Today’s first ‘Wake Up Shake’ Somatic Reset class was a raw and emotional one, but that is kind of the point…

Somatic movement bypasses the thinking mind and goes straight into the body. When we shake, sway, hum, breathe purposefully, repeat movements, and build intensity until the heart’s pumping louder, we reach a place where the body starts to lead and we can move more intuitively and give stuck energy a pathway to move through us.

Sometimes it comes out as laughter, sometimes tears, both are a good thing!

I’ve not shared with many yet that the name ‘Wake Up Shake’ is in memory of my Dad. When me and my two brothers were kids, he’d get up early on Saturday mornings and make us his own special morning concoction of Five Alive (80s babes will remember that juice!) raw egg white (yup), and honey, all shaken up together into a frothy shake. He made up the name wake-up shake, and we loved it! Great way to kickstart the weekend with lots of energy- just like this class is intended to do.

It’s been almost 2 months living in the world without Pops and I’m missing him terribly, and so teaching this class today, with that name, felt like a lovely way of keeping him close.

This is my new Saturday morning ritual now.

Thank you for those who came to try out something new and perhaps a little outside the comfort zone (also kind of the point!) I don’t take it lightly that you trust me enough to allow me to hold space in that way.

Hands up who’s with me next week? 🙋‍♀️ 9am Sat 12th Sept.

It’s hard to describe the feeling of peace felt by the group after a retreat like this.

It’s just two months until our next retreat in Glastonbury, so if you’re craving some of this peace for yourself, you won’t have to wait long for it!

We only had one regret last time and that was that we didn’t have one more night together, and so we’ve added an extra one to this one to make some more space for a little exploration to the Tor and Chalice Well Garden, and a bit more wafting about in the pool/sauna/ hot tubs. None of us will regret that!

My unwashed face, unbrushed hair, and my real unedited* human voice sharing some thoughts from my sunrise dog walk this morning.

*ok i did edit out me stopping to untangle the dog leads from around my legs, and about a minute of ‘umms’

And that isn’t even the full list…

Most of these are just silly stories and no harm done, but actually it can be (and has been!) pretty disastrous, so I’ve dedicated time to learning how to manage it better this for myself and for others who have this experience- and I know there’s a lot of us out there!

Share your menopause moments and brain fog stories below so anyone reading knows they aren’t alone.

Or if you’d like to share in person or learn some ways to make this whole transition a lot easier for yourself this is exactly the type of thing we look at in my yoga for menopause workshops.

The next on is Sunday 11th Oct. You don’t need to be an experienced yogi to join (spoiler it’s a holistic approach so not just about yoga!).

Link in bio to join, drop me a comment with any questions or strategies you’ve found to deal with it yourself.

I still remember what it felt like to walk into a yoga class for the first time … everyone else seeming to know exactly what to do, where the toilets were, where to put their mat, which way to face, what on earth “vinyasa” even meant.

I hid at the back and hoped nobody would notice me.

That feeling is so common, and it’s exactly why I’ve built this 6-week Beginners Course. It’s a space where nobody feels the need to hide, because everybody’s starting from the same place. The beginning!

Over 6 weeks, we’ll build the fundamentals : foundation poses, the breath, and the “why” behind it all, all at a pace that actually makes sense when you’re new to the practice, with room for discussion and no questions are considered to be silly.

We start on 30th Sept, meeting every Weds 6pm for 6 weeks.

Shanti, 46 Mill Street, Bideford.

Many of us are drowning in yang (activity, noise, doing) and craving more yin (stillness, peace, quiet)

If that sounds like you, join us for an indulgent 2hour candlelit yin workshop at Shanti Yoga and Wellness Space next Friday 28th August 7-9pm.

Includes guided meditation and spiced chai and snacks to close.

Book via link in bio.
All welcome.

Another week has passed and this one has felt heavy.

I didn’t like starting a brand new month without Pops. Another page turned, another reminder that the world keeps moving, even though it feels like part of mine has stopped.

I’ve also been deliberating about how much of this deeply personal journey to share here…

This space has always been about yoga, mindfulness, wellbeing and finding steadiness through life’s seasons. And whether I like it or not, grief has become one of those seasons…

It’s become a big part of how I move through the life now. It shapes the way I practise, the way I teach, and the way I listen, so it feels as relevant to share as anything else I post on these little squares.

I don’t want this page to become consumed by sadness. I know that there is still so much joy, beauty and laughter to be found here too.

But Yoga never asked us to be endlessly positive. It asks us to be present. To meet ourselves fully, honestly.

So here we are. This week has been hard.

I’ve cried more than usual. I’ve missed him deeply. I’ve found myself wanting to talk to him countless times. I’ve wished time would slow down because every day feels like being pulled further away from having him here.

I know there will be other hard weeks, alongside moments of joy, and everything in between.

I know that this season won’t be hurried, I’ll be in it for a while, and so pretending that it doesn’t hurt isn’t really an option.

If you’re carrying something heavy, I hope you know you don’t have to rush yourself. Whatever season you’re in, you’re allowed to be there as long as you need.

Sending love and gratitude for continuing to share this space with me, exactly as it is.

Anxiety that shows up out of nowhere in your 40s with no clear cause could be down to hormonal shifts. And that doesn’t make it any less real!

Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between a real threat and a perceived one- it responds the same way whatever, which means it can’t be rationalised or reasoned with, only regulated.

If this sounds familiar; my yoga for menopause programme is starting up again this Sept with a suite of offerings from one off workshops, online classes synched to your cycle, and the full 10 week course for more in-depth support.
