Why Retreat? Three surprising reasons to unplug and leave it all behind.
"We’re drawn to retreat, but we can’t remain in it. The solitude of prayer and retreat renews us. Not only to be refreshed ourselves but to refresh—to love—others. As Rowan Williams says, retreat is “not some individual technique for communing with the divine but the...
Yoga Sequence for Equanimity
Path to the pose: Equanimity Last week, many people reflected on the the life of a man who fought against injustice with peace and love, and his life was taken from him. There's a troubling similarity between what was then and what is now, even though 50 years have...
Leading from Within
Meditating your way to the top This article is adapted from a talk I gave at the Society of Women Engineers Annual Conference in Austin - I was thrilled when SWE accepted my submission, as I'm working more in bringing together my various and seemingly contrasting...
An exciting announcement…
I'm organizing a retreat! My friends know I have been planning this retreat - my first - for a longggg time. I've been putting off getting it out there for fear that it wasn't perfect or I wasn't ready. Well it's not perfect, but I am ready to run the best damn...
Path to the pose – handstand
How to do handstand My #pathtothepose for handstand was inspired after a brilliant friend shared her copy of #journeytotheheart with me: today is all about being light, and allowing yourself to feel the joy of life It doesn't take much for us to feel heavy, it's easy...
Fierce Medicine: How Ana Forrest connected me with spirit
Fierce medicine is probably the most impactful book I’ve ever read. I read this book during my yoga teacher training, and during a holiday trip to Paris, I was reading it when my Nana passed away, and when I flew back for her funeral. Somehow (or so I thought) each...
Path to the pose – extended side angle
How to do extended side angle (utthita parsvakonasana) Extended side angle is another yoga basic. It's a powerful pose that lengthens your sides and spine, strengthens your legs and core, trains your muscles to support deeper breathing and boosts energy. A great pose...
Path to the Pose – Sun Salutation B
How to do Sun Salutation B Last week I was so busy it felt like time was flying by. On Thursday it was like no time passed between leaving the house in the morning and coming back at night. I missed almost a whole day, because I was wrapped up in busy-ness and...
Path to the pose – Sun Salutation A
This week I'll walk you through Sun Salutation A - a basic building block of a vinyasa flow and a way to energise your body and build heat and breath at the beginning of a practice. Anyone can do this sequence, and it's the perfect start if you want to try yoga. I'll...
Path to the pose – wheel
This week's #pathtothepose is another common pose that beginners and intermediates work towards: wheel or urdhva dhanurasana - this pose is an amazing back bend, heart and shoulder opener, and it strengthens arms, wrists, legs, spine, butt and core! Wheel requires a...
Path to the pose – crow
I had a conversation with my Dad recently and he commented on an Instagram shot I posted of me doing a handstand. He said he could NEVER do a handstand, and I realised I said exactly the same thing just a few years ago (and I'm still working on it). It got me...
Feeding the good wolf
An intention I’ve been working with in the past weeks is actually inspired by something a FANTASTIC YogaOne teacher, Piper, mentioned in one of her classes. There’s a Native American legend that speaks of two wolves fighting within all of us. One is evil, and...
