I started teaching yoga at 21... and for years I hid how old I was.

I genuinely believed people would see me as less qualified because I was young 🤸‍♀️A lot of that came from my own imposter syndrome, but it was also reinforced by some of the environments I worked in.

Teaching in my 20s has taught me...

✨That some people will judge your age before they even experience your teaching.

✨That confidence can be be mistaken for arrogance when you’re a young woman.

✨That not every yoga space is built on community, some are built on hierarchy.

✨That you don’t need to prove your worth to people who’ve already decided not to see it.

✨That you may be the youngest in the room, but no one else is more qualified to teach your class than you are.

✨That the right studios, teachers and students will value you for who you are, not how old you are.

It’s not been an easy journey but it has shaped me into the teacher I am today, and has made me even more committed to creating classes where people feel seen, supported and like they belong, because that’s what yoga should be 🥰

Turns out, the hardest part of becoming a yoga teacher wasn’t learning how to teach. It was believing I deserved to be there.

Maybe one day I’ll spill a little more tea... 👀🍿

Until then, just know the yoga industry isn’t always as peaceful as Instagram makes it look.

Have you ever felt underestimated or patronized because of your age? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The Simple Life 🪨

I’ve just got back from a week in Fontainebleau, France, and damn do I feel good right now 🤸‍♀️

Seven days of climbing, walking, laughing, and spending more time outdoors than I have in a long time gave me exactly what I needed: space to slow down, reconnect with myself, and reflect.

And one of the things I found myself reflecting on most was my relationship with yoga.

Recently, my yoga practice has looked very different, partly because of injury, partly because I’m teaching less, and partly because life has changed a lot over the past few months.

I haven’t been spending as much time on my mat as I once did, and for a while I found myself questioning what that meant 🧐

But this trip reminded me of something that I hadn’t forgotten, but perhaps hadn’t prioritised.

Yoga isn’t just a physical practice, and it certainly isn’t something that only exists on the mat 🪷

The postures are one part of it, but the deeper practice is learning how to be in relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

It’s learning to pay attention.
To notice.
To be present.
And to meet life as it comes rather than constantly rushing towards what’s next.

And while I didn’t spend much time on an actual yoga mat last week, I found myself practising yoga every day 🌳 in quiet moments, in conversations with friends, and in slowing down enough to appreciate where I was 🌳

Of course, I still love practising on my mat and after a week away, I can’t wait to get back to it. But I think it’s important to remember that yoga can be practised anywhere. When we approach life with intention and awareness, its teachings have a way of seeping into every aspect of our lives🧘🏼‍♀️

Anyway this post is mostly just to say, hi, I’m back 👋

And if you’ve had some time away from your mat too, and are feeling called to reconnect with the physical side of your practice, I’d love to see you in the studio:

✨This Sunday | Extended Practice | 9:00am - 11:00am
✨ Monday | Feel Good Flow | 5:45pm & 7:00pm
✨ Tuesday | Movement Magic | 5:45pm

So… a lot has shifted for me recently ✨

One of the biggest changes being that I’ve stepped back into employed life alongside teaching yoga, which has meant making some changes to my schedule and stepping away from my classes and community

And if I’m honest, I’ve felt really sad about it. I know it was a change that needed to happen for my wellbeing, but it’s still been hard to say goodbye 😔

was such a huge part of my life for over 3 years. It wasn’t just somewhere I taught classes, but somewhere we built a real community together week after week.

I don’t think it’s talked about enough just how personal yoga teaching is. A class isn’t just a slot in your schedule or a room you teach in for an hour. It’s a space you build, nurture, and pour yourself into, where people come and actually choose to be guided by you, to listen, to move, to soften, and to trust you with their attention and energy 🥰

A class is never just a class.It becomes a space that represents you and everything you stand for.

So walking away from it has felt really strange, like something that held so much meaning and so much energy suddenly just… stopped.

I think part of what’s been difficult is that teaching exists so much in moments. Once a class ends, it’s gone. There’s nothing physical to hold onto afterwards, just the impact it had, the people you shared it with, and the version of yourself that existed inside it.

And I think that’s why it’s felt so emotional. Because all you’re really left with is the hope that in some way, you made a difference to people. That maybe someone left feeling a little lighter, a little calmer, a little more connected to themselves than when they arrived.

Anyway, I’m still here, still teaching, still creating, and still figuring out what this next chapter looks like 📚

And to everyone who was part of my Flow classes over the years, thank you ❤️

Thank you for trusting me, for showing up, and for being part of my crew. I love you guys and I can’t wait to see where your practice takes you next 🤸

Love,
Alice xoxo

LAST CHRISTMAS 🤍

I’m a bit late to the party but these Polaroids felt too precious not to share (still tryna work out how to take a pic of a Polaroid without a reflection, any ideas lemme know)

2025 was a big year, so many special memories were made and Christmas was no exception 🥰

Forever grateful for my beautiful friends and family for being such legends, for making me laugh and for putting up with my s**t 🤣

Love you always xx

I can’t believe I’m actually doing this…

I’m running a DAY RETREAT!🕺

I’ve been dreaming of hosting a retreat for this community for as long as I can remember. I’ve dabbled with the idea through workshops and Yoga Supper Clubs, but I’ve never fully committed to a longer event because, if I’m being totally honest, I didn’t think I could pull it off.

I’ve always had a really loud, annoying inner critic, and over the years, through my yoga practice, I’ve learnt to rise above my limiting beliefs and trust myself more. But unfortunately self-employment is the perfect breeding ground for imposter syndrome and it makes me question myself a lot more than I’d care to admit 🫣

But right now I’ve decided to just step into that fear and say f**k it!

I want to create a day for movement, play, and seasonal reset, so that’s exactly what I’m gonna do 🙌🏼 A space to reconnect with yourself, make new friends, and just have fun.

So drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁 I'm very excited to announce my...

Italy Part 1 - Napoli 🇮🇹

Finally getting round to sharing some holiday snaps and if I’m honest it’s taken me a bit of time to recover!

Napoli was CRAZYYY!! So much fun but such high energy. We ate so many delicious baked goods and soaked up the cities culture but it definitely didn’t go without its stresses 🫣

Feeling very grateful though to have had the chance to get away and learn some valuable lessons🍕
