“Stillness is not stagnation. It is where new life begins.”

Today is the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year and the quiet turning point of the season.

In seasonal yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is peak Yin. Everything slows. Energy moves inward. Rest becomes essential rather than optional.

I always feel this time of year to be a bit of a paradox...its when our bodies and minds are supposed to be slowing and yes our society seems to demand more of us than at any other time of year. I love this reminder at midwinter that nothing is wrong when things feel quiet or heavy. Seeds grow in the dark. Roots deepen underground. Nature isn’t rushing — and neither are we meant to be.

The word solstice comes from Latin and means the sun stands still. A pause. A moment to breathe. A chance to soften rather than push.

For me, honouring this time looks very simple — earlier nights, hot baths, less doing, more listening. Lighting a candle. Daily meditation. Yin over Ashtanga. Letting myself rest without needing to justify it. Trusting that even when it feels like nothing is happening, something is quietly rearranging itself beneath the surface.

If this season feels tender or slow for you, you’re not behind. You’re right on time.
Go gently today.
Rest deeply.
The light will return — it always does.
Much love ✨

If you'd like to practice with me over the holidays, my Winter Wellness Bundle has over 3 hours of nourishing practices to help you connect in with the energy of the season.

As we tiptoe into the festive season, I’m wondering… how are you really feeling?
✨
Is your to-do list growing faster than the fairy lights are going up?

Feeling the quiet (or not so quiet) weight of expectations, plans, and everything that comes with this time of year?

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, scattered, or pulled in lots of directions, this is your gentle reminder to pause.

I’ve recorded a 5-minute compassion break meditation to help you ground, centre, and soften — a small pocket of calm just for you.

No fixing. No achieving. Just breathing, arriving, and offering yourself a little kindness 🤍
Press play, get comfy, and let this be your moment to reset before the rush. 🎄✨

If you'd like more mini meditations, breath practices or some longer nourishing movement practices...these are all included in my Winter Wellness Bundle.

I'm so excited to announce that our popular pregnancy yoga classes are returning in January and are now available for booking! So touched that so many of you have already booked in already!!

If you're pregnant and considering coming along to try our classes...you can expect a warm welcome and a space to come exactly as you are. No need to be 'good at yoga' or bendy.

Pregnancy yoga isn’t about just stretching or “keeping fit”.

It’s a sanctuary.

A place to land when your body is changing faster than your thoughts.
A place to breathe when everything feels new, tender, or overwhelming.

In class, we move slowly.
We listen.
We soften the nervous system and make space for connection — with yourself, with your baby, and with other women walking this same path.

Every breath is a conversation.
Every pause is permission to slow down.
This is where trust grows.
Where you learn to meet your body with kindness.

Where pregnancy is honoured, not rushed.
You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
You just need a space where you’re held.
If you’re craving rest, connection and community during your pregnancy, you’re so welcome here 🤍

✨ Classes are gentle, supportive and open to all stages of pregnancy.

Our next 5 week block starts Tuesday 6th Jan!

✨️Heart full of gratitude ✨️

Last night was honestly such a joy. Our final mini retreat of 2025 at filled my whole heart — what a privilege it is to share space and practice with such wonderful humans. 💛

I've been running these mini retreats at the Bothy for a while now and each one juat seems to be such a special and sacred gathering of beautiful souls...

We honoured the energy of this moment in the year with a slow, nurturing Seasonal practice, easing into Yin shapes that helped us soften, release, and settle into the body. Everything felt spacious and grounding — the perfect support as we move through these darker winter days.

🌿 We moved gently and intentionally, letting the practice hold us.
🕊️ We explored heart-centred breathwork and took time for quiet reflection.
🌙 And as always, we closed with a dreamy guided Yoga Nidra.

My signature chocolate dipped dates (thank you Janet Baxter for her recipe) went down well along with fresh strawberries and nourishing herbal teas.

These evenings truly are soul food — a chance to step out of the rush, land back in yourself, and be held by community. I’m so grateful to every single one of you who showed up and made it such a special way to close the year. ✨

Fern Bothy is such a beautiful space used by some of the most amazing therapists and practitioner and art work by

How are you feeling as we slip a little further into December?

Do you notice your energy dipping, your body asking for more rest, your mind leaning toward stillness? This is the season of the Water Element — a time for replenishing, softening, and moving with a little more tenderness. In Seasonal Yoga, winter invites us to nourish our kidneys, honour our natural ebb and flow, and choose practices that restore from the inside out.

If you’re craving cosy movement, deep rest, and a warm, welcoming space to land, I’ve got you.

