🪷 RISE…

A Transformational Retreat for Women

Sri Lanka • April 12–22, 2026
Jim’s Farm Villas – My 5th Retreat at this Beautiful Sanctuary

“You didn’t come this far to stay where you are.”

✨ The Invitation

RISE isn’t just another yoga retreat.
It’s a call.

A call to the woman who feels the quiet pull of change…
who has given so much of herself over the years…
and is finally ready to step forward, soften, rediscover, and rise.

This 10-night journey in the heart of Sri Lanka is for women who crave adventure but want the safety of sisterhood.
Who long to reconnect with themselves.
Who want to travel solo, without ever feeling alone.

If you’ve been whispering to yourself, “What’s next?”

This… is it.

🌙 Gentle Opening for Tonight’s Yin Class.

Rewell Fitness Studios

7.15 pm to 8.30 pm
All Levels welcome
Members and non members 🙏

Over these past days, our nervous systems have been working overtime.
The ongoing tremors and earthquakes naturally create a sense of uncertainty in the body,
a tightening, a bracing, a subtle vigilance that many of us may not even be conscious of.

So tonight, in our Yin practice,
we’re going to come back to something steady…
something grounding…
something that’s always here for us.

The breath.

No matter what is happening around us,
your breath is a place you can return to a place of safety, softness, and presence.

Tonight, we’ll use the breath as an anchor.
A way to remind the body that in this moment, right here,
you are supported.
You are held.
You are safe.

Each long exhale will be an invitation for your nervous system to soften.
Each pause in stillness will let your body unwind.
And each shape will give you space to listen deeply to what your body needs right now.

Let this practice be a sanctuary
a place to exhale the tension you’ve been carrying,
and a place to rest your heart,
your breath,
your nervous system.

Let’s begin by arriving together…
with one slow inhale…
and one long, grounding exhale.

“Maybe the next chapter is about seeing all of the seeds you’ve planted flourish beyond your wildest imagination.” — Sara Christiansen Jeffs

Lately this quote has been sitting with me in such a deep way. For years I’ve poured my heart into my work, teaching, learning, guiding, creating retreats, holding space, and saying yes to so many moments that shaped me. So many of these seeds were planted quietly… sometimes without me even realizing how much they would one day grow.

This season of my life feels like watching a garden finally come into bloom.

After 25+ years in the yoga world, a lifetime of reinvention, raising a son who is now stepping into his own path, living through moves across continents, and trusting the universe even when I couldn’t see the full picture I’m realizing that nothing was ever wasted. Every chapter prepared me for the next.

My word for 2025 is Flow, and for the first time I feel myself truly living it. ( 11 months later ) Not forcing. Not pushing. Not doubting. Just allowing.

I can feel the seeds I planted years ago, the retreats, the relationships, the courage to start again, the willingness to grow, the moments I chose integrity over convenience, the ones where I kept going even when no one was watching, finally blossoming in front of me.

This chapter feels like alignment.
It feels like trust.
It feels like coming home to myself.

So if you’re in a season where it feels like nothing is happening… keep tending to your garden. Keep planting. Keep showing up. One day, often when you least expect it, you’ll look around and realise your life has quietly flourished into something far beyond what you once imagined.

And you’ll know every seed mattered. 🌱✨

💫 Let’s Talk About the Hips 💫

Today’s class was all about the hips, that beautiful, complex area of the body where we hold so much more than tension from sitting or movement.

Our hips are often called the emotional junk drawer, a place where unprocessed feelings, stress, and even past experiences can linger. In yoga, hip-opening poses can sometimes bring unexpected emotions to the surface, release, laughter, tears and that’s completely natural. When we soften into these postures, we create space not only in the body, but in the mind and heart too.

🌿 The benefits of hip opening:

✨ Increases mobility and flexibility in the lower body
✨ Improves posture and relieves lower back pain
✨ Boosts circulation and supports the lymphatic system
✨ Helps release emotional tension promoting a sense of ease and freedom

💡 Fun facts:

The hip joint is one of the largest and most stable joints in the body designed to carry our weight through life’s movements.

We have over 20 muscles surrounding the hips, all working together to keep us balanced and moving smoothly.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the hips are linked to the sacral chakra, the center of creativity, pleasure, and flow.

So next time you find yourself in pigeon pose or malasana, take a deep breath. You might just be releasing more than tight muscles you’re making space for new energy, creativity, and lightness to flow through you.

🧘‍♀️ How did your hips feel after class today? Lighter? Freer? More grounded?

“The deeper I root, the higher I rise.” 🌿

Yoga continually reminds me that growth begins from the ground up. When I anchor into the earth through breath, body, and presence I create the space to rise with lightness and grace.
It’s the dance of life itself… what goes down must come up. Root to rise.

Three months ago, I decided to challenge myself and signed up for the Aspire Channel Swim.

As many of you know or maybe didn’t know I thought I was signing up to swim 44 kilometres. Little did I realise it was actually 77 kilometres… there and back to France!

I set myself a goal to complete the swim by early September, but life had other plans. I travelled overseas for three weeks and have spent the past month catching up, swimming whenever I could.

My fundraising target was £500 for charity and thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve reached £1,450! 💙
So I’m wondering… is there anyone out there who’d like to help round it up to £1,500? Let’s do this together, it’s for an amazing spinal cord charity.

Turning 52 in September, I wanted to set myself a challenge to push my boundaries but this journey has become so much more than that. It’s been deeply healing for my mental health and wellbeing. The ocean has become my yoga mat my space to escape, meditate, and simply be.

This challenge has given me far more than I could have imagined. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s supported me along the way those who donated generously, and those who gave whatever they could. Every single contribution has meant the world.

A huge thank you to my little swim club too, and to everyone who’s cheered me on throughout.

Today was the perfect ending swimming around Geronisos Island on a beautiful November morning, in the stillness and beauty of the Mediterranean. It felt like the perfect full circle moment.
What a gift.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
