THE SPACE HE’S LEFT

It makes me fold inwards.

Like the edges of my world have got smaller and I’ve somehow got stuck inside myself.

There’s this huge empty space where so much of my life used to be.

He was my dog. My little companion through everything. He was woven into every thread of my life.

And without him, the whole shape of my life feels like it’s come apart.

But then I’ll be outside and feel the air on my skin, the warmth of the sun, the first signs of autumn in the trees.

And for that moment, I remember that everything is always changing.

And sometimes I’ll hear myself laughing.

Life will grow around the space he’s left. I just don’t know what that looks like yet.

Saying goodbye to this one today. ❤️

My little mate. My shadow. My reason for walking miles and miles through fields and woods, whatever the weather.

We've had quite a life together, Cooper.
I'm going to miss you more than I can put into words.

But I know it's time, and I'll be right beside you all the way.

Love you, my little Doodoo. ❤️

This feels SO good.

I love spending time practising that body–mind connection. Getting out of my head and back into my body always seems to feed the soul.

I love creating that feeling when the whole body works together, rather than lots of separate muscles doing separate things.

Practising strength with that spring-loaded potential for movement to arise.

Like I could just spring out of this shape and go somewhere.

Everything awake. Everything connected. ✨

Sometimes yoga class looks like this… 🐾
A little visitor joined us today.
Didn’t follow instructions apart from downface dog and savasana of course.
He loved watching everyone and really picked up on the vibe of the class and the sound of my voice 😘🐾 😄
Calm, curious, completely present.
Not a bad reminder of how to practise.

Morning admin on the sofa…
laptop open, April bookings on my mind,
and Cooper tucked up beside me on his heated pad 🤍
I really do love these precious moments.
These are the moments I don’t rush past anymore.

We’re always working with gravity.
The question is how we support ourselves within it.
Less holding myself up…
more letting the ground come up to meet me.

A quiet set-up for a one-to-one this morning.
Over time, it’s not the big, dramatic changes that matter most
— it’s the subtle ones.
A bit more awareness
A bit more strength
A sense of support through the body in movement
And gradually, an easier feeling of standing a little more upright.
It all adds up.

Cooper turns another year older today. It’s also a week since we lost Shep, and my mum’s anniversary as well. Life has a funny way of stacking things up.
I’m really grateful for this brown boy. And I’m really missing the Sheppy 💖✨️💖✨️
