Whilst people practise cat/cow, I often see big movement through the neck but little movement through the spine. When you're next in a yoga class, think about moving from the base of the spine first!

This is even worth trying for those of you that are in and out of yoga classes all the time! It's open a shape we move through very quickly without much thought. The question is, can you start your cat/cow from the pelvis?

Sometimes, we need to think about the exit plan over the grand entrance.

We spent a lot of time getting into poses but there's not always enough time and attention on the how to exit. Yogic squat (or squat pose or malasana) is a great example of this! A lot of people look at me like I'm crazy when I demonstrate this pose. However, they warm to the idea a little more when we discuss how to exit the pose into a really familiar shape that we practise time and time again like tabletop!

Regardless of how often you've practised this pose, the next time you're there, give this exit a try and let me know what you think!

I love a simple yoga sequence! Something that you can rely on regardless of how you're feeling. It can be the entire practice or a great place to start 😍

I can't believe I'm posting this right now. How is it December?! Here is the schedule for December for all my classes online, in-person around Northampton and through the

There's not going to be a set theme for this month as everyone gets really, really busy. Instead, I'll be checking in with you all to see how the collective energy is before we commence with our yoga practice. That way our practice can adapt to what you need.

I'll see you on the mat in December! 🎄🧘🏻‍♂️💙

I’m quite confident saying that we have just come to the end of one of my favourite months of teaching yoga in 2025. It has been an absolute joy sharing Inner Architecture in my classes... Hit the link to keep reading my latest blog post!

This month, we explored Inner Architecture together — alignment, strength, and those “strong edges” that shaped our practice. From movement drills and sun salutations to breaking down extended side angle, peaceful warrior, and wide-legged forward fold, each week built on the last. It showed ho...

I don't know about you but each moment of busy needs to be balanced with a little bit of quiet. I've learnt that after plenty of years of go, go, go.

This whole teaching yoga thing is an absolute joy. I have so much fun sharing these classes. This shift into alignment and strength has been refreshing. Just so you know, right now, there are only three spaces left for Find Your Yoga Practice on Wednesday.

So, after a busy week, I know when it's the right time put my feet up. How's my weekend looking? A couple of gym sessions, movies and a whole lot of time doing as little as possible. How is your weekend looking? Anyone seeing Wicked: For Good? 💖💚

Another great week of Inner Architecture (our November yoga theme) 😍 This week we took the time to deconstruct and explore a wide legged forward fold, which felt absolutely brilliant following all our preparation. It's been een a minute since I've managed to walk my hands back in line with my feet and let my head rest on the ground. 💪🏻 Thanks, everyone 💙🧘🏼‍♂️

I recently had someone new joining my in-person yoga class and this was a highlight of our post yoga chat. They said just how positive this suggestion was for someone who found staying still quite challenging.

I've included this in my movement/asana based classes for quite some time. It took me a little whilst longer to find the time to edit my master Yoga Nidra script but now I have I'm honestly over the moon about it. When I first shared the edited script, it feel like something just clicked into place.

Summary of this: when you're practising, if movement brings you comfort then embed that within your practice. I don't want you to feel frozen in those moments of stillness because you might just be tensing up and holding your breath. Wiggling of your fingers/toes or swaying your head doesn't impact anyone else in the room but it might just help you relax.

Thoughts? I'd love to hear them. 🧘🏼‍♂️💙
