👋This isn’t a business update.
It’s a truth-telling moment.📢

Winter has this way of stripping things back until the truth is the only thing left in the room.
And this year, the truth was loud.

Something in me shifted — quietly, unmistakably — and I realised the container I was teaching inside wasn’t big enough for what we were actually doing together.
Not anymore.
Not for me.
Not for the women walking with me.

So I’ve listened.
Properly listened.
And I’ve made a decision that feels equal parts terrifying and deeply right.

🔥 FireWoven is coming.
A single home.
A single path.
A deeper way of practising together.

I wrote about the moment everything changed — the inner nudge, the Cold Moon clarity, the why behind the shift — in my latest blog post.

If you’re in your own season of transition…
if life is handing you your own torch…
you might find something in it for you too.

You know when something inside you reorganises itself… quietly… and then suddenly everything makes sense?
That’s been me these last few months.
A stripping back.
A clarifying.
A rearranging of what stays and what goes.
With this new 9-energy chapter (The Spiritualist), my work is shifting from managing everyone’s storms… to holding a steady flame.
Less juggling platforms.
Less fragmentation.
More depth.
More devotion.
More practice, less noise.
FireWoven is the next chapter.
We’ll walk into it together in January.
Practical details soon — but for now, just know:
We’re simplifying.
We’re unifying.
We’re going deeper.

FireWoven

Digging out old footage of me teaching Yin is a reminder that not much changes in this practice —
we slow down, we breathe, and the rest sorts itself out.
And honestly… that’s what most of us need in December.
If you’re feeling the pace, come drop into your breath with me on Saturday.
8am. .movement 
Long holds, soft edges, and zero expectation to do anything perfectly.
Bring your stiffness and your morning face. Both are welcome.

Your breath tells the truth before you do.
If it’s rushed, you’re rushing.
If it’s shallow, you’re bracing.
If it’s held, you’re holding far more than air.
This practice — now in the Vault — is a gentle invitation to come back home to yourself.
20 minutes of:
✨ Soft, natural breath
✨ Navel-centred Samana Vayu Kriya
✨ SO HUM — the mantra your breath already knows
Nothing fancy.
Nothing performative.
Just you, your breath, and the quiet intelligence that’s been there all along.
Full replay in the Yoga Local app.
Perfect for anyone who needs to exhale properly for the first time today.

Something shifted this weekend… and it’s changing the course of my work.
Saturday was my birthday — and with it, I closed a long Yantra chapter under the 2 energy (The Harmoniser)… and stepped into the 9 energy, The Spiritualist.
54 years learning how to hold space, smooth edges, build community, feel everything deeply, and keep the peace… all culminating in this final, devotional chapter.
And with that shift came a very clear knowing:
It’s time.
Time for a cleaner container.
A simpler system.
A deeper way of walking this path with you.
In January, we step into a new chapter together.
One home.
One membership.
One path.
FireWoven.
More soon…

DECEMBER.
We made it, Yogis. 🙌✨
This month inside the App and .studio , we’re doing one thing really, really well:
Celebrating.
Not the glittery, tinsel-covered kind (although bring me a mince pie and I won’t complain)…
but the deep, honest kind.
The kind where you pause long enough to actually see who you’ve become this year.
The strength you built.
The breath that carried you.
The moments you kept showing up even when life was throwing curveballs like a drunken elf.
And because your breath has been the quiet hero behind all of it, December is dedicated to:
✨ Celebrating the Breath ✨
Every class — Moon, Sun, Fire, Yin — anchors into the breath as your power, your stability, your clarity and your soft landing at the end of the year.
Week by week we’ll explore:
🌬️ Week 1 — Celebrate the Breath
⚡ Week 2 — Challenge the Breath
🌀 Week 3 — Bind to Unwind
🌟 Week 4 — Celebrate Life
And yes… there is something shifting under the surface at Yoga Local.
A new chapter is brewing.
A wiser one.
A steadier one.
One that meets you exactly where you are in your own transition.
But for now… we breathe.
We celebrate.
We stay present with what’s here.
So come join me this month — on the mat, in the App, in your breath — and let’s see this year out with gratitude, grace and a little Josie-style grit. 😉
Who’s in? 💛👇

We’re in Week 4 of Manifestation Month, and this is the point where the work goes quiet.
Not less powerful — just less dramatic.

