And so another chapter comes to an end.

After 7 months of travel, teaching, learning, and growth in Cambodia, I’m heading home to the UK.

Right now it’s 4am in Dubai airport and I’m reflecting on everything these past months have held, from teaching yoga and wellbeing practices, to completing my Churchill Fellowship report, to meeting wonderful people along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined classes, workshops, retreats, and shared part of the journey with me.

And thank you to friends and family who stayed connected and supportive throughout my travels.

I’ve spent this past week in the UAE with my sister, brother in law, and my little nephew before flying home. I was there when he was born, saw him again on my way out to Cambodia, and now again on my way home from this journey. He’s grown so much already, and it’s been really special spending this time together.

Looking forward to returning to the UK, reconnecting with loved ones, and stepping into the next chapter.

From “I can’t” to I CAN.

And that’s a wrap on the Wellbeing Week at Easy Tiger Cambodia - M’Pai Bay, Koh Rong Sanloem.

Such a beautiful week of yoga, breathwork, meditation, movement, dance, connection and learning.

I absolutely loved collaborating with Laura and bringing together different styles of yoga, workshops, Yoga Nidra, K***a Dance and wellbeing practices throughout the week.

One of the most special parts was watching people grow in confidence, develop their own practice and move from “I can’t” to “I CAN” in their own unique way, whether physically, emotionally or mentally.

And the boat trip around the island was the perfect addition to the experience.

A huge thank you to Josie at Easy Tiger for hosting us in such a stunning beachfront venue and creating such a welcoming space for people to come together, slow down and reconnect.

Very grateful to everyone who joined us and shared this week together.

Cambodia, you’ve been special. 💚

7 months in Cambodia… and now it’s time to leave.

I’ve lived in Kampot, Siem Reap and on the island of Koh Rong Sanloem.

I’ve taught in some beautiful spaces, met wonderful people, shared yoga, meditation and wellbeing practices, and completed my Churchill Fellowship report along the way.

It’s been an incredible chapter, although at times also lonely, confusing and deeply challenging. But as always, I’ve persevered, continued learning, and tried to make the most of every moment.

I’ve missed family and friends very much.

Now it’s time for a visit with my sister, brother-in-law and the baby, before returning to the UK.

Thank you to everyone who joined classes, workshops and conversations over these past months, and to those who supported me through some very difficult times. I will never forget your kindness, love and support. x

Feeling very emotional about this transition.

Midway through the Wellbeing Week at Easy Tiger Cambodia.

Yesterday we focused on resetting the nervous system through breathwork, gentle movement and Yoga Nidra, alongside learning more about the nervous system, the vagus nerve, and creating practical tools to support our own wellbeing and self care.

Today is an ENERGETIC and FUN DAY. 🤩
We begin with Ashtanga Fusion with Laura, followed by a workshop on the Chakras and a guided Chakra Meditation led by me.

At sunset, we’ll move into K***a Dance, flowing to the beautifully curated music of Maya Fiennes.
💃🕺💃

And so we begin…

A beautiful first day at the M’Pai Bay, Easy Tiger Cambodia, Wellbeing Week.

We opened with a gentle morning practice, followed by an exploration of the deeper aspects of yoga. Together, we looked at the 8 Limbs of yoga and how they can guide our lives and shape our personal path of growth.

The sunset session was a perfect way to close the day.

We have a mix of first-time yogis through to those who have completed their 200-hour teacher training. This has created space for open, thoughtful, and engaging discussions.
And blessed to have our four-legged friends join us with their calm energy.

Today begins with breathwork, meditation, and a gentle asana practice. We then move into a workshop on practical wellbeing and self-care tools for everyday life, before closing with Yoga Nidra with Laura.

It is a privilege to lead this week and be a part of each person’s journey. 🤩

I’m on YouTube! 🤩

I recently met Ian and Jack when they visited M’Pai Bay, and attended my yoga classes.
We had some great conversations, resulting in being interviewed for their channel.

We spoke about yoga, wellbeing, mental health, and the path that has brought me here.
From being told I’d be in a wheelchair to travelling solo around the world teaching yoga.

It also touches on my upcoming retreat at Easy Tiger Cambodia.
