An ethereal and healing day immersed in a brood of An ethereal and healing day immersed in a brood of wise and wonderful women. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead. So much gratitude to all present yet mostly to @naomiabsalom - this one went deep for me. #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
Posting a pic of my pots and plants today (plant o Posting a pic of my pots and plants today (plant obsessed). So, my plants had grown out of their boundaries - I found these pots for £6 each and painted them - I also did up the set of tables they're living on. I'm not drawing your attention to this to be "ooh look at me" I'm saying it as a reminder for you to seek out some sort of creative vehicle in your life. Kick out the "I was pants at school at art" stories as they're just balls - I'm no artist I just really enjoy creating - it's such an outlet for me and it makes me happy. Yoga is of course, creation. Give it a go - cooking, gardening, writing, painting walls - whatever! P.S. this is after I tended to a poorly son and cleared up dog poo off the kitchen floor - we all need something to bring back the joy right?!

"All this stuff - meditation, therapy, pharmaceuti "All this stuff - meditation, therapy, pharmaceuticals - is bullshit without friendship. You can't heal all by yourself. In no culture did anybody heal all by him or herself; you can't do it alone" This is one of them that just resonates so deep from within me - from my old teacher, the Late - and oh so incredible - Michael Stone. I still miss him. Looking forward to teaching you - and being around you all - this week.

A pic I'm fond of from one of my retreats. Truly s A pic I'm fond of from one of my retreats. Truly special times. I'm reflecting on them today, the retreats I've attended as a student - still do - and why it's imperative for me - and the ones I've hosted - and the ones yet to come! I'm looking forward to teaching the Retreat Day coming up too. If you get to go on retreat, whether it's with me or another, you're honestly lucky. #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth

I also suggest that if your yoga teacher takes themselves too seriously you need to find a new teacher 😉😁 See you on the mat #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth

It could be my age 😁, I like to think its more the yogic path that I'm on that brings me closer and closer to nature, but I love watching the birds see you on the mat this week - let's fluff our tailfeathers #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #lovebirds #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
It was the Autumn equinox yesterday - if you follo It was the Autumn equinox yesterday - if you follow yoga pages here you're probably be swamped with it! If you want to - like yogis - use it as a marker - think about it like this - it marks the beginning of preparing ourselves for Winter, so you could see if there's some work to be done to let go of any residual angst from last year. So, it's a good time to declutter, clear out, and key is to keep spending as much time as you can outside. Reflect on some things you'd like to bring in. Keep it simple. #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
Always so refreshing for me to get back into Londo Always so refreshing for me to get back into London. Yesterday in my corporate work in a few sessions I focussed on how we explore challenging emotions. Here's the thing - I believe we all know how to deal with things theoretically, yet emotionally it can be a completely different ball game. If we are truthful what we struggle most with is how to handle difficult emotions be it fear, anxiety or anger. If we work with a difficult emotion in meditation, we learn to feel it as sensation, we locate it in the body, we stay with it, sometimes we can bring opposites in. We learn we no longer need to be overwhelmed by our emotions, we watch how they change, just like our thought patterns, they evolve, they move on. We also have an opportunity to process emotions.

Thanks to @claire.ali.14 for sending me this pic Thanks to @claire.ali.14 for sending me this pic today that came up in her memories of some of us on retreat a year ago now. As you'll be gathering from my posts water is a massive part of my life. I can't go without getting in somewhere and this was pretty epic as the waves were massive, so after a huge wipeout the day before we just sat at the edge and let ourselves get submerged by the big Muvva - tides are not to be messed with my friends. We laughed a lot - another big part of my life, otherwise what's the point right?

Self care has become cliched - and it's a narrativ Self care has become cliched - and it's a narrative that's everywhere but I feel it has little substance in many places - its become synonymous with selling sh*t. If you explore the practice of self compassion however, and you study it more deeply you understand the following. That when we REALLY care for ourselves, we explore what gives our life MEANING - be it artistic expression, time spent in nature, family, spirituality, voluntary work, sea dipping. In this way we stop depleting ourselves by giving ourselves away, and instead we nourish ourselves by paying attention to our deepest yearnings. What gives your life meaning?

Lines from such a classic Travis song. It's always Lines from such a classic Travis song. It's always struck me. I'm writing about it not because I think this, I think quite the opposite. However, I really like the words. For me these words sum up the “cesspit” mind. You get to see really clearly here the insanity of the mind. That someone could still be punishing themselves ALL those years later for a lie they told in their teens. Our minds are powerful, yet how we direct them is within our power. Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Make it a practice to call out the lies in your mind. And these kind of beliefs are certainly very teenage. This is a helpful practice, try this: “thank you for sharing, I don’t need such teenage self protection anymore, I understand you, I have massive compassion for you, but I’m an adult and I’m in charge now.” See you on the mat #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
Isn't this beautiful? So simple, so true. I thin Isn't this beautiful? So simple, so true. I think it's time... Thank you @charliemackesy you continue to cut right through so effortlessly.

This pic came up in memories - it was taken 9 year This pic came up in memories - it was taken 9 years ago for the local paper to celebrate the fundraising we did as a studio for MIND - this was the cheque presentation - with all the students help we raised £10,000 over the years for which I'm very proud. Plus there's two of my old teachers in this pic, Jo and Leanne who both went on to set up their own successful studios @jojoyoga @asthangayogaessex and @leannejivajones. It was an inspiring time in those early days when there were no studios around here. Being truthful I don't miss running the studio now, anyone who runs one will understand the numbers game you get into - but I do miss working with others, I've always been such a fan of collaboration - it inspires me - and I loved the people - yet I've still got my people so I'm happy. Good memories. #yoga #fitness #meditation #yogapractice #brentwoodessex #essexyoga #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #yogi #yogateacher #yogalove #motivation #yogaeveryday #workout #health #wellness #yogagirl #yogaeverywhere #healthylifestyle #yogachallenge #healing #fitnessmotivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
