This week, life delivered a gentle, and slightly humbling … reality check.

It appears my downward-facing tree and handstand era may be wrapping up before it ever had the chance to fully begin. I’ve always loved the feeling of being upside down, that playful challenge, the spark of possibility, the aliveness that rises when the world flips and you realise you’re capable of more than you expected.

I still remember the first time I attempted this pose 12 years ago during my teacher training. I was nervous, shaky, unsure, and also … without knowing it … completely ready.

It taught me something about bravery, about showing up even when we doubt ourselves, about trusting the body before the mind catches up.

Fast-forward to now … one routine optometrist check, a referral to an ophthalmologist, and the news that I have glaucoma, with deep cupping around the optic nerve and tightening of the blood vessels in my eyes.

Suddenly being upside down is no longer simply playful … it’s simply not a good idea.

And so, I adapt.

Because when one door closes, there’s always another way to rise, soften, expand or invert.

If I look from a different lense (literally), a handstand is simply the same shape as legs up the wall, or lying on the floor in the letter L… or legs over a bolster …

A different pathway, the same sensation of surrender, restoration and perspective shift … without compromising this precious body I get the privilege of living in every day.

This isn’t defeat. It’s devotion.
It’s listening more deeply.
It’s honouring the vessel that carries me through this life.

Movement isn’t only about what we can do … it’s also about how lovingly we evolve when things change. And I will continue to move, to teach, to explore, adapting as I go, grateful always for the gift of a body that speaks… and for the wisdom in choosing to listen.

Legs up the wall is now my inversion.
And it feels like enough.
Perhaps even perfect.

Today’s Barre class made me smile from the inside out.

It’s a “yes” to be part of passion project

Saying yes to Flock 50 feels like lighting a new spark inside myself...

… not to become someone new, but to remember who I’ve always been…

My WHY …

Because turning 50 a couple of years ago felt like a line in the sand. I’d spent time telling myself it had to mean something big... a reinvention, a reckoning, a moment to get serious.

I felt that same whisper at 40, but back then, my body took the lead and forced me into change through illness. This time, I’m choosing differently.

I said yes because I want to show up fully... to not shrink, to not hide, to not feel invisible. I’ve still got so much to give.

Flock 50 feels like a sacred mirror, a space to meet me with intention, courage, and connection.

Roaming Zen is my soul work … a space for movement, mindfulness and meaningful connection. I’m deeply passionate about helping women reconnect to themselves through dance, yoga, pilates, breath, and presence. And now, I’m reconnecting to me.

I’m excited for the sunny day that Grier and I will have creating …

This one is extra special.

A cosy 30-minute Yin Week 5 – Growth & Expansion practice…
complete with one very dedicated assistant who clearly thinks he is the star of ZenFlix.

Scout supervised every moment of filming, from settling me into Deer Pose to making sure the bolsters were perfectly placed. And honestly?
His energy was exactly what this practice is about:
soft, grounded, present, and so full of heart.

We move slowly through the side body and hips, creating the kind of spaciousness that feels like spring rising from the inside out.
A beautiful little reset when you only have half an hour.

✨ “I grow with grace.”

Dropping tonight on ZenFlix and YouTube. Perfect to lean into the weekend!

From my home… and Scout’s supervision… to yours. 🌱💛🐾
