This cute little character joined our class in the yurt last night. They were so delicate and formed a heart shaped trail on the mat! 💖

We explored animal totems on Tuesday in class, one of my students brought a spirit animal deck with them and we had a bit of fun dipping in and weaving our choices into the movement and direction our practice took. I love these moments of spontaneity in class, they are like little gifts from the universe. ✨

The snail symbolizes introspection, protection, and slow, steady progress. Its shell represents the need for boundaries and safe inner spaces for reflection, while its spiral is linked to the journey of life, death, and rebirth, and the concept of evolution or development.
The snail's slow but tenacious movement also encourages patience and resilience, reminding us that consistent effort leads to remarkable journeys.

This was a beautiful reminder for me and I'm holding this little message dearly. 🍄✨

Beneath the forest floor, the mycelium network quietly weaves — a vast web of communication and nourishment. Trees share sugars, warnings, wisdom. Roots listen. Life sustains life.

I often think of this when I feel the subtle threads that connect us — the unseen ways we influence, support, and steady one another.
In transpersonal work, we might call this the field: that shared space of knowing that exists beyond individual selves. A space that I am exploring more through my yoga therapy work and integration psychotherapy studies.

Like mycelium, it’s wordless and mysterious — yet profoundly intelligent.
We don’t have to see the connection for it to be real.
We only have to trust that we are part of something living, responsive, and inherently kind.

So I was delighted to find this beautiful mushroom oracle pack and connect with Morgan at .scotland at the weekend. I had been learning about the fly agaric mushroom and mycelium networks the past weekend, so this find felt really special. The first card I pulled was the Snow Fungus - apt for Samhain and the shifts that have been happening for me as I navigate my path between teacher & therapist.

I'm looking forward to using these cards with clients, they can bring useful insight and contemplation.
I think we might meet them in our yoga rest session this week too! 🍄✨💚

Join me tomorrow evening in the cosiness of the yurt for this opportunity for deep rest and reflection. Expect a little gentle movement to release some of the day's tension, an opportunity to set a full moon intention, and then we'll build our "rest nests" to hold the body in comfort as I invite you on a meditative journey of Yoga Nidra. These monthly sessions are a chance to connect with a deeper part of yourself and allow your mind space to make sense of some of your thoughts and experiences on a transpersonal level.
Come enjoy the magic!
These sessions are open to all and you don't need any prior expereince to enjoy and benefit from the practise of Yoga Nidra. Book in!

Thrilled with my new purchase for the yurt today by Christine from Wild Rose Dried Flowers. So beautiful 🤩
It's time for us to cut back the wildflower meadow as the last of the blooms fade back and the ground has a chance to settle & rest through winter. So I thought it would be nice to keep a little bit of colour around and the smell of lavender is gorgeous too.
Christine has a little workshop in her garden and has been creating some gorgeous wreaths & arrangements filled with love, check her out! ✨💖🌸🪻🌹

The November Full Moon invites you to rest, reflect and let go.
Our next monthly Yoga Nidra at the yurt is on the 5th of November.
It may be a time of light and fireworks for some, but here we will be harnessing the reflective energy of the Mourning moon, remembering and journeying to a deeper part of ourselves. Book in for an opportunity to rest, relfect and re-set in this nourishing space.
I also offer this session online if you'd like to join from the comfort of you own home.

Come as you are — no expectation, no judgement, just kindness.

Hey folks. There is no class this Saturday due to holidays & illness. If you are looking for something to do Saturday afternoon instead I would highly recommend two exhibitions at .

This was just a magical moment at the Wellbeing Social last month. It felt appropriate to post for World Mental Health Day, as for the last 5 years we've brought together a gorgeous community of wellbeing practitioners to share their craft and raise money for SAMH. At this point in the day we'd had to all shelter inside from the rain and it was so joyous to have everyone moving furniture, finding space and coming together, going with the flow and adapting to what nature had decided for us. No fuss, no bother, just an open heart, acceptance & joy. Singing Mamas Edinburgh with Seraph picked this song in the moment, trusting that it would work and it did. What a star ⭐ The acoustics of the house were fab and we definitely felt the wisdom in our bones 💖
Thank you everyone that made the day so special.
We also raised £926 for SAMH ✨
