You are busy. Life is chaotic again. I hear you and I feel it too. But times like this remind us more than ever we need those routines and coping mechanisms. The best one I know is YOGA.

If you need help making that shift this Autumn I have you covered...join me for my retreat morning next Saturday to find some calm in the chaos, reconnect to yourself and slowwwww things down πŸ‘‡

🌳 ROOT TO RISE: AUTUMN RETREAT MORNING
Sat 19 Sept 10am - 1pm
Β£37

A nurturing morning of yoga set against the backdrop of the wild beauty of Kenfig. The morning will blend mindful movement, embodied breathwork, restorative stillness, and a walking meditation. The extraordinary landscape of Kenfig offers the perfect place to pause, reflect, and reconnect β€” both with yourself and the natural world β€” as we gently ease into the slower rhythms of autumn. Building that union of mind, body, breath.

Includes:
- Energising vinyasa flow to restore morning practise
- Embodied breathwork session (weather dependent - inside or outside)
- Guided walking meditation for self-connection (weather dependent - otherwise inside)
- Savasana head / shoulder massage (optional)
- All drinks, tea/coffee and snacks included
- All props included (with the exception of yoga mat and any bolster/cushion you want to bring)
- Time to explore the nature reserve, sand dunes, forest and lake (Kenfig Pool)

This retreat is suitable for all levels. Whether you're seeking space to reflect, rest, or simply move and breathe. As ever, I will provide multiple options for you to choose from.

Only 12 spaces and last year this one sold out... get in quick to secure your spot.

Students from last year's retreat said:
πŸ’¬ "Lovely well rounded day, did not feel rushed at any point. Enjoyed the theme and felt it was explained well....Please do it again!"
πŸ’¬ "Good well rounded session. Was explained clearly and liked how there was multiple breath work activities. Did not stay on any too long. Felt my energy changing."
πŸ’¬ "Thank you for a brilliant day! I felt I got a lot from all the practices that I can take with me off the mat. Was lovely being surrounded by likeminded individuals!"

🧘 A LITTLE 101 ON BREATHING

Everyday you take thousands of breaths, but they're not always effective at shifting your state of mind and emotions. Watch this to learn more and practise a little exercise with me.

Want to practise more breathwork (what we call pranayama in yoga) with me?

πŸ‘‰ Join me for my upcoming yoga retreat morning. We'll be unpacking the breath in a dedicated mini workshop setting

🌊 FINAL SUNSET YOGA OF 2026 - WEDS 26 AUG 🌊

The summer is drawing to a close with sunsets are getting earlier and earlier, join me for the FINAL beach yoga of 2026. Come join me this Wednesday on Ogmore front for our next sunset yoga session. No sea dip as the tide will be too high.

Whether you're familiar with yoga or just starting out, practising outside can add an extra dimension to the practice. Imagine the sound of the ocean waves rolling in, sand between your toes and the sun on your face.

This class will be a mix of dynamic flowing movement and more restorative poses. Altogether, aiming to cultivate the mind-body-breath connection even more than normal by practising in nature.

This class is suitable for all abilities.

πŸ‘Š 99% OF MY STUDENTS ALL END UP WITH ONE THING IN COMMON....

I have taught yoga to hundreds of people, all of whom came for different reasons.

But 99% of the time, they all end up with one thing in common.

Some come for flexibility. Some for strength. Some just to switch off.

But somewhere along the way, the reason they started stops being the reason they keep coming.

Slowly, that one hour starts to change the other 23. You're less reactive. More patient. More able to sit with discomfort instead of running from it.

If doctors could prescribe calm and resilience, it'd be snapped up by millions. But you can write that prescription yourself.

It's called yoga. All you need is a mat and to show up.

Want to write yours?

Here’s 3 ways you can be in my world...

1) Start or build upon your practice with regular classes

In person classes every Monday 6pm & 7.15pm
Or, practice online using my video library. 20+ hours of yoga classes (dynamic and restorative practices) and 70+ music playlists. Monthly & annual plans available.

2) Kick start or up level your practice with my yoga events

Fri 4 Sept - End of Summer Unwind: Slow Flow to Yin.

Sat 19 Sept - Root to Rise: Autumn Retreat Morning

3) Want a more personal approach? Work 1:1 with me

Create your bespoke 6-12 week programme tailored to your goals and needs. In person and online options.

FOREVER A STUDENT - KEEP EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS ✌️

As a yoga teacher it can become quite easy to fall into the trap of teaching teaching teaching and giving to others and forgetting to be a student yourself. I've always been a curious person and probably the first person to admit that I love to learn from others. So this summer I've been putting more focus in learning from others.

It's looked like...
✨ In person classes in my local area on yoga, tai chi, pilates
✨ Yoga festivals and workshops in S Wales + around the UK
✨ Online classes from some of my London favourites
✨ Random little podcasts, books, articles and YouTube videos on yoga + physiology + neuroscience and more
✨ Other wellness practices like contrast therapy, sound healing, reflexology and more...

This is actually one of the most underrated pillars of yoga. Forever being in the mindset of expansion of knowledge of self + the topic of yoga. That's why I always say to my students to go and try lots of different things. Because what works for me may not work for you. But also what works one day may not the next.

Keep building your own personal toolkit of wellness practices and then apply them to the day depending on how you feel.

So I AM here to teach you more about different types of movement, breath, meditation and more.

YOU are here to help apply what works to YOUR life.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT πŸŒ™

A few weeks ago when I saw it would be a partial 90%+ chance of a solar eclipse on the day we usually meet for sunset yoga, I just knew it was going to be SO special.

12 people coming together to practise the magic of yoga on this magical day. Sharing our time, our eclipse glasses and the experience altogether. Thank you all for joining me.

and so many more.... I don't have everyone on insta so feel free to tag yourselves too

Until the next sunset yoga (which will be much sooner than the next eclipse)

⌚ How to shift how you feel in a matter of minutes

Recently I saw a post about how movement can be an effective tool in changing mood...and as someone who fully agrees with this statement I went down a bit of a rabbit hole researching why and how this works under the hood.

Watch this to learn more and try to implement this simple basic advice the next time you feel a bit meh. Let me know if you do in the comments πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
