✨ New Blog Post: Why the BWY Foundation Course Is Truly Transformational ✨

If you’ve ever felt drawn to explore yoga more deeply - beyond the weekly class, my latest blog post is for you.

I’ve shared my own journey of taking the BWY Foundation Course back in 2003 and how it completely changed the way I understood yoga. It was the moment I realised yoga wasn’t just a practice… it was a way of living.

The Foundation Course is perfect for you if:

⭐️ You’re ready to explore the philosophy behind your practice
⭐️ You want to build confidence and depth in your yoga
⭐️ You’re curious about meditation, pranayama, and the eight limbs
⭐️ You’re considering teacher training or simply want personal growth
⭐️ You’d love to study in a supportive, like-minded community

It’s the bridge between a weekly class and a full Teacher Training Course - but it’s also deeply valuable for anyone yearning for a richer, more meaningful practice.

✨ My next BWY Foundation Course begins February 2026 at Yoga Wise Studio.
If this is calling you, now is a wonderful time to explore what the course offers.

If you’d like more information or an application form, feel free to message me or pop into the studio. I’m always happy to chat about whether the course is right for you.

✧ Nāsya - Nourishment for the Head & Senses

As we move deeper into autumn and early winter, the air becomes colder, drier and windier - a season where Vāta dosha naturally rises.
This can leave us feeling scattered, dry-skinned, congested, or foggy-headed.

One of Ayurveda’s most beautiful daily rituals for this time of year is Nāsya - the gentle application of herbal oil into the nasal passages.
It helps to lubricate and protect the delicate tissues of the sinuses, clear the mind, support the nervous system and enhance mental clarity.

Benefits of Anu Taila Nāsya:
• Moistens and protects the nasal passages
• Clears sinus congestion and eases breathing
• Helps prevent seasonal colds and viruses
• Nourishes the sense organs and improves focus
• Supports calm sleep and steadies Vāta dosha

✨ Just a few drops in each nostril after cleansing or before practice can make a world of difference - especially during these colder months when so many are catching colds.

You can pick up Anu Taila Nasya oil in the Yoga Wise Studio shop — a simple, soothing daily ritual to keep your head, mind and senses nourished and protected.

✧ A Simple Yoga Practice to Honour Samhain ✧

🕯️ A quiet ritual of release and remembrance

As the veil between worlds grows thin, we turn inward, slowing down, breathing deeply, and remembering all that has brought us here.

This simple home practice is a way to honour Samhain’s energy of reflection and renewal.
⠀
1. Ground & Arrive
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and feel the earth beneath you.
Breathe slowly and offer gratitude to your ancestors, teachers and loved ones.

2. Gentle Flow
Move close to the ground:
Cat–Cow
Child’s Pose
Low Lunge (cactus arms and open heart)
Wide-Leg Forward Fold
Malasana (Yogi Squat)
Seated Twist
⠀
3. Stillness
Rest in Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle).
Feel roots grounding you and a soft flame glowing at your heart.

4. Closing Reflection & Candle Ritual
Sit comfortably and light a single candle.
Take a few quiet breaths as you gaze softly into the flame.
Reflect on what you are ready to release and what you wish to carry forward.
When you feel complete, whisper:
“I honour the light within and the wisdom of those who came before me.”

Allow the candle to burn for a few moments as an offering of remembrance and peace.

✨ May your practice this Samhain be an act of remembrance, grounding you in the present, rooted in the past and open to the mystery ahead.

As the year begins to draw to a close, our yoga practice turns inward - from movement to stillness, from striving to sufficiency.

This next six-week term at Yoga Wise Studio will be a peaceful journey themed around:

✨ Return to Stillness — The Practice of Santosha ✨
- a gentle, grounding journey into peace, gratitude, and contentment.

Together we’ll explore how to soften the edges of busyness, slow the breath, and rest in the calm that already lives within.
Each class will weave grounding asana, soothing pranayama, and reflection - guiding you toward a deep inner peace as we move toward the Winter Solstice.

This is a season to slow down, to honour what has supported you this year, and to rediscover the simple joy of being.

“When one is established in contentment, unexcelled happiness is gained.”
Yoga Sūtra II.42

Classes begin November 3rd and run for six weeks

Spaces are limited, so please book early if you’d like to join this term of peaceful practice.

✨ Celebrating 7 Years of Yoga Wise Studio ✨

This week marks seven years since Yoga Wise first opened its doors in Mayland. What began as a dream - a small space to share the teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda, has grown into a thriving community of heart-centred practitioners, teachers and friends.

Over these seven years, we’ve moved, breathed, rested, learned, and evolved together - through life’s seasons, moons, and many chapters. I am endlessly grateful to every one of you who has stepped through the studio door, rolled out a mat, shared a cup of tea, or simply brought your presence and energy into this space.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
Here’s to the next chapter - rooted in wisdom, guided by rhythm, and always returning home to the heart.

With love and gratitude,
Emma x

🍂 Autumn Retreat Day – Saturday 4th October 🍂

This weekend I’ll be holding space for a nourishing day to help us ground, restore, and align with the energy of Autumn.

We’ll move through Yoga and Ayurvedic practices to soothe Vata, share wisdom on daily rhythms and seasonal living, enjoy a beautiful Ayurvedic lunch, and close with a deeply restful Sound Bath with Rozi.

I’ll also be giving you recipes and handouts so you can continue the practices at home.

There are still a few places available — I’d love for you to join us.
