It always takes me a day after holding a yoga retreat to fully absorb and reflect on the weekend.
Yoga retreats take a huge amount of planning and time and can feel like a big responsibility to provide the physical, emotional and mental space to support everyone’s expectations and needs, one I don’t take lightly.

A retreat is about connection, the bringing together of people with different stories, energy, experiences. Yoga is the practice that brings everyone together.
Through breath work, meditations, asana and nourishing food the shift really happens.. Time to listen and space to really ask the body and mind how it is and what it needs, not just on the yoga mat but to take into everyday life.
The extra plus side of a retreat are the friendships formed and maintained.

The only way I was able to relinquish my caring roll for my husband and hold this weekend was because of the amazing, selfless act of Col’s closest friend who took over as much of the care as he could. It was alot to ask of a friend. Not just keeping my husband company but.
Helping in and out of bed.
Getting him dressed undressed and help with washing.

Oh a most importantly feeding the cats 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

So a huge thank you to not just our friend but all the friends who support people like us. You are beautiful humans ❤️

The closing of another very special yoga retreat for 12 very special girls The Norfolk Farmhouse Retreats.
I can’t tell you what a pleasure it was share this retreat. All of the retreaters have been on retreats with me before and have all formed such strong friendships, it was like a school reunion as soon as they all were reunited 🥰
The extra cherry on top was the warm autumn sunshine ☀️

I was just reading some poems by Rumi and remembered years and years ago that my husband Colin Howard had been commissioned by his agent to paint the below image to accompany a Rumi poem. ( Rumi is a 12th century Sufi poet)
After rummaging through his etchings 😂 I found it.
I can’t remember the exact poem but am accompanying it by this.

“Life is a balance between holding on and letting go”. Rumi

I’ve been teaching online classes for almost 6 years and love them as much as my in person classes.

I love seeing the yoga spaces that have been created in people’s home. The tiny spaces next to a bed and the big spaces In front of glass atriums.
I love it when people join me from their holidays and I can see sand, mountains or palm trees.
I love it people where their PJ’s to practice or fall asleep in Savasana and I can leave them there.
I love that there are oodles of props on hand from pillows, cushions and blankets to gather close.
I love the furry friends who curl up or take over the yoga mat during practice.
I love seeing being invited into people’s homes and sharing this beautiful practice.
I love that although we are all in separate spaces that it feels like a community.

There are many reasons why some people prefer an online class offering.

Sometimes it’s an extra class on top of a regular group class.
For some it’s due to lack of transport and timings and for Some it helps the anxieties and lack of confidence that may prevent attending a group class.
For others it’s preference of a personal practice but with the guidance and structure of a live class.

Occasionally people may find they are the only one that’s logged on and enjoy a 1-2-1, I love those classes too.

If you would like to join my online yoga classes please email me [email protected] and enjoy your first class for free.
