Discover how calming your nervous system through Yin Yoga and Meditation can reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore balance. Learn why stillness is essential for modern wellbeing—from an Ayurvedic and holistic perspective.

Celebrate Beltane with a nature-based workshop in London. Reconnect with the seasons through mindful walking, foraging, yoga, and wild food tasting at Grove Park Nature Reserve on 17th May.

On this Earth Day, I invite you to pause and reflect—how have you connected with Mother Earth today? Through a barefoot walk, a moment of stillness, or simply by noticing the air in your lungs? In this post, I share my thoughts on our deep connection to nature, the legacy of Pope Francis, and how yoga can help us realign with the rhythms of the Earth. Let’s return to ourselves, together.

Our Wednesday evening yoga classes are moving to a beautiful new space—W.G. Grace Community Centre in SE9. From Wednesday 23rd April, we’ll be meeting here weekly.
These Wednesday classes have always been a space to pause, reset, and reconnect—not just with your body, but with yourself. Whether you’ve been coming for a while or are curious about starting (or returning to) yoga, this is an open invitation to step onto the mat and be met exactly where you are.
Each session is part of a four-week journey, with a thoughtfully crafted sequence that gently builds week by week. The idea is to give you enough structure to feel progress, while still allowing room for exploration and rest.

I love celebrating the change of seasons, following nature’s rhythms as Ayurveda suggests. The Spring Equinox is a time of balance—a moment when day and night are equal, marking the shift from winter’s stillness to spring’s awakening. Nature is waking up, and so are we. In Ayurveda, spring is linked to Kapha dosha, a combination of earth and water. After

Experience a grounding yoga flow designed to ease tension, improve flexibility, and restore energy. This full-body sequence blends mindful movement, deep stretches, and breath awareness to leave you feeling rejuvenated and balanced. Perfect for all levels, this practice enhances mobility, builds strength, and promotes relaxation. Discover the benefits of each pose and embrace a deeper connection to your body and breath.

A moment to breathe, stretch, and reconnect. That’s exactly what Yoga with Geny – Find Your Flow is all about—an invitation to pause, move with intention, and cultivate both strength and ease in your body and mind.

Kickstart your week with balance, strength, and calm at Chair Yoga with Geny, at the Ringway Centre. Open to all levels, these Monday sessions combine mindful breathing, flowing movements, and grounding postures to reset your body and mind.

If you’re feeling under the weather today, take this as your cue to rest. The journey will wait for you—you’re already enough. Check this article to find out what to do to make a cold a bit more bearable and help the body heal.

Embark on a Journey of Healing and Transformation with Yoga Nidra: Golden Light and the Gayatri Mantra

In yoga philosophy, avidya represents the misperception that arises when we fail to see reality clearly. Our minds cling to illusions or false understandings, leading us away from the truth and into cycles of dissatisfaction or conflict.

I want to share a beautiful poem by Joyce Rupp. Let’s embrace the Winter season and join me on December 21st for an online Yoga class to celebrate the Winter Solstice.

Unlike your heart, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump—it relies on muscle movement and deep breathing to keep things flowing. Without regular stimulation, it can become sluggish, leading to fatigue, swelling, or a weakened immune system.

Why Does Sitting Hurt So Much?
Sitting for extended periods compresses your lower back, stiffens your hips, and rounds your shoulders forward. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, poor posture, and even decreased productivity.

Nadi Shodhana, or alternate nostril breathing, a Yogic technique designed to balance the body and mind. Its effects are subtle yet profound, helping you cultivate calm, clarity, and a sense of groundedness.

It’s essential to seize the moment and not wait for the next event or opportunity to explore nature’s bounty. By embracing the present and immersing ourselves in the richness of the here and now, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities.

According to Ayurveda, the spring season is considered an ideal time for exercise and various wellness practices. Here are some reasons why springtime is considered favourable for exercise in Ayurveda: Kapha Dominance: Ayurveda recognises three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – representing different combinations of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether). Spring is associated with an

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that has gained popularity for its unique taste and potential health benefits. It is created through the fermentation of sweetened tea by a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY).

Indeed, the concepts of purity and impurity are often associated with the human experience. They can be understood in various contexts, such as morality, spirituality, and personal growth. Let's explore these concepts further. Purity generally refers to a state of being untainted, uncontaminated, or free from moral, physical, or spiritual flaws. It often implies a sense of cleanliness, integrity, and

Weight loss is a result of consistently eating healthily and exercising regularly. The same goes for yoga, since it’s a physical activity. Yoga instructor Fi Clarke shares with Women’s Health Magazine that practising yoga 3-5 times a week is the most optimal frequency for weight loss.

Did you know that today’s full moon happens at 11:02 am? Also, do you know what Syzygy means?

Samhain is the season of death. The importance of death in life cannot be overstated. In yoga, we die to our old self to allow the new higher self to emerge.

Cleansing our homes, workplaces and bodies is an essential part of getting ready for a change of season. This cleanse is not just a matter of scrubbing off things, but it’s also a mental process, letting go of clutter and unneeded things, habits, etc.
In this Krya Yoga class, we cleanse the body through breath and sound to activate the chakras.

When we take the time to observe our senses quietly, we are welcomed into the here and now of the present moment. Through the five senses, we can navigate our way through this life.

It’s such fun making jams and chutneys. Peter, my partner,  was my glamorous assistant in the video below.

By journaling or simply writing down our thoughts, we get a chance to observe what’s working and what isn’t and what we need to do to find a new sense of balance if we’ve lost it.

On day 2 of our seasonal change program, we sat down and did a candle gazing meditation.

Day 1 – Thrive in the new season program. A gentle and grounding Yoga class. Your yoga practice doesn’t need to be a vigorous asana session. Think about balance, so it can be a Yin-Yang type of class.

Autumn is coming, and we can get ready to enjoy it to the full. Grow with the seasonal energy – don’t fighting against it

In this Yoga Nidra meditation, you will find space within and discover its full potential.
According to Ayurveda, space, or Akash, is the most delicate element of nature. It is believed by Ayurveda that Akash, or space, was the first element to come into existence.

An

Have you ever done shadow work? Would you like to know what it is? Working with your shadow means exploring the hidden sides of ourselves. This can help you to become more embodied.

When our consciousness moves freely through this area, we access our
