Wild Tide Yoga, Cockenzie, Cockenzie (2026)

05/02/2026

This time last year I was getting sick about every few weeks. Nothing major. A cold here, a viral infection there...I kept telling myself I was fine but was tired ALL time time, running on empty. Looking back my body was giving me signs that something wasn't right.

Fast forward 6 months and my body no longer whispered at me but instead moved to great big shouts. I hit a huge health crisis and was suddenly unable to move or do anything for nearly 7 weeks. MRI and CT scans were part of my 40th Birthday and I was sleeping most of the day.

Why am I sharing this? Well I know I'm not the only person who has reached this point. A point of total burnout. A place of complete nervous system shut down. A great big shouty wake-up call.

I was working nearly full time, studying full time, learning to run a business and raising my beautifully neurodiverse little family. My body told me it could no longer do it all at this pace. I had to stop everything and start from the ground up.

Learning to slow down, soften, and live in alignment with the seasons changed everything for me. It's been a slow and steady process and still on the path to full recovery...but here's what I've learned along the way.

We’re not meant to be in constant “go mode.”

We’re seasonal, cyclical beings — just like Nature. There are times to bloom, times to harvest, times to rest, and times to turn inward. Seasonal yoga gently supports your body and energy through those natural rhythms, helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself.

If you’re craving more balance, deep rest, or simply space to breathe… this is your invitation. My classes are safe, inclusive spaces where all parts of you are welcome and where you will be met where you are.
Whether you're a yoga teacher, a working parent, recovering from illness or injury or just curious...you are so welcome!

✨ Weekly Seasonal Yoga Classes ✨

🧘‍♀️ Thursdays 6pm — Longniddry Parish Church
🧘‍♀️ 8.10pm (50 mins) — Abbey Church, North Berwick

Come as you are. No flexibility required just a willingness to slow down and listen.
I’d love to welcome you to your mat and back to yourself 🤍

Why Practice Yoga in Pregnancy?

Pregnancy yoga isn’t just about stretching (although your hips will thank you 😉).
For me, it’s about holding women through one of the most powerful, vulnerable, life-changing transitions there is.

On a physical level, pregnancy yoga supports strength, mobility, posture and breath — easing common aches, preparing the body for birth, and helping you feel more at home in you
But it goes so much deeper than that.

Emotionally and energetically, this is space to slow down, soften, and be with yourself.
To regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and build trust in your body and your baby.
Through breath, movement and stillness, we create moments of connection — bonding with your baby in utero, listening inward, and nurturing that quiet inner knowing.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting women from pregnancy into early motherhood because when mothers are held, supported and nourished… the ripple effect touches everyone.
Strong, supported mothers help create calmer babies, more resilient families, and ultimately a more compassionate world. We all begin with a mother — and they deserve so much care 💫

Hello February 🤍✨

I wonder if anyone else has noticed the quiet promise of Spring on the horizon? Some brave little snowdrops pushing their way up out of the cold earth.

February still carries the deep, quiet wisdom of Winter but there is a shift in the air as Nature begins to look ahead to new growth, to rising energy and more light. In TCM this season is ruled by the Water element and the Kidney & Bladder meridians – our storehouse of vitality, resilience and inner strength. Seasonal yoga is such a beautiful way to balance the body at this time of year.

Through gentle, grounding movement, breathwork and stillness, we support the nervous system, warm the body from within and honour winter’s invitation to slow down and listen. This is yoga that works with nature, not against it – helping you feel more balanced, supported and in tune, on and off the mat.

If you’re drawn to practising in a way that aligns with the rhythms of nature and supports both body and mind, I'd love to welcome you to my classes and events this season. Here’s where you can practise with me this season 🌿

A very emotional and proud wee moment this week! Here with my wonderful teacher, friend and mentor graduating as a 500-hour yoga teacher.

When I first signed up for my teacher training all those years ago, I honestly had no intention of teaching yoga. It was never about a career or a plan. It was about deepening my own practice, learning more about myself, finding some steadiness in a season that felt full and tender and a bit wild.

And then… somewhere around month 9 of the training, something shifted.
I’d experienced such a powerful transformation through the training — physically, emotionally, spiritually — that I felt this very clear knowing: I had to share this. Teaching wasn’t something I was choosing anymore. It felt like it was choosing me.

Fast forward to now, and I’m standing here as a 500-hour teacher feeling completely blessed to be walking this path. While I still feel very much at the beginning of my journey, I’m humbled every single week by the students who walk into class, and endlessly grateful for the incredible teachers and mentors I continue to learn from.
It honestly is the biggest privelage to do this work, meeting so many wonderful human beings and witnessing the transformation that yoga can have on their life.

So what’s next?

