So good to see 8 of our club receive their promotions tonight. Such a great celebration.

Always reminds me of how far I've come too.

I remember sitting as a parent 2016 to 2019 and watching people make that transition, receive their promotion. I thought wow. How did they do that. Eventually I decided to try taekwondo for myself, got over being scared. Got over wondering what if. I definitely didn't imagine the last 7 years! Imagine if I'd never done it, the experiences, the knowledge, the people and the places and the memories I'd have missed out on.

Always do the thing, even if you do it scared..

Congratulations to everyone who ever walked this path. 🥋

Friday night was the final session of 18 months. We have now completed our theory and practice and this was so worth celebrating. We are now continuing to develop our teaching and together will work towards the assessments that will enable us to be qualified yoga teachers, meaning it is approximately 2 years of studying, in addition to decades of personal practice. A yoga teacher is not created overnight. It has taken so much time and dedication for all of us, navigating the study of thousands of years knowledge and integration of yoga into every day life.

We had such a wonderful group of ladies. 18 years ago this week, I attended my first class at the yoga village and knew it was something special. I hoped i would have chance to come again. As I moved through 3 pregnancies, postnatal classes, toddler classes and adult classes, I knew that it was a unique and wonderful space. I completed my kids yoga training in 2010 with support from Hannah and knew eventually I would love to experience a full teacher training. But it would have to be the right one. And when Hannah suggested running a training I jumped at it. It was less of a training and more of an apprenticeship in yoga. Being gently held and guided in how to create a nurturing practice for ourselves and how to hold a safe and trauma informed space for students coming to our classes. This is something I have deeply appreciated receiving from Hannah over many years at very difficult times and I felt that it was essential I could learn from the person who could show me how to do this on my own teaching.

Journeying with all of these women and the many who have joined us at different times has been truly special. We have learned so much and yet it is only the very surface.
They are the most supportive, encouraging and loving group of people and we have grown together. It has been a privilege to share this time and we will continue to watch each other grow. We had the most amazing karma yoga week in Wales in April at . I've not yet posted because it was too special to put into words.

Friday was a beautiful celebration of so much.
I am forever blessed for this experience. 🙏🏻🕯️🙏🏻🕯️

Whoops didn't post before but that's great as it means you can head on over to the Area 54 band YouTube now and listen to part 3 right away, and 1 and 2 if you haven't already.

Revealing and honest about why we've waited so long for a reunion, what an absolute miracle it is that it's happening and a sense of excitement for what is to come, as well as a sense of release from what has been.

Remember to comment on the videos when you've watched them!

Just feeling some joy to receive this today from my yoga teacher Hannah

Beautiful memory from almost 14 years ago. Teaching kids yoga at the yoga camp! My daughter next to me and My older son is the baby with his back to the pole. A beautiful day, followed with an incredible Havan where we chanted 108 rounds of the Maha Mrityunjaya while the most amazing thunderstorm was going on, filling our boots with rain water, but promptly ending as we finished.

There's been so many incredible experiences in the last 18 years. At this point I'd been teaching kids yoga for 2 years. I'd decided then when the right adult yoga course appeared I'd take the opportunity. It took 16 years but when the student was ready, so was the teacher 😁

During a teaching practice last night, we also took the opportunity to use the full moon and Beltane energy to create new paths or continue on old ones. And less than a day after I'd had some more nudges, created a plan to rebuild the kids side of my yoga, the universe presented this image as well.

So much gratitude and appreciation for trusting and knowing abs connecting to the people and places that are meant to be. Excited to see what this season blooms into. 🤲🙏🏻🌒🌕🌘

Oh and then I got a lego witch in my lego blind bag with two wands for double the magic 🪄 just to add some joy.

I always love preparing for a client. Soft place to rest, cleansing the space with charcoal burning sage. A great day for opening the windows and letting the fresh air in. The garden is in growth, colour coming in, but still with plenty of time for their full energy to shine.

You're very welcome to this space if reiki, shamanic feeling, meditation, yoga and pranayama call to you. I'd love to hear from you if this looks like the right space for your own healing and support

On the Nottingham/ Derbyshire border.

If it's not for you, I'd love it if you'd share it with/ tag/ share in stories. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely amazing day at finals. Not competing this year due to being unavailable in February to qualify at 2nd degree. However i was asked by my club instructor to stand in as coach for our competitors. Unexpected but welcome opportunity and I hope i managed to encourage and support them well and take on board the experiences and support I have in the past. Always something to learn.
So extraordinarily proud of our club but it was also great to see friends and familiar faces stepping up to show what they're made of.
The teams championship was wonderful. From the tiny kup grades up to experienced world champions, the level of performance was exciting and showed much hard work has taken place.

This is just a small selection of the photos i took on the day. Wonderful memories, especially when you take a quick snap and it turns out to be a fabulous action shot!

Onwards and upwards. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. Looking forward to the next opportunity!

Sometimes you are just so known you don't even realise until certain people show they know you. (, or you have a conversation and that person goes hey I'm going to find it and change that....)
Appreciate that so much. I love gifting. It's absolutely my love language to find just the thing that is so much someone's thing. It's not so often it happens for me because I'm a bit quirky but this last few weeks it definitely has from 3 different people. I appreciate any one thinking about me enough to want to gift but this has been next level. 🐞 🪽

Just so flipping happy about this today. Yesterday a whole group of people, most of whom we only met in September, 100 percent went out of the way to make sure Jacob and I could eat the same nice things as everyone else. I'm so used to going places and there being nothing I was planning to opt out of the fuddle and take our own but they went large and it mattered. It is so so special when people go, we can make accomodation for you so you don't have to miss out either. I meat.. check out the cookies. Jacob absolutely loved them. He had also found an amazing recipe for chocolate chip gooey cookies so he helped me make them to take as well.

Hard going to refuse since I've not eaten chocolate, biscuits , cake or sweets for 8 months...

Scroll through and check out the biscuits though. Wow.

K, S&A C ### thank you and all the lovely party ladies especially C and I and L

With the amount of taekwondo posts it's possibly lost the idea that this page is for my business offering holistic therapies including reiki and shamanic sessions, kids yoga, laughter yoga and the process of full yoga teacher training.
This doesn't even look like holistic therapy post.
But it is. This is medicinal joy giving fun for me.

5 years ago during those covid times, our long running laughter yoga with the fabulous Suzy
hit an absolute peak of awesome when we declared that the 1st Tuesday in December should be known as colander Tuesday - We have indeed met every year on the 1st Tuesday, ever since then for a good old time ( not to mention many other times in between).
Once again we gathered with as many of our fabulous crew as possible for laughing and chortling and guffawing.

What a joy it was to laugh with you all.
FYI - the little gnome on top is coming with me to be the star of the kids yoga and laughs class tomorrow at forest group for our "bendy chuckles" winter adventures 😉
And if anyone thought I was a bit wacky before and hadn't previously seen a post about laughter - well - now you have the confirmation that I am not to be categorised as normal lol and this is a great thing...... calling me weird - it is the truth lol
