The New Moon in Aries — The Spark That Begins
Today’s new moon rises in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and the point from which everything begins again. If Pisces was the dream, the dissolving, the softening at the edges… Aries is the moment we open our eyes and decide what we are going to do with it.

April: Air, Space, and the Quiet Expansion of the Heart
This month, I invite you into the element of air, and into something even more refined than that - space. This is the place of the heart. Not just the physical heart, but the energetic centre of Anahata. The space where breath moves freely. Where we meet ourselves and others with a little more gentleness. Where we begin to soften the edges we have been holding so tightly.

The New Moon in Pisces: The Dream Before the Dawn
On 19th March, we arrive at the New Moon in Pisces, the final new moon of the astrological year.
There is something quietly powerful about this particular moment in the lunar cycle. Pisces sits at the very end of the zodiac wheel, where things soften, dissolve, and begin to return to the great ocean of possibility. This is not simply a beginning. It is a threshold between an ending and a beginning.

The Fire of Clarity
Fire is often associated with intensity, transformation, and power. But in yoga philosophy, fire also has another quality that is quieter, but just as important: clarity.

Kindness Without Witness
We may not be able to change everything happening across the globe, but we can shape the atmosphere in our homes, our streets, and our communities. A small act of kindness offered quietly, right where we are, is never insignificant. In its own gentle way, it helps tip the balance of the world toward a little more care.

The Fire of Integration: Working with Samana Vayu
In yoga we often talk about breath in a very simple way. We inhale and we exhale. But within the deeper teachings of yoga philosophy, the movement of breath and energy in the body (prana) is understood to be much more nuanced.
The yogic tradition describes five main movements of prana, known as the five vayus.
The word vayu means wind or movement. These are not physical structures we can point to in the body, but rather patterns of energetic movement that describe how l

The Fire That Digests Experience
As we move deeper into March, our yoga practice continues to explore the fire element.
Fire is often associated with energy, effort, and transformation. In yoga philosophy it relates to Manipura chakra, the centre of digestion and inner power.
When we hear the word digestion, most of us immediately think of food. But the yogic understanding of digestion is much broader than that.

The Art of Rest - Yin and Restorative Yoga with Live Sound
If you have ever practised with me, you will know that rest is never an afterthought. I teach rest as a spiritual practice. It is woven through everything I teach. In the pauses between movements. In the way we arrive. In the way we end our practise. But there is something different about dedicating an entire evening to it.

Yoga Is Called a Practice for a Reason
Each January, there is a familiar energy in my yoga classes. New intentions are set. Mats are unrolled with enthusiasm. People arrive with a sense that this might be the year they finally establish a practice. But yoga was never meant to belong only to the beginning of the year.

March Full Moon - The Worm Moon
March’s full moon arrives at an in-between time. Winter is loosening its grip, but spring has not yet found its voice. This moon, traditionally known as the Worm Moon, is named not for symbolism but for observation. As the soil softens, life begins to move again beneath the surface. Earthworms return, birds follow, and the land starts to breathe after a long period of holding.
