited to continue to share these incredible practices that can awaken spirit and help you to live your best life!
