I'm so excited to have a biscuit in at Gather Brighton CIC | community yoga + wellbeing

You might think its odd to have a biscuit tin at a yoga studio but we are so much more than that. I thought I'd share three reasons why this tin is important to me.

1. Yoga has been appropriated to mean exercise and weight loss to many people. This biscuit tin indicates that we are a fat positive space and we will never discuss weight, weight loss, or diets in our classes or treatments.

2. We don't do transactional yoga. At Gather you are invited to make yourself at home, put on the kettle for a cuppa and help yourself to a biccy. This is a space for meaningful connections and building community.

3. I love baking and used to bring home made vegan baking to all of my classes. Life with a toddler means this doesn't happen very often now, and shop bought biscuits are not a real replacement, but this tin represents the intention to fill it with home made vegan goodies occasionally.

It's not a particularly beautiful biscuit tin at the moment (I found it at the back of a drawer at home). So if you want to gift us a new biscuit tin, you'll get first pic of the biccys for life!

p.s. gluten free friends, I have not forgotten you. The gluten free biscuits are stored separately so they're not accidentally eaten by everyone else.

I'm on the train to London to meet some of my oldest friends so I thought I would tell you a bit about the pregnancy yoga talk I'm doing tomorrow about caesarean births.

We will discuss some of reasons someone my choose a caesarean, some reasons one might be recommended, and some alternatives to caesarean. We will also cover the different categories - there's more than just 'emergency' and 'elective'.

We'll cover how to prepare for a caesarean, what to expect beforehand and what actually happens in the room. Who will be there and what actually happens during the procedure. We'll think about what choices you have, how you can make it more person centred, gentle caesarean and maternal assisted caesarean.

Of course we'll talk about caesarean recovery, postnatal planning, and infant feeding. As always there's lots of time for questions and in September we have a local obstetric anaesthetist coming to talk who can answer all your questions about anaesthetic and pain relief.

You can book your space through Gather Brighton CIC | community yoga + wellbeing or the link in my bio.

Some exciting new books will be joining the collection at Gather Brighton CIC | community yoga + wellbeing

They are all by very special authors who I have learned a lot from but I'm extra excited to have a copy of Q***r Yoga by

I don't often talk about the mentoring sessions I offer to other yoga teachers as it's not something I really advertise but I'm always honoured when someone reaches out about mentoring. I always learn so much from me mentees and it is such a gift to be part of their journey. And what a huge honour to be mentioned in this incredible book, I'm so excited to read it!

A few snaps of summer so far... It's been a busy one! We were at a gorgeous wedding of wonderful friends yesterday, lots of Pride filled joy, and all the cuddles I can get.

It seems my attempt to post every day has ended but I'm proud of how long I was able to post consistently. I'm not sure when I'll post next so you'll just have to wait and see!
