Wild Tide Yoga, Cockenzie, Cockenzie (2026)

09/03/2026

This time of year always feels so special, almost intimate...as Nature begins to slowly awaken from her deep Winter slumber.

We are beginning the transition from Winter to Spring, from deepest Yin to rising Yang. I always feel this is one of the most pivotal transformations for us to adjust to and it's always interesting to notice how we feel about this shift.

For example are you leaping into action and ready for the Spring...or are you feeling that deep need for more rest? Perhaps youve been burning the candle at both ends over Winter and not quite ready to embrace the rising energy of Spring...

I'm so excited to share these next few weeks of transitioning to Spring with you all in class.

Classes this week will focus on preparing the body for Spring and we'll be using a beautiful practice called the Body Clock Sequence.

The Body Clock in TCM & Seasonal Yoga
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body follows a 24-hour energetic cycle known as the organ clock. Each organ system has a two-hour window when its energy, or qi, is at its peak.

From a seasonal yoga perspective, this rhythm reminds us that the body is always moving through cycles — just like nature. Certain times of day support different qualities: cleansing, digesting, resting, dreaming, and restoring.

Practicing yoga, breathwork, or rest in harmony with these rhythms can help support the organs, regulate energy, and create a deeper sense of balance between the body and the natural world.

Feeling the call to live more in alignment with Nature’s rhythms?

Looking for a practice that supports both your physical and mental health but also the health of your organs and circadian rhythms?

My classes are a beautiful blend of Yoga, Qi Gong, Breathwork and Meditation designed specially to balance the organs of each season and bring harmony and alignment to your body and mind.

Classes are welcoming and inclusive spaces where all parts of you are welcome. Beginner friendly and relaxed.

Our Kidneys - The Battery of our Body ✨️

It might seem funny to hear Kidneys being discussed in a yoga class..but you'll hear me talking about them a LOT...and in Traditional Chinese Medicine they are a BIG deal ✨

In TCM, the Kidneys are your “battery pack.” They store your deepest energy – the fuel for growth, fertility, strong bones, clear thinking and steady willpower. In Winter, this energy naturally dips. Nature slows down… and we’re meant to as well.
But modern life doesn’t always make it easy for us to embrace this seasonal rhythm.❄️

When we push through Winter without rest, our Kidney energy can feel drained. That might show up as low energy, feeling chilly, stiff lower back, or just a sense of running on empty.

This is where seasonal yoga comes in.

While we are preparing soon for the transition towards Spring, we are still in Winter and classes are focusing on the Kidney and Bladder meridians, inviting warmth, strength and resilience from the inside out.

My classes over these next pivotal few weeks will focus on replenishing our Kidney energy, dropping into our deep wisdom and intuition....so that we can rise up to meet Spring with a sense of groundedness and vitality. Like a little seed reaching up from the soil towards the sun!

If you’d love to explore how seasonal yoga can support your overall vitality and health especially as we prepare for the transition from Winter to Spring, I’d love to welcome you to class. Here's where you can practice with me:

What is Seasonal Yoga?✨️

Seasonal yoga is a gentle reminder that we are cyclical beings. Just like nature, we move through phases of growth, fullness, release and rest. When we begin to honour that rhythm in our practice, something softens. We stop pushing. We start listening.

Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, seasonal yoga works with the meridian system — the subtle energy pathways that relate to different organs, emotions and elements throughout the year. Each season invites us to support particular meridians through mindful movement, breathwork, meditation and rest.

In spring we nourish the Liver and Gallbladder meridians with flowing, expansive shapes.
In summer we open the Heart and Small Intestine meridians, cultivating joy and connection.
Late summer grounds and centres us through the Spleen and Stomach.
Autumn turns us inward, supporting the Lung and Large Intestine as we let go.
Winter invites deep restoration, honouring the Kidney and Bladder — our roots, our reserves, our nervous system.

Working this way can be profoundly regulating for the nervous system. Instead of overriding our natural dips in energy, we meet them with compassion. Instead of forcing productivity in darker months, we build resilience through rest. It helps us feel steady, supported and more in tune with ourselves.

I am so passionate about this approach because I see how transformative it is. When we practise in rhythm with the seasons, we begin to trust our bodies again. We remember that slowing down is not weakness. It’s wisdom.

Once a year I hold a special free evening for anyone curious to experience this beautiful practice.

✨ Free Seasonal Yoga Taster

I'm so excited about our pregnancy event with OT McAlpine in May. Please share with any expectant mums in your life. ❤️

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 🌿