Well… I’ve promised my husband I’ll hold off on any more training for now (there’s still sooo much to learn though 😅). My focus is on serving my beautiful yoga community through my weekly classes and monthly retreats. And while it might not look like much on paper, there’s some really special things quietly unfolding behind the scenes — including a long-term dream I’m keeping close to my heart. It’ll emerge when the time is right 🌊

Thank you for being part of this journey — whether you’ve practiced with me once, every week, or you’re quietly watching from the sidelines. I see you, and I’m so grateful.

Here’s where you can practice with me this week 🤍

Community in pregnancy and early motherhood isn’t a “nice extra” — it’s essential 💛

This week in class there was a moment that stopped me in my tracks. One mum quietly knelt down to help another mum tie her shoelaces. Such a small, ordinary act… and yet it almost made me cry. In that moment, everything I believe in was right there in front of me.
Mums supporting mums. No judgement. No fuss. Just care, presence, and kindness.

Pregnancy and early motherhood can feel vulnerable, overwhelming, and at times isolating. Having a space where you’re seen, supported, and held by other women going through the same season makes all the difference. That shoelace moment was exactly what this work is all about — creating community and a support network where no one has to do it alone.

And my heart is so full seeing our mums now lingering after class, gathering in the kitchen at the community centre. The laughter, the chats, the sharing of stories while I’m packing up my mat… it’s pure magic ✨ That’s where friendships form, confidence grows, and real support begins.

If you’re pregnant or navigating life with your baby and craving connection, you are so welcome to join our supportive and nurturing community.

What a beautiful morning sharing my love of all things core and pelvic floor with someone who is equally passionate about Women's health. ❤️

It was such a joy and privelage to have in class sharing her knowledge and expertise on pelvic floor and core postnatally. Abby has a huge wealth of knowledge and experience working with women post natally.

After Abby's session we went on to share a yoga practice for mums exploring how our pelvic floor and core are all connected. We shared a vagus nerve exercise for stimulating our parasympathetic nervous system and also included a more energising flow for increasing dopamine and boosting mood.

Our baby sequence today was all about fingers and toes...our little ones are all becoming so curious about their own bodies and many of them are beginning to roll over and touch their toes. We shared some lovely songs and rhymes all about fingers and toes before settling the babies with a beautiful meridian massage using some lovely points on the heart meridian.

Once the babies were all relaxed after their massage, we had a short and sweet guided relaxation for mums.

Today I felt like the luckiest yoga teacher in the world to share this hour with these incredible mums and their beautiful babies.

We have a few more weeks left of this fully booked block, and our next block starts on 26th Feb

Mum and Baby Yoga - 5 week block

Pregnancy is one of the most powerful and life altering transformations a woman goes through in her life.

Growing a baby is powerful, beautiful… and sometimes a little overwhelming.

Our Pregnancy yoga classes offer a space for you to embrace your pregnancy journey. A place where you can come as you are, to slow down, breathe, and feel held and supported as you navigate this transformative time of your life. 🤍

From easing those niggly aches to building strength for birth and beyond, pregnancy yoga supports your changing body every step of the way. We’ll explore ways to relax and strengthen your pelvic floor, soothe the nervous system, boost your mood and and create space to truly connect with your baby.

What I love most about these classes is the sense of community. The chats before class, the shared smiles, and the reminder that you don’t have to do this on your own — it really does take a village, and you are so welcome here.

It's honestly the biggest privelage to do this work and to hold space for women navigating this transformative chapter in their lives.

Can't wait to welcome you to class. Please feel free to share with any pregnant women in your life ❤️

🌿 Finding Your Rhythm After Christmas?

As we move out of the festive period and into the beginning of a new year, how are you feeling? Are you craving routine, longing to feel more balanced, or simply ready to carve out time for you again?

My Seasonal Yoga classes are designed to bring you back into balance and to align your body and mind with the changing energies in Nature.

Seasonal Yoga is a beautifully holistic practice that weaves together the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with yoga, breathwork and mindful movement.

Our bodies aren’t meant to be “on” all the time. We’re cyclical, seasonal beings — just like nature. As the trees rest and the earth turns inwards, we’re invited to do the same… to pause, restore, and listen. 🌙🌿

That’s exactly what Seasonal Yoga is all about — moving in harmony with the changing energies of the year so your body and mind can gently come back into balance.

In class we weave together:
• 🌾 Yoga postures tailored to the season
• 🌬️ Nourishing breathwork
• 🌀 Qi Gong for energy and flow
• 🧘‍♀️ Meditation and deep rest

No need to be “good” at yoga. No need to be bendy. No fancy leggings required. Come exactly as you are. You’ll be supported to move at a pace that feels right for your body. 💛

January is the perfect time to begin — a fresh start, softer energy, and a beautiful invitation to reconnect with who you really are.
✨ Beginners warmly welcome
✨ This class is all about you
📍 Classes start back Thursday 8th Jan

🕕 6pm – Cockenzie House
🕗 8pm – Abbey Church, North Berwick
