The doors are open for Sanctuary 2026 ꩜

I really didn’t know where to begin with showcasing what we did this year - and of course I’m too preoccupied guiding to take photos in our practice sessions….

But I think this encompasses the cornucopia of NOURISHMENT that and I aimed for. Off-grid, organic food, being together or being alone, surrounding in nature literally bathing in the forest at times, and taking every single step EASY.

We’re going for a longer weekend next year - aiming to travel and settle in after work on Thursday and have two full days before grabbing packed lunches and heading home on Sunday afternoon 🤗

Three nights of yoga, sauna, food, and wild experiences in the Swedish forest...

🍂 1-4 October 2026 🍂

“Life is a chaotic, difficult, cornucopia of “holy sh*t what just happened”, and it never won’t be like that”
- Josh Homme

I am in the depths of a cornucopia of letting go. THE DEPTHS.

I’ve not experienced an emotional struggle like this in a long time, if ever. Whilst there are lots of “holy sh*t” moments and drops into “what just happened” through life, that are each disruptive or heartbreaking or scary, I’ve not processed anything like this before.

Grief.

It’s SO consuming 🫠

People always say “sit with it”, so now is the time.

The drama of the season (whether thats in the calendar year or in a day or a lifetime) of letting go and the metal element is often flipped, to realising worth and good that comes from making space for value through transformation, but right now I’m really struggling with that concept.

This letting go is deep. Ending an IVF programme and coming to terms with the loss of motherhood - something I never grew up wanting - feels like I’m carrying a rock around. There is no power in my letting go of that opportunity, there is no realisation of something magnificent at the other side.

I know my worth and have confidence in what I do and who I am, but this process, this destruction, isn’t showing me anything of benefit. Ending the relationship concerned and my setting boundaries did, very clearly. But this part isn’t showing me value, other than what I already know I possess; that I can rely on myself to handle the ride, eventually, and within that there is some clarity.

It isn’t about failure, it’s about wondering, what the new beginning after this release will be. It’s a time of reframing within a larger process, of acknowledgment of learning and knowing that feelings are temporary, of TRULY testing my resilience, and my strength, my will to be with it all.

And not letting the fire of my anger get the better of me 🔥

I guess that is the true essence of metal element really - refinement.

All is transient.

And this, this is the biggest transformational test of all 💎

I’m on a full-day of grief counselling today. TBH I’m impatient bc I wanted more energy to spend on my upcoming birthday bash, not another emotional rollercoaster…

✨WONDERFUL HUMANS - I need your help✨

The time has come for Sarah and I to launch Sanctuary 2026, our magical forest retreat…. Now in its FOURTH year!

People have talked about arrival being on a Thursday evening, for settling in and dinner and fire ceremony, then we have two full days of forest joy, before heading home on the Sunday after lunch 🤗

SO LET ME KNOW - does this sound good….?

Usually, we arrive on a Friday afternoon.

⬇️ Post yes or no in the comments and I’ll see what I can work out! ⬇️

I’m still landing after this weekend in Sweden…

This photo sums it up. Although it doesn’t show the amazing food and the fire and the gorgeous spaces we created and the challenging but fun balloon game and sunrise snacks with the peacock and the cows and the forest bathing and the singing and music in the kitchen and the many happy sleepy heads, etc etc…

I’ll put something together eventually.

In the meantime enjoy my 🐒 impression….

Bookings for next year open soon.

My Story

I’m an English yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage therapist, now living in beautiful Copenhagen... The first time I practiced yoga was in 2003, after suffering a back injury and being unable to continue with martial arts – practices I loved because of the mix of physical and philosophical aspects. For a few years I simply used yoga asana as part of a rehabilitiation process, opening up my body, regaining mobility, building strength and learning how to move fluidly again. And then eventually I became engrossed in other aspects of the Eight Limb path – my classes now incorporating mindful movement, breathwork and meditation, with encouragement on how to take various aspects into busy daily lives.

The classes I teach follow creative sequences, unusual patterns, focusing on breath and movement between shapes, incorporating Ashtanga asanas, resting in poses, to notice and feel, and improve mobility and strength. I build in Yin stretching at points, restorative positions for closing relaxation, as well as opportunities for mudra and meditation, with appropriate readings. This all leads nicely into AYM therapies, which is about softening the body and the breath through passive movement and massage, to find deeper relaxation.
