As Spring energy nips in, retreats, whips arounds me in a bluster and then surprises me with a calm day so perfect it is almost hard to bear so to my oil selection leans towards what I would call, eclectic (eccentric?), and I look to what I like to think of as the Oddities.

The Oddities are on one hand complex but on the other also sweetly and simply perfectly formed. They are difficult to describe but I also think of them as ‘fairy’ oils, sprinkling in that magic dust or spark whenever you need it.

So if you’re in need of a shake up or some spark and you have these in your collection then think about adding in to add diffuser blend or use with carrier oil for acupressure.

Speaking of which, this weekend I’ll be sending out the April journal which will include a PDF of potent acupressure points for Spring so please drop me your email address and I will send you a copy or if you would like some fairy sparkle of your own then send me a DM with your address and I will pop a surprise sample phial in the post to you.

Oddities you might like to explore:-

Pink Pepper
Spearmint
Litsea
Blue Tansy
Lemon Myrtle

If you’d like any help with starting to use essential oils to support your practices and routines, or advice about building your collection of plant energy please get in touch.

Planning for Spring: In all the classes I teach I combine movement practices and intention in order to support, temper and harmonise the energy of the particular season we are in.

I love this process of curating and editing - from the breathwork, to the visualisations, to the combination and running order of the forms, the seasonal references, to the poetry and prose that I read at the end that brings it all together. There is method in my madness!

I combine all this in to a seasonal series of 5 or 6 classes with a development arc in mind: introducing new forms (some of which I am in the process of learning myself) balanced with some old standards/favourties - so that the classes feel fresh; but also familiar. A little challenge. A little comfort. Repetition, balanced against the new. The unfamiliar then becomes the familiar as new muscle memory connections are made and a different part of the body is targeted, strengthened and nourished and the brain synapses also get a gentle workout from establishing new neural pathways.

And always with the overriding principle in mind of ahimsa - a sanskrit term for non-harming. Qigong and Yoga are nourishing, healing practices - coming from a place of caring for yourself, rather than looking to change yourself.

The Late Spring series of Yin Yang Yoga and Qigong begin next Thursday, 18th April. Suitable for all levels, including those completely new to the practices. Allthe information is below, please DM me to book or with any questions.

I’m a huge reader. Avid, insatiable. Always have been. And those who join my classes know how I like to read at the end, a poem, a piece of prose, something that has touched me.

And enjoying the written word as a form of energetic practice - in itself - was something that was brought home to me recently by Qigong teacher as I’ve never really thought of it in that way before I just knew that I love to read and that what I read often moved me deeply.

Now I can’t stop thinking about how words are actually stirring and tonifying my Qi ✨

With that in mind here is a collection of words & works that have recently worked their energetic magic on me - and thank you to those who have shared them with me as I in turn pass on 🌀
