🧶 A little stitch of calm. 🤍

A little update on my knitting project… one stitch at a time, it’s slowly taking shape!

But knitting is about more than just creating something beautiful. It’s also about slowing down, taking a break from screens, and giving your mind a moment to breathe.

✨ It can help you unwind and relax.
✨ The repetitive movements can feel calming and mindful.
✨ It encourages patience, focus and creativity.
✨ And there’s something so satisfying about making something with your own hands.

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, sometimes it’s nice to simply sit down, pick up your needles, and enjoy the moment. 🧶

Slow down. Breathe. Knit a little. 🤍

Do you knit, crochet, or have another little hobby that helps you relax?

Goodbye September 🍂

A month of changes, new beginnings, a holiday, my son leaving home for university, new faces in my yoga class and so many emotions.

There were moments of relaxation, intense moments, good things and a little disappointment too. But I guess that’s all part of the journey. 🤍

I love looking back through my photos from time to time. Life moves so quickly that we often reach the end of a month thinking we haven’t really done that much.

Then you look at the photos… and realise how much has actually happened, how many people you’ve met and how many emotions you’ve lived through.

And for all of it, I’m grateful. 🍂

Thank you, September.
Welcome October 🍁

See you on the mat, Wednesday evening. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Mia Nonna diceva……Impara l’arte e mettila da parte. 🧶

My grandma used to say this to me.

It makes me think about all the things we learn in life without knowing where they will take us.

I learnt to knit many years ago, never imagining that one day I would be making and wearing my own jumpers.

And yoga was much the same.

I started practising when I was very young, never knowing that it would one day become such an important part of my life and my work.

When I moved to Scotland and felt a little lost, finding a yoga community helped me find my way again. It gave me connection, friendships and, in a way, a feeling of home.

Sometimes the things we learn seem small or unimportant at the time.

We never know when they might come back into our lives in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. ❤️

🌿 A little break, but your practice doesn’t have to stop! 🧘‍♀️

While we’re taking a short summer break, you can keep moving, breathing and looking after your body and mind at home. Even a few minutes of mindful movement can help you stay connected to your practice and keep you feeling good. ✨

Our classes will resume on 9th September, ready to start a new season together! 💫

If you’d like to join us, you can already book your September class through the website and have your place ready.

I can’t wait to see you back on the mat! 🤍👇👇👇

Tonight the sun goes dark over Scotland. ☀️🌑

Solar eclipse = new moon energy. Doing gets eclipsed by being, just for a moment.

Before the sky darkens, ask yourself:
what am I ready to let go of?

The sun always comes back. 🌗

Who wouldn’t want to be on holiday all the time? ✈️☀️

These photos are from last week in London, and yes… I could definitely get used to this! 😂

But as much as we love holidays, travelling, eating out and enjoying life, there’s something we shouldn’t put on holiday too:

Taking care of our body.

And no, you don’t need to exercise every single day or spend hours in the gym.

What really makes the difference is consistency.

Showing up for yourself regularly.
Moving your body.
Building strength.
Taking time to breathe and reconnect.

Even 3 days a week can make a difference when you keep doing it.

Because reaching your goals isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being consistent. 🤍

So enjoy your holidays… but don’t forget to come back to your body. 🧘‍♀️

What are you committing to this week?

Most people think, “I know how to breathe… I’ve been doing it my whole life.” 🤷‍♀️

But breathing well is something we can learn.

Here are 3 common breathing mistakes:

❌ 1. Thinking there’s nothing to learn.
Breathing is automatic, but breathing well is a skill that can improve your posture, movement and overall well-being.

❌ 2. Breathing only into your upper chest and forgetting about your diaphragm.
Shallow chest breathing can create unnecessary tension. Learning to use your diaphragm helps you breathe more efficiently and feel more relaxed.

❌ 3. Not listening to your body.
Your body is always sending you signals. Your breath helps you slow down, notice them and respond with more awareness.

✨ Breathing isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about moving better, feeling better and living better.

💬 Which of these mistakes do you recognise in yourself? Let me know in the comments!

Can Yoga and Hypopressive Training work together? 🤔

The answer is… absolutely! ✨

🧘‍♀️ Yoga helps improve mobility, strength, balance and body awareness.

🌿 Hypopressive Training focuses on your deep core, pelvic floor, posture and breathing.

Together, they create a powerful combination to help you move better, feel stronger and reconnect with your body—without high-impact exercise.

💬 I’d love to hear from you!
