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.

A Quiet Spark, Growing Roots
This past month, something shifted. Gently at first — then unmistakably. A little spark deep within me has reignited. It’s one that’s been quietly growing over the last year, through a lot of shedding, unlearning, and soft (sometimes uncomfortable) growth. And suddenly, I feel… excited again.

This winter I took a longer break from teaching and travelled, giving myself time away from schedules and familiar routines. Stepping back from holding space for others let me return to my own practice with fresh eyes, practising simply because I wanted to, noticing what I missed, what I didn’t, and what felt different when there was nowhere else to be.

I’ve never been much of a New Year’s resolutions person. But this year, I decided to think in terms of aspirations: small, flexible intentions that leave room for change.
So instead of setting big goals, I’ve been starting January by noticing what I might be holding onto that no longer serves me. Sometimes that reflection leads to big things, but often it begins with something surprisingly small.

Ten years ago, almost to the day, I was on a particularly tense flight back from Koh Samui, Thailand. A mother was struggling to pacify her crying baby and it’s ear piercing scream was beginning to test the patience of the other passengers on the small plane. As tensions rose, I realised I was smiling. I’d just spent 10 days nourishing my mind and body on a yoga retreat and nothing could burst the bubble of zen I’d built around me. It’s hardly surprising that I’ve been back four times since and have just booked a 300hr Teacher Training in the same place.

Every woman has an immense well of energy inside her pelvis. An energetic flame that represents her Eros, her life force, her energy, her spark, her pulse of aliveness. It is vital for women to keep this energy alive inside her body in winter when we aren’t able to receive it as readily through the sun. In winter, a woman’s body needs to move sensually from the pelvis to generate Eros in her body to keep her spark alive and let pleasure run through her system as a regenerative resource.
