midweek already…

and if the last couple of weeks have thrown you out of your usual rhythm, you’re not alone.
sometimes it’s not about jumping straight back in
it’s about gently finding your way back

one step
one walk
one small choice at a time

this morning wasn’t perfect… I was slow to get up and slow to move...but I still got out,
I still walked and flowed through a yoga practice
and that counts

so if you’re craving a bit of routine again… this is your gentle reminder...

you're ready
you’ve got this 🤍

Happy Easter from me and Floyd 🐾🤍

Zero movement for the past two days…
but last night I finally had a pain-free sleep.
Feeling rested, and gently determined to return to my normal activities…
just in a smart, steady way...
not my usual "Gen" stubborn, back full steam ahead approach 😅

Whatever you’re doing today…
Easter egg hunts with your smallies,
family lunches, or just chilling with some chocolate

have a lovely one 🤍 love you beauties 🐰🍫❤️🌷

today feels a bit… meh

not low, not high… just somewhere in between

i’ve been doing all the things
breathwork, meditation, trying to regulate my nervous system…
and i think today is just my body settling after all of that

and if i’m honest, i’ve probably overdone it a little the last few days

so today isn’t about pushing
it’s about pausing

just sitting with it
even if that means staring at the laptop… and letting it stare back at me 😅

but there are still small wins

like staying on track with how i’m eating
not hitting the “f**k it” button (quote credit to 😅) and actually listening to my body in all the ways it counts.

so if you’re having one of those in-between days too…
you’re not alone, just go with it. ride the waves...

I Am Fire is the third chapter in our Immersed in Nature journey.

After grounding through Earth and creating space through Air, we now move into warmth, strength and transformation.

Over five weeks, this term invites you to explore a practice that gently builds heat in the body, sharpens focus and supports a deeper connection to your own energy.

This is not about pushing harder or doing more.
It’s about moving with intention, building strength steadily and reconnecting with the part of you that feels clear, energised and quietly powerful.

Whether you are continuing on or joining for the first time, this is your invitation to step into the next chapter.

I Am Fire • Ignite & Transform 🔥
Booking now open, spaces are filling fast

real life lately…

slow walks, sore ribs, and a newfound fear of sneezing 😅

not 100%… but still showing up in the ways i can 🤍

Not quite back to myself yet…

and learning to be okay with that. Some days aren’t about pushing forward….they’re about softening, slowing down, and finding comfort in the little things.

A bath.
A breath.
A moment.

That’s enough for now ✨

What's your favourite self care, the things that bring you joy! Leave some suggestions in the comments 👇🏼 I'd love some inspiration ✨❤️

It’s funny how quickly perspective can shift.

Yesterday felt heavy.
Today… a little lighter.

Nothing has really changed I’m still injured, still moving slowly, still wincing through the simple things.

But there’s a quiet knowing now…
this isn’t forever.

And sometimes that’s enough.

I also think we forget this...
just because someone else might be going through something “worse”, it doesn’t make your experience any less valid.

You’re allowed to feel it.
You’re allowed to have a wobble.

Just don’t unpack and live there.

Today I got dressed. Properly dressed 😅
And that felt like a win.

Small things… big perspective 🤍

Well… this escalated a little more than expected 🫠

What I thought was a small strain has turned into a full-on intercostal muscle spasm, and right now even the simplest things, walking, moving, even breathing are proving quite challenging.

So for now, I’m firmly on the couch, resting and letting my body do what it needs to do.

I’ve made the decision to cancel classes for the remainder of this term. Not an easy call, but the right one to allow proper healing rather than trying to push through and prolong it.

To all of my lovely students, thank you so much for your understanding and kindness. I appreciate it more than you know 🤍

For now… it’s slow days, gentle breaths, and practicing what I so often teach... listening to the body, even when it forces the lesson.

(And I'm still smiling… well grimacing 😂)

For anyone out there nursing an injury right now…

Whether it came from pushing too hard, a small moment you ignored, or something completely out of your control… This might be your gentle reminder to take the rest.

Even when you don’t want to.
Even when you didn’t choose it.
Because sometimes the pause is the work too.

A chance to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your body in a different way.

I didn’t want this rest…but I’m learning to accept it.
If you’re in the same place, you’re not alone 🤍

If anyone has ever pulled an intercostal muscle hit me with some recover tips please in the comments below 👇🏼

About the hub

All I can say is the universe works in amazing ways. After training as a yoga instructor over 15 years ago, I dreamed of having my own yoga studio. It never showed signs of happening. I have taught in a number of venues around Cork stopping briefly to start a family. After 4 boys and a move to the country I had laid to rest my dream of having my own studio. Instead I added feathers to my cap and trained as a postnatal doula. Through following this path it let me back onto my yoga teaching journey. Right up to this moment when an opportunity too good to pass up presented itself. A beautiful space right here in the heart of the Killumney countryside became available and has allowed me to turn it into a tranquil wellness hub. Making classes like yoga, pilates and tai chi available in the countryside in a countryside setting.
