More space, less rush. More intentionality, less being beholden to a to-do list. Give things space, to let the pathways reveal themselves and allow flow to happen. That’s how I feel drawn to let this year unfold.

There’s always things that will need our attention, and I feel lucky that yesterday I was able to take some time (not too much at -1!) to appreciate the beauty of an icy afternoon, to meander across frozen ground with my son and marvel at the pond we know so well completely iced over.

I named last year my year of listening, and I had no idea that it would lead to towards doula training with the wonderful , diving deep into listening itself and helping my realise how much I already am and do, and how to better be with each person I connect with and support on their journey.

I’m grateful for the wisdom and love of and and the spaces they hold together that have helped me transition in the last year or so towards a deeper, more subtle connection with what I do that feels more like being than doing.

As with the yoga teachings and trainings that have supported me and helped me grow over the past decade or two, my favourite part of this work is that it’s never about me. Teachings move through the space holder, just like life moves through us.

I’ve never felt more aligned with this journey and what I do. And though this platform is far from ideal, and there is so much injustice in the world near and far, I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect here. I wish I had the capacity for Substack, but part of knowing myself (emerging as a theme for this year) is owning my boundary for too much noise. So that’s it’s for now - a quick post on the last year, and back to hibernate on the inside a little longer, and to teach a pregnancy yoga class tonight.

I’m not done reflecting on 2025 and how seismic it was enough to post on here about it yet.

Here are some of the ways we can connect together during this next transformational year.

Starting 2026 with a swim, a forest stomp, and now sauna 🫶

We survived birthday week! 3 in 5 days is intense, and it comes around every year in our home now. Always exhausting, but I’m so proud to have celebrated our 2 becoming even more themselves and Rory turning 40 (spring chicken) this past week.

I wanted sharing morning practices for a short run of 6 weeks to help be an anchor at this changing time of year, when there’s usually a lot going on and it’s bit harder to get out of bed with the dark mornings.

Would you believe this is sped up! It feels so good in my body to go slow in the mornings even for a few moments, movements, breaths. Listen to what’s there, and respond. Rather than be on autopilot or in a reactive place.

There’s 4 more of these sessions and I’d love to see you there online. It’s open to all with inclusive options because the practice is an invitation to be, not a rule book on what to do.

9.15-10am on Thursdays from now until 18 December. Register for the zoom link and I’ll see you soon! X

Setting up for baby massage this morning, and this week’s sweet treat vegan banana and dark chocolate muffins. (Not a patch on ’s but my attempt!)

Two gorgeous groups of six families are coming for baby massage circles today. It’s week 3, so all about tummies, plus a recap on last week so everyone has the opportunity to relax, connect with their babe and each other, and learn through doing - and play!

My favourite quote at the moment is from in Why Doulas Matter, on how we are a carrying species being descended from primates. I like to add to that that we’re a social species, we need these supportive and protective spaces to grow into ourselves. We need that village around us in our motherhood, which is so much of what we do in these 5 week courses.

I run them every half term. If you’d like to join, February has spaces. X

Beautiful . You will find me here on Wednesdays 6-7pm for pregnancy yoga.

In conversation recently, I was asked how I’d describe my teaching style. I reflected that ‘respectful’ was probably most apt.

It’s a bit of a cliché to say you learn from your yoga students, but I truly do all the time. The pregnant mamas and birthing people who come to class through the 2nd and 3rd trimesters teach me so much about what it incredible bodies can do, how we can share and support each other through this hugest of transitions, and how we are all beautiful, unique and share these common threads of maternal lineage and deep inner wisdom as the ups and downs of pregnancy and birth are navigated.

So it’s with respect and deep reverence that I hold this space each week.

If you’re pregnant, I hope you can join us in Dalston soon. No previous yoga experience needed.

Come and move, breathe, rest and feel good. ✨

Morning Flow

A breath awareness, movement and meditation session open to all 🧡

This Thursday is the first Morning Flow yoga session via zoom🧘‍♀️

Why morning flow? Because one of the hardest things I’ve found about my connection with yoga since becoming a parent 6 years ago is my relationship with morning practice.

For a long time, my morning self practice or a class before my desk job was the thing that set me up for the day. I needed it as much as I needed a shower, and then in the first few years of being a mum, a lot of the time, neither of those things were possible.

Families are all different but mine needs me a lot in the mornings so I continually make peace with not being able to get a moment to myself or a minute on the mat, let alone an hour.

So I am inviting you this winter to step into a container with me, for the next 6 weeks. I’m committing to flowing into the day, and I’m inviting you to join me - maybe once, or for all six weeks together - to breathe, move, stretch, find stillness and reconnect to ourselves as we start the day.

If you’re WFH and have some flexibility in your day, you feel coming to yoga with babe isn’t doable anymore, or you just prefer the convenience of practising online - I hope to see your face soon ✨

9.15-10am on Zoom

Thursdays 13 Nov - 18 Dec (attend the whole series, or 1 offs as you want to)

Open to all bodies and experiences of yoga.
