✨ 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙔𝙀𝘼𝙍, 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙑𝙄𝘽𝙀𝙎✨
𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴

A New Year can be a time for fresh starts, and we so often feel the pressure to make resolutions as the year begins. These can be strict, restrictive, and unforgiving, but through my yoga practice I’ve learned something gentler and far more powerful: setting intentions.

🌿 Resolutions tell me what I must do; intentions invite me to grow gently.
🌿 Resolutions often come with pressure; intentions come with presence.
🌿 Resolutions focus on doing; intentions focus on being.

I try to let my intentions guide me from the heart, rather than from obligation. One way I shape them is through the Ten Yamas and Niyamas—yoga’s principles for living:

🌷𝙔𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙨 (how I relate to others) like kindness (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), and generosity (aparigraha) encourage me to be compassionate, honest, and open.
🌷 𝙉𝙞𝙮𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙨 (how I relate to myself) like contentment (santosha), self-discipline (tapas), and self-reflection (svadhyaya) help me nurture gratitude, consistency, and gentle self-awareness.

Some of the intentions I’m carrying into this year:
🌿 Move in ways that bring me joy
🌿 Speak kindly, especially to myself
🌿 Notice little pockets of calm every day

Intentions are flexible and nurturing—they grow with me, and this year, I intend to live consciously, compassionately, and from the heart.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗯𝗲?
Hopefully they include a little yoga?
✨Perhaps it has been a while, life has got in the way, and you have fallen off the yoga-wagon? No questions asked, no judgements made, no expectations - come as you are, that is always enough
✨Perhaps you are thinking of adding to your yoga schedule, or trying something new?
✨Or maybe you would like to share the joy and invite others to give it a try!

Whatever 2026 has in store for you, I wish you peace, joy & love throughout the year - and hope that I will see you on the mat soon!
Namaste

✨ MEN IN THE DEN ✨
A new 6-week course at The Den

Something brand new for Thursday evenings!
The 7:30pm slot on a Thursday is now going to be a series of 6-week courses, each with their own focus.

The first of these courses, beginning on Thursday 8th January, is MEN IN THE DEN

Men are, of course, welcome in all classes. That said, yoga spaces can often feel female-centric, which may create a barrier for some. It is also true that most times, men are looking for (and usually need) something a little different in their practice, and perhaps they even have a misconception about what a yoga practice entails.

It’s also common for men to find it more challenging to fully relax, switch off, and slow the nervous system, particularly with the pressures of work, sport, and everyday life.

This course is designed to meet those needs directly, with a focus on mobility, strength, and flexibility. We’ll work on areas that are commonly tight in men, such as the hips, hamstrings, and shoulders, while addressing the effects of desk work and sports through back strengthening, chest opening, and improved posture.

Alongside the physical practice, we’ll introduce accessible breathwork and relaxation techniques that support stress relief and mental clarity, helping the body and mind learn how to truly unwind.

The intention is to break down barriers, challenge misconceptions, and build confidence, so that stepping into a regular yoga class feels more accessible and comfortable.

Each session will include static postures, breathwork, and gentle flow, finishing with a guided relaxation to help fully integrate the practice.

MEN IN THE DEN
Thursdays at 7:30pm, 8/1/26 to 12/2/26
£50 for all 6 sessions

To book:
select the first class on 8/1/26, pay for the course, and I will sort the rest

♥️

I know that you want to lose weight next year.
But I hope you’re planning to lose it in all the right places...

I hope you’re planning to lose the heaviness hanging over you
from the cloud of overwhelm that sometimes threatens to engulf you.
The cloud that grows bigger as your voice gets smaller and you grow less sure of yourself.
You can shed that weight by saying ‘no’ more often,
and listening to your inner voice.

I hope you’re planning to ease the pressure that you put on yourself.
The pressure to be everything; to be the most successful, the funniest, the prettiest, the strongest. The pressure to be the best.
You can shed that weight by remembering that you are enough,
just as you are.

I hope you’re planning to lighten the load that you carry.
The one of never-ending jobs and ever-present roles that are often compounded by feelings of doubt and of guilt and exhaustion.
You can shed that weight by reminding yourself to take a break
and take a breath.

So I hope you’re planning to lose weight next year.
I hope you raise your voice and hold your space.
I hope you stand your ground and embrace your worth.
And I hope it helps you step out from under that oppressive heaviness, shrug off the pressures and put down the burdens.

And I hope that this time next year
you feel a whole lot lighter.
