As 2024 comes to a close, I’m feeling deeply grateful — and a little tender too.
This year gave me so much.
A life-changing trip to India with my yoga buddy Megan Malone-Scott — the greatest gift I could have given myself. I don’t remember ever being so relaxed or so well-nourished, and after a wobbly end to 2023, it restored me in every way.
I moved into my new home just before last Christmas 2023, and I’m still very much in the honeymoon phase. I love everything about it — decorating, making it mine, my kitchen, my garden — and most of all living beside Corraigeencor Lake. Watching the birds and wildlife, swimming,firing up the sauna , practicing on the jetty, the most incredible summer weather and living daily with the blessings of the goddess of the lake.
On the yoga front, I was gifted a new class in Sligo and loved being there with new students and soaking up the townie vibe. Retreats in Ireland and Spain, and a huge highlight: working in Nazareth Village with the most extraordinary seniors — an experience that touched me deeply and enriched my life.
There were cycling holidays in Italy, my annual pilgrimage to Connemara where I completely let go and go feral, festivals, and seeing Bob Dylan again!
And the greatest joy of all — my baby,my son Eoin got married, and I gained a daughter, the beautiful Elliot. What a gift.
One bummer however was that I had bad fall and severely sprained my ankle in October. I had to cancel classes and trainings. Recovering has been very humbling and I learned a lot from the complete full stop that it brought - the Universe gives you what you need!
I don’t have everything figured out — but I do know this:
I’ll keep showing up.
For the practice.
For conversation.
For education.
For rest, strength, curiosity, and connection.
For me.
For you.
If you’re stepping into 2025 wanting to feel more empowered and at home in yourself - on the mat and off — you’re very welcome here.
Wishing you a healthy, vibrant and peaceful 2026
