May Reflection 🌙

May has been a quiet and deeply nourishing month for me.

I completed my 21-Day Yogini Challenge — not perfectly, but with awareness and my whole heart. Waking up early for my kriyas, mantra j*p, pranayama and yoga, then ending the day with a simple evening sadhana, brought a sense of stillness and discipline back into my life.

Some days flowed beautifully, while others were more challenging, but I focused on showing up with kindness rather than force and slowly reconnecting with myself.

A big part of this month has been understanding the female body more deeply — through moon phases, feminine energy, prana, koshas, mudras, hormones and the natural rhythms we move through as women.

Attending Dr. Newson’s menopause seminar in Ilkley was eye-opening and made me reflect on how much wisdom our yogic and Ayurvedic traditions already carried around women’s health. What I’m discovering is that both modern science and traditional Indian wisdom have an important place, so I’ve been learning from both perspectives to better understand hormones, nourishment, doshas and overall wellbeing.

I also finally announced this year’s International Yoga Day event at Valley Gardens, which feels especially meaningful after last year’s beautiful experience.

The last week of May has been spent in Oxfordshire looking after our friends’ dogs, attending my cousin’s engagement and trying to survive the unexpected heatwave ☀️😅

And in a very real perimenopause moment, I somehow managed to lose my glasses thanks to brain fog. Ten days later, I still have no idea where they are! 🤓😂

Today also marks the final session of my 10-week online Sunday yoga journey. It has been a beautiful experience filled with connection, growth, reflection and trust. I’m grateful to everyone who joined me and allowed me to be part of their practice.

Thank you, May. You were very kind. 🌸

April Reflection 🌿

Spring is here! cherry blossoms 🌸, lighter days, warmer air and yet, this month held a different kind of pace for me.

We had the most amazing holiday in Italy. Hearts full, wandering through Rome, Tuscany, the quiet beauty of Pienza, Easter in Florence, and finally Pisa.
Do you ever visit a place and feel, I could live here? Pienza felt like that for us.🇮🇹 We even missed our flight, which gifted us an extra day by the beach, which was lovely.

Coming back home felt different.

Life picked up again - work, home, school runs, yoga classes and somewhere in between, we finally got the roof and fascias fixed after needing some tlc.
But my energy didn’t quite match the pace.

A long cycle, a hormonal dip with perimenopause, and the shift back into routine… my body was asking me to slow down. So I listened.
I showed up where I needed to, and let go of the rest.

Social media, reels, the pressure to keep up, I paused it all. Balancing everything can feel overwhelming at times, and I’m learning to choose peace over pushing.

March felt full and outward.
April has been slower, quieter, more inward.

And I allowed myself that space to recover. It gave me time to reflect, regain my energy and come back stronger.

Now, I’m gently finding my rhythm again. Back on the mat daily from the 25th, as a student first 🤍
Returning to my morning and evening sadhana, feeling stronger within.

April is always special, my mum’s and my mother-in-law’s birthdays.
This year even more so, as it was my mum’s milestone 70th. I really wished I could have been there with her.

Thank you, April for the contrast, the pause, and the clarity.

Let’s see what May brings ✨

22/04/2026

Perimenopause has become a quiet teacher for me.

Not something to fix or rush through…
but something to understand and be with.

Through it, I’ve been reminded of Santosha — one of the niyamas in Ashtanga Yoga.
The practice of contentment.

Not as a philosophy… but as something to live.
To accept what is present without resistance.

There is a softness in that acceptance.
A steadiness in simply allowing life to be what it is.

And I’m learning that this… is also yoga.
