Rain, sweet rain...
Like so many of us, my year started with my non-friend Flu and let me tell you, I was not impressed. As it is taking a little more time than I thought to shake off the post-sickness-induced lethargy, I have been feeling admittedly a bit blue. Sickness aside, January is often a month synonym of anti-climax after spending time with friends and family over Christmas and New Year.
But after reading the latest blog of my friend Lorna Clansey, I finally woke up from a desire to hibernate and sulk. She is on Tumblr so check her out, it will be give you the incentive to get up and go: http://lornaclansey.tumblr.com/

On Being a Yoga Newbie
When I first took up yoga ten years ago, most people attending classes did so to become more supple and also to de-stress - which is still the case today of course - but what they (myself included) might not have expected so much at the time is a challenging practice that included holding standing poses for longer as well as inversions and arm balances.

My yoga confession
Without further ado, here it is: I have been practicing yoga for about 10 years now, teaching in London for 7 years, organising retreats and workshops, but I never ever, until earlier this month, took the time to go on a yoga retreat myself! Oh irony…

True Holidays
It has been busy on the holiday front especially with the Olympics which encouraged quite a few Londoners to flee the country to sunnier shores despite an incredibly smooth fortnight as we now know. Oh and of course, we have not exactly been blessed with a summer worthy of the name…
What actually makes a good holiday?
My First Blog as a Guest
Marrakech Yoga Retreat
I am so pleased to share this event!
I will be holding a yoga retreat in beautiful Marrakech between 5-11 November later this year. A nice way to escape the winter, deepen our practice and immerse ourselves in a completely different culture.
