Yoga is often sold as one more thing to add.
Another class.
Another commitment.
Another way to optimise yourself.
And for a while, that can work.
But for many women — especially those moving through change — it quietly stops helping.
Not because they’re failing at yoga.
But because yoga was never meant to be another performance.
I’ve written a new piece about:
• why burnout isn’t a personal failure
• why repetition matters more than novelty
• why steadiness can be more transformative than intensity
• and why yoga, at its core, is meant to support life — not compete with it
This isn’t about flexibility, motivation, or “doing it better.”
It’s about rhythm.
Structure.
And having something you can rely on when life is shifting.
If you’re tired of starting over — or quietly craving a way of practising that actually holds you — you might find something here.

No fixing.

Just a place to return.

I’ve always questioned yoga. From the very beginning.
Not because I didn’t love it —but because it never quite felt like enough.
I get bored too. All the time. And I stay anyway.
Repetition still annoys me. The temptation to change the practice hits often. I love learning. I love exploring. I’ll happily “borrow a book from the library” and try something new.
But I’ve done enough 40-day practices to know this: you don’t own a practice by visiting it occasionally. You own it by staying.
That’s when something shifts.The pathways become self-supporting.The rhythm starts to hold you instead of the other way round.
I’m not a monk. I’m a householder yogi with a life. I’ve burned out, questioned everything, mistrusted shiny spiritual voices, and gone looking for something more real.
What I look for now — in teachers and in practice — is authenticity. Something that can actually support a lived life.
This week a long-time member who’d been absent for a while came to class and said it felt like she’d come home. Another member told me she couldn’t imagine life without practice now.
That’s why I teach this way. Not to impress. Not to entertain.But to build something you can stay with — even when you’re bored, uncertain, or in the middle of change.
I’ve written more about this — why this work can feel unfamiliar, and why that might be the point — over on the blog.

No rush. No fixing. Just rhythm.

This week isn’t about doing more.
And it isn’t about doing less.
It’s about noticing what already supports you underneath —
and letting that become the rhythm.
Motivation fades.
Rhythm stays.
That’s the work this week.

What if strength isn’t about pushing harder —
but about noticing when effort becomes bracing?
A quiet reflection on space, honesty, and strength without effort.
New blog up.

You might notice the name here has changed to FireWoven.
It’s a name that better reflects the work I’ve been doing and living for a long time now.
It’s a name that finally fits.

Fire 🔥 as the thing that shapes us when we stay with it.
Woven as what happens over time when practice becomes part of life rather than something we perform.

It still holds everything that matters to me about practice: steadiness, honesty, rhythm, and real life.

And if you’ve been practising alongside me for a while, you’ll recognise it straight away.

Thank you for being here with me. 😍

Rolling out of bed and beginning from home.
Different to studio practice — not lesser. Just real.

Last night felt like something quietly clicking back into place.
Same practice.
Same people.
A space that feels familiar again — softer, slower, less rushed.
We stayed longer. We chatted. Someone was in rollers. There were laughs, check-ins, and the kind of ease you only get when there’s time.
It reminded me that it’s often the small, consistent things — space, rhythm, familiarity — that build connection over time.
This is the kind of change we’re making.
Not flashy.
Just more human.

FireWoven isn’t about lighting a fire and burning everything down.
It’s about tending one — over time — and weaving practice into real life.
I’ve watched Alison do that over the last year.
Meeting change, uncertainty, and growth without hardening or bypassing it. Letting practice shape her responses rather than protect her from feeling.
That’s what this work is about.
Fire for the courage to stay present when life gets uncomfortable.
Weaving for the steadiness that comes from showing up again and again.
FireWoven is for women who aren’t looking to escape their lives — but to live them more honestly, with practice as a companion rather than a performance.
January is for existing members.
FireWoven opens more widely in February.
If this feels like the kind of practice you’ve been looking for, you can register your interest via the link in my bio.

January hasn’t even started and the pressure’s already loud.
Reset. Fix. Optimise. Hurry.
This is me choosing a different way — and showing you what January actually looks like inside our practice community.
If this feels like relief rather than excitement, I’ve written about it properly on the blog.
