hello everyone. this is not a drill. I have some important news to share that might change the way that you approach wellness practitioners that you need to hear. most of us are healing too I choose not to work. I do, I chose it. Because I could not. I had options. I found myself…

I had this feedback recently:  “Why would I pay £1000 for something I can get for £45 with my local teacher.” Go, go to your local teacher. I don’t mind. I want to break the standards set around charging what you want, what you deserve and what makes sense. I could and have copied my…

Yoga teaching is hard. I get it. I decided a very short time into my teaching and training career that I wasn’t going to be good at teaching the way I had seen others do. What I was incredibly good at, and still am is endlessly creating from my practice. I love to think about…

As a sensitive person, working hard on their own convalescence it has come to my attention that there are some “trafficking” my services as a “healer”. There is no way to work with me other than those detailed on this website. Any persons claiming otherwise is a fraudster, and I cannot be held responsible for…

This last month was intense. The end of June marked a black hole in my calendar which was the birthday of my much beloved cousin, who died in 2018.  The second week of July also brought in the one year anniversary of the passing of Sally Kempton, an incredible teacher who I am very much…

I’m essentially on indefinite sick leave from life and so have done everything as a kind of slightly obsessive DIY project, head-to-toe. I did the whole thing. The…

This was a little bit of a decision to make. I’ve taken a lot of stock at where I am. Practice has become so different. I am not practising asana every day right now. It doesn’t work with my schedule or routine and I’ve been studying other ways to be with my yoga practice. And…

I recently tried to assess, without actively engaging in a gratitude practice, where I got my positivity from. It was when I was trying to work out how I was keeping myself buoyed during such challenging times. And I realised that I spent time looking at my surroundings and just resting in thankfulness and appreciation…

No, it’s not. I used to live at jewel.yoga and now I’m back with something a bit pared down. Really, this year is for me to rest, research and heal, so what I add as published content I’m doing because I feel there’s energy and capacity to do it. And really, I encourage you to…
