Hi friends and lovers,

I hope you are having a beautiful Wednesday. Been in hiding a little (a lot) this week. Had a severe skin reaction and thought I could power through but turns out the doctor thought differently and I’m now on lots of drugs. I cried to him and a few pharmacists and it was quite nice to cry about the pain. And also be validated.

He told me not to work and it’s funny how sometimes we wait so long for someone else to tell us we shouldn’t be working before trusting ourselves. I’ve been in pain for nearly 2 weeks now. Yes I know, in hindsight… Blah blah.

Anyway, no classes for the next few days and I’m using this opportunity to really recover so I won’t be online and I probably won’t reply to emails unless it’s majorly urgent yogi stuff…

Thanks for all the kindness, please don’t offer any advice. X # # #

I have a headache and I know why. I have a headache but I’m not doing anything about it. There is water and I can’t be bothered to drink it.
These are Rosie’s favourite pictures of me and I can see why, it shows my cheekiness. Exploring hips in classes more now and this brings out loads of deep rooted s**t. Sometimes we don’t notice the energy we as teachers and as students bring into the yoga studio. Sometimes we don’t notice the energy we leave with. Good or bad. Hard to say, easy to notice. I did something I regretted recently but then I also know it taught me that I had grown and I am healing. My hips feel tight. Yin on Sundays will be back soon.
How lucky I am that I get to have a part of my mother’s history in me. How interesting I also have a part of my father’s.
Old habits die really bloody hard, but they do. Takes time.

Could be on a beach in the sunshine, quite like being here in London whilst it’s really cold. Embracing hibernation mode. I love it, I love it so much I can’t hide it. I’m doing dry jan and it’s been a great excuse to stay in, I’m also prioritising echo time and not doing work things over the weekend - unless essential. I used to feel bad about it but then I remembered I am a yoga teacher. Went for another massage today and the knot in my left side directly behind my heart is getting softer… how lovely. Fruit obsessions at the moment are blueberries, blackberries and finally made friends with bananas again. We had a lil fall out after I fu**ed up a banana bread. Went to a sound bath today and thankfully there were no gongs. Thank god. Was delightful. Stomach grumbled and I fell asleep.

Mother and I spoke about p**n this morning. We spoke briefly about feminism and we giggled about life. Lee and I spoke at 5:30am on FaceTime and we giggled. I am missing her. She told me I looked beautiful in this dress. I told her I’ve had it for 8 years. I’ve got lots of clothes I saved for post surgery. I can’t believe I waited so long again. I haven’t spoke to my old school friend in a while. I miss him. This morning I wrote from memory, I remembered stuff I blocked out, almost blacked out. A few months ago I was struggling with my own brain, now I’m feeling very content in it. I still don’t know what an adverb is. I made my favourite smoothie with cherries instead of blueberries today. Was still pretty incredible but not quite the same.

If you like sweet things:
2x MASSIVE scoops of vanilla protein powder
2 normal spoons of collagen
1/2 spoon of almond butter
A guesstimate of blueberries or cherries
1 big dash of almond or oat milk
Nice water and ice

Magic.

I use vegan vanilla protein and collagen

Thank you

Girl smashed Barry’s last night. Admittedly it was mostly hot girl incline walking but I did a couple of sprints and I woke up without pain. It’s so confusing. To think, I’ve been in agony daily for years and now suddenly gone. Heaven. Maybe I was in hell.

Secondly, joint pain around menstrual cycle has now disappeared too. Insane.
So I won’t be giving up the yoga teaching any time soon.

I couldn’t recommend a breast reduction enough.

Watch me live out of my fantasy of running around Hyde park in the early morning. I feel like a kid. A really happy kid running free.

Everyone’s out here doing their monthly photos dumps and I can’t be arsed to swipe past the second picture.

Small wins this month include: Being social. Not cancelling social things. Taking some rest from work. Not wearing black all the time. Cooking again.

Not so high moments include:
B***s took a step back. I accidentally rushed into someone whilst running for the tube and I feel bad because I didn’t apologise. Losing NI number. Forgot to take bins out on time.

Monthly pizza = essential. Thank you for providing the monthly demands.

Rule number one: take headphones out. Rule number two: take more pictures not doing handstands.
Rule three: don’t mix wine and cocktails.
Rule four: go on holiday to pose more bikini content.

Took the b***s out yesterday. Ended up walking nearly 17,000 steps! The most I’ve done since surgery. Very exciting!

Today was the first day back at work after a week off and oh my god I missed seeing the crew! And I briefly managed a handstand transition.

Last day of antibiotics tomorrow. Body is feel so much better. I’ve been looked after well and I highly recommend b**b massages…. Hehehehe.

Despite healing and scaring going incredibly well. I have to admit a half defeat and accept that I can’t teach for the next few days.

My own fault for being in the hot room too much too soon and with the hot temperatures outside/on tubes/on bike and sweat it’s just got a little too much for the infection. I don’t want it to get any worse and I tried to pretend it was fine but I’m now on antibiotics.

Despite the incredible healing journey and the support from students, having to cancel classes really leaves a yucky feeling in me but I keep telling myself, it’s short term disappointment for long term reward.

Today I put make up on and went to the high street for a coffee but my ni***es were so fu***ng prominent that everyone was staring and I got really shy I waddled home and jumped straight into bed without my bottom sheet on because I wanted to hide from the world.

HOWEVER, this means I will get on board with all my admin, online classes and organising the parts of my life I’ve neglected…. Tomorrow.

Online crew, let’s have some extra classes next week.

Big love and kisses.

Hi it’s me. Me thinking I’m part of the itty bitty t***y committee. Even though, technically I am still fuller bust.

Look how happy I am! The best decision I ever made!

I even used my personality to flirt this week instead of my t**s. Turns out my personality is 10/10 too!
