What if this isn’t you  doing something…but the universe, at play, experiencing itself through you? Over many years of study my prime interest and where I devote my time (alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine) in non-dual Shaivism. I’ve found myself returning, again and again, to contemplate: the nature of the divine? This Easter period, with the name of “God” echoing loudly in places it often feels misused or misunderstood, that question has resurfaced with renewed intens

If I had £10 for every time someone told me, ‘I can’t do yoga, I’m not flexible enough,’ I’d be retired by now! It’s one of the most common misconceptions about yoga and one of the most limiting. Yet I still hear it all the time. Somewhere along the way, yoga became synonymous with flexibility: deep backbends, splits, gravity-defying shapes.

Studios are full, reformers are booked out weeks in advance, and when you dive into the details you notice the language around all movement modalities is about results, tone, precision, and efficiency. Meanwhile, yoga, once the "cultural darling" of the wellness world feels strangely quieter. Almost out of fashion. I have been chatting about this with many yogi freinds and colleagues and I know I am not alone in noticing this. Practising yo

Exploring Restorative Yoga as a Practice of Being, Not Doing When was the last time you truly rested? Not just slept — but rested in a way that left your mind clear, your body soft, and your heart at ease? In a world that celebrates 'busy', stillness can feel unfamiliar. We rush, we strive, and even in our downtime, we’re often still “doing” - scrolling, reading... Yet rest — real, conscious rest — is not a luxury. It’s a necessity for balance, healing, and emotional resili

If you’ve ever rolled out your muscles on a tennis ball, lacrosse ball, or any other orb-shaped torture device, you know the sweet mix of discomfort and relief that follows. But what you may not know is that you’re not really working on your muscles at all — you’re working on something far more fascinating: your fascia. And when it comes to fascia, a little rolling goes a long way toward keeping your body supple, strong, and connected. This article is your deep dive into why
