It seems so appropriate to be in the Himalayas today ..

Today is the first day of Navratri, the nine nights of the goddesses and it’s also Vikram Samvat, the Hindu new year.

The goddess today is so relevant for me and my retreat group.

19 March 2026
Day 1 of Navratri
Maa Shailputri

Navratri begins with Goddess Shailputri, which means Daughter of Mountains...With the grace of Devi Shailaputri, may you find strength in your struggles and rise with courage through every challenge.

These are photos from a few days ago. A special puja for Maa Baglamukhi, a ta***ic Hindu goddess who is full power 🔥

Thanks to for organising such a special and powerful puja and a great Thali dinner 🙏

Yesterday with my retreat group we dodged the rain and possibly forecast snow to have a fantastic hike up to a local Durga temple. Guided by my good friend and his lovely new wife we were blessed with clear skies and very snowy mountains. So grateful to be here sharing these experiences with such a lovely group of ladies.

Heat and Yoga …

I’m a 52-year-old woman from England who struggles with heat regulation at the best of times. Outdoor yoga classes when the temperature is 30°C+ can definitely be a challenge.

In a class today the teacher (who I like and respect) mentioned that his own guru was very strict and didn’t allow fans. His teacher believed you needed to sweat.

He said this just as I was quietly enjoying the cool breeze of the fan!

It made me reflect. I imagine his teacher was probably a man, likely someone who grew up in a hot climate, and perhaps someone who never had to navigate menopause or the hormonal shifts many women experience later in life.

For me, comfort matters. If I’m overheating, I’m not present in my practice.

I’m grateful I can choose the approach that works for my body and my stage of life.

Yoga teaching here still often reflects a more traditional, masculine style. That works beautifully for some people. For me, my practice and teaching have evolved in a different direction.

And that’s one of the gifts of yoga — it continues to adapt as we do. 🙏.

Sharing my love of kirtan with my retreat group was one of my personal retreat highlights.

As I left my Indian harmonium in the Himalayas I asked this fantastic family kirtan group to come to our yoga retreat centre for a private kirtan!

Utterly joyful …

Flashback to last week!

On the last day of my South India retreat we visited the ancient Arunachaleswarar Temple, guided through its ancient corridors and sacred symbolism by a local guide who brought the stories vividly to life.

It’s the second largest temple in South India and it’s very easy to get yourself lost!

Afterwards, a fun tuk-tuk ride weaving through the streets of Tiruvannamalai carried us back to our retreat centre, laughter and temple dust still in the air.

I love Tamil Nadu for its incredible temples, history and pure fire energy! 🙏

Flashback photos from last week, when my retreat group hiked up to the Sri Ramana caves and a Hindu temple on the sacred Arunachala mountain for contemplation, meditation and fun times avoiding the monkeys and piling into the tuk tuks!!
