Yoga classes in the UK and the US are mostly led by people (like me) who don’t have an understanding of the ancient Sanskrit language and have not spent an extended time in that culture. Aspects of yoga are ancient; many aspects are not that ancient. I see a lot of yoga out there that […]
1. My first ‘proper’ job, 22 years ago, was at the BBC, writing software to support the launch of digital television (remember when we only had 4-5 channels?!) 2. I held myself back because of a lack of confidence for many years. 3. I worked in dozens of different offices within the BBC. But because […]
Well, not always. Over the twenty years I’ve been doing yoga I’ve had, or worsened, many injuries through yoga practice. While many times I left yoga classes feeling better than when I walked in… occasionally I left feeling worse. Wheel is an example of a pose that injured my back several times, leaving me with […]
1. You love what yoga does for you:- the improvements in flexibility and strength, the moments of calm and emotional ease, and the growing self-acceptance and confidence within yourself. 2. You enjoy working with people:- you’re curious about humans, especially the mysterious interaction between mind, body and spirit, and you’re fascinated by the healing power […]

It is a fragile thing to be a human… Navigating our endlessly changing world, which, in the 21st Century, just doesn’t make sense most of the time… Feeling “not quite right” but not really knowing why… Unsure of the “right thing” or the “wrong thing” to do or say, and seeing other people having a […]
So long 2020: year of cancellations, disappointment and contraction. Before I was always doing something, always going somewhere; now shopping at Tescos is the highlight of my week. Well… apart from the yoga: seeing lots of lovely folk on my Zoom screen several times a week. Finding a way to connect, and achieve something positive: […]
