Soul Journey Holistic Yoga and Therapies

29/01/2026

This Saturday’s class is shaped by the quiet turning of the wheel .

I’ve just added a new Gentle Hatha video to my online library, inspired by Imbolc and the slow return of light. It’s the same spirit we’ll be working with in class this weekend.

The practice includes soft Water Salutations, gentle Moon Salutations, and plenty of space to move slowly and listen in. We finish with a long, nourishing Savasana and an Imbolc-inspired guided meditation, rooted in patience, warmth, and the trust that things are unfolding, even if we can’t yet see how.

Sometimes the work is simply to soften, rest, and let the light return in its own time.

Imbolc arrives quietly on 1st February, bringing the light of the full moon with it.

Not with the drama of solstice darkness or the riot of Beltane bloom, but with a subtler promise. Snowdrops pressing through frozen soil. The days slowly, gently lengthening. A sense, felt more than seen, that life is stirring again.

At the heart of Imbolc stands Brigid – luminous, many-layered, impossible to pin down to a single role or meaning. She is a goddess of thresholds and beginnings, of hearth and forge, poetry and prayer. She belongs as much to the home as to the wild places. There are more stories about Brigid than I could write in a day. And at Imbolc, she walks close.

I have written a blog post exploring some of these stories, if you are interested. You can read it here: https://www.sjholisticyoga.co.uk/post/brigid-and-imbolc-tending-the-first-fire-of-the-year

And if you’re joining me this Saturday, we’ll mark the turning of the wheel with Imbolc-inspired yoga and meditation, honouring the quiet shift from winter towards light. A video will also be available on my website for those who can’t attend but would like to practise softly at home, in their own rhythm.

Tomorrow, and there are spaces if you would like to join us. It is so cosy at The Pod, and we are a very friendly community xx

We have spaces at our free weekly women's circle at The Pod in Burton Latimer. Every Thursday evening 6.30-7.30, this is a safe and warm space to come and be held and heard.

This is a free, friendly session dedicated to women's wellbeing and all women 18+ are so welcome. It can be so difficult to come to a new group for the first time, and there is no expectation to talk or open up - sometimes we just need a place to be in community with other women.

If this speaks to any part of you, scan the QR code or get in touch with us, and we will book you on.

Just one space remaining

Transformative Rest is now down to the final space.

This will be a small circle of women gathering at Laurel Park next July for three days of gentle yoga, nourishing food, deep rest, and time to simply be — held by wide skies and quiet surroundings.

If you’ve been watching, wondering, or quietly hoping there might still be room, this is the moment to listen to that nudge.

All the details are available on my website at sjholisticyoga.co.uk

If you have questions or would like to check whether this retreat is right for you, please feel free to message me. I’m very happy to talk it through.

I’ve written something I’ve been sitting with for a while.

About motherhood - not the shiny version, but the long, layered one.
About carrying responsibility in your body.
About loving fiercely and still feeling tired.
About what happens when the person who once mothered you is no longer there.

I wrote about being a motherless mother.
About raising children who are no longer small.
About sleepless nights that come from my own thoughts rather than a baby crying.
And about the quiet question that sits beneath so much of motherhood:
Who holds the one who holds everyone else?

If you are a mother, this piece is for you.

I am down to the last few spaces for this lovely workshop on the morning of Valentines Day x

Hi everyone, what a lovely busy week of yoga! It has been wonderful to see so many of you - and lots of new faces as well.

Next week is shaping up to be similarly full, you'll see there are just a few spaces left here and there. Remember, you can use my video library if you are unable to get to class in person. This week's gentle hatha is available already, and yin will follow in the next couple of days.

Our theme next week is 'Strength in Stopping'; expect deep rest and nervous system regulation aplenty!

And finally......Watch this space for new in-person classes coming soon!

*edit- there isn’t any women’s yoga this Wednesday as I’m on mama duties so ignore the graphic claiming there are 2 spaces there!

Tomorrow morning’s class is full. If you were hoping to practise but can’t be there in person, I’ve shared two online options, so you’re still supported and included.

• A £5, 60-minute video version of the class, including savasana at the end. Unrushed and spacious.
• A free 30-minute morning practice, uploaded this morning. A gentler offering for when time, energy, or capacity is a little lower.

Both are available in the growing video library on my website and can be practised whenever it suits you, in your own space, at your own pace.

Transformative Rest – July

This isn’t about escape.
And it isn’t about indulgence.

It’s about choosing a few days that genuinely nourish you.

- Exclusive use of a gorgeous retreat centre.
- Gentle yoga and long, unhurried days.
- Luxury glamping accommodation.
- Beautiful home-cooked food.
- Space to rest, wander, reflect, or do very little at all.

And if you’d like to soften the return to everyday life, there’s an optional extra night on the Sunday. £40 covers staying on in the glamping accommodation, with the option to volunteer at a nearby exotic pet refuge the next day. A gentle way to give back and re-enter the world.

This is a small, intimate retreat, and there are now just 3 spaces left.

Details here: https://www.sjholisticyoga.co.uk/transformational-rest-2026, and I’m always happy to answer questions.
