BIG THANK YOU to for being the Guest Expert inside The YinFusion Yoga Nest membership yesterday💜

We learnt so much about using essential oils in the menopause, which oils are best for hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, aches, stabilising blood sugars, depression and much more.

Above are a few that Denise mentioned and are some of my favourites!

Denise is a fountain of knowledge and I could listen to her all day!

If you'd like to watch the hour long talk, then you can take a trial of the membership for 7 days, there's also lots of yoga and meditation sessions in the membership too to try out.

Neals Yard currently have a sale on their oils and the link to my Neals Yard shop is below if you'd like to purchase any.

I can highly recommend the Womens Balance range, this a beautiful blend of Rose, Geranium, and Frankincense 💜 Great for easing anxiety, balancing emotions and harmonising mind and body.

Drop me a message if you'd like any further information.

🙏Ready to slow down, melt into stillness, and be gently guided into pure relaxation?🙏

No experience needed, just lie down and rest.

Yoga Nidra is a beautiful practice that invites you to get cosy, settle in, and let yourself be guided into deep rest.

You don’t need any experience, simply lie down, close your eyes, and allow your body to soften.

In our session together, you’ll enjoy:
🕊 A calming space to unwind
🕊 A gentle guided journey inward
🕊 Stress release and nervous system soothing
🕊 Time to reset, restore, and reconnect with yourself

If your body has been whispering slow down, this is your moment.

Come join me for a peaceful evening tonight.

Your mind, body, and heart will thank you. 💗

🌿 Deep effortless relaxation
🌿 Reduces stress and anxiety
🌿 Helps promote better sleep and supports insomnia
🌿 Restores emotional balance and clarity

🐾Pause and Paws🐾 Monday Morning Meditation.

Who knew our pets would become our sweetest meditation buddies?

This morning on my Quiet Pause meditation that I host, numbers doubled!

Because everyone had their four-legged furry friends join them too!

Cats 🐈 and dogs 🐕 ❤️

I had to turn myself onto mute as Alfie was purring so loudly!

Join me every Monday for 20 minutes of calm, connection… and cuddles!

A great start to your week!

🌸 Begin your week in stillness and connection.

Each Monday morning at 8am, we gather online to simply sit together in silence for 20 minutes — a peaceful pause before the week unfolds.

This shared quiet space offers a beautiful sense of community and calm, even across the distance.

By taking time to sit, breathe, and just be, you create space for clarity, presence, and ease — setting the tone for a grounded and intentional week ahead.

No guidance, no talking — just the gentle power of collective silence.

Open to everyone, whether you’re part of The YinFusion Yoga Nest membership or simply wish to start your Monday in peace.

Register at the link below or in bio, free to attend.

Look forward to welcoming you.

Are you in love with Autumn? 🍂💛

Do you love cosying up at night in woolly jumpers, lighting the log fire, and allowing yourself to slow down?

Or do you find the darker nights a little more challenging, longing for the re-emergence of Spring again?

For me, I do love Autumn and all the cosiness it brings — but I also notice my energy naturally begins to deplete. That’s why, a couple of years ago, I made a conscious decision to take a step back and slow down towards the end of October and into November. To give myself time and space to rest and restore.

So, while I may have been quite on socials recently, rest assured I’ve been keeping busy — delivering yoga sessions, Reiki, and crystal healings, as well as spending some lovely time with my parents and enjoying a few days away in the camper with Mr Meridian. 🚐✨

There’s lots coming up next week in The YinFusion Yoga Nest, including:
🌿 Quiet Pause – Monday at 8am (not recorded)
🔥 Inner Warrior – Week 4 – Tuesday at 8am (members only)
🌙 Pure Yin – Tuesday at 7pm
🪷 Chair Yoga – Thursday at 12 noon
💧 Guest Speaker: Denise McGowan – Essential Oils and the Menopause – Thursday at 3pm
🌌 Yoga Nidra – Friday at 7pm

If you’d like to join me, you can sign up for a membership package or come along on a PAYG basis. If you're a member you get access to all the recorded sessions on the hub.

It would be so lovely to welcome you — to slow down, rest, and rejuvenate together during this beautiful, reflective time of year.

Drop me a comment below as to which is your favourite season.
