OM YOGA SHOW….MANCHESTER.

This is just a brief post about the OM YOGA SHOW which is back up here in Manchester.  We in the North West are very proud of our city and it is great to have lots of super yoga folk descending upon us and sharing all their love and joy about yoga, tai chi, Pilates … Continued



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. I truly needed that gentle shove as I am always wondering how to do more, learn more, practice more yoga…the list is really rather tedious! In actual fact … Continued



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



TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION…FORTY YEARS ON.

There has been a lovely double issue of OM Yoga magazine for me to gently read through these past two months. I began my year in a slow and gradual way. I have been in no real hurry to get up to speed and leap into all that ‘New Year, New Me’ thing. I have … Continued



JUST ANOTHER WALK!

SOME THOUGHTS ON A FROSTY MORNING….

Or simply the need to feel. Whatever the reason  the day was simply beautiful. The sky, a deep blue, the air still … Continued



A GOOD YEAR…..

My work-year is now complete. I saw my final massage clients last week and taught my last yoga classes the week before. It is time now for some rest and space.  I have for a long time truly relished the week between Christmas and New Year. These are days when we walk, read and, for … Continued



AN INTRODUCTION TO SHAMANISM.

A while ago I was pottering around Google for information on Shamanism which I have had an interest in for over ten years. I first encountered it during my Reiki training with Elaine Swords who uses The Native Amercan Ways. I loved being part of The Circle and gained a lot from my time with … Continued



ANOTHER GREEN JUICE….

So here we are with something healthy. There is always a place for another Green Juice recipe…. Even in these colder months I still aim to have one fresh juice a day. I have it first thing in the morning and then I know I have fed myself a whole bundle of nutrition. However, because … Continued
