WELEDA, THE FIELD.

I have, for the past year been a Wellbeing Advisor with Weleda. This is a relatively new initiative started by Weleda, UK. It is a great way to be involved with a super range, all of them being made from 100% natural products. As an Advisor I am self-employed and can sell as much or … Continued



EARLY SUMMER…

Summer has apparently arrived! However, in my part of the world there is not a whole heap of evidence that this is true! Today is cool, breezy with the odd but very effective downpour. It’s therefore a brilliant day to write my blogpost for OM Yoga magazine which is way behind schedule. Those of you … Continued

A few words on this beautiful spring morning. These words are taken from A Year of Living Your Yoga by Juudith Hanson Lasater… ‘Responding appropriately is an art.

ENOUGH….

‘Let whatever you do today be enough.’ These words were posted on Facebook by a Forrest Yoga friend and really impacted on me on that particular day.

WALK IN BEAUTY….

          A Navajo Prayer With Beauty beside me I walk. With Beauty behind me I walk. With Beauty before me I walk. With Beauty inside me I walk.       It is finished in Beauty.                         — Ana Forrest’s version … Continued
