Pain isn’t proof of progress.

I’ve explored what’s really happening in the body when we push through pain and why my classes do things differently.

Tonight I had one of those rare moments where everything softened and I really saw the room.

People moving slowly, tuned in, choosing what felt right for them. No rush. No performance. Just presence. I felt like a fly on the wall, watching the energy in the room shift from outwardly to inwardly.

I felt a full body, mind “wow”. I have created this moment.

I realised I’ve created what I needed at my lowest of lows a space to honour ourselves and be met exactly where we are, as who we are.

That’s also why I don’t capture these moments. They’re meant to be lived, not observed.

It felt very special indeed - overwhelmingly so.

Thank you for being along for this journey. I feel very blessed by your presence and know without each of you showing up, I wouldn’t have learnt what I have.

Thank you seems so insignificant, I appreciate you.

🙏

As I approach 40, I’ve been thinking a lot about fun, joy, and how easy it is to lose ourselves in the busyness of life. I’ve written a blog about learning to play again, trying new things, and filling my own cup (sometimes for the first time in a long while).

A friend invited me simply to create.

That kind of invitation feels a lot like yoga, no striving, no fixing, just listening and allowing.

Creativity followed.

Sometimes all we need is an invitation and giving ourselves permission to say yes to the possibilities.

This is what happens when we allow ourselves to soften the nervous system with no expectations. Inspired by the work by and

This photo got me thinking about safety in yoga.

Yes, I’m in a Warrior 3 asana … on a gymnastics beam with a modification for my arms.

But what you don’t see at first glance are the crash mats, the support, and the conditions that make this safe for me.

In therapeutic yoga, safety isn’t just physical.
It’s emotional. Nervous-system based. Relational.

A safe yoga space is one where you’re not pushed, corrected without consent, or encouraged to override pain or fatigue.

It’s a space where choice is built in, rest is welcomed, and your experience is respected.

This is what therapeutic yoga creates: a place where the body can soften, the breath can settle, and the nervous system can begin to feel safe again.

Yoga isn’t about performing shapes although some of the asanas can feel very lovely. It’s about creating the conditions for multi-level healing.

My waiting lists are open for Yoga Therapy classes with me, if you’d like more information please get in touch via email.

Last week, a ten minute conversation in a coffee shop changed the tone of my whole day.

A reminder that presence matters and that noticing the world around us can turn ordinary moments into something meaningful.

You can read the full reflection on the blog.

Normal yoga content will resume soon - I promise.

But if you’re in a place of doubt, if you have no New Year’s resolution, no word for the year, know that this is okay.

May I ask, what if you were simply to TRUST?

⭐️ To trust that what is meant for you won’t pass you by.

⭐️ To trust those that allow you to be the truest form of yourself.

⭐️ To trust those who feel like home.

⭐️ To trust that you are exactly where you need to be right now.

Yoga, for me, has always been a place to practise that trust. A space where you do not have to be anything other than who you are. Where you can arrive exactly as you are, and be met with care, compassion, and community.

If you are craving a place to reconnect with yourself, to move gently, breathe deeply, and feel supported, you would be so welcome to join me on the mat.

My open classes are:
- Tuesday 0915
- Tuesdays 1730 - Tidworth Civic Centre
- Wednesday 1900 .uk
- Thursdays 🪑 1415 - Royal British Legion Andover

Monthly Classes
- Friday 1830 - Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra .uk
- Sundays 1630 - Sound Bath Sundays

An afternoon of laughter, courage, and playful boundary pushing. ✨

When women come together no matter the setting powerful things happen, and sometimes that power comes wrapped in joy and silliness.

This year, my intention is simple: more fun (sorry, not sorry). So come along for the ride. 💫

Huge thank you to The Vault Gymnastics for hosting us.

Who fancies coming next time?

In a previous workplace, I was involved in behavioural and cultural change work, supporting teams through shifts that looked good on paper but were much harder in reality.

What became clear to me is that people don’t resist change, they resist change when they’re overwhelmed. That experience has deeply shaped how I think about wellbeing at work, and I’ve written more about how yoga can support sustainable behaviour change in my latest blog.

Have a brilliant weekend.

With love,
