Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork for Vital Ageing

20/03/2026

Yoga Therapy for Achy Bits!

I'm delighted to introduce a new 30 min class focusing on structural yoga therapy blending physiotherapy, Pilates, and yoga to help you build strength, improve mobility, and move with ease.

Most of us carry old injuries (who hasn’t had a sprain or two?). Over time, they can come back and affect how we move. This class is here to support your body in rebuilding, restoring, and feeling good again.

We’ll use simple props like chairs, tennis balls, elastic bands, and yoga blocks to target key areas.

👉 This week’s focus: the feet, the foundation for everything you do.

Can’t make the live session? Book anyway and you’ll receive the recording to practice at your own pace.

Breathwork isn’t just about calming down… it’s about protecting your brain.

New research (Dec 2025) is shifting how we see the simple act of breathing. It’s no longer just a relaxation tool.
Some breathing techniques can support long-term brain health (by supporting the glymphatic system that clears out waste in the brain).

Another reason to start or continue your breathwork practice!

Over the years I’ve tried a few tricks to keep myself motivated to practise.

I’ve stuck a piece of paper on the inside of my bedroom door that said ‘Get your mat out’ so it was the first thing I saw in the morning.

I’ve even name my mat Lucille (the one who brings light) and sometimes I literally say, ‘Happy to see you.’
Yes… I love naming things. 😄

But honestly, the real motivation is simple:
I always feel better after yoga than I did before. Always.
No matter how tired, distracted, or unmotivated I feel when I start. Breath, movement… and the day feels lighter.
So when motivation is low, I remind myself:
Just get on the mat.
Future me will be grateful. ✨🧘‍♀️

What about you? How do you keep yourself motivated to practise? (Yoga or whatever you practise)

5 years of Zoom classes 🎉

What started as a way to stay connected through movement has grown into an incredible journey.

Over the past 5 years, I have taught 2,826 classes, exploring yoga, strengthening, and breathwork.

Thank you to everyone who has shown up, rolled out a mat, taken a breath, and been part of this evolving community. Your openness keeps this work motivating.

And the exploration continues…

Starting in June, I’ll be offering monthly 2-hour deep-dive classes too around topics such as:
• Stress & Inflammation
• Strength vs Speed
• Deep Rest
• Tensegrity
• Interoception
Etc …

Longer sessions to explore the science, practice, and experience behind how our bodies work and how we can care for them better.

Thank you for being on this path with me. More to come. 🌿

Mornings like this remind me exactly why we chose this place: hills in every direction, blue skies.
The sound of birds and nothing else.
Our walks feel like therapy.

Nature is so resilient and living amongst it teaches you to be resilient too.

Life here isn’t rushed. It’s grounded, simple, real. And every walk through these hills is a reminder to slow down and breathe it all in.
So grateful to call this place home. 🌅

One year ago my DEXA scan showed bone density loss. My GP recommended starting osteoporosis medication.
Instead, I asked for one year to stop the decline.

I committed to strengthen my muscles & more importantly my bones, especially through the Mindful Science-Based Strength Training approach developed by P Shepherd and A Yakovenko.

Today?
Not only has the decline stopped… my bones are 2% denser than they were a year ago.

Key reminder: strength training isn’t optional. 🦴💪

Peter & Pepi soaking in the first sunrays after weeks of endless rain ☀️💛

It feels so good!

At the same time, my heart feels heavy thinking of everyone affected by the recent storms in Portugal, Spain, Morocco, and beyond. So much loss, so many lives turned upside down. Holding you all in my thoughts🙏
I hope this sunshine brings comfort where it’s needed most. 💛

This week it really sank in…
I was diagnosed with MS 26 years ago.
I’d already had symptoms 2years before that, so I’ve actually lived with MS for 28 years.

What I wish I had been told back then?
MS is NOT a life sentence.

My neurologist said: ‘You’ll probably have ups and downs for about 15-20 years, then it will go downhill.’

Well… guess what? I’m symptom-free. I’m active, happy…

What I wish I’d been told instead:
Live the best lifestyle possible.
Look after your body, mind, and spirit.
Put every chance on your side.

We’ve so much more power than we’re led to believe.
Hope > fear. Always.
