Hello readers, I’m writing to you from my little retreat in the beautiful Tally Valley. I’m not going to write about ephiphanies I’ve had nor crossroads I’ve encountered during my withdrawal from daily life. I haven’t come up with any ground-breaking ideas for my future. In fact, writing this blog post is the most strenuous brain activity Continue reading
The best intentions…
Rather than ‘making resolutions’ this year, I ‘set intentions’ with the main ones being : meditate every day practice yoga five days a week build my private yoga class work smarter, not harder listen to my body and rest more be kinder to myself Note the word ‘intention’ – which means that I will do Continue reading
Finding my Yin
I’ve spent the last two years looking for my yin. I didn’t even know that I’d lost it! I knew about yin and yang, but until I did my yoga teacher training, I didn’t really grasp the full concept of it and how it related to me specifically. I learnt that the properties of Yin and Continue reading
New Year, ‘new me’ (NOT!)
In today’s blog, I want to talk about the notion that a new year means a ‘new you’. Let me first start by saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with ‘you’. ‘You’ don’t need to lose weight, change your shape, eliminate food groups, eat ‘clean’ or join a 12 Week Transformation program to conform to Continue reading
Awakening
I thought I’d share a little bit of my 2016 journey with you in this blog. This year has been all about the feminine for me – yin, grounding, intuition, self-care and slowing down. As I entered puberty and then adolescence, my femininity was suppressed as my father did not want me enhancing myself in any Continue reading
Confession of a High-Functioning Anxious person
Are you a high-performer at work? Do you place high expectations on your Self and others? Do you find it hard to ‘let go’ of stuff (work, arguments, the past, worrying about the future)? Are you constantly thinking ‘what if’ and building up major life-shattering events in your head? Do you live by ‘To Do’ Continue reading
Anxiety, Menopause, Adrenal Fatigue – and getting away with looking ‘normal’
Hello there! It’s been a while, and I do apologise for my absence. I took on a position at the local Community Centre that sees me working almost full-time, and between work, teaching yoga, keeping a house, staying on top of social media and self-development, there’s been no time to sit down and write a Continue reading
The reality of morning rituals
I like to think I’m a little spiritual. I practise and teach yoga; I love crystals and put them out to restore in the full moon; I love dragonflys and dreamcatchers. I read self-development books and have a wonderful tribe of soul sistas who bring a vibe of love and connection to my life. Spirituality Continue reading
When did being busy become a Social Status?
I don’t know about you, but years ago I used to love keeping busy, mainly because it meant I didn’t have much down-time to think about my ‘stuff’. You know the ‘stuff’ – how shitty my life was as a single parent, money worries, job worries, relationship worries. You get the drift. It was easier Continue reading
Grief
Have you ever lost someone close to you? If you have, I’m sorry for your loss. If you haven’t, make sure you let your loved ones know how you feel and remember not to take them for granted. You all know I’m going through the dreaded Meaniepause, right? If you didn’t read the blog, but would Continue reading
