Weekend vibes. 😍 Friday cocktails and catch up @tequilamock Saturday mooch around Guildford high street with lunch at @gigglingsquid Sunday visit to Epsom’s vegan market for some delicious treats from @ripeandnine 😋

Just a gentle reminder to breathe. When teaching yoga or Pilates you’ll often hear regular reminders, this serves two purposes: 1. making sure you breathe in the most efficient way for the movement 2. Just as a reminder Remembering to breathe is probably the hardest thing to do when you start a new class, and don’t worry if it takes a couple of months to get used to it. I often here that when people first start yoga they’re concentrating so much on which muscles to engage that they forget to breathe so the reminder is always good. This often translates into daily life too. When we’re so focussed on a task, worried or stressed sometimes we forget to breathe or our breathing becomes shallow, which in turn can increase our heart rate. Take time to see if you can focus on your breathing and work in an even inhale or exhale. Perhaps working to a count of 4. If your feeling a little stressed, aim to inhale for 4 and exhale for 8. The extended exhale will help to reduce your heart rate bringing about a sense of calm.

😍 Love this stationary! Lots of admin to catch up on and bright stationary always makes admin tasks more fun. These set of books are all based in the seven chakras. Honestly though with new stationary I love to look at it and always wait for a special occasion to use it. 😍

Well hello Friday! This week has flown by and we’re almost halfway through January. Can you feel the days starting to get a little longer already? As it’s been a little grey outside I treated myself to these amazing Birds of Paradise. Great way to brighten up the home. 🌟 Fancy a little yoga this weekend? Come and join us in Motspur Park 9:30. Free Parking. 🧘

Blog. Blogging. Blogged. Every now and then I have the urge to write some words. It’s a process I enjoy. I started doing the odd blog about two years ago and asked my sister to review the work before it went out as I was so nervous and felt incredibly vulnerable! Does anyone else experience this with writing and the hitting the publish button? Over time I have started to feel a bit more confident and allowed myself to just let it go, although I make sure I review my work the day or even after a week after it is written to see if it still flows and hopefully catch any mistakes. So go over to my website via the link in bio if you fancy ready about my thoughts for this month. Title: Did someone say New Year’s resolution? Any advice, feedback or constructive criticism welcome 😘

Happy Friday! Who’s got that Friday feeling?! Flash back to a walk in the park with friends. Whenever I see these bars in the park, I have the urge to go upside down. These were a little too low, but i did have a lovely stretch. Fancy a little stretch this weekend. You can join me for: Saturday yoga 9:30-10:30 Motspur Park 🧘‍♀️ Sunday candlelight yoga and meditation 18:30-20:00 Motspur Park 🧘‍♀️ We won’t be upside down but we may feel a little rested and rejuvenated afterwards 🌟
