🧘‍♀️✨ Online Yoga From the Comfort of Your Own Home ✨🧘‍♀️

With the snow falling this feels like the perfect time to stay warm, stay in, and come home to yourself.

My longstanding online yoga class offers a deeply nourishing practice you can enjoy without leaving the house. No icy roads, no rushing, no parking issues, just you, your mat, and the gentle support of a guided practice from your own space.

This is a drop-in class, so there’s no need to commit weekly. Come when it feels right for you. Recordings are available too for you to do in your own time!

Tuesdays | 6.30–8pm (UK time)
Each class includes:
✨️Embodied centering & grounding practice.
✨️Asana. Mindful movement to build strength, develop flexibility, and restore the body-mind.
✨️Pranayama. Breath practices to regulate and rebalance the nervous system
✨️Meditation & relaxation. Deep rest to integrate and renew.

I bring over 20 years experience as a yoga teacher and practitioner, holding space in a way that is inclusive, intuitive, and deeply embodied. My classes are less about “doing it right” and more about listening inward, honouring where you are, and allowing the practice to meet you there.

If you’ve been longing for a practice that feels both gentle and profound, we'd love to welcome you to the class. We're a very friendly class.

🍂 Walking with the Ancestors

This Samhain, I walked with the ancestors through the Welsh hills, this ancient, magical, mythical land that has held ceremony and sanctuary for thousands of years.

As I walked, I held those who came before in my heart. Red kites circled overhead, buzzards called across the valley, and the hills were alive with the colours of release, russet, yellow, gold, and ember, nature’s very own altar to transformation.

Later, as the veils between worlds thinned, I sat in candlelight for a Dumb Supper, a silent meal of remembrance, gratitude, and communion. It was lovely to eat in silence, so often, I notice how I fill that space with conversation, background noise or other distraction. It was a blessing to be so present and aware of the tastes, sensations, and feelings moving through as I ate.

By nightfall, we gathered for a fire ceremony, held in the presence of the elementals, Earth, Air, Fire, Water and the unseen ones who walk beside us. We offered to the flames old habits, fears, beliefs, and ways of being. We watched them dissolve into light, making space for the new seeds we planted for the Celtic New Year ahead.

Owl’s (plural) song echoed through the trees. It seemed so fitting to the evening,given that the owl represents intuition, protection, and a connection to the spiritual world. Owls can see in the dark, through the veil of illusion and into hidden truth, making them powerful allies, especially at times when we need clarity and direction.
It is said that owls bring spirit messages to help us on our life journey. They encourage us to discover the unknown and the deeper mysteries of life to bring about change in our lives.

The gentle wind caressed the fire, carrying our prayers skyward, while the waxing moon illuminated the night. The land itself held us, the stones, the stream, the quiet heartbeat of the valley, all whispering: “Let go. Transform. Begin again.”

We are reminded that endings are not loss but transformation. That the same flame that burns away the old also lights the path forward.

May you be held in the w

🍂 Samhain: The Sacred Turning

Samhain blessings, dear ones 🌕✨
The Celtic New Year , Samhain (pronounced sow-en) marks one of the most magical thresholds in the wheel of the year.

A celebration of life, death, and renewal 🌿
The final harvest.
The descent into the fertile darkness of winter.
A time to give thanks, release the old, and make peace with change.

Known as the thin time, the veil between worlds softens, our ancestors draw near, whispering through candlelight and wind. Those who came before us live on in our gestures, our laughter, our dreams.

Samhain invites us to rest, reflect, and renew to let go of what’s complete and make space for what’s becoming.

🌑 Simple Samhain Ritual

🕯️ Light a candle for your ancestors and whisper their names with gratitude.

🔥 Write down what you’re ready to release, old patterns, fears, beliefs or stories. Burn the paper safely, and as the smoke rises, imagine it transforming back to light.

🌱 Mix the ashes with soil and plant a bulb or seed for the new year ahead, letting the old nourish the new.

🌬️ Sit in stillness. Feel the turning of the Earth, the beauty in endings, and the promise in beginnings.

May this turning bring renewal to your body, peace to your heart, and faith in the unseen path unfolding beneath your feet.

Happy Samhain and Happy New Year.

✨️️When the Energies Feel Intense✨️

If you’ve been feeling emotional, restless, confused or unusually tired lately, trust me, you’re not alone. Many of us sensitive souls are feeling an energetic intensity right now, a deep collective clearing that’s stirring the body, the heart, and the field we share.

As frequency rises, the nervous system starts to reorganise. Old patterns surface to be released, and emotions we thought we’d “dealt with” can reappear, asking for our presence.

Here’s what can help:

🌿 Ground into the body.
Gentle movement, deep breathing, and time outdoors. Bare feet on the ground if you can to earth you. The Earth, our mother, holds and regulates us when our systems feel flooded.

💧 Hydrate & simplify.
Energy work is cellular work; water supports detoxification and flow. Reduce caffeine, screen time, noise, alcohol and sugar where you can. Nourish the body with simple, natural foods and rest often.

🔥 Feel, don’t fight. Be present with raw sensation. Try where possible, not to suppress, distract or overide. I know this isn't always easy, but the more we allow ourselves to really feel, the more we tranmute and the more we heal individually and collectively. Even just a minute of honest presence is enough. Breathe, soften, trust. Let emotion, become energy in motion. Let it move through, this is how the nervous system resets and how purification happens.

💫 Rest and receive.
Periods of acceleration are always followed by integration. Trust your body’s need for quiet, sleep, stillness or solitude during this sacred recalibration.

