🍒 A thoughtful gift from a patient - delicious cherries!

Here are a few reasons to enjoy them while they’re in season:

💚 Rich in nutrients
Cherries provide vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, potassium and fibre, all of which support overall health and wellbeing.

🫐 Packed with antioxidants
They’re rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols – plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect our cells from damage.

🏃‍♀️ May support exercise recovery
Some studies suggest cherries, particularly tart cherries, may help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and aid recovery after strenuous activity.

😴 May promote more restful sleep
Cherries naturally contain small amounts of melatonin, serotonin and the amino acid tryptophan, which may contribute to improved sleep quality.

🩸 Low glycaemic index
Cherries have a relatively low glycaemic index, meaning they’re less likely to cause a rapid spike in blood glucose levels when eaten as part of a balanced meal or snack.

Easy ways to enjoy them:

✨ Add a handful to Greek yoghurt with nuts & seeds.
✨ Toss into porridge or overnight oats.
✨ Add to salads with rocket, feta and walnuts.
✨ Simply enjoy them as a naturally sweet snack.

Seasonal produce often tastes its best and can be a lovely way to add more variety to your diet. 🍒

💡 As always, nutrition is about your overall eating pattern rather than any single food!

What a lovely Sunday morning we got to spend together!

Grateful to everyone that heard the calling for a much needed balanced practice and joined my Yin-to-Yang Summer Yoga Workshop yesterday!

From immersive Yin poses to warming up flows, from igniting the inner fire to enjoying rejuvenating Yoga Nidra..we had it all!

What a great community we have built! Looking forward to practising more with you soon 😊

There really is nothing that brings me a greater sense of calm than being on the water... 💙

How lucky are we to have scenery like this right on our doorstep. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As summer invites us into its fire energy, it's just as important to honour the water element too—to soften, slow down, and find the balance that keeps us from burning out.

I'm so happy to share that this Sunday's Yin to Yang Workshop is now fully booked. Thank you to everyone who felt the call for a nourishing, balanced practice in the heart of midsummer. I can't wait to share the space with you. ✨

What a privilege to have and Julie Hanson yoga join us over the weekend, sharing their wisdom, experience, and the heart behind Seasonal Yoga.

With just one module left, it's hard to believe we're already approaching the end of this journey (and a start of a bigger one for our trainees!) In just a few weeks, our Stirling trainees will be graduating, and it's been wonderful to watch their confidence, knowledge, and practice grow along the way.

Our next Teacher Training course in Stirling is starting mid-September - get in touch [email protected]!

All taking place here in our gorgeous town centre studio The Yoga Tree Stirling 💚

Happy Summer Solstice! 🌞 🧘‍♀️

It was absolutely beautiful to connect & move with everyone this morning for our outdoor Yoga practice - it was THE best way to officially welcome the Summer Season!

Together, we managed to raise an incredible £130 for Strathcarron Hospice, supporting the invaluable work they do in our community every single day.

Look at the happy Seasonal Yoga Teacher and the lovely faces of the 12 amazing Yogis in the sunshine after enjoying their practice out in the open - clearly I need to stick to teaching Yoga and stay away from photography 🤣🤦‍♀️

Thank you all for being such amazing human beings and showing up this morning. Enjoy this gorgeous day!!

What a lovely way to start my Saturday — teaching a lovely group of people at a private event in a beautiful location out in nature. ☀️🌿

Between the gentle breeze and the gorgeous sunshine, we had the opportunity to breathe, move mindfully, release tension, have a laugh, and practise kindness and compassion through metta meditation. 💛
