I love to keep a journal. I jot down things that come to me in meditation, or I write about personal things that I'm working through. My online Journal pages will include some of these musings, as well as suggestions to help you to create more calm, balance and serenity in all aspects of your life. There's four sections to explore so ... Come on in, the water's lovely....
On the last day of June 2020, here in Wales, we may be dreaming of Beach Yoga but we still have a long way to go until we can be in groups situations ie Yoga Classes! So, for now, it has to be Zoom!

As a yoga teacher, I find that most people struggle with seated meditation because the mind is too busy. So, a great practice to overcome that hurdle is to lie down with Yoga Nidra, a sleep-based meditation technique.

I teach Hatha Yoga to unwind the tensions that build up in the outer, physical body. I teach Pranayama (breathing techniques) to create more space on the inside. I teach Meditation to access the wisdom of the higher self. I teach Yoga Nidra to teach the lost art of rest and to initiate deep change and deep peace.

Yoga is for everyone. YES! ... but you have to...
A. Step out of your comfort zone and try it...
B. Once you get it, keep doing it... even if you have missed classes, come back. Begin again.
C. Realise that it is a two-way street, your yoga teacher turns up every week with a heart full of wanting to make a difference, but it doesn't work if you're not there!
In 2019 I have been running a monthly meditation class and a monthly yoga nidra class. For 2020 I have decided to combine the two and include some gentle yoga to help us all wind down from a busy week and glide into the weekend.

Autumn is the season of change, transformation and slowing down, but also a time when the plans we made earlier in the year are bearing fruit. We can see this in nature, the leaves are curling and drying out, the air is cooler, the ground is wetter, and blackberries and sloes are in the hedgerows.

I love to teach Yoga Nidra, but my story with this practice started years ago, in a dance school, under a blanket, listening to an Indian guru with my first yoga teacher.
Music is an integral part of creating a relaxing ambience in my yoga classes. It helps me to create a nurturing, safe, relaxing space for our practice. You can take my playlists with you by following me on Spotify!
