So let’s get into it, because this lesson really won’t be what you think, infact it is not even about the poses but it is about the physicality of it all. As a teacher I have to stand up infront of so many different types of people from all over the world – what an […]
Give yourself a break. The first thing we tend to do after waking up is to check how late we are running, and then fittingly descend into a pit of despair… perhaps that is a tad dramatic, but honestly it pretty much described my morning. I am a Yoga and Meditation teacher and honestly I […]
I am not your guru, guide or teacher, I am here as a friend sharing lessons and my own experience but one thing I have learnt is that it is time to get specific. Too much advice out there is so unattainable and so, for want of a better phrase, wishy washy…. like why not […]
I remember when I first started training to be able to teach Yoga and Meditation, I had no idea how out of my depth I felt, how much I didn’t know, yet there I was – addicted! I was obsessed with the feeling that moving and breathing gave me. It was something that I had […]
We sat down with Jules Von Hep, celebrity tanner, the founder of The Isle of Paradise and Body Positivity advocate to get his advice. I was blown away by his outlook and I have a feeling you will be too. “For me well being is about self love, self care, body appreciation and recognising even […]
I remember when I first started teaching yoga and I was so nervous before every class I would need to sit in silence and try to focus. I had an irrational fear of people judging me and thinking badly of my teaching, or worse, me as a person. Every class was completely planned and learned […]
Is there any such thing as Unfiltered any more? seriously though I see you, you have all of those favorite VSCO filters saved on your phone, that beautiful grid, effortless images, and captions and I have to say I love that. I love the creativity that I see online it genuinely inspires me to create, there […]
It will have been hard for you to miss what has been happening in the news lately with the draconian Abortion Laws that have been implemented in Georgia … however, I am in the UK and let’s not forget that this is apparent in Northern Ireland too. As a woman when I read this I […]
It is a really complicated time in the wellness sector right now. We all want to feel good, eat the right things and develop our skills yet in a $4.2 trillion industry do you get the feeling that the initial message is disappearing? I am of privilege that I know, I am a white female […]
I have spent most of 2019 researching about the power of meditation for the brain through thousands of neuroscientific studies to put together an article that I hope will prove how that the power of meditation goes way beyond the soul. One of the main findings that I really became fascinated with was neuroplasticity: the […]
I’m writing this as something I have been manifesting for a while has come true. I wish you could only sense how happy I am as I type this, I have a smile across my face and I feel alive! This may sound like a bit of a crazy article today, but hey, I love […]
I already know what you are thinking, that these two words are a paradigm of one another and could not be conducive to our growth, I want to write this to perhaps change the way you view these emotions. In order to help clarify this initial statement I like to think of life as a […]
I was so lucky to spend an evening surrounded by school teachers last week, where I spent a couple of hours talking about wellness in schools, for both the children and the teachers. The main focus for teachers that I wanted to talk about was the power of the pause. We are taught that being […]
I have wanted to write this piece for a while now as so many wonderful people are wanting to give Yoga a try and are still intimidated by it. Honestly, the hardest part in Yoga is showing up. Once you are at the door of your studio you are ready. You are in a safe […]
So here is my place that I get to write what I feel, try to inspire people in some way, but I’m going to be so honest here, the last two weeks I lost my motivation. I had zero, which has actually never happened to me before and I thought if I write it down […]
I had an interesting conversation with my client recently that I wanted to share. I was teaching and asked her to think of a positive affirmation to keep her grounded through the practice: as this is something that I am trying to do in my own self-practice rather than solely setting an intention, it feels […]
When I thought about what I wanted BSY to become, I realised that it wasn’t about the workout, it was about the experience. I wanted to create a Confidence Club that includes everyone: so let’s talk about exactly what that means. Being confident to me means I feel comfortable in my own skin, and I don’t […]
There could not be a more fitting day to talk about Yoga, than international Yoga Day: yogi’s it is our day. It is the most exciting time in the wellness industry at the moment, so many new studios opening, so much inspiration on Youtube and Instagram, so many more people starting to practice: I wanted […]
I have had a lot of requests recently about teaching children yoga and what it takes to really inspire them: I hope you are ready for a fun-packed tale. Firstly, I truly have to get myself mentally prepared and in the headspace that this is nothing like teaching adults at all, I teach in schools […]
Since launching Little Pups in September there is already so much to talk about. I have always wanted to take the stigma out of Yoga and show that Yoga really is for everyone, these children have reaffirmed it to me: it is by far my favourite day of the week. I am lucky enough to […]
So there we were, setting up for our first Hip Hop Yoga session at Netil360, the stunning rooftop bar in Hackney and I have to admit, I was nervous. Not only did we just climb 6 flights of stairs with 30 yoga mats, drinks and snacks (!) but the wind up there was pretty wild.. […]
I already know what you are thinking, another blog post about juices, another Yogi stood with a green juice in hand and a Yoga Mat hung over her shoulder: but honestly I cannot stress the importance of juicing every day. First and foremost the scientific benefits of juicing should be enough to interest you. Juicing […]
We have teamed up with the amazing Rhian’s Yoga, based in Edinburgh who is a fellow yogi and beloved friend to put together the perfect Restorative Summer Yoga routine. We know what its like, you couldn’t resist that last drink; you’ve been treating yourself a bit too much (you totally deserve it); it’s just one […]
