I taught a class yesterday… in sunglasses.

Inside.

A few years ago I would never have done that. I would have tried to push through, squinting like mad, pretending I was fine while my head slowly tightened into a full-blown throb.

But yesterday the sun actually came out, which sounds lovely in theory, except it hit me like a spotlight after a week of grey skies and rain. My whole system went nope, that’s too much. The light felt blinding, like I was walking around with my face scrunched up just to survive it. And by the time I stepped into the studio, I already knew that if I took the sunglasses off, I’d spend the entire class battling pain instead of being present.

So I kept them on and told the group why.

And guess what… nobody cared.

At one point I laughed to myself, because it’s “not really something you do” is it? Wearing sunglasses while you teach a yoga class. It can look rude or odd or whatever stories we tell ourselves. But it was what my body needed in that moment, and it felt kind of liberating to honour that without apologising for it.

There was a time I didn’t know how to do that. I’d override my needs, people-please my way into discomfort, hold myself to society’s standards, then wonder why I was exhausted or in pain for the rest of the day. I didn’t have the self-trust or the inner permission to make small adjustments that actually supported me.

Yoga has changed that for me.

Slowly and quietly, over many years.

It taught me how to notice the signals, the subtle ones, before they turn into a full meltdown. It taught me to soften instead of push. To meet my body where it is rather than where I think it should be.

So yesterday wasn’t about sunglasses.

It was about self-advocacy.

It was about choosing what I needed, even if it looked a bit unusual, or didn’t fit the norm, so I could show up fully for the people in front of me.

And honestly, it felt like a tiny victory.

A reminder that honouring our needs isn’t selfish or dramatic, it’s a practice.

I used to practice in a pretty pushy, show-up-and-prove way without even realising it.

Back then, yoga felt like something I had to get right. I’d push through when my body was clearly saying no, or choose the harder option because it looked “better.”

But when your body stops cooperating the way you want it to, and when it simply can’t do what it once did, there comes a moment where you realise… you can’t keep practising or living like that.

Living with chronic illness has been one of my biggest teachers. It’s changed everything about how I move, how I listen, how I teach.

Now, my practice is softer, slower, more intuitive. It’s less about achievement, more about presence.

And when I see those little scrunched-up faces in class, the ones pushing just a bit too much, I recognise that part of myself so deeply.

Because most of the time, it’s not about the pose. It’s about those quiet patterns underneath, the ones that tell us we need to keep up or be a certain way in order to be worthy.

If this resonates, I’ve written a new blog about it, how we can shift from performing yoga to practicing more mindfully.

Thinking of gathering everyone together before the year runs away with us…
a little Sada Yoga social, off the mat, just to eat, chat and actually see each other without rushing to roll up a mat.

I’m planning an evening meal out, nothing fancy, just good food, easy company and a chance to reconnect with familiar faces (and meet a few new ones too).
Place and time are still being finalised, but I’d love to get a sense of numbers so I can book a table.

If you want to come along, register your interest with the link below, and you will be contacted for final details

I’ll be closing the list on 18th November so I can get everything set up.

It would be really lovely to have you there!

All welcome!

Lately, I’ve been sitting with the whole weird world of marketing as a yoga teacher.

It brings up so many questions in me… what feels true, what feels a bit salesy, what actually supports people rather than promising something that doesn’t exist.

And, maybe because I’ve been paying more attention, I’ve noticed a pattern that really gets under my skin.

Sometimes I hear spiritual, energy or yoga teachers talk like they’ve reached this magical point of eternal calm, and honestly, I just sit there thinking… really? You never wobble? You never get scared or spiral a bit or wake up with that strange hum of anxiety in your chest?

I mean, come on.

To me, that isn’t wisdom, it’s bypassing. Maybe even a bit of dissociation dressed up as awareness.

We’re human, which means we move through the whole messy spectrum of what that means.

Fear and joy, sadness and excitement, heaviness and hope, all mixing around in the same inner space. Some feelings get louder at times, some soften, but they all exist together. That’s the reality.

So when someone says,

"Do my thing and you’ll reach this perfect place where nothing touches you ever again,"

I can’t help but call bu****it.

These practices aren’t about becoming untouchable; they're about becoming aware. About knowing yourself so deeply that you don’t have to pretend you’re above being human.

If anything, real practice teaches you to face what’s here instead of pretending it isn’t.

I’m not usually one to jump on the awareness-week bandwagon, but this time I was specifically asked to hold a special session at Nuffield Health on Friday afternoon for Stress Awareness Week.

I decided to teach Yoga Nidra, because honestly, I think it’s one of the most accessible forms of yoga, where the most people can experience the most benefit. You don’t need flexibility, strength or experience, just a willingness to rest.

