Come back down to earth with me. The seasons are changing, and I can FEEL it, SEE it and TASTE IT. But sometimes…change can pull us off balance. However, once you become aware of the state of flux you are in, and then ground, the result can be transforming. That is why now is the time to come back down to earth, daily. How to tell if you are un-grounded - Confusion of late - Feeling uncomfortable or unease in your body, mind, emotions or spirit - Fatigue for no apparent reason - Noticing old fears/"demons" coming to the surface, again!

As a Yoga Instructor and Personal Trainer I have introduced many of my clients to meditation for the first time. And the reaction of many of them is one of surprise and delight. And today I am going to share my secrets to any easy and enjoyable meditation practice with you too!

You think of a pink Elephant. My years of practice and research have helped to change my experience of meditation forever, and now meditation i ..read more

Could alcohol be one thing blocking you from moving forwards? So I knew, I knew for a long long time that drinking alcohol just didn’t sit right with my values and also my purpose. And whilst initially the desire to be alcohol free was because I thought that I ‘should’ do it, to fit in with the fitness guru mold, over time, like with smoking, I knew deep down that it was actually because I was using it to numb and keeping me stuck in my sadness and my self-destruction. Now this may come as a surprise to my clients, even my friends and people that have seen me on Instagram. Because I DO have ev ..read more

Are you a seasonal exerciser and yet you never realized it? Should we ALL be exercising in tune with the seasons? I have been researching the importance in living in tune with the menstrual and/or lunar cycle. In short, this means that when we move towards menstruation/the dark moon we slow down, rest and reflect on the month just passed and then as we move towards ovulation/the full moon we naturally increase our productivity, the intensity of our workouts and our social calendar.     CYCLICAL LIVING Women have lived for so long brushing their period to the side, encouraged by soc ..read more

Whilst I have always been in relatively good shape, there have been periods of times where I have wanted to actually disappear because it was so uncomfortable to be in it.

No, it is primarily tied up in my mental and ..read more

Taking that plan and putting it into action  I am someone that has a lot of ideas and, in the past, very little follow through. This is something that I find very frustrating about myself as I am a very driven individual with a deep passion to express myself and share that with the world. I have been writing a book which, until recently, I had struggled to finish. I care a lot about making yoga accessible through making my own yoga videos, but never got around to actually making them. Basically it got to 4pm each day and I just could nawt be bothered, I was tired and feeling lazy. Then ..read more
