Had rather a busy week celebrating Grace's birthday! I can't believe she is 1 and it's just over a year since we moved up here! Still miss you all every week. Lots of love to you all and hope to see you online on a Thursday evening soon ###

Thinking of you all this week as it has been my birthday. Remembering my 40th party which, spearheaded by the amazing Gayle Binns we had the most amazing time 2 years ago! So many of you sent me lovely messages thank you so much.

We've had a fantastic week. I took Grace to the beach for her first sea experience, she absolutely loved it! Then on my birthday we went walking in the moors with David's family and had scones at the pub at Beckhole. We had a bbq in the evening. Yesterday David took me to The Flower Belt at Helmsley to pick some flowers and have a birthday pint overlooking the beautiful view. Today we're having a tidy up before David's parents arrive for the week tomorrow. Lovely lovely.

Grace has been learning so many new things. She can crawl, walk (holding hands) stand up, crawl up the stairs! Wave, clap, say dog, mama and daddy. She thinks all animals are dogs as she points at them all and says dog! Haha.

We have also had some lovely friend visitors: Alan and Anna came and Suzanne and Ian. Enjoying the summer, it's a bit cooler up here on the Moor than Messimgham.
Love to you all ###

I've been really enjoying teaching Yoga online. I didn't think I would take to it, but it is so lovely seeing some of you each Thursday evening in my lounge. To chat and catch up and practise together.
I can still hear the toe taps and knee cracks echoing round the village hall when I teach hehe, it's lovely and sad. I miss you all a lot.
Here is Grace tonight getting ready for yoga and another of her meditating on holiday haha. Starting her young! X

I hope the 4g speed is good enough for tonight's online yoga session! Looking forward to a special South of France edition! Xx

Poor Grace is teething this week, so it's taking a little longer to settle her to sleep! So I have brought a glass of wine out to the veg patch to relax xx

Hi all. Please do go along to support or exhibit in this wonderful event. I am so gutted I won't be there. I thought I would, but I will be flying to France that weekend fir a family wedding and a holiday! Grace's first time abroad. I will look forward to seeing the photos ###

A lovely simple practice x

EXAMPLE SKETCH FROM A YOGA PRACTICE PLANNING THEORY SESSION.
Involving a 25-30 minutes long Āsana practice leading towards a Prāṇāyāma practice with a crown ratio of 1.1.1.1. in Nāḍī Śodhana, for an intermediate level Āsana practitioner, focused on assessing their capacity for further developing a working relationship with Nāḍī Śodhana, as a consistent element within their personal practice.

OK...ONLINE YOGA STARTING...THURSDAY 30th APRIL. 7pm til 8pm. Pay as you feel by PayPal to [email protected] or bank transfer (my bank details are still the same) or you can message me for them!
It'll be on Zoom. I am hoping it'll all work! You might have to be patient for a couple of sessions until I get it perfect (but you can knock it off what you pay me if it's rubbish).
I can't wait to see you all and hopefully it'll help to support your practice and bring a new experience to it.
If you could comment on this post if you intend to come, then I will get the zoom link out to you all. I am thinking setting up a WhatsApp group will be easiest. So I might need some of your numbers if we normally communicate by email or fb message.
Eeek! Love to you all ###

This week I am going to do a practise online class with my family, where I'll make loads of mistakes and technical errors haha... in PREPARATION to begin teaching you lot again. So hopefully in a couple of weeks I might have something ready! I can't wait to see you all again!

I am thinking a Thursday evening at 7pm for an hour, starting with Zoom and seeing how that goes! There will also be the recording to buy if you miss the class. It'd be pay as you feel and you can pay by bank transfer or PayPal. It'll be an honesty box approach as I trust you lot with my life and I don't have the brain space to be chasing payments!

Lots of love x
