Why Yoga?

My yoga practice creates an opportunity for individuals to reconnect with themselves, through mindful movement and community support. This journey fosters not just physical wellness but emotional resilience and personal growth. My passion is sharing the life changing magic of Yoga with as many people as possible.

Nothing is permanent. Change is as reliable as the seasons. 🍂

I went out onto the fells today for the first time in ages. Seeing the leaves turning and autumn fully arriving got me thinking about how nothing ever stays still.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna compares pleasure and pain to winter and summer: they come, they go, and neither lasts forever. With time, even our biggest problems can start to look different.

Yoga is a practice that helps you navigate change, not stop it. Realising that nothing is permanent gives you permission to let go.

So this week, what change are you resisting? And what might you be ready to let go of?

Why do I hate savasana so much? It’s a question/statement I’ve been told as a Yoga Teacher…

If you’re the one fidgeting on your mat or eyeing up the door, you’re not doing it wrong. Most of us are lying there thinking “what’s for tea?” or “did I cancel that subscription?”, and that’s completely normal.

Savasana was never about switching your mind off (whoever told you that had never heard of the mental list)

It’s about watching what comes up, without judging it or chasing it. When we spend our days rushing, being still can feel strange, almost wrong. That’s exactly why it’s worth practicing.

I’ve written a blog post all about why savasana can feel so hard, plus a few gentle tips to make it easier (cosy socks and a bolster are non-negotiable 🧦).

Read it via the link in bio, and let me know: love it or hate it, where do you lie? (See what I did there)

Sonder Sundays: Everything is connected

Whilst reading the Upanishads I came across a word that stopped me in my tracks: Advaita, a Sanskrit word meaning “not two.” The philosophy suggests that the separation we feel between ourselves and everything else is not really there and that actually we are all more connected to each other and the universe than we realise.

You can see it out there if you look. The rain on the fells becomes the becks, the becks fill the lakes, the lakes rise back up as the mist we walk through on a Sunday morning. Nothing is separate, it’s just one thing, changing shape.

It’s the same thread that runs through the meaning of sonder: the moment you realise every stranger you pass carries a life as vivid as your own. Advaita takes that one step further. Not just that they’re like you, but that you’re part of the same whole.

So this week, notice the small threads and connections. And feel how you’re part of something much bigger. How everything on this earth is interconnected in a way - that’s Advaita.
