Yoga means union or to "unite". Everyone can practise yoga, even those of us who are unwell. Yoga poses, modified where necessary, help us to regain or maintain strength and suppleness of the muscles and joints. Regular practice of yoga may result in many benefits to both the physical and mental states. BENEFITS:

Hatha yoga is suitable for everyone whatever your flexibility or fitness level is and is also excellent for beginners. Yoga classes are offered from a beginner to advanced level. Classes also includes a strong therapeutic approach that enable those with any body restrictions or injuries to enjoy a regular yoga practice. All students are very much encouraged to progress at their own pace. The class will include a gentle breathing practice, simple yoga poses using the breath that will stretch, tone and build strength and flexibility in the body and a wonderful relaxation to close to help you feel more grounded. An introduction to a simple meditation practice is introduced throughout the classes. Yoga is about having some fun and bringing lightheartedness in our daily lives while discovering who you are.

Spring is in the air and no better time to remind us to also take care of yourself.
-
Life has a way harbouring our attention outside and often we forget that the "inner" landscape needs to be re-plenished and nourished.
-

Last September, I took a massive step ....

I began the a journey of self inquiry through my personal yoga practice. I became used to how I always showed up and practiced.

Something was missing .. it was that sense I "feeling" into what I was actually doing.

What was my "why"? I needed to explore something deeper that was not outside myself but within my roots.
-
As many of you know, somatic movement is integral to my classes as it calls us to sense and feel what the body is speaking to us. I began a journey of Somatics over 10 years ago and it features so strong in my personal practice.
-
But the magic began to happen when I had the most amazing opportunity over 9 months to delve deeper through continued learning into how to weave somatics and yoga together with the masterful Caitriona Leavey from Flowteam Academy Training.
-
My classes have evolved and are somatically infused with gentle movement to invite you into to the wisdom of your body, moving with ease while bringing stability, lightness a real relationship with the space around you.

What does this mean? Maybe leaning into your life, might seem a little less overwhelming and you move through with more ease. This is "yoga off the mat"
-
Our students have shown even more committment to themselves. They are floating out of classes with a sense of lightness, joy and something different that they haven't felt in a while.

Would you like to see what it feels like?

These classes are suitable for all.
✨A nurturing and supportive space to experience gentle movement through yoga, ✨Somatic infused movements to re-set and ease tension.
✨Stillness practices to settle the mind.
✨A deep guided nidra relaxation to send you home grounded in your heart.

Classes are hybrid -
Attend in-person
Attend online

Alternate each week to suit your schedule. Class recordings included for 7 days!

I needed this today! 🙏

Because it’s easy to think the answer is “out there” one more idea, one more plan, one more push.

But real inner growth usually looks quieter than that.

Our roots help us to feel grounded, stable and steady. 🌳

This could look like:

🔹️getting honest about what matters most for you.

🔹️showing up consistently (even when it’s not exciting)

🔹️protecting your boundaries

🔹️saying what you actually mean, what's in your heart.

If you’re feeling a little all over the place, come back to the roots.

Being grounded brings clarity in this moment.

Becoming the calmness in the storm. 🧘‍♀️

What’s one root you’re strengthening this week? 🌿

PS
If you would like support in your grounding, our new Spring Yoga classes, Weekly Meditation classes are a great way to begin.
Starts soon!

Have you struggled with meditation because you believed having thoughts meant it just wasn't working? 🤯

Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts.

So if your mind is busy, it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong… it just means you’re human.

The AMAZING thing is:
when meditation starts to land, the benefits don’t just stay inside you, the people around you feel it too. ✨️

My Free Video #3 is now live (final video in this free series -)

"Why You Should Meditate — Health Benefits + Managing Stress"

In this video I’ll share:

🔸️why stress doesn’t just stay in the mind — it sits in the nervous system + body

🔸️ the real-life health benefits people notice when they practise consistently

🔸️ what to do when your mind is busy and loud (so you don’t get frustrated and give up)

🔸️ why getting still each day becomes a foundation for deeper self-growth

🔸️ how this can naturally lead into guiding others too — if you feel called!✨️

-
🎬 Watch Video:
https://vimeo.com/1157362582/253f2cea99 -

Available only for the next 3 days so you can watch and practise with it while it’s fresh in your mind.

🔸️I would love to hear in the comments

🔸️What’s the main change you want meditation to bring into your life right now — calm, sleep, emotional steadiness, or clarity?
-
P.S.
I also share at end of free training video about my upcoming 14-week live online Meditation Teacher Training (Yoga Alliance Professionals UK accredited).

Limited places to ensure deeper group mentoring experience.

I want to say thank you for all the messages you’ve shared with me lately about what stress looks like for you!

So many of your stories are deeply familiar.

When I learned that having thoughts was normal during meditation, this changed everything for me.

And I want you to hear this today! 😀

🌿 Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts.

So if you’ve been trying to “clear your mind” and feeling like you’re failing… you’re not failing.

A busy mind doesn’t mean meditation isn’t working.

It means you’re a living Being🌿

I made a short video training: Video — “The Myths That Keep People Stuck” where I’ll walk you through:

✅ what to do when thoughts pull you into stress
✅ a reframe around not having time
✅ and a short guided practice to help you reset (even on a busy day)

Watch here: https://vimeo.com/1156639086/971b7da397

After you watch, I’d love to know:

Which myth have you believed most?

“I can’t clear my thoughts.”
“I don’t have time.”
“If I’m not blissed out, it’s not working.”

Have you ever noticed the body reacts to uncertainty? Not knowing outcomes?

We are hardwired to be "prepared" as this is part of our physiology.

We like to know every step ahead to know what's coming.

But this is where we can get stuck.

Our path is no one else's path and the only way is one step at a time. Each part shines like a torch to the next.

With our own inner knowing voice, taking one step and adding trust, we are foraging through .

It's never wrong although it might "look" wrong to the mind.

But with heart + trust + ONE step = profound change.✨️💛✨️

The more you do this, even in small a way, the more you will trust your decisions.

And gain confidence on your own path ✨️
-
-
PS. Connect deeper with inner knowing and trust and through the power through meditation and the Ancient Wisdoms.

Our Accredited Meditation Teacher Training starts in 8 days. ✨️

I remember in my early 20’s when life got so hectic my sleep was wrecked. I didn’t realize how much stress I was carrying until it started affecting my mood and health… I truly thought everyone lived like this.
-
If you’ve ever been exhausted but your mind won’t switch off, I made a 6-minute video that shares the reframe that made meditation finally doable for me (even with a busy mind).
-

After you watch, tell me your biggest ‘aha’.”
