Like many of you, I was very excited last week to see Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe back together...long lost 'Friends' returning to our living rooms! They seemed to just slip naturally back into place on the couch, all the years just fading away. Yes sure, after 17 years there was a slight difference in appearances, but it was actually quite comforting to see! It made me think of anxiously preparing for a school reunion not long ago. The thought of walking

So which one are you ?.... No,not which gnome! That's Ted & Fred (or is it Fred & Ted ?!) The question to finish our week on Friday was are you an 'Inside Out' or an 'Outside In' type of person ? Both look very similar, just like Ted & Fred, at first glance almost mirror images. The question though wasn't about physical appearance so much as how you relate to the world. Do you normally 'see and feel' from the outside or from the inside your body? Here's a little test to try..

Friday found us yet again at our finale of another Pop Up for Charity. This week has been all about Forces of Nature which brought to mind one of the most powerful experiences I have had - the day we went out on an ethereally beautiful grey, misty morning on a little boat off Vancouver Island and this happened...... Apologies for the dodgy camera work, my hands were shaking from the adrenalin of seeing these wonderful creatures just a few yards away! We counted 21 Orcas! Natu

For the 4th and last week of our April Charity Pop Up I've decided on the theme of 'Forces of Nature'.

This isn't easy by the way - those Ancients had it all tied up and wrapped in a big ribbon as far as theming Yoga practices went! So I hedged my bets and worked our first class this morning arou

This may seem an odd title for our Yin Yoga class on Wednesday evening! I was expanding on the week's 'Recipes for Yoga' themed practices, one of the main inspirations being my Aga oven and another, of course, this well known Yoga quote from Mr Iyengar! A couple of weeks ago there was a blockage in the system and our Aga flame went out! The engineer came and blew out the debris causing the issue. I then had to relight it....this is a tricky situation, where you have to watch

This week's class theme was Sthira Sukha (#SthiraSukha), looking at and translating it to various apparent opposite and yet complimentary pairings - Stability/Flexibility, Effort/Ease, Strength/Comfort and Balance/Fluidity and trying to find them in our practices. We experienced them in different ways, using fun, childhood memories with 'The 3 Bears' and 'Simon Says' and even Winston Churchill got involved! We took things slowly through 3 planes to find 'Good Space', tried to
