1. Get to the Mat If you have anxiety then take the chance to sit with it and shift the energy and your attitude. Yes it’s hard, yes, maybe you don’t want to, but wrangle your struggled on your mat or meditation cushion or do it in the waiting room when all your nerves come pouring out – it’s your choice.   But let’s be gentle, the day of your big appointment is not the day to begin a new and extended yoga class.

We believed the doctors when they said no cure meant no change. But it wasn’t the case. We decided to try to create the best possible environment for wellness. To give my body a chance to heal. Take away everything which we…

“There is a charge for the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge for the hearing of my heart it really goes. There is a charge, a very large charge, for a word, or a touch, or a piece of my hair or my clothes”  – Sylvia Plath. I began writing again when I was 20, I’d stopped in my teens. You see, I bumped into a friend and in my ebullient, elaborate way was clutching a copy of Ariel and swooning over Lady Lazarus. It meant so much to me you see. Do you recall the moment when you realised someone else knew exactly, but exactly what you…

The seasons are changing, we are going through an equinox cleanse, the new year draws near and 2012 is sweeping into winter. Underpinning our practice, carving out and protecting space for wellness, casting a vote for your healing rights – it’s time.

It could be that you are a wellness veteran and you have done it all and the wheatgrass. Yet if you look at your day to day life you can’t remember the last time you moved your…
