There are probably many of us who needed to hear this today… Melissa is worth a follow - very helpful 💖

Raising £200 in a matter of a few hours and having already made 8 batches of cookies… orders are now closed for the foreseeable 😉 Thank you so much for all your support!! 🤩🙏🤩

Poppy is going to an international drama camp for youth theatre groups in July… her group are one of a handful invited to perform their original works this year 😎

Their group represent a diverse range of backgrounds and not all families are able to contribute towards the trip… so we are fund raising on behalf of those less fortunate than us 💖

I am baking (of course!💪) and so far have three batches of chocolate chip cookies sold to Poppy’s school friends 😉

Perhaps you fancy a cookie or two for you and your family?

I’m happy to make any of the usual recipes - Norwegian almond cookies (the small chewy ones), choc chip, oat & raisin, lavender shortbreads, or any other requests.

£5 per order will buy you 5 large cookies or 10 smaller ones … let me know if you are keen. Local delivery (Dollar/Muckhart) will be next week (or possibly tomorrow for choc chip if I get cracking this evening) For those further afield, we will make individual arrangements 😉

Thank you on behalf of the MacRobert Youth Theatre Group 🙏💖

Message me directly to order 🌻

While you are focusing on your home practice, keep these quiet wins in mind 💖🕉️💖

A lot of progress in yoga is easy to miss because it doesn't look dramatic.

It looks like smoother breath when effort increases.
More control on the way out of a pose.
Less tension collecting in the shoulders and neck.

It looks like your joints feeling better the next day instead of worse.
Like not needing to chase the deepest version to feel like the practice counted.

These are quiet wins, but they are real ones.

They usually mean the body is organizing better, the nervous system is trusting more, and the practice is getting smarter.

Tonight at Elevate ✨

A truly special evening as our dancers slowed everything down and took time to reconnect - through breath, movement and stillness.

With Sara, The Contented Yogini, they explored what it means to pause, to listen, and to move with intention. From balance to relaxation, every moment was about building awareness, confidence and calm from within.

It was quietly powerful to watch - a room full of dancers giving themselves permission to slow down, reset and simply be. 💜

This is what Elevate is all about. Supporting our dancers not just in how they move, but in how they feel.
