Yup, it's Christmas Day once a month for me this year. I'm undertaking what I thought was a low-effort fundraising activity for IDAS, wearing this hideous, boiling hot, itchy, embarrassing Xmas jumper to work one day each month. Now we've hit summer I'm starting to regret it.

If you feel any sympathy for me, please check out my Just Giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/page/sally-radford-1719222780127?utm_source=IG

The distractions will be eliminated when one practices fixing the mind purposefully on one object. Sutra 1.32

Thank you to Sarah Hatcher for a challenging and inspiring weekend. We worked hard, studied with full attention, and ate great dosas together!

Sharing these weekends with the community at is always such a joy.

Don't stop...keep showing up, put in the work, be curious about what you might experience along the path. Find a community that will support you and accept you as you are. Build a consistent practice. You'll be amazed by the possibilities that might present themselves.

This is kapotasana from this morning's practice. Lots of work to do (engaging my glutes and hamstrings, hands to heels, forearms down, elbows in...), but it's helpful for me to see where I am. Jake assisting with a smile as always, Ruchi capturing the moment from her mat.

Having a consistent Ashtanga practice has changed my life in so many ways. Mostly, it's made me a better person for my family and friends to be around. Resilient, grounded, consistent.

Thank you to for holding this space and putting up with my overthinking and procrastination. I'm looking forward to assisting Jake at Monday evening Mysore from 13th May, come along and find out how this practice can work for you!

Gateway to Mysore begins this Tuesday, 6pm to 7pm at Clementhorpe Community Centre, South Bank, York.

An introduction to Ashtanga yoga and the tradition of self-practice. Starting with sun salutations, you'll learn a rounded sequence of postures to practice at home as well as in Mysore-style classes. Developing the habit of regular mindful movement is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Come and join us.

Book via / through the link in my stories.

New beginnings...

Each year, this Hellebore brings colour and promises of spring to my front doorstep. The small, creamy-coloured buds that emerge in the greyest of winter days open as delicate yet defiant blooms, their petals flushed pink by the still-cold winds of February. As the days lengthen, the flowers mature and turn wine-red before curling back into the foliage and sleeping through until the next winter.

This plant holds special significance for me. I bought it more than ten years ago when things were difficult for me for a whole stack of reasons. I brought it home then immediately regretted it when I realised that I had little money left and a plant that I couldn't even eat. It seemed like the most stupid, pointless decision I'd made, and I cried out of frustration at my own lack of basic life skills.

Over the weeks that followed, this little plant reminded me that our lives are not defined by our mistakes and that beauty and hope can rise from fear and pain. Each year since then, I've looked forward to these flowers emerging so that I can reflect on the distance I've travelled since my 'bad' decision. Perhaps I'd go so far as to say this was one of the best investments I've made for the joy and learning that it has brought me for over a decade and which it continues to offer.

Why am I sharing this? Well, my yoga practice allows me similar insights on a daily basis. I dedicate time and energy without the expectation that it will 'feed' or otherwise reward me in the short term, but over time the repeated process of planting the seed, emerging from the earth of sleep and directing awareness to the potential that is waiting within to blossom with the rising sun has taught me that there is hope and joy to be found in every morning.

It can be difficult to change our perspectives or to build a new habit, so Ashtanga Yoga York will be running classes for those new to Ashtanga (or to yoga altogether) from 20th February. I'm delighted to be teaching Gateway to Mysore and will be sharing details about how to join in the coming days. Message if you want to chat or find out more.

Last day in Kefàlonia...back home tomorrow, teaching pranayama and hatha on Tuesday evening in York and Ashtanga foundations at .tribe.studios in Pocklington on Friday morning. Message me for details.

I'll also be back practising with Jake and the wonderful community at as I'll always be a student first.

My happy face after teaching Ashtanga Foundations at the very beautiful .tribe.studios this morning. Sharing what I've learned from five years of practice brings me so much joy...hearing that students are noticing positive changes on and off the mat is just the best.

This practice is demanding yet generous at the same time, asking us to challenge our self-limiting beliefs in order to progress physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Ekham, inhale, stretch the arms up.
This is how every Ashtanga practice begins. The first breath, the first movement.

This moment has felt exciting, joyful, energising, but also at times a struggle, frustrating, or even boring. What I've kept doing is showing up and observing my mental chatter without letting it take over. By surrendering my thoughts and feelings I get out of my own way. This has given me the opportunity to see who I am and, more importantly, who I can become.

Chatting after class on Friday one of my Ashtanga Foundations students .tribe.studios asked whether I went on autopilot during my own practice, following the same sequence. I tried to explain the feeling of freedom that comes from consistency and commitment. Hopefully this post will expand a little further.

The main takeaway is that I never regret beginning. Ekham, inhale, stretch the arms up.

Hope you like the Yorkshire version of a fancy beach pose...the Humber Bridge looking spectacular in the sunshine.

How's January going?
I'm looking forward to seeing my fellow Ashtangis at this week after what seems like a very long time. A regular practice brings balance, strength, awareness, and moments of stillness to our busy lives...all being applied here in bakasana!
If you're interested in beginning your own yoga journey, you can join me on Tuesday evenings here in York for pranayama (breathwork) and an all-levels yoga class. Message me for details.
