On Saturday 17th, I led a balanced fusion practice. Always thankful for the beautiful people who attend these sessions, 2.5 hours of intention setting, kundalini practice, meditation and playing with balancing poses. Some we could do and some we couldn’t so we had a bit of fun falling out of things. We also learnt how the postures can feel different in the body when we take time out to practice them.

Some questions for reflection on balance in your life:
- What does balance actually feel like to me right now?
- Where do I feel out of sync?
- What matters to me right now vs what gets most of my time.

A few poses we practiced:
- Crow and all its variations, baby, teenager, full, side
- Firefly
- Feathered peacock
- Dancers using the wall
- Half moon against the wall

I often talk of sthira and sukha in classes to encourage balance in poses – sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease). True balance is not a rigid or permanent fix, it is the quiet, attentive awareness of the present moment.

And a quote from my fav yoga teacher: “Yoga is a dance of dealing with what is, and allowing yourself to fully experience whatever you're experiencing right here, in the moment.” — Baron Baptiste (from Perfectly Imperfect: The Art and Soul of Yoga Practice)

I wonder how many of us really achieve this

A life lived from the heart becomes its own gift…

I have been asked recently about a slight change in my body, and I have put it down to the juicing I have gone back to. I always knew it was good for me and the difficulty of finding a juicer meant I had a year away from it. I can attest to the benefits of juicing:
- increased energy, basically more up and go
- greater clarity and passion
- general feeling of aliveness.

My recipe is: apple, beetroot, carrot, ginger and lemon - a shot of life. And a quick search with AI assistance confirms the benefits of this mix:

Juicing beets, ginger, and lemon creates a nutrient-rich drink that supports heart health, boosts energy, aids digestion, enhances immunity, and promotes skin vitality.

Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support
Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, helping relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing blood pressure Ginger adds anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that protect blood vessels and enhance circulation Lemon contributes vitamin C, which supports arterial health and collagen maintenance in vessel walls

Energy and Stamina
Beet juice improves oxygen efficiency during physical activity, enhancing stamina and endurance Ginger further boosts circulation, increasing alertness, while dates provide natural sugars for quick energy. Lemon helps replenish electrolytes and hydrate the body, making this juice a clean, sustainable energy source without the crash associated with sugary drinks

Digestive Health and Detoxification
Ginger stimulates bile production, reduces bloating, and aids digestion Lemon supports liver function and helps flush out toxins, while beets contain betaine, which promotes liver detoxification

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Beets, ginger, and lemon are rich in antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation

Brain and Cognitive Support
Beet juice improves cerebral blood flow, supporting memory and cognitive performance Ginger contains gingerol, which may protect brain cells and enhance attention and reaction time. Lemon’s antioxidants help reduce mental fatigue and support neurotransmitter function

Skin Health
Beets improve blood flow to the skin and provide vitamin A for skin renewal Ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce puffiness and irritation, while lemon’s vitamin C boosts collagen production and protects against oxidative damage.

ADD DATES AND ... Dates contribute additional antioxidants that support skin health and radiance.

Worth looking at and questioning how this pose is for you? What’s showing up in your pose and how you react?

I was just reading a yoga post, often I move on past but this one had a different feeling- loved it as I it hit my belief system, confirmation bias maybe but some good points
- it doesn’t have to be beige and look the same
- stop getting another training and more hours - practice
- not every class needs 12 transitions and a plot twist. Sometimes it’s just good to move and breathe. must admit this one made me laugh and the second point rings true as to what got me into yoga. Breath and movement
