"When we practice yoga, we are better able to put our problems into perspective. We can't pretend they don't exist; we still have to deal with them. But with the physical, mental, and emotional flexibility that yoga gives us, we can move more easily, bend and flow with the stresses of life."
Bobby Clennell

Do you ever feel like you’re just not good enough?

That quiet inner voice that tells you you’re failing, falling behind, or somehow not measuring up can feel incredibly convincing.

But what if those thoughts aren’t facts… just patterns your mind has learned over time?

In my latest blog, I explore how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps us understand low self-esteem through three key layers:

✨ Core beliefs – the deep beliefs you hold about yourself
✨ Rules for living – the pressures and expectations you place on yourself
✨ Automatic thoughts – the day-to-day inner dialogue that shapes your confidence

Understanding these patterns can be the first step towards changing them.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re never quite enough, this blog may resonate with you.

The severity of practice by
itself is not the yardstick for
measuring success,
A pure mind and a right intention are necessary
yoga must be done gradually

“Geeta Iyengar “

The yoga pose is not the goal.Becoming flexible or standing on your hands is not the goal.The goal is to create space where you were once stuck. To unveil layers of protection you have built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and the noise it creates. To make peace with who you are. The goal is to love,...well, you.
Shift your focus and your heart will grow.

A second tribute to David Attenborough, who turned 100 yesterday.

In 1963, David Attenborough worked with violinist Yehudi Menuhin on the BBC documentary Yehudi Menuhin and his Guru. The film featured Menuhin’s teacher, B.K.S. Iyengar, and offered a rare glimpse of yoga on British television at that time.

The image above is a still from the BBC programme, later featured on the cover of 2023 Dipika magazine for Simon Crisp’s article, Rediscovering B.K.S. Iyengar on the BBC after Sixty Years.
