Time has flown by. I can’t believe that Living Your Yoga has actually been living and growing for 5 years already. The little seed of this business, without a shadow of a doubt, has grown into something wonderful with the support of loved ones and an amazing community. Living Your Yoga has blossomed thanks to it’s commitment to and belief in: supporting a community’s health and well-being, continually making new friends and working relationships, bringing people together harmoniously, and recognising the power of a yoga practice and it’s many levels.

In these five years, in order to keep this little business up to date and encourage growth, I’ve trained in numerous courses & workshops to deepen my knowledge and understanding of how yoga can help so many people: Well-Woman Yoga Therapy; Yoga Nidra Teacher Training; Adore Your Pelvic Floor; Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers; Ashtanga Yoga with David Swenson and Ellen Johannesen; and a huge qualification in training to become a Yoga Therapist with Yogacampus which I graduated from this year!

Elsewhere, I’ve written articles for Om Yoga and Midwifery Matters; contributed to Dr Louise Newson’s latest book “The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause & Menopause”; created and filmed material for Dr Louise Newson’s Balance+ App; won and been nominated for the Muddy Stilettos Award several times; interviewed on podcasts, including Dr Louise Newson’s and Messy Luminous Being; presented live’s on Balance+; organising & running Yoga Retreats and Mini-Day Retreats; adapted to the online world of Yoga Classes since covid…and there’s more new and exciting things to come.

I think it’s really important to pause here and say a huge thank you to all of you that continue to commit to your yoga practice and attend classes, events and retreats with Living Your Yoga. It grows and blossoms because of your dedication. I always work on providing the best for our yoga community in order for you to get what you need and want from your yoga practice. As you all know, yoga grows with you - it’s a life practice - an anchor that hopefully carries you through the highs and lows and the in-betweens that life brings.

To celebrate Living your Yoga’s 5th Birthday, if you bring a friend to class in September, it will only cost them £5! What a treat! ;)

Please drop me a message in advance to ensure that there is space in the chosen class.

Summer 2023

August Yoga Challenge!

This Summer saw the return of the August Yoga Challenge. Loads of you participated in this little community challenge. This year I filmed 3 different styles of surya namaskar for everyone to choose from. I loved that many of you mixed up the sequences to create you own creative flow. It’s been wonderful to see your photographs of where you practiced in the world and who with! Thank you for sharing and joining in! I hope it helped maintain your connection to your practice throughout the Summer break.

Balance App

It was wonderful to share the news this Summer that Dr Louise Newson’s Balance App has reached over 1,000,000 downloads, supporting & helping over 1,000,000 women as they transition through the menopause. The app was designed to create a supportive community and provide up to date information about all elements involved in helping women, feel equipped with menopausal knowledge, support and advice, free of charge.

For more information, live chats and video’s, Balance+ is available to download free for the first 7 days. I have been filming yoga practices, including movement, meditation, breath work and yoga nidra’s, that I’ve created for women, since the balance+ was launched 2 years ago.

The Shirodhara Experience

This Summer I met with my gorgeous long-term friend and Ayurvedic genius Virginia Compton. She introduce me to a treatment called Shirodhara (oil pouring on forehead) and I can honestly say, I literally relaxed so much I couldn’t move after the treatment! Virginia writes that “it’s one of the most powerful Ayurvedic treatments where a continual stream of warm oil is poured over the forehead to indue a deep feeling of calm. This blissful therapy quietens the mind, alleviates anxiety and heightens awareness, and is particularly effective for insomnia, headaches and stress.”

Virgina has also written a beautiful wellness book called Sattvic Soul. It’s full of rituals and recipes for finding balance and optimum health in everyday life. A really accessible read for everyone. I will bring copies of this book to our Well-Woman Retreat days and Weekend to sell at a reduced price. Do contact me if you’d like to reserve a copy.
