Let’s talk about writer’s block and how we can overcome it… Hey everyone. It’s been a hot minute. I wish I had a legitimate excuse for my lengthy hiatus but, honestly, my life isn’t that interesting. I haven’t been sunning myself on white sandy beaches or travelling the world. My internet connection is fine (I’m still intimately acquainted with Netflix).…
Let’s talk about how you can look after your mental health in summer… Summer’s well and truly on its way and, as the clouds part, hordes of half-naked Britons flock to the streets in search of ice cream and fruit cider. It’s the season of beer-gardens, bikinis and BBQs (although, only the bravest could pull off all three at once hello…
It’s time to debunk some popular yoga myths. It’s 5.30am on Saturday (a sentence said by no sane person ever) and I’m standing in Nero waiting to order coffee. I’m awake because it’s time for another yoga teacher training weekend; in a few hours, I’ll be grappling with Sanskrit and jumping up and down on my mat lamenting the day I…
Is social media getting you down? It might be time to detox your newsfeed. Ah, social media – you beautiful and complex thing.

If you’re an introvert – this blog post is for you. Let me set the scene. It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m walking back to the office after lunch; I push open the glass doors to my building, carefully balancing a coffee in my spare hand, and dash across the reception area into one of the three lifts. On entering the…
Today, I’m asking can negative emotions benefit our yoga practice? “Today the sun is shining and I am grateful for this beautiful day #sunshine #yoga #goodvibes”. “There’s so much attention given to negative news that sometimes we let that negativity overshadow all of the love in the world #positivevibes #love #yoga”. “Open your heart and see love everywhere. The world is beautiful…
Are you thinking about trying Bikram or another form of hot yoga? If so, prepare with the tips and honest advice in this blog. I’m dubious of any style of yoga where students pass out in class. Call me a traditionalist, but I fail to see how fainting brings us closer to enlightenment. However, I also suffer from extreme FOMO…
Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimised by the #YogaEveryDamnDay. I know I have. #YogaEveryDamnDay is the modern-day mantra for the serious yogi and there are hundreds of articles out there telling you how to achieve it; get up earlier, redecorate your yoga space so it’s more white girl basic zen, pray for motivation, generally be a better person… the list…
Now I’m officially in my mid-20s, I feel qualified to give advice (lol). Don’t worry, I’m not talking about boring stuff like changing light-bulbs or fixing a broken fuse (there are usually real adults around to do that stuff).
