So today has been an emotional one. Today was my last class. I’ve been teaching for nearly 21 years. What a privilege to have had this experience and to have met so many wonderful people over the years - many who I’m proud to call friends. Yoga has helped me to grow as a person and has been one of my proudest achievements. I will miss you all at class but hope to share tea and cakes in the future.

The past is already gone. It cannot touch you, hurt you, or change you anymore. The future has not arrived. It has no form, no certainty, no power of its own. Yet the mind keeps traveling back and forth between these two illusions and calls it suffering.

Memory replays what was.
Imagination invents what might be.
And the present moment is left unattended.

This is how pain turns into prolonged suffering.

In Buddhism, this is a central insight: suffering does not come from life itself, but from the mind’s attachment to thoughts. When you relive the past, you reopen old wounds. When you worry about the future, you create pain that has not yet happened.

The body is here.
The breath is here.
Life is happening now.

Peace begins the moment you return to the present. Not by forcing thoughts away, but by gently seeing them for what they are — memories and projections, not reality.

You don’t need to fix yesterday.
You don’t need to control tomorrow.
You only need to be here, now.

Freedom is not found by changing your past or predicting your future.
It is found by waking up to the present moment — the only place where life actually exists.

Did you know that simply raising your legs against the wall for five minutes a day can have powerful effects on your body and mind? This simple yoga pose, often called “Legs Up the Wall” or Viparita Karani, helps reduce stress, improve blood flow, and ease headaches. It’s also great for relieving tired legs, boosting digestion, and supporting lymphatic drainage. Perfect for unwinding after a long day or grounding your body before bed. Sometimes the smallest daily habits bring the biggest health benefits—just breathe, relax, and let gravity do the work.
