Half-term is a wonderful time for children to take a break from school, but it can also bring challenges for parents trying to balance work, household tasks, and keeping kids entertained. With excess energy to burn and routines disrupted, children can sometimes become restless or overwhelmed. This is where yoga can be a fantastic tool—not only as a way to keep kids active but also to introduce moments of calm and mindfulness into their day.

Practicing yoga with children doesn’t have to be long or complicated. It can be playful, imaginative, and full of movement, making it a great way to connect as a family. Whether your child needs a burst of energy in the morning or a relaxing wind-down before bed, these yoga practices will help bring balance to your half-term break.

February often brings the tail end of winter—cold days, sluggish energy, and a longing for the warmth of spring. This time of year can leave us feeling a bit stagnant, both physically and mentally. However, incorporating specific yoga poses into your routine can help invigorate the body, boost circulation, and increase energy levels, helping you feel more vibrant and alive.

Yoga is a powerful tool to stimulate the cardiovascular system, awaken dormant energy, and encourage a renewed sense of vitality. Below are some carefully selected poses to help you combat winter fatigue and feel your best this February.

As the New Year unfolds, many of us feel a sense of possibility and the desire to create positive change in our lives. It’s a natural time to reflect on our wellbeing and consider ways to nurture both body and mind. However, with busy schedules and the pressures of modern life, the idea of committing to a daily yoga practice can feel overwhelming. The good news? Building a sustainable yoga habit doesn’t have to be daunting. But by starting small, you can experience profound benefits that ripple into every aspect of your life.

As the New Year begins, many of us feel compelled to set resolutions, determined to create a fresh start. Whether it’s committing to a healthier lifestyle, learning a new skill, or breaking an old habit, resolutions often symbolise our desire to improve and grow. Yet, by February, many of these resolutions falter, leaving us feeling disheartened.

But why do resolutions so often fail? And how can yoga offer us a wiser, more sustainable approach to creating meaningful change?

Christmas is a time of giving, and what better gift than one that supports wellness, mindfulness, and inner peace? Yoga gifts are perfect for seasoned practitioners and beginners alike, offering something meaningful and beneficial. From practical props to thoughtful experiences, here’s a guide to help you find the perfect yoga gift for your loved ones (or yourself!) this festive season.

As December arrives, the festive season takes centre stage. The lead-up to Christmas is filled with sparkle, joy, and celebration, but it can also bring an overwhelming sense of pressure. The to-do lists are endless—shopping, decorating, cooking, and socialising—all layered with the expectation of creating the “perfect” holiday experience. For many, this time of year feels far from restful.

But amidst the hustle and bustle, winter whispers an invitation to slow down. The shorter days and longer nights align with nature’s rhythm of rest and renewal. This makes it the perfect season to embrace Yin Yoga—a deeply restorative practice that encourages rest, reflection, and reconnection with yourself.

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, November invites us to embrace the cosy and reflective energy of late autumn, early winter. However, the chilly weather can sometimes leave us feeling sluggish, cold, and a little less motivated to move. This is where yoga steps in as a nurturing and energising practice to help us stay warm, invigorated, and balanced during the colder months.

As the vibrant energy of summer fades into the crisp embrace of autumn, it’s a natural time to reflect on how we nourish both our bodies and our minds. This transitional season offers a unique opportunity to slow down, take stock, and realign ourselves with nature. As a yoga teacher, I often encourage my students to approach autumn with intention, using both yoga and nutrition as tools to find balance and harmony during this time of year.

As a keen yogi, I have on many occasions witnessed people in yoga classes being incredibly hesitant to use props in their yoga practice. Many see props as a sign of weakness or something that beginners rely on. So, as a yoga teacher, I made a decision to always tell my students that props are our friends and we always experiment with props vs. no props so we can notice how we feel. Props can actually enhance your practice, no matter your level of experience. They offer support, allow for deeper engagement in poses, and help prevent injury. In this post, we'll explore why using props can be so beneficial, address some common misconceptions, and highlight poses that can be enhanced or adapted with props to suit different needs.
