This week has honestly been one of the best weeks I've had in a long time, and yet nothing particularly special has happened.

No holidays, no celebrations, no major achievements.

The thing that has made it so amazing is simply being able to get back to living my normal life.

Since the accident in April, when I fell through some decking while away with some beautiful friends, life hasn't been quite the same. Things that I would normally do without even thinking suddenly became difficult or impossible. It has been frustrating at times and has really made me appreciate just how much we take our everyday lives for granted.

This week, I've found myself feeling grateful for the simplest things – being able to work, teach, move my body, practise yoga, spend time with people I love and just get on with life.

The experience has reinforced one of the Reiki principles for me: "Just for today, I will do my work honestly." When you're unable to do the work you love, you realise what a privilege it is to be able to show up and serve others. I can also see this reflected through Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga – offering our actions with devotion, gratitude and love.

What has surprised me most is how much this experience has made me realise that I genuinely love my life. Not because everything is perfect, but because of all the wonderful people, experiences and opportunities that fill it.

A lot of people have said, "That must have ruined your weekend." The truth is, it didn't. Thankfully it happened on the last day, and if anything, it reminded me how lucky I am.

It showed me just how caring, supportive and wonderful my friends are. Their kindness during and after the accident is something I will never forget.

Sometimes it takes losing something temporarily to realise how precious it really is.

This week, I'm simply grateful. Grateful for movement, grateful for health, grateful for work, grateful for friendship and grateful for the beautiful life I get to live every day. ❤️🙏

What a beautiful Self Care Sunday in Saughton Park Gardens 🌿✨️

I'm utterly amazed that we were blessed with such beautiful weather ☀️ being able to ground our practice in nature surrounded by bird song, fresh air and the beauty that we have it near enough on our doorstep 🌳 it felt a perfect reminder to slowly down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with ourselves and the natural world around us 🙏

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined our yoga session with Art and Spirituality :Yoga, Healing, Therapies, I'm so grateful to share these moments of connection, movement, creativity and calm with such a lovely group 💖

With no yoga this morning 🙏 this mornings walk turned into something a little bit magical ✨️

Me, Neil and Misty 🐾headed out with a simple idea 💡 each of us choose a colour and capture anything we spotted in that shade along the way 📸 what started a bit of fun quickly became something much more 🙌

By really looking for our colours ❤️💛 we noticed the tiny details we would usually pass by 🌱petals just beginning to open 🌷 fresh bursts of green 🌿little flashes of colour tucked into hedgerows and paths🪻Spring didn't just feel like a season🐣 it felt alive, unfolding right in front of us.

There is something so special about giving yourself permission to be present like that 🥰 to see the everyday with fresh eyes.

We created the photogrids of each colour at the end💛❤️ a snapshot of our walk and a reminder of how much beauty is always around us when we choose to notice it🧐

Maybe you can tell who had each colour 🤔 or maybe this inspires you to try this on your next walk 👣🐾 choose a colour and see what you discover 🌈

Yoga isn't about perfection its about regulation 🙏 Gentle, slow Yoga practices help to calm the nervous system by🕉
✨️Slowing the breath
✨️ Creating safety in the body
✨️ Reducing chronic stress responses

Our bodies crave softness not force throughout the cold winter and early spring 🥶🌱 this is why my teachings focus less on pushing and more on listening 🥰

Nature doesn't rush 🏃‍♀️ and yet everything gets done ✨️
When we begin to live in alignment with the natural rhythms 🌱 Daily 🌹 Seasonally 🥀 with the moon 🌙 we will often notice
✨️ Reduced Stress
✨️ Better Sleep
✨️ Emotional balance
✨️ Reduced S.A.D
✨️ A deeper sense of purpose
Yoga, Reiki, Cacao and honouring the Seasons are tools that help us remember what nature already knows 🙌
Throughout the year I will be sharing more ways on and off the mat to gently return to this natural flow 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️