The carousel shares a little more about why Yoga Nidra is such a powerful tool for relieving stress, how it calms the nervous system, softens the mind, and helps the body remember how to truly let go.

Unfortunately, the one-off class at Nuffield is now fully booked, but if you’d like to experience this practice, we’ve got a Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath coming up soon. It’s a beautiful opportunity to explore deep rest, and with the added vibration of sound, your cells are gently massaged from the inside out, supporting release, balance and renewal.

Why We Crave Stillness Now

Ever been to a yoga class and felt like you’re doing exactly the wrong thing for where you’re at?

Like your body’s whispering, please slow down, but the room is telling you to push, stretch, strive?

Ayurveda would say that’s a sign we’re out of rhythm with nature.

Because we’re not meant to be in go-mode all year round.

Right now, as we are in the heart of Autumn, nature is asking us to take a step back, go inward, and rest a little more.

When we fight against that rhythm, it’s a kind of suppression.

And Ayurveda teaches that nothing should be suppressed - not hunger, not tears, not even burps and farts (yes, really).

It’s all energy that needs somewhere to go.

We’re now in Vata season, the season of movement, wind and change, which can leave us feeling scattered, restless or anxious.

So this is the perfect time to ground ourselves with simple things:

⭐ Warm, cooked meals instead of raw or cold foods

⭐ Early nights and steady routines

I’m bringing this same energy into tonight’s 7pm Yoga for Relaxation class, a slow, nurturing session ending with Yoga Nidra.

Think deep rest, grounding and stillness, exactly what body and mind are craving right now.

If you’ve been feeling the wind of change (literally or emotionally), this one’s for you.

Find the links to book on my website - sadayoga.co.uk/classes/

This class and all my others are also available with the Go4Free scheme - if you're doing less than 30 minutes of movement a week, you could be eligible for 5 free sessions! - more info on my website or drop me a message for info!

I have a long list of chronic health conditions that I’ve accumulated over the years, endometriosis, CFS, addiction, burnout, mental health struggles, chronic pain, digestive issues… and most recently, Arthritis.

I tried seeking help, but honestly, Western medicine often fell short when it came to chronic conditions that don’t have clear answers or established research.

After a while, I got tired of chasing treatments that didn’t work, so I decided to take my health into my own hands. Learning about Ayurveda and how it could support me was incredibly empowering. It taught me to really tune into my body’s signals, noticing what throws me off and what helps bring me back into balance.

One of the biggest shifts for me was around food. I’d been vegan for 7 years, but through Ayurveda, I realised my body needed something different. The guidance was clear.

So I began eating meat again, slowly, intentionally, mindfully. And honestly, I haven’t looked back. It’s given me a sense of vitality and alignment I hadn’t felt in years. Which now allows me to do my work and live my life with so much more ease and joy.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic health issues or just want to understand your body better, my Ayurvedic consultations are a space to uncover what restores your energy and balance.

Honestly, I’ve just been feeling so grateful lately, watching how many of you are showing up for yourselves.

Some of you are joining classes from tiny hotel rooms while you’re away for work, finding a little patch of floor to roll out a mat (or a towel if you forgot it!) and still choosing to practice. Others are checking in to tell me how determined they've been to stay consistent, and how much they can feel the difference when they do.

And more and more, I’m seeing people show up even when things feel a bit niggly in the body, or when there is low energy or not quite being “in the zone.”

The message is really getting through; you don’t need to be in perfect condition to practice.

You just show up, do what you can, meet yourself where you are.

I love seeing how you’re modifying your practice, making it suit your body, your energy levels, your day. It warms my heart, truly.

Because this is what it’s all about, not perfection, not performance, just presence. The Little Sada Yoga community continues to inspire me with your commitment to connection, awareness, and the kind of discipline that grows from self-care, not pressure.

Keep showing up for yourselves, in whatever way you can. It really does make a difference.

Want to join us tonight? Ashtanga at 6:15PM is at Bleadon Coronation Hall, or online, come as you are - YOU ARE WELCOME.

Sayeeda believes whole heartedly in the transformative power a consistent yoga practice can have on the entire human experience. Her personal practice is rooted in the traditional Ashtanga method, and has led her to a new way of thinking, transforming her life and enabling her to sit comfortably within herself for the first time. Her calling to become a teacher was driven by the desire to help others on their own personal and spiritual journeys.

Completing her teacher training with Bristol School Of Yoga, she is an avid student of all things Yoga. Her practice is not only physical postures but a way of life, and she continually develops her practice on and off the mat so that she can share and give back to her students. She has a growing passion for Yoga philosophy and hopes to undertake some further academic training in this area in the near future.

Sayeeda’s desire to learn more has taken her across the world, and she has been fortunate enough to practice and train with Jarad Maccan, and world renowned Ashtangi Kino Macgreggor.
