Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork for Vital Ageing

04/01/2026

Came across this video again while strolling through my library 🤍 A sweet reminder of why we do retreats in the first place.
These spaces are about so much more than getting away: they’re about connection, healing, clarity, and remembering what’s possible when you give yourself time and care. Hearing reflections like this never gets old ✨
If you’ve been feeling the nudge, here’s what’s coming up:
🧘‍♀️ Yoga for MS Retreat — beginning of May (only 1 place left)
🌿 Vital Path Retreat (full week) — end of May
🌱 Vital Path Long Weekend Retreats — June & October
All details + registration at tamingthewalrus.com/events
Maybe this is your sign 🤍

“Trying to film the beautiful beach… but someone keeps wanting my full attention 😂🌊
Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Some days, the to-do lists never gets shorter, the deadlines feel urgent, and it all feels just… too much. 🌿
During these times, my best “medication” is found in Nature: the fresh air, the colours, the simple beauty of nature.
Just a few minutes outside is enough to reset my mind and bring a little calm back.
Nature is my therapy, and often my reminder to breathe too. 🌱

Why 3 x 30-minute yoga / strengthening sessions a week really make a difference ✨

From my experience (and my body 😌), this is the sweet spot.

Not too long.
Not overwhelming.
But consistent enough for the benefits to show.

When you move 3 times a week:
✔️ strength builds faster
✔️ mobility improves noticeably
✔️ stiffness reduces
✔️ confidence grows
✔️ and motivation naturally increases because you can feel the change

That’s usually the moment people think:
“Ahhh… this is working.”

This is exactly why I wanted to offer my students the chance to join me regularly, with structure and commitment — without pressure.

🌅 Early morning live Zoom classes
🧘‍♀️ Choice of 12 classes per week
💷 from £9.60 per week with a monthly subscription
🤍 Live = real connection
Show up, move together, say a few words, feel part of a small community…
If this speaks to you, I’d love to have you practice with me ✨

This picture is from last year.
Winter solstice is for me a bit like the savasana for the year: the deep deep rest before the light begins to rise again.
But I’m very grateful that from here, the days grow longer. Give me light 🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

Have you ever felt the weight of isolation?

This week on Substack, I’m talking about loneliness, pain but also gratitude and the power of community; and how grateful I am for mine. 💛

Learning to slow down is an art: one that doesn’t come easily to me, but right now it’s exactly what my body needs. 💛 I know it.
My wrist operation lasted 3 hours, and now I need deep rest so my broken bones and cut tissues can repair, and so my nervous system can return to balance.

I need rest to heal.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is exactly that, and let the body do its brilliant work.
Here’s to recovery, patience, and trusting the process. 🫶✨

🐾 Practicing the Pepi Melt

Every time I watch this clip, I can’t help but smile.
Pepi doesn’t just rest: he melts.
His whole body says:
“I’m safe. I can let go.”
Maybe that’s the lesson:
to stop trying to relax
and simply allow it.
To get heavy, soft, and supported,
like gravity’s got you. 🌍💛

Trail running: 2 – Me: 0 😅
Right wrist broken, left knee stitched (6 of them!), but I’m fine and waiting for the surgery date. No pain, just pride slightly bruised.

What I’ve learned:
➡️ Road running is underrated
➡️ Hills are meant to be looked at, not run up
➡️ Maybe it’s time to take up swimming! 🏊‍♀️
