☀️ First Summer Pop-Up = DONE ✅

We kicked things off this morning with a strong (but beginner-friendly) Full Moon Yoga session in Craig-y-Don Park 🌕🧘🏼🌳

Two (mostly) chilled cockerpoos joined us too — so obviously I took a dog-selfie or two 🐶📸

These donation-based pop-up sessions aren’t always yoga — they’re a mix of the things I use in my own practice, like:

💪 Strength training
😮‍💨 Breathwork
🧘 Mindfulness & meditation
🤣 Laughter
🌿 Gentle movement & rest

They’re all beginner-friendly. 🌈

Dog-friendly too. Especially if your dog’s a cockerpoo. 😉

📲 Fancy joining next time?Pop yourself in the admin-only WhatsApp group for 24–72 hours’ notice:

Bring a mat, bring a mate, maybe even your dog. Let’s keep moving — when the mood strikes! 😎

🧘🏼 Yoga
💪🏼 Strength
😆 Laughter
😮‍💨 Breathwork
🧠 Mindfulness Meditation
😴 Rest

These sessions will always be:

🕊️ “How you treat yourself is how you treat everyone else.” ✌🏼

Sounds lovely — until your microphone dies halfway through a live yoga class… on that exact theme. 😝

That happened to me this week. Halfway through teaching about our internal voice, the universe decided to mute me permanently. The recording?

Silent. 🤫
Gone. ❌

I had two choices:
1. Call myself a du***ss 🫏
2. Practise what I teach — and talk to myself like I would to a friend 🫶🏼

I took a breath and chose option 2. 🙌🏼

Eventually. 😂

So if you missed the first class — you’re not alone. 🫣

But the second one (mic fully functional) is now in the members’ video vault. 🙌🏼

It’s full of beginner-friendly movement, heart and throat-opening poses, and 10 yummy minutes of self-massage. 💆🏼‍♀️

Because how we treat ourselves sets the tone for everything else.

Paula ☺️🙏🏼🫏✨

Today I’m at Ysgol Bryn Elian representing and 🙌🏼

As well as talking to young people about running their own businesses, I’m also sharing some of my favourite happiness hacks!

It doesn’t get much simpler than this one…

Just a little snippet from one of our online classes 💛

I do all the nerdy studying so you don’t have to — everything from nervous system resets to yoga for sciatica, hormone stuff, and the general life wobbliness we all go through. It’s science-backed, with the occasional dollop of woo - but always delivered in a very normal, down-to-earth way. 👍🏼

If you fancy some gentle movement without the faff, come and join us. PJs welcome, perfection not required.

✨This week in class we’ve been exploring Dharma — your soul’s purpose, not your job title.

You don’t have to find it. Just peel back what dulls your light. 🌟

And yes, sometimes your purpose looks like this 👇

📷 Me, living my best silly-face-Tropic hydrogel-mask life 😜

My purpose in life is clearly to entertain you! Also: to remind you that life is better when you don’t take yourself too seriously 😘
