As I was planting these seedlings in the rain, their root system visually reminded me of our nervous system.

There’s a collective feeling that things are intense at the moment. Our yoga sessions always offer opportunities to nourish our nervous system, but tomorrow’s class will begin with movement so we can then spend more time slowing down. See you there!

Hands up if you are feeling sluggish from an early wake up this morning? Or from a full on week, with that full on moon 🤪

Give your lymphatic system a little love by tapping/saying hello to your lymph nodes. Only takes a few minutes. So if you ever see me mimicking movements of a gorilla, you know what I’m up to 😂

Reminder there is no yoga tomorrow.

The most delicious slice!

I have linked the recipe below in the comments - it’s a goody by .cripps and was thoroughly enjoyed by all at our yoga class the other week.

I halved the recipe, used walnuts and cashews + dried dates (soaked) for the base. Enjoy!!

Happy New Year!

Our baby boy Teddy arrived beginning of August and I have been soaking up, surrendering to and navigating these early months.

At the moment we are on a wee adventure in the south island, so classes will resume when I return in Feb/March.

My return to the mat has been much sooner this time round and I’m looking forward to facilitating classes again.

I hope these summer days are treating you all well ☀️
