Today people come together to celebrate Easter. 🐣

I find it incredibly difficult to actually say ‘Happy Easter’ right now because if we are taking a moment to truly reflect what that means (the christian version not Ostara) where Jesus was born, what he stood for, and what is happening now - how can we truly say and mean that? 💔

It’s another shallow thing to say when not backed up with actions whilst the true meaning is being buried under the bodies of Palestinians.

Will you sign the petition to urge the UK to tell Israel to stop the death law they copied, pasted, and edited from the Germans in the 1940? Link below. 🖊️

Please act.

We all go through different stages in life and sometimes it can feel as if we are going through the motions on auto-pilot.
If you feel like this a lot, this is a reminder that life is too short for living on auto-pilot and that you deserve more than that. ✨

Need support? I am here to listen to you, give you honest perspective, help you recognising what needs to change and how to do it. I will also hold you accountable (lovingly of course!) which helps you to really do the work that is needed to create lasting and sustainable change.

Talking to loved ones can definitely help, but sometimes talking to a stranger who is a professional is even more freeing and productive. Coaches will listen to you, be honest with you, offer different perspectives, and will not apply a filter which some loved ones might do to not hurt your feelings. ✨

There are life coaching slots available so if you are curious and want to know more about coaching with me, send me a DM or check the link in bio.

This Sunday!

In yin yoga we will be holding poses for a longer period of time, strengthening deep and mostly non-stretchy tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and bones, whilst bringing awareness to our inner wellbeing and divine light.

Why it is called deep dive? I weave meditation, breathing, relaxation, yoga philosophy, and mantra throughout class creating a holistic journey for the body, mind, and spirit. 🕉🥰

✨ 5th of April
✨ The theme is 'Expansion'
✨ Jyoti Centre for Wellbeing and Yoga in Kelty (12 Main Street Kelty KY4 0AA)
✨ 11.00 to 12.30

I can't believe this was 4 years ago! 😲🎉

When I was in my 30s (yes, I am older than I look!), I looked for a counsellor to help me with challenges I was facing at that time. I was quite sceptical about it, but after the 2nd session I saw that her hard questioning helped me see different perspectives and helped me grow and take valuable actions for change.

Years later, I had several people telling me I would be a great counsellor and that made me think. I love listening and helping others with their current situations, stuck-ness, and their future, but I had no desire to dive into someone's past. After researching I arrived at life coaching and that was that. After studying and lots of practicing and feedback, I gained my coaching qualification in 2022. 💪

Touching on the past does happen in life coaching but my focus is to look to the now and future.

✨ Where does change need to happen for you to create the life you want?
✨ Is it realistic?
✨ How can we make it happen?

And I say we, because my job as a life coach is to help you create, face reality, cheer you on, and hold you accountable. Curious and want more info? Send me a message!

Yesterday we gathered to celebrate Navratri. We connected to the divine feminine and to our inner warrior goddess. ✨

Navratri is a sacred 9 day festival dedicated to 9 forms or Durga and celebrates many things including victory over evil. Devotees honour her through prayer, fasting, and rituals asking for protection, blessings, and growth. It aligns beautifully with the spring season - transitioning, renewal, and purification. 🌱

We chanted, we flowed, we ignited inner fire, and the audio in this reel? That’s us too. Spot my cool socks whilst leading kirtan! 🎶

Thank you everyone who joined for adding your unique Self. 🥰 Thank you Lauren .shakti.flow for adding your wisdom and for holding space with me. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with you!🔥✨🕉️

Our next event together isn’t planned yet but we both have lots happening in April. If you’d like to know what’s next give Lauren and me a follow.

On the 11th of April I am holding a 3 hour workshop leaning into the wisdom of the Sun and on the 2nd of May we come together to celebrate Beltane. My newsletter will be send out the 1st of April with everything listed - if you want to receive it send me a dm. 🥰

You NEED to have fun in life. 🙃

🌿 Selecting suitable plants for your garden
🌿 Carry out specialised jobs such as pruning fruit trees, propagation, and planting

🌿 Teaching you how to look after your plants - inside and outside
🌿 Teaching you how to look after your glasshouse

When we talk about warriors often pictures of magnificent strong muscly people in armour holding a sword arise. 💪

In our world though, warriors come in many shapes and forms. From people who listen, who stand up for others, who march in protests, who heal, who hold their own boundaries strongly, people who inspire and encourage others, people who overcome challenges in their own lives through resilience and self-care.

Tomorrow, Lauren (Bhakti Shakti Flow) and Ingrid will guide you through several yoga practices to celebrate and honour the qualities of warrior goddess Durga: wisdom, fearlessness, growth, transformation, empowerment, compassion, fierce protection, and maternal energy. 🕉 ✨ 🔥

Join us tomorrow and connect with YOUR inner warrior energy! If you haven't booked your spot yet, places are available.

Friday - 27th of March
18.30 to 21.00
Kirkcaldy - HAAR - 125 High Street, entrance at Hill street
£30

Looking forward to sharing these powerful practices with you!

See you tomorrow. 🕉️

So often I get asked the question: 'Why did my plant die?'

There are quite a few possible reasons but the most common one is because you did not know the needs of your plant and therefore didn't meet its needs. Plants are like pets, the only difference is they cannot walk away! 🌿🐈

Where would it grow naturally? For example, trying to grow a tropical plant outside in Scotland in winter is not going to work. Growing a plant that LOVES shade in a spot that is super sunny is not going to be the best choice. Growing a plant that needs cool temperatures in a warm greenhouse, not great. Watering a plant that thrives in dry conditions every week is not ok, hello root rot. Growing a tree in a tiny pot is not ok, unless you are growing a bonsai.

My number one tip: Know the needs of your plants. Plants are living beings, if you cannot meet their needs then do not buy it. They deserve a happy life, just like any other pet. 🫶🌷
