My mum. Haven’t heard that voice or seen that smile in 8 years. Also means I haven’t seen the wooden spoon being enthusiastically & menacingly waved around (IYKYK!).

The death of a parent is a weird thing and I still don’t quite know where to put it 💚🙏🏽💚

Love ya Mum x

It really is. If every thought, word and action comes 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ the mind, then cultivating a positive relationship (a friendship even?) with our minds would surely create a greater level of peace and ease to our day to day?

I'm not saying it's easy; breaking habits, recognsing traits, making changes to support ourselves... these things don't come easy. But they won't come at all if we don't make the time and effort.

The new 'Practices to Calm the Mind' class I'm trialling in November has 2 spots left in each... 90 mins of mental offloading at the micro-studio in Abington, NN3 2JL x

✨ New Class: Practices to Calm the Mind ✨
I’m introducing a new class designed to help calm the mind, downregulate the nervous system, and build a toolbox of techniques and strategies to develop resilience for when life feels tougher. The aim is to help you cultivate a calmer, more peaceful day-to-day experience.

Classes will include:
• 💤 Yoga Nidra (yogic deep sleep)
• 🌿 Gentle movement leading into calm and stillness
• 🎧 Guided relaxations and meditations
• 🔕 Short silent meditations
• 🪷 Yin Yoga

Meditation for the Western mind can be a real challenge. We’re constantly inundated with input — for years, even decades — so to expect the mind to “switch off” the moment we sit (cross-legged or otherwise) is, quite honestly, unrealistic. This is why so many people feel they “fail” at meditation (and I don’t use that word lightly).

Practices to Calm the Mind is a practical and pragmatic class. There’ll be opportunity to for discussion; what to expect, what’s normal, how to support yourself day to day as well as lots of calm. The aim is to give you the best possible chance of building a sustainable personal practice to down-regulate and reset your nervous system.

🌸 This class is for you if you’re:
• Feeling stressed, anxious, or mentally overloaded
• Looking to improve sleep quality and relaxation
• Recovering from illness, injury, or burnout
• Interested in starting meditation but unsure where to begin
• Living with chronic pain or fatigue
• Wanting to build resilience and emotional balance
• Simply craving a pocket of calm in your week

£12pp. Max 5 per class. Dates below. To book, simply message me directly on whatsapp or via email jo@jdoh.co.uk x

Meet Spud, my miniature Yorkshire terrier. 15years and still going strong. A huge part of my life and therefore a big tiny presence at the studio.

Loves company and always up for affection. A sweet little soul who loves curling up with you on the mat 🙏🏽

🐳 WHALES 🐳

But just LISTEN to that sound!!

Many years ago I spent some weeks working on a big boat out in the ocean, north of the Dominican Republic, hanging out and getting wet with humpbacks.

It was there that I had the rare opportunity to freedive down to join a singing male.

The experience buzzed my bones and shifted my molecules. Also left me mute for a while. Who wants to talk after their whole existence has shifted?

Interestingly, I also got to spend a week at sea with a group of people who believed in their ability to communicate with animals, particularly the whales. It was curious. I don’t judge.

I can tell you that being in the open water with these magnificent creatures opens the mind to all sorts of possibilities x

Their breath smells of fish and creates a rainbow in the air. The noise carries across the water. It’s a beautifully humbling experience 💕

Ha! What was going to be a connection to the breathing workshop turned into a nostalgic moment instead 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

I’m loving this guy, love his attitude, his sense of humour and his energy 😊
