Reflection on being and becoming, the attachment to the becoming, whether that’s a yoga pose, career, life goals, what’s next to achieve etc.

The place of being eludes me at times and finding quiet places in nature is definitely my sanctuary when life feels hard. Connecting to the sounds, smells and beauty is deeply comforting for me.

I would love to hear your top tips ✨

Reconnection in a turbulent world.

While the warm weather prevails, it’s hard to imagine wintering. The softness of jumpers, wholesome food, cosy warm duvets and candle lit yoga. This January we’re slowing down again.

We warmly invite you to join us for a weekend of coming back to yourself. A space to rest, time for self enquiry with somatic & restorative yoga, and reflection through heart centred coaching.

Our all-inclusive venue is set within the Surrey countryside. Private en-suite room with delicious, wholesome meals throughout from Ladywell’s experienced chef. Space to walk, to sit and to be.

If you’re curious to explore your hidden layers and how to resource yourself please get in touch. We would be delighted to send you details of our early bird offer and securing your space with us x x

🌀These shapes, asana’s, are not just stretches. They are a resource to enable the body to release. Release the tension, stress and grief and to influence the breath, mind and nervous system.

✨We can encourage a sense of lightness, find stability when life feels overwhelming, quieten the mind chatter and encourage introspection, all from our practices.

🩷The compassionate time on the mat prepares us for the world off the mat and all the gaps in between. It helps us meet the challenges of life with understanding, enabling us to meet deep emotions with agency.

☀️You are welcome to join me for weekly classes, workshops, retreats and 1:2:1 yoga therapy, where we explore more deeply the relationship of the body, breath and mind.

Welcome August, the season of the first harvest and an opportunity for us to reflect on what is ripening for us. We’re sitting between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox, another transition.

These seasonal transitions may illuminate areas of our life that we can reflect more deeply on; the seeds we planted earlier in the year, what grew, what withered, what we lost and what we’ve gathered.

When we’re able to make space, ease back, rest and observe we may give ourselves and opportunity to feel the impacts of these transitions in our body. If the transitions have been significant it takes a while for the body to find an anchor again, while the brain finds new pathways to navigate the changes and rewire our internal map.

Gentle practise, mindful breathing, stillness and meditation all help the healing process of the transitions. We know this, but perhaps find it hard to prioritise. I wonder if we could value ourselves highly enough to incorporate some of this over this next seasonal change?

Finding beauty in the mundane and ordinary appreciating everyday routines and surroundings can shift our focus. It can help bring a gentle awareness to the present moment and avoid the oscillation between ruminating over the past, or wishing into the future.

I was mesmerised by the washing wafting in the wind, fabrics being caught and tangled. A bit like my emotional responses lately, being caught momentarily with grief and then releasing again. Life has been pretty sad of late and hiding in Devon has been the medicine we didn’t know we needed! I found myself shifting focus from constantly striving ‘to do’, to finding peace in simple ways. Walking and connecting with nature is always a go to for me, but having the space here with its big skies, tall hedgerows and flapping washing lines, allowed deep breaths, grounding and space to be.

What does yoga mean to you? How does it feel?
How does your body respond when you challenge, stretch or rest?

We practice so that we can carry it out into the real world, when life can feel out of kilter, overwhelming or just flippin’ difficult and sad.

Again, recently I’ve been met with a heart wrenching challenge. Finding stillness is difficult, there’s no question, to sit with the feelings of overwhelm and sadness. Breath practices (pranayama) support the nervous system as a resource for managing emotional regulation and responses.

Balancing active, strengthening poses (which build heat and mobility) with restorative, prop-supported poses (which promote deep rest) creates a holistic routine that helps condition the body while calming your nervous system

Yoga can beautifully bring together, (yoke, join or unite) physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation. The blending helps bring stillness and supports to quieten the mind, creating a holistic approach to life.

Above all coming back to the breath, which feels precious in itself. Feeling our prana,
our life force, and being truly grateful 🙏

The most wonderful day retreat to connect and share time together. Held in the loving space of Kim and Lee have created a beautiful environment that encourages peace and tranquility.

I offered somatic and restorative yoga to bring our bodies into a state of deep rest. Relaxing the nervous system as a perfect antidote to the hectic and sometimes exhausting lives we lead.

We laughed, connected, ate, enjoyed saunas, hot tubs, cold pool swimming and sunshine.

Most of all, we appreciated each other and the time we had honoured for ourselves to heal and rest.

I am so deeply grateful to everyone who came and continues to support these wonderful offerings. They wouldn’t be possible without you 🤍

We often don’t chat about the pelvic floor, especially for you guys and it’s really important, especially as we age!

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that stretch like a hammock from the p***c bone to the tailbone.

For men, it supports:

· The bladder and bowel

· The prostate

· The sexual organs

These muscles play key roles in urination, bowel movements, sexual function, posture, and core stability.

The prostate gland sits just below the bladder and in front of the re**um, wrapped around the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body.
The pelvic floor muscles surround and support these structures, forming a kind of “sling” underneath them.

Pelvic floor exercises improve blood flow, nerve function, and muscular support around the prostate; aiding recovery and easing tension that can contribute to inflammation or pain.
