Sunday climbing in Texas Canyon, CA. 🧗‍♀️

Climbing outside in new places is one of my favourite things. It feels like such an adventure. Getting up early, packing your bag, a lunch, and getting to explore a new place you probably wouldn’t go to otherwise. Getting home late feeling tired but content.

Climbing is a lot like Yoga to me, it’s about a mind body connection, it’s about trust and at times it’s a challenge. A lot of climbing is a mental game, it’s a practice of understanding my limits, overcoming my fears and finding the joy in movement. Each time is different, just like on the mat.

Getting comfortable being back outside and excited to continue to explore. 🌅

As we move into the new year it’s an amazing time to look at where you direct your time and energy. ⚡️

Are you a people pleaser?
Do you often compare yourself to others?
Do you let yourself get distracted easily?
Are you always rushing around eager to get to the next thing?

Asteya, non-stealing is the third Yama and is a great reminder of how we have the power to find contentment, gratitude and integrity on and off the mat.

Always unfurling 🌀

As we come to the end of the year it always feels reflective, a lot has happened, as it does, in a year. There has been destruction and devastation across the world that continues, and everyday it feels like there’s something else, which often feels heavy and hard to grasp. Alongside this there has been beautiful moments, of new life and new energy, of stillness and uncovering, and for me, adventure and a big life change.

Finding the balance, steadiness and ease, strong and soft.

So here’s just a few moments from lately.

As I settle into a work routine and a rhythm my practice gives me the opportunity to quiet the noise. No ‘new year, new me’, just a new year and the same me showing up, discovering and seeing what happens. 🌀

Thank you to everyone who has joined me on the mat this year as well as on my new online studio. I appreciate each and every one of you and your dedication to yourself and the practice. Dunedin friends I miss you all lots and I’m excited to get to know all my new students here in SB! 💛

For me I like to use the new year as a chance to reconnect, not reinvent. ✨

I’ve never been much for new year’s resolutions but I get it, the new year can be a good marker, a moment to notice and observe what you want from the next year, who you want to be going forward. I’s an amazing time to reflect.

The holiday season is busy and my practice looks different during this time. I make time for shorter practices and studio classes, alongside festive celebrations and preparations. This time on my mat guides me into the new year so I can continue to create awareness and clarity.

If anything, spending time on my mat at this time of year feels needed more than ever: work deadlines, family get to togethers, organising everything; it’s busy. By spending time on my mat, I can find some space, stillness, and quiet from the noise.

So as I come into the new year, I reflect on what I might want to let go of and what I might want to welcome in more of, but there is no need for a ‘new me’. Yoga allows for the space to uncover who I am, which isn’t new, it’s always there.

This new year why not reconnect to yourself, rather than reinvent. Take the pressure off and know that just by showing up that is enough, the rest will follow.

Three months of SB and 10 years since I left the Uk. 🌴 🌊 🌅

Before a big life change it always feels like this long build up, anticipation, maybe a bit of anxiety, lots of logistics and a loooot of dreaming. I kinda love that part, the unknown. Diving right in.

In 2015 I left the Uk and moved to Australia. In 2018 I moved from Australia to New Zealand. In 2025 New Zealand to America.

On reflection I’ve always felt this urge to explore and experience new things even from a young age. As soon as I did my first backpacking trip in Europe I knew I wouldn’t stay in the Uk long.

Throughout the years my Yoga practice has grown exponentially, expanded, shifted and in more recent years integrated itself into my life so perfectly. I’ll always remember in 2016 I was living in Melbourne, I was practicing inconsistency at home online. I had an awful day at a job I did not enjoy, I felt stuck. I went to the beach and took a dip in the ocean then went home and instinctively rolled out my mat and began to practice. I didn’t really understand why but I knew it would make me feel better. It did, it shifted something even if I didn’t know it at the time.

It has been a continual source of grounding, a space to come back to again and again in times of uncertainty. During this recent transition it reminds me that it’s a tool we can use in any chapter of our life, it doesn’t have to be a long and complicated practice to make a difference.

Quiet the noise, take a deep breath, return to self, simple.

I’m excited to see what the next three months has to offer.💛
