Dear Beautiful Community
After what will have been a nine-month pause from teaching, I’ll be returning this summer with a special series of extended classes in the Forest of Dean, and I would love to welcome both familiar and returning faces back into the space.
We often hear that consistency is key when it comes to developing a yoga practice, and in many ways that is true. But how we measure consistency matters deeply.
When we view practice through the lens of a single day, missing one can feel like failure. We may feel discouraged, guilty, or tempted to drift away altogether.
One of the most important things I’ve learned over the years is that consistency makes far more sense when we zoom out — thinking in terms of weeks, months, and years rather than individual days.
When we do that, something softens. The pressure eases. The guilt fades. And often, the quiet joy of practice returns.
I’ve now been practising yoga for over 25 years, and recently I too stepped into an extended pause from teaching — a necessary space of stillness and integration, allowing the transformations of practice to settle more deeply within and without.
And guess what? Nothing was lost.
I did not return to zero.
And neither have you.
If your own practice has paused for a while, know this: it comes back more easily than you imagine, as though it has been quietly waiting for you all along.
Throughout June I’ll continue with my own sadhana whilst preparing for two months of summer classes rooted in steady practice, attention, spaciousness, and reconnection.
The doors are open.
