🌱GROW is back 🌱

Six weeks to explore yoga a little more deeply, with a lovely small group inside The Well.

We’ll move through different styles of yoga, somatics, breath, philosophy and Yoga Nidra, giving ourselves the time to explore, experience and let the practice unfold over six weeks together.

A space for curiosity, connection, and going a little deeper into everything yoga has to offer, both on and beyond the mat.

Beginning Thursday 17th September, 6-7pm.

Have a wee flick through for all the details, and if it sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love to welcome you.

Any questions, please reach out ✨

Booking is open now via the link in bio and comments🌿

🌀SUMMER PONDERINGS🌀

After a summer break from social media, and two weeks away from yoga classes and clients, I’m back ✨

My time off consisted of a whole lot of being and very little doing. Slow mornings, ordinary moments, time outside, time with people I love, lots of the sacred ordinary, which I’ve come to appreciate more and more.

I talk a little in this reel about the idea that perhaps there are no truly ordinary moments, only an over familiarity with the extraordinary.

Ta**ra reminds us that the sacred isn’t somewhere else, waiting for the right ritual or the right moment. It’s here, woven through the ordinary. “Every day is the ceremony” as a wise teacher once told me. The practice, perhaps, is learning how to meet what is already here with enough attention to actually experience it.

And now, there’s something shifting.

Does this time of year feel like a little mini New Year to anyone else?

The light is changing. The energy is shifting. Summer is beginning, to loosen its grip. That always stirs something in me, a feeling of gathering myself back in, and beginning again.

And I’m ready for it.

Very excited to get back to the yurt, back to the mat, and back to all the lovely yogis and clients who make The Well what it is. 🌿

Here’s to noticing the extraordinary hiding in plain sight.

Much love,

People often ask what kind of yoga I teach.

And the truth is, it’s difficult to answer briefly.

Because the classes inside The Well are designed not simply as sequences of postures, but as immersive, embodied experiences.

Each week begins with a theme that is woven throughout the entire practice, through movement, sensation, imagery, nervous system awareness and Yoga Nidra.

Themes can vary wildly.
Sometimes the theme comes from philosophy.
Sometimes from nature.
Sometimes from a question about what it means to be human.
Sometimes it’s an organ.

The practice then becomes a way of moving those ideas and qualities out of the thinking mind and into lived, felt experience.

Not just understanding something intellectually, but sensing it directly in the body.

The forest itself becomes part of the practice too.
Rain on the roof.
Birdsong weaving into stillness.
Firelight flickering beside resting bodies.
Trees moving beyond the yurt walls.

Everything affects the nervous system.
Everything shapes the experience.

These classes are designed around presence, embodiment and connection.

Some people come to stretch.
Some come because something in them is longing to stop bracing and exhale.
This kind of practice tends to find the people who need it.

Some things cannot be understood fully through thinking alone.
They have to be felt in the body.

I guess that’s the type of yoga I teach.

🌀✨SPACE✨🌀

This week, we went on a space exploration, only to discover, that the space within us, and the space around us, is all part of the same vast field.

Space is not separate from you, it is you.

🌀✨NEW CLASS: ETHER; Spacious, Liminal, Still✨🌀

Ether is the element of space. In this practice, we move away from the sometimes relentless “doing” and into spacious “being”.

Here, the physical practice of yoga is not placed at the centre, although we do begin with some gentle movement to support us to drop into the body, and to allow the nervous system to settle.

We will explore the more subtle terrain and practices of yoga, including breath and meditation. We close with an extended yoga Nidra, supporting us to melt into the liminal space between sleep and wakeful awareness.

Join us, to come home to the space that has always been there.

Beginning Tuesday 21st April 2000-2100
Continuing weekly
Now open for booking, link in bio✨🌀

🌀I MET MY BODY🌀

Well, that was unexpected! Halfway through the mesmerising training with , and a poem poured through me. I have never written a poem before, or even had the inclination to do so. But these words emerged in such a way that I sensed they should be shared.

I have shared them in the only way I know how, through the imperfection of a “one and done” recording, and choosing authenticity over hesitation. If there is one thing Ta**ra and Yoga teach us, it is to follow the wise, sometimes quiet, voice within ✨

So here I AM, doing just that.

With great love,

Oh Bali đź«¶ My 5th time stepping on the Island of the Gods, so called for a very good reason. This land has become one of my spiritual homes, the energies, the teachings, the devotion. A land where even cracks on the pavement serve as alters, a reminder that all is sacred.

Week one of the first module complete, we have moved from our fascia, dived into Ta**ra, yielded to Self, held each others hearts, connected with kidneys, cried puddles of tears on the temple floor, traced meridian lines through embryological development, chanted mantra, and have had mantra chant us. I am in awe of this work, the depth profound, and of course, as with any initiation of truth, life can never be the same.

Five weeks to go, hanging out in my back body, weaving webs of connection, inner and outer, micro and macro, through this permeable membrane of skin, REmembering: Everything is everything 🌀❤️‍🔥 xx
