As I write this, the first line of this song is on repeat in my head. It’s been there since yesterday when my 6-year-old, who came out of school singing it, put it there. Surprised that I knew the words, she was delighted as we all sang it at the tops of our voices onContinue reading ““This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…””

The magic amongst the weeds
On Wednesday evening I attended lovely fellow yoga teacher @yogaearthed Rachel’s Summer Solstice woodland yoga mini retreat. It was such a magical way to pause and mark the turn of the year, and it made me reflect on my experience back in December, when I attended the same event to mark the Winter Solstice andContinue reading “The magic amongst the weeds”
Kiss the joy as it flies
Early this morning, I completed a very short but very beautiful meditation with Jeff Warren. It was entitled ‘kiss joy as it flies’. We meditated on the concept of not resisting change, on non-attachment to feelings, ‘good’ or ‘bad’ so we can experience joy (however transient it may be) that is around us.

Terrified that the next big wave will be the one that takes us out. Years ago, I had this inspiringContinue reading “The Ocean”
Perfectionist in recovery
The term recovering perfectionist is spot on for me. For years I wore the badge of perfectionist as a sign of virtue. I thought it showed that I was a hard-worker, a striver, a seeker of excellence. In reality, it was a flimsy cover for a lack of self-worth. And, a symptom of taking myselfContinue reading “Perfectionist in recovery”
Make the most of an online yoga session on Zoom.
This is a bit of a change to my usual post – more a top tips type post – really hoping it will be useful nonetheless! Since COVID online yoga has become a staple offering within the industry. I certainly wouldn’t have my early riser yoga club without it. There was lots of debbie doubtersContinue reading “Make the most of an online yoga session on Zoom.”
Random good stuff
I think we can all be forgiven for feeling like the world has gone a bit crazy. If you follow the News there seems to be little evidence of anything else. 🤯 As I sit here planning a private class for the weekend, it just struck me that although the world has seemed an unsettlingContinue reading “Random good stuff”
