Breathe in.. breathe out.. It sounds so easy.. we do it without thinking most of the time but how we breathe can be so helpful in our yoga and also in daily life. Regulating your breathing can help you find the focus you need, maybe in a tough pose or in one of those moments…
Day of the light
I’m celebrating the longest day of the year.. the windows are open, inviting all the light into my home, making the most of the sunshine. But the brightest light is always the light that is burning within…

Exciting times…
The last few weeks have been exceptionally busy… both at my office job and also with my yoga. I followed a very interesting course last week (details in another post) which yet again makes me think how best I can use yoga to help myself and to help others. Sometimes though, the best thing to…

I came across the below article this week about the power of yoga to heal.

Crow pose – a leap of faith
I’m working on arm balances as part of my latest yoga mission (not to mention hip openers, camel pose.. and anything else that I find challenging).