🕊️ Remember: What feels like chaos is often reorganisation. Old timelines collapse so that greater coherence can emerge.

The Living Temple, this body, this being, is recalibrating to hold more light, more love, more joy. Be gentle with yourself and with others as we navigate these times; we’re all in this together, adjusting to new frequencies of presence and truth as we walk each other home.

🔥 Sweating our Prayers – The Sacred Inipi Sweat Lodge🔥

Today,we gathered, cleansed, and purified,returning to the ancient ways.

One by one, we dropped to our hands and knees, equal, raw, and real, humbly entering this ancient, transformational womb of the Earth. In the lodge, all identities melt away. Healing comes through humility, through communion, through love. 🌏.

We entered "for all our relations", for the ancestors who walked before us, the generations yet to come, for the waters, the trees, the winged and the four-legged, for everyone and everything.

Inside, darkness wrapped us like an embrace.The hot rocks, the grandmothers, were carried in with reverence, glowing red, alive with the memory of sun and fire.

We listened to the wisdom of the stones, the whispers in the steam, the voice of Spirit in the breath upon our backs. Every word spoken, every song sung became an offering, each bead of sweat a prayer returning to the soil. When water met stone, steam rose, carrying our prayers into the unseen.🌀

The Inipi is one of humanity’s oldest ceremonies practised for thousands of years across cultures as a way to cleanse, renew, and reconnect. It’s not simply a ritual of endurance, but one of surrender, a deep letting go, a purification of body, mind, and spirit. The heat opens us up to what has been closed. The sweat releases what no longer serves, and prayers lift what is too heavy to carry alone.🕊

The work done within the lodge is not just personal, it is planetary. Each breath, each tear, each song becomes medicine that ripples outward through the web of life. As we cleanse the inner field, the outer world shifts; as we soften, the collective heart opens.

We emerged reborn into cool air, skin tingling, eyes bright, hearts wide open. We left offerings for the land, bowed to the stones, and carried with us a quiet knowing: That transformation is not a single moment, but a way of life, a continual releasing and returning, breath by breath.

🌑 The Dark Night — and the Light That Follows 🌕

There are seasons when everything feels like it’s falling apart. A lot of us seem to be experiencing shifts right now, and it can feel overwhelming. You might find that the things that used to give you meaning don’t anymore, your energy disappears, and you can’t seem to “fix” yourself no matter how hard you try or how many tools, trainings, techniques you have at your disposal.

It can feel like you’ve failed, but what if nothing is wrong? What if you could see this as a necessary part of your unfolding? What if you're doing your bit for planetary evolution?

In many traditions, this phase is called the dark night of the soul. It's a time when the old self dissolves, so something truer can emerge. It’s a process: your inner scaffolding breaking down because it can no longer hold the light and truth you’re growing into.

If you’re here now, as many of us are:
✨ You’re not broken. You're realigning to the truth.
✨ You haven’t lost your path. You're being redirected.
✨ The emptiness isn’t absence; it’s the fertile ground where the new self will root.

During the dark night:
Rest more than you think you should.

Let tears and confusion come without analysing them. Drop the stories. Just feel.

Nourish yourself in waysxthatcwork for you, a hot bath, reading a book wrapped in a snuggly blanket, a connection with a friend, a walk, a warm meal, a song.

Remember that the dark doesn’t destroy the light; it reveals it.

This time will pass. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, something inside you will begin to soften, expand, and open again. You’ll notice a quiet strength, a gentler compassion, a sense that you no longer have to fight yourself.

And that’s when you’ll realise: the dark night wasn’t the end of your story. It was the beginning of your becoming. 🌙

With love,
Kirsty 💛

How I resonate with this...living passionately from the heart, driven by purpose & the love & pleasure of what I do, however simple, is the way I find happiness & contentment in life. Anytime I feel "off" it serves as a good indicator that I'm out of alignment with who I really am.

I'm happier, more creative, connected and alive when I'm flowing with life rather than against it; when I remember to embrace the gifts of this life; this body, my vehicle through life; this mind, my navigator; this body-mind creating the opportunity to experience every moment, some challenging others peaceful but all opportunities to learn, discover, explore our truth.

I find I'm at my best when I embrace simplicity... moving my body- yoga, dance, walking; expressing myself- conversationally, writing, the way I dress myself & my home; connections with others sharing honest conversations; time in nature; feeling my feet on the earth; creating food (preferably to share with others); reading; learning new things....

How great would it be if we could all do at least one thing today that we love to do; bless life with ourselves and ourselves with life?

Wishing everyone a magnificent day!

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Steve Jobs

The speech Charlie Chaplin gave on his 70th birthday.

As I Began to Love Myself

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.

Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY.”

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody. As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me.

Today I call it “RESPECT.”

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.

Today I call it “Maturity,”

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.

Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE.”

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.

Today I call it “SIMPLICITY.”

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health— food, people, things, situations, and everything the drew me down and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.

Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF,”

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since I was wrong less of the time.

Today I discovered that is “MODESTY.”

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening.

Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT,”

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.

Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART.”

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.

Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

How wealthy would you like to be?

When you choose to create the right circumstances to gradually let go of acquired toxicity and what is no longer needed in the body- mind whilst continually supply the natural raw ingredients that are essential for optimal physical, mental and emotional health, magic happens and true authentic wealth is a real possibility.

As the body- mind releases what it no longer needs, acquires what it truly needs, healing and optimal functionality will follow creating an optimal internal and external environment that supports you in being the healthiest and happiest you can be and to truly thrive in life.
