Evening all 🙏🏻

As we turn into September, my own classes start back this week (after a short break ☀️).

And I’m also sharing this inspiring BKS Iyengar quote…. A lovely expression about the ‘golden key 🔑’ that takes us on an inward journey, and it’s the process that guides us 🙏🏻 💛

**UPDATE** We’ve done it!!! 🙌🏻✨

I am beyond proud of everyone who came and enjoyed our 8th Annual Beach 🏖️ Yoga 🧘🏻 celebration 🎉 last Friday - to those who donated and to those who couldn’t make it and still donated!!! 💙

As an community we have reached our target - a huge £450, which is going to Alzheimer’s UK 💙

Many of you will know that my lovely Mum (Irene), had Alzheimer’s and I watched her fade away over many years. In early January 2026, she left this world in a gentle and quiet way forever 🤍 …. And I’m forever grateful to have had her in my life, a strong stoic Nurse and Mum.

However, many of us know someone or have lost someone to Alzheimer’s 💙 and know the unstoppable impact this has on the person’s loved ones, their family and friends. We have chatted a lot about this too 🥰

These funds will go to Alzheimer’s Society and towards a world 🌍 where dementia no longer devastates lives. Giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

YOU are all amazing 🧘🏼🧘🏻✨🙏🏻 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you 💙

What a fabulous morning and a fantastic group of yogis. You were all brilliant and we have nearly raised £400 for Alzheimer’s Uk 🙌🏻 so far!!

The beach was our class setting, quiet, and beautiful, our yoga was ☀️ fun 😎 with simply the best views stretching out to the horizon, and hues of blue from the sea 🌊 to the sky 🩵!

This was my 8th year hosting our beach 🏖️ celebration 🧘🏼class, followed with a refreshing sea dip and coffee / baked banana cake/ croissants/ shortbread. Special thanks to our bakers 🙏🏻

It’s about coming together as an Iyengar Yoga community to practise, catching up and enjoying where we live.

Thank you to everyone who came, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated 💙

I’ve been trying to share this post since reading the post in the last day or so. It’s a post about how inversions can be practised differently depending on you, it isn’t one size fits all and how yoga adapts with you.

There were around 6 pics and then I spotted this pic…. 😉 amongst the photos 📷 look familiar 👀 🙏🏻






Sadly, I haven’t been able to share the whole post here, but you can see on the Iyengar Yoga UK feed 👍🏻

Thank you to everyone who joined our half-day retreat yesterday.

It’s been a super hot week ☀️ and on a balmy beautiful afternoon our practice took a gentle approach with plenty of supine and restorative asanas - even mini savasanas featured too! 😉

It was a lovely opportunity to meet new practitioners and welcome familiar ones too. I even learnt today that I’ve now taught 3 generations of one family 💛 💛💛

I hope you enjoyed the afternoon as much as I enjoyed teaching you 🙏🏻

If you’d like to join me next time in this beautiful setting, Sunday 22 November is now open for booking 😁

Viparita Karani has featured in all my classes this week.
Relieves the legs beautifully, soothes the nervous system and encouages venous return back to the heart 💛

☀️ Viparita Karani for Heatwave & Insomnia Relief

Illustration by 🙏

In hot weather, blood tends to pool in the lower extremities, which can keep your body temperature elevated. Viparita Karani (legs up the wall pose) cools the body and alleviates insomnia by elevating your legs, allowing cooler blood to circulate towards the core and head. Gravity helps blood flow back to the heart, reducing heart rate and signaling the brain to begin relaxing, aiding a restful sleep.

•Viparita Karani can be practiced by all levels at any time of day, but you may find it particularly beneficial in the evening during the warm weather if you're having trouble sleeping or want to cool down and relax.

•Using folded blankets or a bolster to cushion your spine and support your lumbar region enhances a more restorative experience.

•Please always seek guidance from a certified yoga teacher of you are unsure of any poses or have injuries/health conditions.
