✨EARTH✨
In Chinese Medicine, a fifth season is recognised.. the season of LATE SUMMER, and the element of EARTH. When I discovered this, I finally understood why I had always felt unsettled at this time of year… when we are no longer in summer but not yet in autumn … we are left in this liminal space straddling two seasons that don’t follow one another directly, and I had always found it a confusing and abrupt end to the summer.

Acknowledging this fifth and separate season gives us a space to land from the high yang energy of summer, to connect with the Earth, to ground, and to prepare for the inward draw of autumn that lies ahead, but is not yet quite here.

LATE SUMMER is a transitional season marking the move from warmth to cool, from light to dark, from school holidays to term time, and I embrace the permission to slow down, to become quieter.. to feel my feet on the ground and be thankful to this beautiful EARTH and the gifts that it provides, this season more than any other.

This EARTH element energy will run through my classes this month, focussing on bringing our energy down, grounding and stabilising, and nourishing ourselves so that we have strong foundations to see us through this transitional season of LATE SUMMER.. the space in-between….Join me here:

I’ve been teaching this Pregnancy Yoga class at the Wellington Centre for nearly 8 years. I love everything about it - the beautiful room with a view of the sea, the incredible women that join me there, and teach me as I teach them, the quiet but strong energy that descends on the room as these women drop into themselves.

I love seeing these yoga mamas become more centred, grounded and intuitive with each week. I love holding space for the babies inside those mamas. It’s a magical energy and I never lose the awe and wonder of it all ✨🤰🏼🙏

✨PREGNANCY YOGA & BIRTH PREPARATION✨

✨Me and Kat .. One of my favourite people in the world!✨

Kat and I met at a pregnancy swimming class in Brighton when we were pregnant with our first borns.. and they are now turning 18!!Our first meeting was a bit like love at first sight.. we spotted each other amongst the group of other pregnant mums, and immediately knew we were going to be friends for life. From that day on we were inseparable during our Brighton years, raising our kids together, walking the downs, chatting non stop on the edge of playgrounds, dancing when we got the chance of an evening out, even spending Christmases together.
We both trained as yoga teachers completely independently of each other and then Kat made the brave and exciting leap to emigrate to Spain and created her very own yoga retreat space. The sadness of losing my friends’ geographical closeness sweetened by having the most beautiful of places to visit in the Catalan mountains.

Although living over 1000 miles apart, our friendship is closer than ever. We talk, listen, laugh, cry and plan over the phone.. and when we do get precious real life time together it fills me up, leaving me a little more grounded, a little more grateful, a little more me… and those first born boys are still best mates too :-)
Why am I telling you all this? Because Kat and I are joining forces to bring you WILD ALCHEMY RETREATS - gentle and nourishing yoga retreats that offer respite from the pace and stresses of daily life, offering time to unravel, ground and come back to yourself.

Our first retreat is happening this October at the seasonal threshold of late summer and autumn. The perfect time for some late summer sun, reflection time and self-care ahead of the winter season.

We are looking forward to sharing our yoga practice with you, but also to share Kat’s peaceful oasis at Nomada Retreat, which offers it’s own practice of slowing down, surrounded by nature’s wild beauty.
This 3 night retreat runs 9-12th October.

We are so looking forward to sharing this with you!

Hello 👋
I thought I should introduce myself .. I’m Mae, the face behind Circle & Tide.

I’ve been teaching yoga for about 12 years now, first in Brighton and then in Hastings since 2018.

My teaching has evolved with my own journey through life. I love tuning into the seasons and am fascinated by the connection between the cycles & rhythms in our bodies and those of the universe and natural world around us. This shapes my teaching, along with inspiration drawn from my experience and training in Scaravelli inspired yoga, Qi Gong, Contemporary Dance and Chinese Medicine wisdom.

I’ve worked for many years with pregnant and postnatal women and their birth partners, as a yoga teacher, doula, antenatal educator and Birth Trauma Release facilitator.

When I’m not teaching yoga or supporting women perinatally, I love the sun and the sea, music and dancing, making and growing. I love walking in nature and talking with friends. I love exploring new places and re-visiting old favourites.

Yoga has helped me in ways that I never could have imagined when I first practiced as a teenager. It has helped me to understand myself. It has helped me to heal and to grow, teaching me about my body along the way. It keeps me constantly learning and inspired. It grounds me, nourishes me and brings me closer to a sense of wholeness.

I hope to see you in one of my classes sometime so that I can share this yoga magic with you. ✨

More exciting things are in the pipeline for this year so watch this space!!!
