🍂 Autumn, I love! Being in nature isn’t just for the senses, it’s good science too: forests release natural compounds called phytoncides 🌲 which can boost your mood, ease stress, and even support your immune system. I don't care what they're called - they're my new best friends.

When in doubt, go out. That was my motto when boys were little. Now, I can actually focus on it all, every step I take.😍

And if you join us on Monday and Thursday mornings, you’ll know our warm-ups are literally made for long walks—so why not take that energy into the woods or along a leafy path, and let autumn work its magic? 🧡

Who else is noticing the lift in mood after an autumn walk?

🌟 Launched a rocket? Check!
👽 Walked on Mars? Check!
🤖 Chilling with Darth Vader (or at least part of him)? Check!
🌿 Learned about the UK’s most poisonous plants? Check!

All that in just three days?! Impossible, one might say. But as we discovered, the word itself does mean I’m possible! 😉

When planning our family getaways, I dive deep into discovering the unknown and unusual, seeking experiences that ignite all our senses. Forget the typical tourist guides—my kids crave hands-on adventures that mix learning with fun.

If you’re curious about where to catch a rainbow, which places in the UK are tied to iconic films, or where to find the best chocolate shop, then you’re in the right place! 🌈🍫

✨ Join us as we journey from stars to the legendary Sycamore Gap! 🏰

How saved my day...

My plan was simple. I had a few errands around the city, the sun was shining, the day free to do them in peace. I've popped my mobile to charge during our class of awesomeness. By that, I mean all the ladies who make my day every time they come to the mat.💖

The finished and I was on the way. Thirty-seconds on the bus I'm checking Google Maps for my first location and phone's battery goes into red. The charger was not plugged in. I didn't check. It is usually plugged in. I could feel (that's a nice name for rasing rage in me) building up and steam trying to get out of my ears. 😡If my phone wasn't dying I would be fueling that in a long talk about the unfairness of blabla. Instead, I did .💨

What's box breath? Simple version - breathe in, counting to four. Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Slowly exhale for 4 sec. Hold your breath for 4 sec. Repeat as needed.🌬️

Until two weeks ago, I have never heard of the box breath. Then I watched with . And there it was. Breath that firefighters use to prepare for stepping into the fire. Breath that Navy SEALs use to stay calm and improve their concentration in extremely tense situations.💫

Two days after watching Limitless, I was teaching on teacher training and guess what. did pranayama and meditation, and there it was again.🧙

When something show up like that in my life, I know there is a reason. And I pay attention.

In the last few seconds my phone had, I've memorized all the addresses and buses I need to get to them. I found the places I was looking for the old-fashioned way - by talking to people. I met some really lovely humans. Had a couple of laughs. I did all my errands and even some that were not planned. It was an awesome day. ✨

I told my boys of this. My son said - I did the same before my French test today. It really helped. (He likes to watch documentaries with me)🥰

Box breath - this week for sure in all my classes. Well, you could also check how Chris does it. Works either way🤩!

They are one of my favourites today. I feel every part of my body coming alive, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. You can literally feel your body strength support you! Super important for .

Very excited about this! First in person workshop since the pandemic. And in a beautiful . I would love to see you there.😍

Not to brag, but planning loads of fun - exploring flying (Inversions) through connection to core and our legs and feet. Grounding to spread your wings. Literally and figuratively.😎

What has taught me - if I want to gain most out of my practice, I have to immerse myself fully in. With my breath, with my focus, and activating all the parts of my body. Including hands.

We more often than not forget about the hands. They hang in the air when the arms are lifted. We put all the weight onto them when we hold inverted poses.

Especially in inversions, the hands take on the role of our feet. And just like we want our feet to be our safe strong base, we want our hand to support our joints, shoulders, neck.

Don't let your pose stop at the wrist. Feel for building the strength in each of the fingers, throughout the whole hand.

And if you are a visual learner like me - imagine a shining light streaming through your active hands. Every finger, a ray of light.
