I don’t know about you but for me this year winter has felt long, damp, and cold. As we begin to meander gently toward spring, I’m reminded of the cyclical nature of ourselves just like the seasons.
Winter can be a reflective time, a time for rest and contemplation, refueling through conservation and introspection. And while all of this has been true for me at times through this winter, I’m traveling toward spring feeling a little heavy and yearning for some lightness.

There’s something quietly special about Friday mornings at Oca.
Since late spring last year, I’ve had the joy of teaching both Pregnancy Yoga and then Mum & Baby Yoga, and over time these classes have begun to weave into a shared thread of care, connection, and transformation.

Our last circle was a deeply profound and heart-opening gathering, honouring the many layers of the mother, the mother within, the mothers who came before us and the ways we nurture life around us.

Thank you to everyone who joined and shared their presence, voices and hearts. There was something truly special in the circle we co-created.

As promised, here are the new songs we sang during the circle may they continue to support you, connect you and bring you back to that feeling whenever you need it.

I have never known a more liberating thing than moving with grief as an erotic embodiment practice. I am personally moving with a tonne of grief in my life right now, grief for some womb health things I’m going through as those who have been to circle recently know, grief for a friend who recently lost her 2 year old baby, grief for women’s pain bodies with everything being stirred by the Epstein Files.

This month l’ve been observing the fire energy which exists in all of us. Sparks and friction during interactions with others can be seen as moments of potential to meet with curiosity about what positives can be manifested.

If you spend any time around Pilates this month, you might notice the hashtag #MarchMatness appearing on social media. It’s a tradition within the Pilates community where teachers and practitioners around the world share one of the original mat exercises each day throughout March, celebrating the classical repertoire and the legacy of the man behind the method.

Over the past month, I’ve noticed a lot of strong energetic shifts, both in the world around us and within ourselves. It feels like the pace of life has been moving in waves: moments of intensity followed by moments that invite us to slow down and listen more closely to what’s happening inside.

Lately I’ve been reasearching and experimenting on creatine for brain health.
Most people think creatine is just for muscle and gym performance, but it’s actually involved in how our brain produces energy. The brain uses a huge amount of ATP (our cells’ energy currency), and creatine helps regenerate it so neurons can keep firing efficiently.

For some time now I’ve felt a quiet craving for creativity.

A sense of something within me asking to be expressed.
Perhaps you know the feeling, when life becomes a little too full of screens, lists, notifications, and the pressure to stay on top of everything. The to-do list, as we all know, is never ending.

I’ve been longing to use my hands and my mind in a different way.

This month I’m dedicating my thoughts to Gabi, our amazing leader, and the gorgeous Oca team.

I’ve been teaching Rocket yoga weekly at Oca since the studio opened and it very quickly became the highlight of my week. I feel so honoured to teach in such a stunning space and become a part of this genuinely supportive and heart warming community.

I’ve been late this month sharing my blog, and realise it’s also a time I’ve neglected to check-in with myself and articulate fleeting thoughts into words.

February was a theme of hips, the “seat“ of emotion and creativity! Exploring this through different styles of yoga including Hatha and Restore unleashed a creativity in sequencing and poetry.

I truly love teaching my elders class every Thursday. I’ve always felt that older generations can too easily be overlooked or pushed aside, and it saddens me when that happens. A healthy society should honour, care for and provide for its elders, they carry wisdom, lived experience and stories that enrich us all.

This past month has felt quietly powerful. Energetically, there’s been a noticeable shift as we’ve moved into Aquarius season—an invitation to reconnect, to gather, and to remember the importance of meaningful community. I’ve really felt that collective pull toward togetherness, shared purpose, and genuine connection.

January flew by faster than I expected. Somewhere between grieving for my dear Nonna, exams, teaching, and daily life, my body reminded me that it was carrying more than I realised. But I hadn't been able to slow down, and it ended with a neck injury, with stress and fatigue contributing and adding tension to my whole upper body.

Yoga can manifest in different ways, but at its heart it’s a way of relating to ourselves. This is where the niyamas come in.

The 1st of Patanjalis’ 8 limbs of yoga, they focus on how we care for our inner world. While the yamas guide how we show up in relation to others, the niyamas invite us to look inward with intention.

Winter can be a long and challenging time in England.

Through February, we are reflecting on the importance of sadhana.
In yoga, sadhana is your practice, your offering. It is the daily, committed devotion you make to yourself. An offering to your sacred self: who you are and who you are becoming.

Start the new year mindfully by exploring foundational yoga poses. Discover joy, curiosity, and presence in every movement of your practice.