✨ Thursday Evening Classes
6pm — Abbey Church, North Berwick
8pm — Cockenzie House
Gentle, grounding practices designed to support you through winter’s depth.

✨ Yin + Nidra Sunday Sanctuary

A blissful, slow, snuggly morning session at the beautiful Fern Bothy in Longniddry. Think soft stretches, deep rest, and space to breathe again.

Come as you are. Move how your body wants. Let this season hold you.

“You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world throws at you.” — Rumi

I love this quote by Rumi and it has reminded me just how much yoga gives us in times of hardship, or when life throws some big stuff at us.

I'm not going to lie...this week has felt like too much. Not in a dramatic way — just in the slow, heavy, “I actually don’t know how I’m meant to keep doing this” way.

High-octane parenting two little neurodivergent souls has stretched every corner of my nervous system. The constant regulating, the deep patience, the emotional firefighting, the hypervigilance trying to keep everyone safe and regulated… it’s a kind of love that takes everything. And lately, I’ve felt like I simply don’t have anything left to give.

Then my car was stolen — containing all my yoga equipment...and then the news that it won't be covered by our insurance policy.

And yet… this is where practice becomes something real. This is where I remember why I get on my mat each day. It's not to become more flexible or have a more toned physique but rather its so that I can meet life from a place of presence, and react skillfully with the challenges life throws. I've been leaning into the yogic philosophy that has held me through some of the most challenging moments of my life this last year.

Wherever you are this week — tender, overwhelmed, hopeful, or somehow all three — may your practice meet you right there. Mine certainly had to. It held me in the mess. It steadied me when I felt cracked open. It reminded me that being human isn’t something to fix or overcome — it’s something to meet with presence.

Yoga doesn’t ask us to be perfect. It asks us to return. Again and again. On the mat, off the mat, in the thick of life's challenges and especially on those days where you think you can't keep this up.

Yoga invites us to draw deep into our inner wisdom, to trust and surrender to the unfolding process of life, to meet yourself and others with compassion...💕

✨️Whats on this festive season at Wild Tide Yoga

This time of year can feel like such a paradox — a season that’s naturally asking us to soften, slow and turn inward, while the world around us ramps up the pace with endless lists, plans, pressures and expectations. It’s no wonder our nervous systems get a little frazzled. Has anyone else noticed this?

As we move into the deep quiet of Winter, seasonally yoga invites us to shift our practice shifts to align with the slowing down and drawing inwards of Nature. This is the season of the Water element, a time for conserving energy, listening inwards and tending to the parts of ourselves that need rest. In Chinese medicine, Water relates to the Kidney and Bladder meridians, which support our reserves, resilience and sense of inner steadiness.

Our winter yoga becomes slower and more spacious, a gentle invitation to pause and replenish our reserves. Here's where you can practice with me this Winter:

✨ “We are cyclical beings living in a world that forgets to rest.” — Mimi Kuo-Deemer

As we move deeper into the colder darker part of the year, our bodies and minds feel that shift — even if we don’t always realise it. The world around us is slowing down, turning inward, preparing to shed and release. It’s getting darker, colder and our bodies crave deep rest. Yet our modern “always-on” culture asks us to keep going at full speed, all year round — and that’s where imbalance, fatigue, stress, and anxiety can creep in.

Seasonal Yoga invites us to return to our natural rhythm 🌿. It’s a practice designed to bring our energy into harmony with the changing seasons — through movement, breath and mindfulness. In Winter, we focus on supporting the Kidneys and Bladder — the organs of the Water Element — through yoga postures, Qi Gong-inspired movement, and breathwork that strengthen the immune system and clear stagnant energy.

For me personally, Seasonal Yoga has been a profound teacher. I used to really struggle with the shift from Summer and would often forget to listen in to my body's deep innate wisdom as it asked for more rest. It took a health scare and a long period of recovery for my body to really get its message across, and now I find so much joy in embracing the change of seasons. It’s helped me find ease in transition, soften resistance, and stay balanced when everything around (and within) is shifting. I’ve learned that when we align with nature’s rhythms, life flows with a little more grace and a lot less struggle.

If you’d like to explore this beautiful practice and see how Seasonal Yoga can help you feel more grounded and balanced as we move into Winter, I’d love to welcome you to class.

Here's where you can practice with me:

Seasonal Yoga Classes

📅Thursdays 6pm
📍Abbey Church, North Berwick

📅 Thursday 8pm
📍Cockenzie House

In each class, we’ll explore movement to harmonise body and mind, breathwork (pranayama) to balance the nervous system, and meditation practices to bring clarity and calm.
