You are never far 🤗

Just a reminder. YOU are consciousness! ✨

My hobby? Eating. At this stage I consider myself a competitive eater, except without the competition or the speed. I’m more of an endurance athlete. Three meals a day, snacks in between, and the occasional “I’m not hungry but I’ll have a look anyway”. It’s a lifestyle.

Drop your ribs down. But are you doing this?

Let’s talk about a cue that l hear all the time, which is bring the ribs in and down. But what a lot of people do is drop the sternum & compress the chest essentially manipulating the ribs to come back in space without actually have them come back.

When we use the breath rather than compensate (by moving the structure to allow the ribs to come back in and down) the sternum can stay lifted as we utilise the exhale to make this happen. There’s no moving, manipulating, compensating the body to get there and sending pressure where we don’t want it. So notice that difference.

If you want to learn proper technique, the real work, not the shortcuts, come into the studio. This is what I teach. And look, it will feel harder at the start because you’re not relying on the usual compensations. Most of us do them without even knowing, or we’re too busy trying to make the exercise look right instead of actually doing it right. But when you peel it back, breathe properly and recruit the muscles that are meant to be doing the job, the whole thing finally clicks. And that’s when the magic really happens. Are you ready for the real work?
Real work = Real benefits!

Some friendships feel like the land itself; steady as old stone, soft as moss, with just the right amount of wildness to keep things interesting.

In the old Celtic way, your circle was never just people, it was your clann, your chosen kin.

In adulthood, friendship becomes less about who’s nearby and more about who feels true, who lets you exhale, who meets you where you are without performance or pretence.

Ken is my secret weapon.

I don’t post that much about him because he’s a private soul. People sometimes ask how I juggle the studio, my course (year 3 nearly done, one more to go 💪), the self‑care, the whole circus.

Simple: I live with a man whose answer to everything is “yeah, no bother”.

His calm confidence makes me feel like I could take on the world with a yoga mat in one hand and a to‑do list in the other.

So here’s to the partners who keep us upright when life gets a bit wobbly.

One lesson Yoga keeps teaching me...
Is that the practice is like a mirror
Whatever is happening inside of you, eventually shows up on the mat; stress, fear, ego, impatience, peace, joy.
Yoga reflects it all back to you. But here’s the deeper lesson. What appears in the lesson is not who you are.
Thoughts come and go
Emotions come and go
Even seasons of life come and go
What defines you is the awareness behind it all, the witness. That part of you that can observe everything without judgement and remain steady through the changing tides of life.
