🌸 Gentle Holistic Yoga | Thursday 5:00pm 🌸

This beautiful painting was created by my Dad.

As I looked at it today, I was reminded that flowers don’t rush to bloom. They unfold in their own time, responding to the seasons, the light, and the conditions around them.

Perhaps we’re not so different.

Tomorrow’s Gentle Holistic Yoga class is an opportunity to pause, soften, and honour where you are right now—without needing to fix, change or strive for anything.

Through gentle movement, mindful breathing and relaxation, we’ll create space to reconnect with ourselves and the wisdom of simply being.

🌸Suitable for all levels
🌻Gentle movement and breath awareness
🌹Deep rest and relaxation

Sometimes growth doesn’t look like pushing forward.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down enough to listen.

Thursday | 5:00pm–6:15pm

“I don’t know if I’m melting or floating.”

A woman said these words to me this week as she was leaving a yoga class, and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since.

It’s been a big week in many ways, and yet it wasn’t one of the bigger moments that stayed with me. It was this simple reflection on that feeling we sometimes have after practice…

When the breath deepens.

When our shoulders soften.

When we realise just how much we’ve been carrying.

Perhaps yoga invites us to do both.

To melt a little — softening our armour and loosening our grip on all that we’ve been holding.

And to float a little too — remembering that we don’t have to carry the full weight of the world on our own.

I’ve been receiving some incredibly beautiful messages from people sharing how much these weekly reflections have been supporting them, particularly after last week’s email exploring the many faces of silence. Thank you for reading, replying and allowing these little offerings to land where they’re needed.

If you’d like to receive my weekly yoga reflections directly to your inbox, I’d love to welcome you. They arrive each week as a gentle pause — a blend of yoga, wellbeing, mindfulness and reflections on being human.

You can subscribe via the link in my bio/website.

And if life has been feeling full lately, there is still space in this week’s classes. Whether you join us on the mat or in the chair, you don’t need to arrive calm, flexible or “ready.”

You are simply invited and warmly welcomed to arrive just as you are.

Perhaps together we’ll discover whether we’re melting… floating… or a little bit of both.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
Michelle 🤍

A little note to my community 🌿💛

I’ll be taking a gentle step back from social media for a while to create more space for presence, rest, family, nature, and the quieter parts of life and practice.

My classes are still continuing, and I’ll be sharing weekly updates, reflections, and class information through my email list instead.

If you’d like to stay connected, receive weekly yoga emails, or book classes, you can visit my website:

Thank you for being here and for supporting this beautiful community. 💛

Today, through my work at Liberty, I had the privilege of standing alongside our incredible team to honour the women whose lives were taken through domestic and family violence over the past year. 💔

It was quiet, moving, and deeply felt.
Each woman’s name spoken aloud.
Each life remembered with a rose, compassion and care.

As someone who supports women in recovery and healing from DFV, I hold close the stories, strength, grief, and courage of so many women. Today is a reminder of why this work matters so deeply.

Holding space for remembrance, compassion, and hope for change 💜

A gentle note for your week 🪷

There’s something I’ve been reflecting on lately… how important it is to have small moments in our week where we can simply pause.

To breathe.
To soften.
To come back to ourselves.

I’ve been continuing to hold space in different ways recently — nature walks, workshops, in person classes and within the Moving with Grief community — and I’m always reminded how powerful it is to be in spaces where nothing needs to be fixed… where we’re simply allowed to be just as we are. 🌈

For those who are part of my in-person yoga classes, you hopefully received an email with some important updates…if you would like to be kept in the loop regarding classes please send me a DM

And for those here in this wider community — I’m so grateful you’re here 🤍 🪷

I’m also slowly creating some gentle, pre-recorded classes for those who prefer to practise at home or aren’t local.

If this is something you feel drawn to, you’re very welcome to send me a message — I’d love to include you as I build this offering.

🪷

And here is a small practice to take into your week:

Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.
Close your eyes (or soften your gaze).
And simply notice your breath… just as it is.

Nothing to change. Nothing to do.
Just being with yourself.

💛

With love,
Michelle

If your week (or inbox) feels full… but something still feels missing…

Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, a little disconnected… or quietly craving deeper connection.

This might be for you.

Each week, I share a heartfelt email with my community —
blending yoga, real life, and simple ways to come back to yourself.

It’s a space for reflection, gentle guidance, and small, meaningful practices you can carry into your everyday life.

A place to pause… breathe… and reconnect.

No overwhelm. No pressure.
Just something real to land in.