You’ve grounded.
You’ve cleared.
You’ve planted your seed.

Now your job is simple:
Trust what’s growing beneath the surface.
This is where the Moon, Sun and Fire practices all start to weave together…
🌑 Moon calms your system so you can receive
☀️ Sun helps you expand without overreaching
🔥 Fire lifts your awareness so clarity can rise
🪷 Micro Practices fine-tune the whole process
📝 Journalling gives your truth a voice
None of this is random.
It’s all working on your nervous system, your focus, your energy and your habits — quietly building the life you say you want:

better health
more emotional stability
clearer boundaries
deeper connection
stronger intuition
steadier confidence
a life that feels like it fits

Manifestation isn’t “wish and wait.”
It’s alignment.
It’s rhythm.

It’s the discipline of showing up for yourself long enough to grow out of old patterns and into new ones.

So this week, try this:
Stop poking the seed to check if it’s growing.
Hold the field steady.

Trust the rise.

All classes + replays are live inside the App.
Everything is supporting your growth — even the quiet bits.
Let’s keep going. 🌱

Scorpio New Moon: Not the “Manifestation Moment”… and That’s Exactly Why It Matters.

Everyone on Instagram today seems to be saying:
“Don’t manifest under this moon. It’s too intense.”
“Wait for a better time.”
“Just sit this one out.”

Honestly?
This is the moon you don’t want to sit out.

Because Scorpio energy isn’t here to give you what you want —
it’s here to show you what’s been getting in the way.

It’s the kind of New Moon that:
🔥 brings up the truth you’ve been ignoring
🔥 reveals where your energy is leaking
🔥 asks you to stop performing and start listening
🔥 ends cycles that you’ve outgrown
🔥 makes space for something more authentic to rise

Not comfortable.
But deeply necessary.
And completely aligned with the work we’re doing this month at Yoga Local.

Because manifestation doesn’t start with a wish list —
it starts with clearing the ground.

You can’t plant a new seed in:
• packed, busy soil
• old emotional debris
• outdated beliefs
• a version of yourself you no longer are

This New Moon is the part everyone skips:
the honest bit.
the releasing bit.
the “let’s stop lying to ourselves” bit.
the bit where power returns.

So tomorrow morning, we’re doing the work that actually makes manifestation possible:

🖤 grounding breath
🖤 guided meditation to see what’s ready to end
🖤 journalling to name the pattern, the story, the energy drain
🖤 reflection to reclaim the parts of you you’ve abandoned
🖤 creating space for what’s coming next

No drama.
No lunar theatrics.
Just truth, clarity, and the kind of inner shift you actually feel.

Join me at 7:30am — open to all YL members.
Live on Zoom.
Bring your journal, a tea, and your honest self.

You’ll walk away clearer.
Lighter.
More rooted.
More you.

Purification… sounds dramatic, right?
Like we’re about to torch all our bad habits and emerge in a cloud of sage smoke. 🔥😅
Nah.
In Ta***ic Yoga, purification isn’t about punishment — it’s about polish.
It’s the quiet inner work that clears the fog so your light can shine through.
When energy moves cleanly, manifestation stops feeling like hard work and starts feeling like flow.
That’s what we’re working with this week inside Yoga Local —
🌙 Moon to settle,
☀️ Sun to circulate,
🔥 Fire to refine.
What you see on the outside — the stillness, the holds, the breath — is only half the story.
The real transformation happens underneath it all, in the temple of your own awareness.
If you’ve been carrying a bit of “energetic clutter”, come clear it with me.
It’s cheaper than therapy and way more fun. 😉
Drop a 🔥 if you’re in.
