July Reflection ~ a little late, but deeply felt 💛

July was full of milestones, shifts, and quiet growth.

We celebrated Girik turning 14 (how?!), and our 15th anniversary in beautiful Wales — gentle reminders to slow down and appreciate the moments before they slip away.

On a personal note, I’ve been moving through perimenopause, especially persistent headaches, and decided to come off HRT. I’m leaning into Ayurvedic nourishment, rituals, and listening more closely to my body. If you’ve found natural ways that help, I’d love to hear.

So grateful for my mother-in-law - her presence has been such a blessing. Support can come in quiet, grounding ways, and I feel it deeply.

Amidst work and life, my self-practice continues to anchor me.

One of the most fulfilling decisions I made last month was changing the format of my yoga sessions. The energy it’s brought into our space is incredible. I’m so grateful for my committed students — we’ve started exploring the 8 limbs of yoga, and each session has become a rich exchange of wisdom, reflection, and lived experience.
Every week feels deeper, more engaging, and honestly, more human. The ancient philosophy feels so relevant in our modern lives.
Oh I’ve completed 2 chapters of yoga sutras - Samadhi pada and Sadhana pada, and two to go.

So yes, July — you were tender and transformative.
Stepping into August with softness and gratitude. 💫

Eating with your hands isn’t just tradition — it’s a sacred act.
Each finger represents one of the five elements:
Thumb – Fire
Index – Air
Middle – Space
Ring – Earth
Little – Water
When they come together to hold food, they awaken Agni 🔥 (digestive fire) even before the first bite, igniting digestion and grounding the senses.
This is how food becomes prana. 🌿
It’s not just a meal — it’s an offering to the body, mind, and soul.
🌿 Grounded in nature. Nourished by wisdom.

This journey of yoga keeps giving…
Today, my dear student and friend Michelle Ingham gifted me the most thoughtful word art.
It’s in these moments I’m reminded that yoga is not just movement or breath—it’s connection. It’s friendship.
I’m deeply grateful for the bonds this path continues to nurture. Thanks Michelle 💛🙏

Living Yoga Beyond the Mat 🌿🕊️

The past few months have felt like more than just a busy chapter — they’ve been deeply spiritual in their own quiet, powerful way.

I’ve been moving through this season with intention — showing up for others, deepening my learning, creating, holding space… and somewhere along the way, I realised: this is yoga too.

✨ Dharma — Living in alignment with purpose.
From teaching yoga to guiding menopause awareness, everything I’ve done lately has felt deeply rooted in something bigger than me.

🤍 Seva — Selfless service.
Supporting friends, sharing our home, creating community, having sharing circles — these moments have been full of love and presence. And it’s reminded me that true giving expands the soul.

📿 Sadhana — Spiritual practice.
I’ve been diving into the Yoga Sutras — especially Sādhana Pāda and Samādhi Pāda — and each lesson feels like a mirror, reflecting back the essence of this path.

🌸 Sangha — Community.
In every yoga session, there’s been laughter, tears, hugs, and healing. The bonds we’ve built feel like sacred threads. A reminder that growth happens in connection.

🔥 Tapas — The inner fire.
Whether it was organising events, creating content. I’ve felt a quiet discipline rising within, even while navigating personal challenges like ongoing headaches and the emotional waves of perimenopause. These experiences have only deepened my empathy, resilience, and understanding.
And more than anything — I’ve been reminded to trust the process, trust the timing, and honour the flow.

This has been a season of living yoga — not just practicing it. Grateful for the unfolding. Excited for what’s to come.

✨ Here’s to presence, purpose, and soul-led living.

International Yoga Day!

What a day. My heart is so full.

Yesterday, I had the absolute joy of leading a yoga event in the beautiful Valley Gardens to celebrate International Yoga Day — and honestly, it still feels unreal. The energy felt so open, kind, connected.

The session flowed beautifully, with a few unexpected twists (hello, surprise weather - rain!🌧️😄), but the way everyone came together with such good spirits made it even more special. Within minutes, we were back on our mats, sharing a practice that felt grounding, joyful, and deeply human.

It was my first ever outdoor yoga event — one I organised from start to finish — and I’m still glowing from it ✨ From booking the space, reaching out to local radio and newspapers, advertising it, to designing my own banner and business cards, to figuring out the mic (and getting used to hearing my own voice out loud 😄)… every part of it felt exciting and real.
Thank you to my friends, family for their support and my incredible yoga community for the love, and encouragement.

Standing there with my speaker, mat, and mic, I had a little rock star moment. But more than anything, it felt aligned. Like, yes — this is where I’m meant to be.

I dreamed of this last year. I did it. And I’m proud.
Thank you to everyone who made it what it was — I’ll carry this one with me for a long time.
Here’s to growing, dreaming, and celebrating again next year 💛

Sometimes the quietest sessions create the loudest shifts.
Today’s yin yoga practice wasn’t just about slowing down… it became a space to feel, reflect, release, and reconnect.

We shared words, we shared silence — and in between, we found something real.
That’s the beauty of yoga. Not performance, but presence. Not perfection, but compassion.

On this International Yoga Day, I’m reminded again:
Yoga is the journey inward.
To breath.
To emotion.
To self-love.

Take a moment today to check in with yourself and simply say:
✨ I love myself. I am enough. I am exactly where I need to be.
