Gosh it’s busy out there: some people are just desperate for a “summer staycation”. The beaches are packed. Restaurants are booked out. Holiday accommodation is full. But…. the simplest staycation is the inner journey. And it’s always available. The most fascinating landscape you’ll ever explore is the one inside of you, the vast territory of […]
📦Yoga has helped me become more aware of my internal state, such as when I feel anxious: my heart rate gets faster and my belly and throat feel tense.💛One of the tools I use to reduce my anxiety are PRANAYAMAS, or breath practices.💨I’ve recorded a series of YouTubes that are coming out over the next […]
It has been so precious to be able to practice yoga with other people again, in the fresh air, at some beautiful outdoor spots.👍👍👍👍What’s different to last year:🙏🙏🙏🙏1. Spreading out.

🌹Most of the time I teach yoga in English. And one day I’ll be able to teach yoga in Welsh too…🌼Nevertheless the roots of yoga would have been in languages from the Indian subcontinent like Sanscrit.🌸And whilst it is a beautiful language, I don’t use it too much: too much complex language can make the […]
Most people don’t think much about their breath.🤷♂️Until they start yoga. Or get into the ‘do I wear a face mask’ debate.😷But whether you’ve got a mask on or not, whether you are inside or outside, whether you feel lively or crappy today….🐝Becoming more conscious of the breath can help us change our internal state, […]

Our world has gone so weird, through each latest phase of the Coronavirus saga.🦠What are the rules today?🤷Will I have work tomorrow?🤷♀️When will things return to normal?🤷♂️The truth is: there is no certainty other than change.😷But how do we best meet that change, evolve with it, grieve our losses, and find new opportunities? ⚡️I’m running an […]
🌞 The 2020 “summer season” seems to have gone from 0 to 60 mph in about a week. ⚡️ The roads are busy, the beaches are packed, and every other restaurant and bar has tables and parasols and customers outside. And for the most part, the sun has played its part… well mostly! ⛱ It’s […]
☀️☀️☀️I feel like my movements have been LIMITED over the last few months.💥💥💥NO trips away. NO meals out. NO hanging out with friends. NO weekly travels to teach yoga in Holyhead or Aberffraw. NO running errands all over the place.💫💫💫It’s been a STRANGE time…🏖🏖🏖But THIS WEEKEND WE GOT OUT to Newborough for a mini break […]
💥💥💥At my Yoga Teacher training last weekend, we had some great Anatomy lectures from Pip Waller, all about the mysteries of our Digestive, Urinary and Lymphatic systems…⭐️⭐️⭐️So this week I was inspired to teach a class that was all about bringing some love to the internal organs through simple breath and movement.✨✨✨Do this class if you […]
