I am so proud of one of my OceanFlow Method students who completed the 50 hour CPD training just a few weeks ago. She is now running an OceanFlow session at a festival this summer. She is teaching Ocean literacy to her local community and she is collaborating with who runs amazing rock pool safaris. This is what it's all about - inspiration and guidance on how to expand your offerings and integrate the ocean into your life and work she does not really use instagram but am tagging her anyway you are amazing Tanya 🌊💕

I am so happy to share some quotes of feedback I have received from the first cohort of the OceanFlow method 💕🌊 honestly, the feedback is exactely why I created the course. These are identity shifts - moving from uncertainty to confidence, from 'I'm not sure if I should or can teach this way' to ...within the timeline of the course, not after (!), 'I'm running ocean yoga events and integrating ocean literacy into my teaching..' from ideas to action. Yoga teachers - this training changes how you teach, live and lead. Bold claims I know but it's true!

✨Integration + coherence + purpose ✨

Next cohort starts September. Get in touch for more info.

Celebrating completing the first cohort of The OceanFlowMethod 💕🌊 I absolutely loved teaching this course - bringing together my loves of yoga and the Ocean. Certifying yoga teachers through committed to Ocean positive actions, understanding what truly has impact and how change is created. We covered embodied practices and ethical leadership from regenerative retreats to ocean advocacy. Teachers are now ready to diversify offerings with informed, embodied actions to create even more positive impact in the world. This work matters, now more than ever. If you are a nature and Ocean loving yoga teacher or student and you are interested to be part of the next cohort - drop me a message 🌊💕

We are whizzing through the first cohort of the OceanFlow Method 💕🌊 Ocean Literacy for Yoga Teachers ✅ students gained certification with some excellent case studies all locally relevant to them. More on that later.. We are now in the embodied practice part of the course and we kicked off with the wonderful on functional breathwork. Thank you Laura, we got some great feedback and such simple solutions for everyday breathing and better health

That's why I loved the article I read today in with research from exploring how microbial communities are responding to climate stress.

As conditions change and become more stressful, they found that the microbes (the foundation of the oceans food web) collaborate! The levels of positive interactions increase during periods of stress, like elevated temperatures.

At the smallest scales of life, cooperation can be what allows systems to persist.

I don't mean this as a symbolic metaphor we're projecting onto nature; it's an observed system response.

I think about this often when we talk about climate, leadership, education (including yoga)

Collaboration may be more one of the most important values we need to relearn.

Over the past few days, I've shared a bit about why this work exists.

It has been a real privilege talking to teachers and practitioners who love the Ocean and want to deepen their understanding and take informed action. This can be done through the Ocean Literacy certification which is included in the OceanFlow Method for this cohort.

We have been talking about the asana practices, meditation and breathwork and how this can be integrated into their offerings.

And of course, ethical leadership, where our embodied practice shows up in our teaching and business to reflect people, planet and place.

Enrolment closes tomorrow.

People protect what they love 🌊💕 This is the foundation of Ocean literacy & behaviour change. Relationship and connection is the starting point.

This question has been at the heart of my thinking for a long time..how to integrate science, embodied practices, spirituality for systems change?

We know more than ever about the world we live in..
Many of us are doing the deep inner work...
But systems struggle to change...

Information alone doesn't shift behaviour..
Our inner work doesn't transform institutions..

Real systems change happens when everything comes together.

In my work on Ocean science, embodied practice and ethical leadership, it all begins with relationship. Long before we k...

In my work on Ocean science, embodied practice and ethical leadership, it all begins with relationship. Long before we know why the Ocean matters, we know that it does...

Ocean literacy for yoga teachers and wellness practitioners is about this felt, relational understanding. It's also about knowledge of principles and processes, but in a way that leads to meaningful action, advocacy and ethical leadership.

If something sparked you during the masterclass, this is how learning, change and impact actually begin 💕🌊

Thank you so much to everyone who signed up and showed up for the OceanFlow Masterclass 💕🌊

The teachers who came along and that I have spoken to since are so inspiring, already doing amazing ocean-positive work in the world.

It's my mission to bring together a global community of yoga teachers, schools, studios, wellness practitioners committed to Ocean-positive action, to understand what truly has impact and we can create change.

It's 2026, there is 425ppm CO2 in our atmosphere, but we have the knowledge and tools to keep our planet healthy and habitable. I believe yoga teachers and wellness practitioners already do amazing, unquantifiable work in the world, but imagine if those teachers have the framework, the confidence, the networks, the collaborations and knowledge on how to integrate this to create even more positive impact in the world.

The OceanFlow Method is a 50 hour CPD:

1. Ocean Literacy certification is a core part of this - knowledge to action for our relationship with the Ocean

2. Embodiment: breathwork, pranayama, yoga asana, meditation - where this knowledge becomes something you can feel

3. Ethical leadership: how our embodied practice shows up on our teaching, offerings, retreats, pricing, collaborations that reflect care for people, planet and place.

I am so excited to get started 💕🌊.
