Turtle Yoga

How are you doing this Sunday evening? 🤍

​Sometimes we can get the Sunday blues and find it hard to enjoy the final hours of the weekend when we are worrying about the new week ahead. 🫣

​My kids have been on school holidays, so Monday will be a return to routine and back to the school runs for me! I'm starting to mentally process what needs doing for the start of the new school term. I'm also so aware that this will be the final term before the summer holidays—the last term of Year 4 for my eldest, and the last ever term of nursery for my youngest! 😢 time flies.

​If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed tonight too, just try and take a bit of time out for yourself before bed. Maybe a few rounds of conscious breathwork, writing down a positive affirmation for the week, or simply getting an early night. 🌙 😴

​As always, I will be here this week if you need some dedicated time to reset and breathe.

​Space to breathe this week:
✨ Tues: 7.15pm – 8.15pm
✨ Weds: 7.00pm – 8.00pm
✨ Thurs: 7.00pm – 8.00pm
✨ Fri: 11.30am – 12.30pm
✨ Sun: 10.45am – 11.45am

​Wishing you all a gentle and good week ahead,

Yoga, a beautiful venue, and a table full of delicious food... sounds like the perfect Sunday, right? ☀️🧘‍♀️ 🥘

​With June flying by, I am so excited to welcome you my Mini Retreat at Soul Wellness soon! 😊

It’s going to be the perfect afternoon to press pause, breathe, and deeply relax. 😌

Spaces are nearly full, but there's still time to grab a last-minute spot and join the magic. ✨️

As we head toward the heart of summer, here is your gentle reminder to carve out time that truly nourishes you. ✨

​Not the rushed kind of self-care squeezed into a busy day, but the deep, spacious kind that lets your whole system exhale. 🕊️

​If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down and breathe a little deeper, I have three beautiful upcoming sessions designed to help you do just that:

​🌞 Summer Mini-Retreat
​When: Sunday, 21st June | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
​Where: Soul Wellness Hub, Sowerby Bridge
​The Vibe: A slow, expansive yoga flow created for the energy of the summer solstice, followed by a light seasonal buffet lunch. We'll close the afternoon with a soothing live Gong Bath with Harry. A perfect chance to pause at the height of the year and let your mind soften.

​😴 No-Ga Session
​When: Wednesday, 8th July
​The Vibe: 45 minutes of pure, unapologetic rest. No stretching, no effort, no expectations. Just blankets, stillness, and the kind of quiet that resets you from the inside out.

​🧘‍♀️Yoga Strap Workshop
​When: Sunday, 23rd August
​The Vibe: A playful, confidence-building intro to using a yoga strap. Learn how it can help you stretch deeper, align better, and add a fun challenge to familiar poses. We’ll finish with restorative, strap-supported positions to unwind completely. (Perfect for both beginners and regular yogis!)

​💡 Ready to give yourself a moment that is just for you?

How are you actually doing today?

​It's day 2 of , and often by Tuesday or Wednesday, the "to-do" list starts to feel a bit louder.
If you’re feeling the mid-week slump or your mind is racing, try this 30-second grounding technique right where you are:
😌​Unclench your jaw.
😌​Drop your shoulders away from your ears.
😌​Take one deep breath—fill your belly, hold for a second, and sigh it out loud.

​Sometimes, we just need a reminder that it’s okay to pause.

​If 30 seconds isn't enough, I’m hosting a dedicated Relax & Unwind session this Friday the 15th. We’ll be using restorative poses and Yoga Nidra to give your nervous system the deep rest it deserves.
​No goals, no sweat, just stillness. 🤍

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately, the idea of stepping into a studio can feel like "one more thing" on a heavy to-do list.

​But here’s the truth: Yoga isn't about how you look; it’s about how you feel.

​In my classes, there is:
💚​No pressure to be flexible.
💚​No judgment on where your mind is at.
💚​No expectation for you to do anything other than breathe.

​Taking that first step onto the mat is often the hardest part, but it’s also the moment you start reclaim a little bit of space for yourself. Whether you move through the whole flow or spend sixty minutes in Child’s Pose—you are welcome here. 🧘‍♀️

Make some time this week for you and your mental health and join me on the mat

Tues 7.15-8.15pm
Weds 7-8pm
Thurs 7-8pm
Fri 11.30am-12.30pm
Sun 10.45-11.45am

*Plus this Friday is also relax and unwind 7-8pm*
