Today’s experiment in doing yoga outdoors once again features a cockerel crowing in the background. He turned up after someone abandoned him a box by the side of the road. He’s believed to be a grey silkie and is very well mannered for a cockerel. Want to find out about my YouTube postings? Here’s the […]
Why? Because… too much time sitting, too much time slumping, not to mention too much time scrolling! We evolved to move. But if you spend 8+ hours a day immobile in a chair it’s no wonder you end up feeling stiff and lethargic. I know. I spent a decade working in offices and sitting at […]
Our world is an uncertain place. The daily and weekly shifts of information, policy and social norms are hard to navigate. As to what will happen next week or next month or next year… who knows?! With so much external uncertainty and chaos, can we even find internal stability? My favourite yoga tool for this […]

This week’s yoga-video experiment: INTO THE GARDEN!!! As soon as you start to film outside it gets more complicated. There’s wind! There’s cockerels! There’s nettles!

EVERY DAY THE SUN RISES AND THE SUN SETS Though it may seem our world has been utterly TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, some things are constant. We’re heading towards the lightest and sunniest time of the year, and while the future is uncertain, the sun can still be counted on to come up in the morning […]
THERE IS ONLY ONE PATH UP THE MOUNTAIN (so not true) The first time I trained to teach yoga there was an ongoing “DIFFERENCE OF OPINION” between the two course leaders. They each followed different philosophies of yoga and insisted on different ways of aligning yoga, which was deeply confusing as a student. There was […]
I’M NOT THIN ENOUGH // BENDY ENOUGH // VEGAN ENOUGH TO DO YOGA When I was in my twenties I knew I would end up teaching. I didn’t know what. Because I didn’t know much about anything at that age. ?? And now two decades later I am teaching yoga. And training other people to […]
HOW TO FEEL STRONG WHEN YOU CAN’T GET TO THE GYM ANYMORE So maybe you have a set of kettlebells at home. Or you live right next to a mountain you can run up and down every day. Or you’ve been busy digging stuff and moving tonnes of earth in the garden. One of the […]
FOUR REASONS… PEOPLE ARE STILL DOING YOGA REGULARLY I’ve been astounded at how people are still finding yoga helpful during the lockdown.
