It’s a gorgeous spring day and I’m driving towards the Ashdown Forest to lead my first yoga day retreat in 2 years…

…a practice designed to help soothe and relax you to the core; a practice that I come back to time after time because I know it works and I always feel better afterwards…

Many of us suffer from back pain, poor posture, headaches or drowsiness when working at our desk. This is because we simply aren’t designed to be in this position for long periods of time…

The yoga books listed below…are all ones which I have found invaluable over the years and regularly return to for inspiration and to support my own teaching and practice both on and off the mat…

Spring, Transition and Moving out of Lockdown…What habits will you be letting go of? What will you be holding onto? How can meditation help?

Did you know that your yoga practice can aid recovery from respiratory diseases such as Covid-19 and may also help boost your immunity?…

At a time when we could all do with feeling more grounded and many of us are looking to our yoga practice to help provide support and stability in our lives, what happens if even the ground feels fundamentally unstable, and the earth feels ready to shift and crumble at any time..?

…the teacher is able to witness the student more clearly within the 'container' of this relationship, and this in itself can help bring the student to greater levels of awareness within his/her own practice…

…Whilst the practice of yoga asanas is a physical practice, what is important in the physical context is not how flexible or strong we get but rather how we meet resistance in our bodies…

Whenever I feel bloated or sluggish I always feel like doing twisting poses which are wonderful for stimulating the digestive system and the internal organs and keeping the spine flexible and healthy.

I like to encourage students to look out for any habitual patterns of movement which may lead to the creation of tension in the body. The practise of postures and sequences of movement within a yoga class can help us to become aware of these patterns…

…to me, what is even more interesting than the physical expression of the forward bend, is how much our attitude to moving into a forward bend can reflect our attitude to life off the mat…
