YOGA AT WORK | This was a very lovely start to Tuesday this week... ✨

I guided an 8am mindful breath workshop for at Chancery Place in Manchester - the sunrise over the city really brought the magic!

We spent some time talking about what pranayama really is, and how powerful the breath can be in balancing the nervous system, before easing into some gentle movement and then sitting for half an hour of breathing practices and meditation. The perfect way to start the day feeling grounded and focused.

Huge thank you to and for having me 🙏 I’m excited to be back with them in January, leading an after work restorative yoga practice for one of their next networking events.

💚 If you’d love something like this for your workplace or networking group, pop over to my website for more info.

🧘🏻 Working one-to-one with Caryn over the last five months has been such a joy. I’ve known her for 5 years now through , where she’s a studio artist, and someone who brings a lot of joy to the workshops. Earlier this year she had a bad fall, which led to a hip operation, and she came to me for support as she began her recovery journey.

We work entirely through a gentle, chair-based practice rooted in Special Yoga approaches (I trained with ) - focusing on rehabilitation, rebuilding confidence, and improving strength, mobility and flexibility. We also explore body awareness through breath and sound, and support her nervous system to find more balance and ease.

And honestly? We chat and laugh a lot! Caryn’s humour and big heart make every session bright, and it’s been wonderful to witness her progress. In the words of , you should be very proud of yourself Caryn! That blanket at the end is much deserved 😊

If you know someone who might benefit from these specialised, supportive practices, I’d love to help. Get in touch. 🙏✨

Last night was such a joy ✨

Thank you to Women in Tech North for inviting me to speak, and for being the most friendly, welcoming group to share my story with.

The theme of the night was ‘Going It Alone’, so it felt really special to talk about setting up this year - the challenges, the lessons, the balancing act, the joy - and how it’s all leading to the big leap into being a full-time yogi from January.

I shared how I’ll be leaving in January, after nearly six amazing years. It’s been such a hugely rewarding part of my career, and a really tough decision because I genuinely love my time there - but it’s also exciting to be focusing my energy fully on Rooted Soul Yoga next year and everything it’s becoming.

A huge thank you to my legend of a sis, Kate, who has helped run Women in Tech for the last eight years and is now stepping down to focus on her own amazing new venture - she’s recently qualified as a celebrant and is absolutely smashing it already 💛 Follow her

If you work in tech in Manchester, I honestly can’t recommend Women in Tech North enough - brilliant events, brilliant people, and a genuinely uplifting space to connect.

🪷 Feeling grateful to have shared this piece of the Rooted Soul Yoga journey with you such a warm group of people 🙏🏼

💚 Joy, movement and plenty of smiles every Friday in my Chair Yoga sessions 🪑

I started leading these chair yoga sessions last month for a wonderful group of residents at Fiona Gardens in Sale, and it’s become a real highlight of my week! There’s laughter, calm, connection - and always a great energy in the room - and not just from my leggings!

Huge thanks to the brilliant for funding these sessions and making them possible.

At the moment my fellow yogis are all residents at Fiona Gardens, but if you or someone you know would like to join us, every Friday 2-3pm, then please do give me a shout 🧘

💚 My friend and fellow yogi, Amber , lives with autism and dyspraxia - a coordination disorder that can make movement and balance more challenging.

When we first started one-to-one yoga sessions last year, she wasn’t sure yoga was for her...

18 months on, she practises most days, is a regular in my Hatha classes at , and her confidence shines through every pose. Tonight Amber tried dolphin pose (check the pics!) for the first time and nailed it!

Amber says:

“My yoga experience over the past year has been really positive and I never knew how much I would love it before I started doing it every day. Yoga has helped me gain lots of confidence, sleep better, become more flexible and better at balancing, improved my posture and lets me relax and focus on me.

I would like to say a big thanks to you Debs as without you I wouldn’t love yoga and be where I am today with it, so thank you. I also thank my mum Pam and brother Ben who have been really supportive throughout my yoga journey and have noticed a massive difference in how it’s benefiting me. Thanks so much once again Debs.”

Amber, I’m so proud of your commitment to yoga! And so grateful to share this journey with you 🧘🏻

A brilliant reminder of yoga’s quiet power to connect, steady and transform 🙏🏼💚

✨ Special Yoga Update ✨
Yoga, tea, inspiration… and a bit of doga 🐾🧘‍♀️

On Wednesdays I roll out the mat with the wonderful Sally Hirst - an amazing artist (and herbal tea connoisseur). Sally lives with Autism and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), so together we’ve created a yoga practice that’s all mat-based, deeply grounding, and calming for her often-busy mind.

We start by connecting with the breath, then move through strengthening postures, soothing breathwork, grounding massage, meditation and deep relaxation. And sometimes her lovely dog George pads in for a few minutes of ‘doga’ too 🐶🧘‍♀️

Sally says:

“I look forward to yoga with Debs because I like the 1:1 me time. She helps me to pause and to relax for a bit. The poses we work on make me feel so good and free in my body. Debs chooses me a nice herbal tea to have afterwards too.”

This week Sally is in the spotlight 🌟 - launching her first solo art exhibition, ‘Warped’ at the British Textile Biennial! It’s at Helmshore Mill in Lancashire from 2 October until 2 November - huge congratulations Sally!
