Greetings everybody, ☺️ love to all.

I've been taking a break from Social Media recently, but today I'm back to share something with you as its the Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day tomorrow.

I’ve created a free 17-page Summer Solstice Companion to honour the longest day and International Yoga Day.

It brings together some of the practices I’ve shared in past Solstice workshops, including Sun Salutations, a gentler stretch practice, stories of the Sun, the Gayatri Mantra, reflection, deep rest and a simple ritual.

You can access it here:

I hope it brings a little light and steadiness to your weekend.

Warmest Blessings, Alison ###

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year and a natural moment to pause, reflect and honour the life-giving light of the Sun. Created alongside International Yoga Day, this 17-page printable companion offers gentle ways to explore the season through movement, mantra, story, reflection, r...

As we move towards this New Moon, the energy may feel a little heightened, stirred, or unsettled.

At this time of year, nature is full of movement. Blossom is falling, fruit is beginning to form, bees are gathering, and the green world is growing quickly.

It can be beautiful.

It can also remind us how much change is happening beneath the surface.

This week, a small iris in my garden caught my attention. It had been transplanted from my mum and dad’s garden next door — uprooted, disturbed, and asked to find itself again in new ground.

And here it is now: small, steady, perfectly formed, and blooming in her own time.

It felt like a quiet teaching.

In yoga, we keep returning to the body, the breath, and the ground beneath us. We practise softening what is tense, releasing what we no longer need to hold, and coming back to centre.

These simple practices can support us when life feels fast, uncertain, or full of change.

I’ve written a new blog reflecting on this New Moon, the turning of the season, Beltane, nature as our guide, and how we stay rooted as life moves forward.

You’ll also find links to my May New Moon Companion and my free Step Back • Tune Out • Drop In pause practices.

And this Saturday, I’m holding Rest, Release, Restore — an afternoon of gentle yoga, rest, sound, and deep relaxation.

There are currently 2 spaces left, and it feels like a very timely space for this New Moon weekend.

A beautiful thank you to those who shared the Spring Equinox workshop with me yesterday.

Spending time creating balance within ourselves and giving space for the body, breath, mind and spirit to come into union, felt especially meaningful.

Closing with the mandala and the offering of love and healing, out into the world was a beautiful way to complete the morning, particularly at a time when it feels so needed. ✨💖🙏🕯️✨

Hello lovely people, I hope you are enjoying your Friday.

Today is a special day in the turning of the Wheel of the Year, - The Spring Equinox. A point of stillness and balance.

Across the natural world this point acts as a hinge. Light and darkness meet. Winter loosens its grip, Spring gathers strength and new life prepares to emerge.

Take a look outside for a moment... Nature isn't rushing this change.

We too can take our cues from nature. Taking a moment or two to bring our attention back to the rhythms that support steadiness.

To pause, notice, breathe. To notice where life feels balanced and where small adjustments may bring us greater ease.

If you'd like to join me tomorrow and share some time to slow down, tune in, and gently realign your body, mind, and spirit through yoga, ritual, symbolism, and seasonal reflection there are a few spaces left in my Spring Equinox workshop tomorrow.

Message me if you’d like to join or follow the link in the comments below.

Hello my lovely,

It's pretty clear that many of us are feeling the intensity of the world right now.

The constant flow of information moves quickly through our days and through the nervous system.

One of the simplest things we can do in times like this is to pause...

Step Back -from the noise, Tune Out -of the story & Drop Back into ourselves. 😊

Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing a series of small pause practices like this one. 👇

Each is an invitation to slow the pace for a moment, - to notice, breathe, and return to your own centre.

You may find that even a few minutes of stepping back gently changes the rhythm of your day.

Sometimes the smallest pauses are the ones that bring us back to ourselves.

With much love. Alison .x.

Hello my lovely,

Many people are feeling the intensity of the world right now.

The pace of daily life often carries a lot through the nervous system - constant information, responsibilities, and decision-making.

The Spring Equinox offers a natural moment in the year to pause and return to balance.

On Saturday 21st March (10am–1pm) I’m offering a Spring Equinox Yoga Workshop exploring balance through the chakra system — the body’s energy centres that support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

Together we’ll spend the morning in practices that help the body settle and rebalance, including:

• mindful yoga and gentle movement
• breathwork that supports nervous system regulation
• simple energy practices connected to the chakras
• sound and vibration
• guided visualisation
• deep rest and integration

The practices are steady, accessible, and suitable for all levels of experience.

The Equinox marks a moment in the year when day and night stand in equal balance. It is a powerful seasonal threshold and a supportive time to bring attention back to your own inner balance as spring begins to unfold.

Saturday 21st March
10am – 1pm

Today the Moon enters its new phase, and this one arrives alongside a solar eclipse and the turning of the Chinese New Year.

You might notice the atmosphere feels concentrated. Perhaps even pressurised.

This New Moon feels different. It isn’t asking for action. It’s asking for steadiness.

To settle into the stillness before motion begins and to remain centred while momentum gathers.

Not gripping the reins.
Not being pulled.
But steady in the seat.

Nothing needs to rush.

If this moment feels intense, you’re not imagining it. These are converging cycles and they ask for grounding rather than force.

I’ve created a series of gentle lunar companions to support reflection and embodied steadiness through the year. You’ll find the link in the comments if you’d like to explore.

And whether you do or not…

May this New Moon bring quiet clarity,
and the kind of grounded strength that moves without strain.
