Have you ever wondered what seasonal yoga actually is?

Seasonal Yoga is a practice that supports and nourishes our body throughout the year. It's a practice that helps us align with changing energies in Nature and acknowledges that we are not meant to be the same all year round. We are cyclical, seasonal beings designed to live on harmony with Nature's rhythms. It’s about honouring that we, too, are part of nature’s cycles.

Each season brings a different energy, and in seasonal yoga our practice shifts to support that. Through yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, and the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Seasonal Yoga helps to nourish and ground us as we move through change — physically, emotionally and energetically.
In TCM, autumn is linked to the Metal element and the Lungs and Large Intestine meridians — the organs of breath, boundaries and release. Just as trees let go of their leaves, we’re invited to gently let go of what we no longer need and create space for renewal.

This is what I love most about Seasonal Yoga — it meets you where you are, offering tools to find steadiness through the shifting seasons of both nature and life.

As a qualified seasonal and yin yoga and meditation teacher I bring over 25 years of practice as well as my own personal experience of self transformation through yoga. I am passionate about creating welcoming and inclusive spaces where all parts of you are welcome. My classes are a place where you can come home to yourself. Here's where you can practice with me:

In July I couldn’t even walk up the stairs.... today I did my first run in six months! I’m honestly so grateful for my body — for its quiet wisdom and incredible ability to heal. It's taken a lot of patience, rest, and love and still a way to go but today felt like nearly normal. 💛

This journey has been such a reminder that healing isn’t linear — it’s about listening, trusting, and celebrating every small step forward. Thank you to the friends and teachers and healers who’ve supported me along the way — you know who you are. 🌸

And a wee exciting announcement....as many of you know I've been putting the finishing touches on our 'Wee Yoga Cabin' in the garden...and after conquering some major tech fears I've finally taken the first steps towards creating an online library of seasonal yoga practices, meditations and pranayama (breathwork) to help you feel balanced throughout the Winter...calling it the 'Winter Wellness Bundle'. ❄️

It’s a cosy collection of yoga, meditation, and breathwork videos filmed from my little yoga cabin — all designed to help you stay grounded, nourished, and balanced through the winter months.

So grateful to all the amazing students who've been coming along to class and asking me to record these videos...you've been such an inspiration!

It's been such a joy recording these (and honestly feeling a little proud of myself as a self proclaimed tech phobe....just opening the box to the microphone felt like a big deal!!)

I can’t wait to share more soon! Until then, here’s to honouring our bodies, slowing down, and finding warmth in movement and stillness. 🤍

If you'd like to join me in person on the mat, here's where you can practice with me next week:

Pregnancy Yoga
📅Tuesdays 6.15pm North Berwick

Mum & Baby Yoga
📅Thursdays 11am North Berwick

Autumn’s practices focus on:
🍁 Strengthening and opening through the chest and upper body to support the lungs
🌬 Deep, mindful breathing to steady the nervous system
🧘‍♀️ Slow, reflective movement to help us soften and ground as energy turns inward
🪷Meditation to help steady the mind cultivating compassion and mindfulness

✨ “When we let go of what we think should be, we create space for what simply is.” ✨

Autumn is the season of softening — a gentle invitation to let go so we can let be. 🍂

So often when life feels busy, overwhelming or uncertain, our breath is the first thing to leave us. It becomes shallow, tight… almost as if it’s hiding. Our bodies go into protection mode — hearts racing, shoulders tensing, nervous systems on high alert.

And here’s the thing — slowing down, breathing deeper, resting — can actually feel scary. It can feel like dropping our guard. But those tiny micro-moments of safety — one slow exhale, one pause, one breath — begin to re-teach the body that it’s okay to soften. That safety can exist here, even in the messiness of everyday life.

As a mum of two neurodivergent little ones, I know this intimately. There are so many moments in my day when I feel my body brace — ready for the chaos, the sensory overload, the emotions that ripple through our home. Some days I can almost feel the cortisol pumping through my veins. And honestly? In those moments, breath and movement are the last things I feel like doing…
But I’ve learned they’re exactly what I need most. 🌬️

That’s why I’m so passionate about creating spaces where you can come exactly as you are. Where every part of you is welcome. Where you can soften into your breath, move with kindness, and find a little stillness amidst the swirl.

