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



‘STALKING YOUR FEAR’ AND OTHER THINGS….

The photograph above was taken in a quiet corner of a beautiful garden in Italy. The surroundings were peaceful, gentle and inviting and then there was this chap! He was really rather spectacular and yet there was a sense of him inhabiting a dark space deep within me. He seemed, to me at least, the … Continued



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



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.

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



YOGA SUPPORT.

The lovely OM Yoga Magazine is well and truly out! It is simply full of great articles. I particularly like all that has been written in the ‘Yoga For Every Body‘ part of the magazine. I have always been ‘well-built’! Now that means many things to many people but basically I have always been a … Continued



CREATIVITY.

September is over and already we are flowing into October! Or, perhaps it feels more like a stagger as we move towards the end of yet another year. What I am aware of is that my little bit of a blog inspired by the latest Om Yoga magazine is somewhat late in its creation! Therefore, … Continued



GORGEOUS YOGA CLOTHES…

Some time ago I was contacted by Kismet  yoga clothes and asked if I would like to do a blog post for their lovely clothing.  Life is so interesting if you soften into the flow of it…..in one of my OM Yoga Magazines I had actually noticed one of Kismet’s adverts. It needs to be said … Continued
