You’ve started doing yoga recently, coming along to group classes, and you’re feeling good! More energy, less back pain, generally happier. Yoga is a new part of your life and one you’re proud of. But whilst it’s easy adding all the benefits together, there’s one small niggle. Something that’s been playing on your mind and […]

We go to yoga for all kinds of reasons: to get fit, relax, de-stress, strengthen our muscles… We don’t necessarily go to have physical contact with anyone. But should we expect it?

Hello all! And a Happy New Year! I haven’t written a blog since last January… Fell off that one, didn’t I? But I continuously got very envious of other people’s writing during 2014, which was a big cue for me to start up again. So, here tis: my blog of 2015. Long let it continue! […]

“Gorgeous. A snow day! Let’s go have some fun!” These will be the words and thoughts of a lot of people in Britain today. As curtains are eagerly drawn and doors are flung open, laughter and happiness will spread the streets. And whilst being a truly magical day for many, with the snow providing great opportunity […]

Don’t let the fire burn out before you’ve taken action.   Do you ever have an idea so strong, so compelling you just know you have to do something with it? The kind of idea that fills you with great passion and energy? Stops time and draws you in? Ideas like these tend to show […]