🧘‍♀️ Practice with Me:

✨ Pregnancy Yoga
📅Tuesdays 6.15pm

✨ Mum & Baby Yoga —
📅 Thursdays 11am (current block fully booked — next starts 8th Jan, 4 spaces left!)

✨ Seasonal Yoga — Thursdays

Come breathe, move and rest with me — one micro-moment at a time 💛

Do you have any practices that help you find calm in the chaos? I'd love to hear from you!

✨ Pregnancy is one of the most powerful transformations a woman will ever go through — physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s a season of huge change… and it was never meant to be walked alone. ✨

Yes, the hospital bag matters.
Yes, the baby supplies are important.
But what about the village? 🫶
Pregnancy yoga isn’t just about gentle movement (though we love that too!) — it’s about creating a space where you can breathe, connect with your changing body, calm your mind, and build strength for labour and life after birth.
It’s also about finding your tribe. A circle of other mums who get it — the excitement, the nerves, the joy, the tears. Because motherhood thrives in community. 💛

In my pre and postnatal classes:
🤍 You don’t need to be flexible.
🤍 You don’t need to have done yoga before.
🤍 Every part of you is welcome — tired, glowing, emotional, strong.

We move, we breathe, we rest, we share. It’s a moment in the week just for you.

Pregnancy Yoga
📅Tuesdays, 6.15 pm
📍North Berwick Community Centre.
*4 classes left of term

Mum & Baby Yoga
📅Thursdays 11 am
📍North Berwick Community Centre.

*Our Mum & Baby Autumn Block is now fully booked. Next block starts Thursday 8th January — priority booking now open!

Come as you are. Leave feeling held, supported and part of something bigger. 🫶

✨ Why I love being part of East Lothian Birth and Baby ✨

Because we’re not just a group of professionals — we’re a community. 💛

Being a new parent was never meant to be tackled alone. We are social creatures, designed to live in tribes, to support each other, and to share the load. You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It takes a village to raise a child.”

But if you’ve ever found yourself, like I did, in the depths of struggle as a new mum thinking… “Well, where IS that village?” — that’s exactly where East Lothian Birth and Baby comes in.

We’re a collective of pre and postnatal experts, here with one shared mission: to support you and your little one through this beautifully messy journey called parenthood. From pregnancy yoga and mum & baby yoga, to baby first aid, pelvic floor care, and more — we’ve got your back 💕

🌟 Our next special event is all about supporting new parents:

Your Baby, Your Village - Baby Event

🧘‍♀️ Mum & Baby Yoga (with me!)
⛑ Baby First Aid
✨ Hypopressive Workshop

Come and find your village — we can’t wait to welcome you in. 💛

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” — Ramana Maharshi

I’m feeling very full of gratitude after spending this past week amongst the beautiful Pyrenees mountains. 🏔️✨ I’ve always felt at home in the hills — something about their stillness and strength helps me find my own.

To be honest, this trip was a lifeline. I was running on empty. Parenting, health challenges, the daily juggle of work and life… my nervous system felt stretched to its limit. Stepping away from the busyness — from phones, tech, responsibilities — gave me space to breathe again.
We hiked through forests, swam in lakes, rested, ate nourishing food, talked for hours and sat in silence. I reconnected with my own practice, recentered and felt my energy slowly return.

I know holidays like this are a gift — they’re not everyday life. But what I can bring home are the lessons. 🍂

This autumn I’m committing to:
✨ Daily moments of stillness & meditation
🌿 Time in nature, even in small doses
🛏️ Rest (and then more rest)
🌸 Doing less and listening in more deeply to my intuition

In classes this month as well as preparing the body for the cooler months, we will be weaving in yogic philosophy into our practice and exploring contentment and happiness from an Eastern and Western perspective. Expect immune boosting breathwork, seasonal yoga and Qi Gong to balance the meridians of the Lungs and Large Intestine. We will also be exploring some beautiful meditation practices like RAIN and self compassion to support the mind as we move into the Yin phase of the year. Oooo already so excited to share this beautiful season with you all!!

Here's where you can practice with me:
