When most people think of yoga, they picture making shapes on a mat. Many approach it purely from the physical side. Yet yoga is so much more than that.

Yes, we come to the mat to stretch and honour the body—but that mat can also be like a magic carpet, and the tools of yoga our genie lamp. Through breath, focus, and energy, we awaken inner power and connect with who we truly are. Yoga is ultimately the study of the self, giving us tools to inquire, discover, and expand.

🌿 In the *Spiritual Warrior Workshop*, we’ll explore the physical dynamics of each warrior pose. We’ll harness the breath—not only as a source of strength and resilience, but also as a pathway into deep peace.

🍂 As this workshop falls on the Autumn Equinox, we’ll also reflect, weaving gratitude for the harvests of our lives and honouring the shift from summer’s outward energy into autumn’s inward call.

✨ This is a perfect opportunity for beginners to experience the deeper side of yoga—beyond the postures—and gently explore the practices that make it a path of true transformation.

Don’t miss this special Equinox gathering— Begin your journey now—spaces are limited. It’s the perfect moment to step into your power and awaken the Spiritual Warrior within and discover the deeper magic of yoga.

🌿 Today, while clearing out some old things, I found a diary from the late 80s. On one of its worn pages, in my younger handwriting, was a quote by Richard Bach:

"In every life there comes a time when the door of opportunity opens, and you have to have the courage to walk through it."

Reading it again after four decades, I could feel the truth of it settle in. There were doors I didn’t open — moments when fear or un-readiness held me back. And yet, those very choices carried me into other paths, rich with experiences that became unexpected gifts. 🫶

And then there were the doors I did open — the scary yeses, the steps taken into the unknown. Terrifying at the time, but in hindsight, they were gifts, they taught me that: courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it. 🦁

Holding that diary also reminded me of something else — how deeply spiritual I have always been, and how my love of self-discovery began as a teenager. Richard Bach’s 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' and 'Illusions' weren’t just books I relished; they were companions, teachers, and gifts I shared with friends so they too might soar. 🦅

Now, as I look back, I find no need for regret. Each unopened door, each brave yes, each twist in the path has become part of a greater tapestry — woven with learning, with grace, with hard-won wisdom.

✨ Life is generous that way. ☺️

I wonder… when you look back on your own journey, what doors of opportunity shaped you — whether you walked through them, or chose to leave them closed?

Check out my September news letter.,

Namaste, I hope this message finds you well and that you’ve enjoyed a nourishing summer, whatever adventures (or restful pauses!) it brought your wayFor me, the season was a full one. Some of you joined me for my very first Awaken Your Vision workshop, which was a wonderful success. Well, mostly.....

30/08/2025

6 weeks ago I had a dream to create my first Vision Workshop and officially launch my coaching business (of which I'd been sitting on the fence with -in fear and procrastination. Yep that little chestnut, that limiting paradigm that just never goes away!

(I’d had a lot to deal with during my qualifications. - Most notably my best friend’s transition out of this world, and officially setting into motion the divorcing of my husband. -Listening to my Higher Self, I gave myself some important time to grieve, -for both.)

My goals were:
🌱 to post online consistently
🌱and to host a vision workshop,

I set the date 6 weeks out for 30th Aug.

Today is one of celebration because, guess what, by making that decision and taking aligned action everyday ....I did it. A dream achieved. Whoop, whoop!

And, I've already been planning out my next month’s Vision Workshop. 💪🤩

I’d just like to say that I am feeling so blessed and grateful to all those who have supported me on my journey of emergence, especially those who came to the ‘Awaken Your Vision’ Workshop today. I’ve had some wonderful feedback.

With love and light,
Alison .x.

Have you ever found yourself asking:

“Where did I go in the middle of caring for everyone else?”
“When did my own dreams get put on hold?”
“Is this all there is… or is there something more waiting for me?”

I know these questions because I’ve lived them.

For years, I appeared to have a “normal” life - home, wife and mother of two girls, cats, dog, chickens... - but inside, I felt invisible, powerless, and deeply unfulfilled. I had set aside my own voice, my creativity, and my dreams. Despite being educated and talented, I shrank myself to fit into a life that made me feel small. I gave away my power, I felt isolated and resentful, and I essentially forgot who I was.

Then some things happened in my life and everything changed. I realised that my life wasn't over, it was waiting. I'm now called to guide others who, like me, carry a deep yearning for something more. I help them rediscover their dreams, reclaim their power and build lives they love living.

That’s why I have created **Awaken Your Vision - Design & Live a life you Love** - a FREE transformational workshop for those who are ready to remember who they are, and reclaim their power.

Saturday August 30th 2025
10:30-12pm.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

✨ Reconnect with your dreams and desires
✨ Release old stories that keep you small
✨ Speak the *Language of Success* to create a life you love living
✨ And hear more about *My Story* of transformation

You will leave with a super set of tools that you can then implement in any area of your life. This is my gift to you.

So, if any part of my story resonates with you, I would love for you to join me. This is a safe and supportive space for those who are ready to stop putting themselves last and start saying “yes” to their own vision.

You deserve to live a life that lights you up and I’d be honoured to walk beside you as you take this powerful step.

Alison .x.

PS: For full transparency: This workshop isn't about selling. It’s about giving you powerful, transformative tools that you can begin to use right away. By the end of the workshop, some of you may feel inspired to continue your journey and integrate these principles more deeply into your life, so for those, I will share how you can take that next step with me -but the choice is always yours.

If you’re breathing right now… you deserve *every single thing* your heart longs for.

But here’s the truth: if you don’t *feel* deserving, you’ll keep blocking the very things you want most. I know - I struggled with this too. For years, I gave to everyone else and told myself my dreams could wait.

Here are 3 ways I began to expand my sense of deserving
(and I share these with my clients too):

1️⃣ **Focus on the Good** – Even in challenging situations, look for the hidden blessings. Life is always conspiring in your favour.

2️⃣ **Release the Past** – You can’t carry shame and believe you’re worthy at the same time. It’s time to let it go.

3️⃣ **Practice Gratitude** – A daily gratitude practice rewires your mind to see yourself (and life) as worthy and abundant.

✨ Start today:- even with one small step, and watch how quickly your sense of worth expands.

And if you’re struggling to feel like you deserve more, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I can help. 💌

DM me or join me for my free 90-minute ‘Awaken Your Vision’ Workshop we’ll work on your deservingness together.

If you’ve spent years putting others first, the idea of dreaming big for yourself can feel scary—or even selfish.

When I said YES to this India trip I had NO IDEA how I was going to achieve it.

But the truth is: dreaming big is the first step to creating a life you love.

Here are 3 ways to start today:

1️. Honour your discontent. That quiet feeling that “there must be more” is a sign that something bigger is seeking to emerge through you.

2️. Say, “up until now…” Your past disappointments may have shaped you, but they don’t define you. Your history ≠ your destiny.

3️. Co-create with your Higher Power. Begin each day with gratitude and focus on a dream you once thought impossible. Live as if it’s already unfolding.

Practice these daily, and you’ll begin to see miraculous changes.

And if you’re ready for support in building your dreams, join me for my free 90-minute ‘Awaken Your Vision’ Workshop — a sacred space to reconnect with your dreams and begin creating a life you truly love.
