This week W is for Warrior and Witness. The battle is real but the yoga tradition tells us our reality is not. Join me this week to find the Warrior within, to slay our ignorance and to wake up to the Witness within X

W is for ... W is for Warrior and the Witness In our physical practice this week we will play with Warrior I, II and III. These poses are named after the mythical warrior Virabhadra, Warrior I represents the rising up, Warrior II the taking aim and Warrior III shooting the arrow in retaliation for the death of h...

As usual I have been forgetting to post on Facebook and so we have skipped many letters in our Lessons in Love theme but, I want to share this one with the world. This week U is for Urdhva Danurasana and the Unknown. Click the link to read the email or to book onto a class - we have a full schedule this week including Bank Holiday Monday

U is for ... Urdhva Dhanurasana & The Unknown I think most of our fear fundamentally comes from the Unknown. Not knowing what is around the corner, living in a heightened state, often fearing the worst. It means we avoid unfamiliar situations, spend time over preparing and gripping onto this need to be in contro...

Last week we Moved Mindfully and this week N is for ... Navel Radiation. The seat of our power, our will, out self identity AND the primordial sensation you get when you move from that place! Click the link below to read this week's email or to browse my website / book your spot

N is for ... Navel Radiation Yogis this week we are moving through a core based flow and I would like us to sit / move with two concepts. Firstly, the navel is the seat of our individual identity which is formed between the ages of 18 months and 4 years. As we begin to develop a sense of will, a desire to explor...

This week we've been Landing in Lotus but more importantly than achieving a really difficult posture (i.e Lotus / Padmasana) is, can we stay fully landed in our body without checking out / disassociating when things get uncomfortable? Click the link to read, browse or book X

L is for ... Landing in Lotus Yogis this week we are playing with a hip opening sequence and, in some classes, there will be the possibility of Landing in Lotus. My intention however is not for you to achieve Lotus pose but, during some potentially uncomfortable hip opening postures, to have you land fully in yo...

My experience of Kundalini and my love affair with my Kidneys. Click the link to read, book, or browse X

K is for ... I was so happy when I realised Kidneys and Kundalini started with the same letter (I know ... I’m easily pleased ) because these two things simultaneously had a huge impact on my life. I’ve had some really inspiring teachers so far within my Yoga journey, but the one who impacted my life the mos...

This week we look at a dynamic surrendering as we combine Ishvara Pranidhana with a clear Intention and work towards Inversions. Click the link to read, to browse or to book a class X

I is for ... Ishvara Pranidhana, Intention & Inversions Yoga is the embodied realisation of your Divinity, that you are everything and that everything is you. To wake up to this Self realisation can happen instantaneously but mostly it takes work. The practices of Yoga, of which there are many, are that work.

H is for ... Hinduism & Hanumanasana. A delicious flow this week that takes us towards full splits pose and how Yoga pre dates all organised religion.

H is for ... Hanumanasana & Hinduism I tried starting a class in a church once - naming no names - and wasn't allowed to because Yoga is Hinduism and a practice that celebrated one God was not allowed to be carried out in a place that worshipped another. I have respect for people with religious beliefs but I thi...
