✨ My New Favourite Treat ✨
Someone asked me today if I have a sweet tooth… the answer is absolutely yes! 🍫 I’m that person who checks the dessert menu before ordering mains — priorities, right? 😋
But I also love finding ways to make my treats mindful & nourishing. Here’s my latest little obsession — a healthy twist on a Snickers bar:
🌴 Medjool Dates – nature’s caramel, packed with fibre, magnesium & natural sweetness to balance energy levels.
🥜 Crunchy Peanut Butter – healthy fats & protein that help you stay satisfied.
🍫 Dark Chocolate (with sea salt!) – rich in antioxidants, supports mood & heart health.
Easy to make: just remove the pit, add ½ tsp peanut butter, tuck in a sliver of dark chocolate, and… try not to eat them all at once!
It’s a treat that feels indulgent but keeps your body smiling too. 💛

Endings, Beginnings & The Wisdom of Ganesha
We’re moving through the Samhain portal — that liminal space where veils thin, shadows soften, and endings whisper of new beginnings. 🌑
As the Sun moves through Scorpio, we’re invited to release what’s heavy and honour what’s ready to transform. This is a time of composting — letting the old fall away so the seeds of the new can root deeply in fertile darkness. 🌿
This week in class, we flow old-school vinyasa laced with kundalini breathwork — a ritual of cutting loose dead weight and awakening the spark of rebirth.
🐘 Ganesha, guardian of thresholds and remover of obstacles, stands with us at this doorway between worlds. His story reminds us that even when the old form must fall away, something wiser and more radiant is always waiting to be reborn.
Endings are sacred.
Beginnings are holy.
Ganesha clears the path — we simply walk through.
🕯️ Join me in class this week as we breathe, flow, and cross the threshold together. Let’s release what’s done, receive what’s next, and step forward with courage, clarity, and elephant-hearted grace.

Did you know that Halloween and Samhain aren’t the same thing?
🎃 Halloween marks the cultural celebration on 31 October…
but true Samhain happens when the Sun reaches 15° Scorpio — this year on Friday 7 November at 14:36 UK time — and the Lunar Samhain arrives later still with the New Moon in Scorpio.
So while the world thinks the magic has passed… in truth, the portal is only just beginning to open. 🌑🌕
This is the threshold — between worlds, between seasons, between what has ended and what’s being born.
Today’s Full Moon in Ta**us is guiding us back to our bodies — to the grounding, sensual rhythm of the Earth.
She reminds us to slow down, to release the noise, and to return to the simple blessing of being enough.
🕯️ Take six minutes to pause with me in this guided meditation — a lunar journey through breath, body, and becoming.
Let it be your permission slip to rest, soften, and feel held by the magic of this moment.
🌿 Inhale — I am here.
🌕 Exhale — I am enough.
🎧 Listen, breathe, and cross the threshold with me. The magic is only just beginning…

Empowering you to transform your self-doubt into courage and unlock your potential & power with myths, ritual and sacred practice.
I started practising Yoga in a community class out in the wilds of Canada, where I had gone to live a simple outdoors life with my first great love. I found it such a grounding and nourishing practise that, when my beloved was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I shared the basic techniques that I had learnt for relaxation and pain management with him - and, despite his initial scepticism, they proved to be a great help to both of us.
It was during this time that I really began to discover the practise of yoga as a way to heal, as opposed to being merely a form of 'keep-fit'. Sadly, in 2001, he passed, and in the year that followed I used Yoga, in conjunction with immersing in nature, as a tool for my own personal healing.
It was in 2002 that I felt called to take the first of my many Teacher Trainings. Since that time I have had the privilege of studying with many inspirational teachers, including Shiva Rea, Tias Little, Doug Keller, Mukunda Stiles, Julie Gudmestad and Donna Fahri. In the last 8 years I have studied with Sianna Sherman and am a graduate of the first intake of her 300 Hour Rasa Yoga Advanced Teacher Training course.
I obviously love to learn and gain knowledge, but for me, the real pleasure comes from sharing and witnessing how yoga makes a real difference to peoples' lives. In addition to teaching my own classes I also teach on the Yogacampus, Manchester 200 hour Teacher Training Course. It is my absolute joy to see the trainee teachers flourish and thrive.
My passionate and heartfelt belief is the practise of Yoga is a powerful tool for facilitating healing and transformation on all levels, physical, emotional and energetic, is this founded on personal experience and observation. This belief is at the heart of each and every Yoga offering I share.
My classes are a creative and fluid inter-weaving of relatable philosophy, story telling, alignment based asana, through which I seek to empower my students and introduce them to Yoga as a way to help deal with life's challenges - however great or small. Yoga cannot remove the pain or lessen the challenging times, but it can give us a greater capacity and resilience to deal with life's up and downs. I truly believe yoga is for everyone and I teach in a way that encourages and supports Every Body.
Yoga continues to teach me so much about myself - it helps to empower me when I feel fear, it helps me to trust when I feel doubtful and it helps me to be present and at peace, even when there is chaos all around!! I can honestly say that Yoga has brought me so much inner strength, joy and bliss and changed my life in so many ways. I am excited to continue to share these incredible practices that can awaken spirit and help you to live your best life!
