MANIFESTATION ~ Today I reflect on where I was a year ago and how much has changed🙏🏽

Practising online was a thing before lockdown, and will be a thing post lockdown. It sure has its ups and downs but the ups out weigh the downs so much more and it’s been so beautiful to connect with so many people from all over the world!

But now, I finally have a dedicated space at home. Having my house turned upside down for a few weeks was so worth it for this moment right here, this space of my own.

Thank you all for putting up with my location changes and squeezing myself into small areas of my old apartment😅In the first lockdown I manifested this space and here I am🥰

What can you manifest right now for the 12 months ahead?

Not only will this be a space to connect with you online but also a space for Thai Massages and Private 1-1s. Details coming in this months newsletter next week (link to subscribe in bio)😘

GROUND YOURSELF In this weeks Yin classes I have

GROUND YOURSELF

In this weeks Yin classes I have been focussing on the root chakra. I needed grounding and with whatever is going on in our lives and the world, we all could do with some grounding!

The muladhara (root) chakra is the first chakra, located at the base of the spine. It’s energetic calling is to help us feel grounded and stable.

When it is in balance we feel grounded, comfortable and safe in our own body and in the world.

When it is out of balance, we may feel anxious, restless, fearful or a sense of lack.

Here are some affirmations to help you ground and feel stable:

✨Place your hands on your head and repeat - “The universe provides for me”

✨Place your right hand on your belly and your left hand on your heart and repeat - “I am enough”

✨Place your hands on the ground beside you and repeat - “I am anchored and connected to the earth”

Repeat as many times as you need 🙏🏽🥰🌏

Ps. Does anyone else’s water bottle never leave their side?😅

In my Vinyasa class this morning we explored Compa

In my Vinyasa class this morning we explored Compass pose and how to make it a little more accessible using a strap.

Compass pose is a deep hip, hamstrings and shoulder opener and is pretty intermediate but break it down, use props and warm up to the pose with a few hip openers, core postures and side lengthening. Even if it doesn’t happen the 1st or 20th time it is all part of the practice. Practice and all is coming🙏🏽

Happy Thursday yogis 🧘🏽‍♀️✨

Sound Meditation for India🇮🇳

It's time to give back.

MONDAY 10TH MAY 7PM

India holds a special place in my heart. I personally owe so much of my path to India, the people of India and cities and villages that I have called home, the culture, and the food, have all shaped my life and my teachings that support me every day.

If you have been moved by yoga and meditation in any way, this is an opportunity to give back. To help me create more impact and touch more lives, I need your support and contribution.

Join me for a healing sound meditation, and not only to raise money for charity but to also take a moment to send love and healing vibes to India.   Funds will be donated to Give India to help provide N-95 masks, PPE kits, bed sheets, hand sanitisers, and funds to refill oxygen cylinders to charitable hospitals, Covid care centres, and healthcare workers in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.  If you donate and are joining me next Monday, send me a quick message so I can send you the zoom link.

FEELING OVERWHELMED This past month I’ve been f

FEELING OVERWHELMED

This past month I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed and not at all inspired to really share on here from the heart. Social media is all full of sunshine and rainbows, and a few storms. So I’m just gonna be real witchuuu for a sec.

Last month I moved house, and since then I’ve been trying to make my house a home, putting my own stamp on it; who knew that would feel like a full time job!

In the meantime I’ve still been doing all of my classes, getting back to emails, trying to keep my Instagram accounts afloat, trying to eat properly, remembering to take my supplements, feeling so knackered but trying to fit in my self practice, liaising with builders, going on first dates and then getting mixed up in some absolute dating madness 😅🤷🏽‍♀️

After all that, before comparison tunes in after seeing what everyone else is up to and posting, I have to keep reminding myself that I AM ENOUGH🙏🏽

I’ve scheduled time out for myself, taken time to catch up on my to do lists and emails, and even attempted to read a book, which atm keeps turning into a mid day nap.

I’ve still been here on Insta, on my stories, but I’m sorry if I’ve been quiet or slow to reply to messages, I just haven’t had anything inspiring to say whilst caught up in this overwhelming moment in my life.

This is just a gentle reminder to myself and to whoever needs to hear it... you can’t run on 100% all the time. It comes in waves, so why do we beat ourselves up when we aren’t always super productive. Everything chips away at something, even if you’re doing nothing and taking a break, that will help productivity and creativity in the long run!

I don’t know if it’s the full moon, being on my moon cycle (my period), having a stiff neck and having the builders in turning my house upside down... maybe it’s a combination of them all, but I’ve been feeling a type of way recently 😅

Once all this work has been completed and my little yoga, meditation and massage sanctuary and bathroom is ready, (I CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE A BATH), self care is coming in full throttle. I may even take a mini holiday at home.

If you got to the end of this 😅thank you for reading. Sending you lots of love 🥰
