Hey, it’s been a while friends.
As we head into autumn, the perfect time to be inspired by nature and let go of what we no longer wish to carry. Just as the leaves fall from a tree, so can we let go of what is no longer serving us.

In class we’ve practiced some autumn teachings of letting go, noticing our habits, beliefs, responses and reactions. Are they aligned with our values? Are they the essence of who we are? Can we get curious - without judgment - and simply notice with compassion how we show up for ourselves and for others?

In yoga philosophy, these patterns are called samskaras - the grooves left behind by our past actions and experiences. They shape how we think, feel, and move through life, often without us realising. But our practice gives us the chance to bring awareness to those patterns, to pause, and to ask: is this helping me live in alignment with my true self?

This is why setting an intention matters so deeply. When we choose a quality - patience, courage, kindness, balance - we are planting a new seed. Each breath, each movement, is a chance to water that seed and gently create new patterns.

So as we step into autumn, let’s practice releasing what no longer serves us and consciously choose what we’d like to carry forward. Our time on the mat becomes practice for life itself.

Much love, Michelle ❤️

🧘‍♀️ Gentle reminder Tuesday Yogi’s 🧘‍♀️

Looking forward to an energising flow this evening, we’ll be moving with the breath in a rhythmic, meditative way. We’ll balance this with some cooling yin postures as we wind down - so your blankets or a towel, blocks or bricks will be useful this evening.

Looking forward to saluting the sun as we’re now officially in the SUMMER season 😎 I think the weather needs reminding!!

Healing, Samskara & the Path of Yoga

Anniversaries often bring reflection. Three years ago, I was recovering from surgery - navigating not just the physical body healing, but the mind body too.

The good news? We don’t have to stay stuck. We can rewrite our patterns…here’s how!

Samskaras are like the grooves in a well-worn path and the more you walk a certain way, the deeper the track becomes. They’re the mental and emotional imprints left by our past experiences, habits, and choices. Some samskaras are helpful, like the automatic way you brush your teeth every morning. Others, though, can keep us stuck, like always doubting ourselves in new situations because of a past experience. These patterns shape how we see the world and react to it, often without us even realising it.

Recognising a habit is one thing, but breaking it requires action. Each time we reinforce an old pattern, we confirm to ourselves: This is just who I am, (‘I’m an anxious person’ or whatever you identify with). What if we shifted that? What if, instead of giving up when things got hard, we said, I keep going no matter what?

To create real change, we need to consciously form new, supportive habits.

For me that looks like; I keep going with the yoga practice, switching off the TV, putting that chocolate bar in the cupboard as opposed to my mouth (sometimes). I make a conscious decision not to enforce ‘non-serving’ patterns until the ‘good’ ones are ingrained. 

When you start implementing new habits, you will start changing and growing. You might be more patient with people around you, feel less anxious about situations, be more at peace with yourself and the world, be more forgiving, and happier too. 

We can’t always control our circumstances, but we can change the way we perceive them. We can face the truth instead of seeing it through a filter (vrittis) and stay in the suffering.

Healing isn’t linear, and transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but we can rewrite our story.

Thank you to all the teachers at for the embodied experience of all your teachings 🙏 transformative ❤️
