Notes
Writing on practice, breath, attention, and the life around them. Slow, grounded, kept over time.
On returning to a daily practice.
What the body asks for in the first month, what it asks for in the third, and how to keep showing up when there is no obvious reason to.
Open the noteAsana
Posture, sequencing, restorative work, prop usage, transitions, home and studio practice.
Returning to Sun Salutations
On coming back to surya namaskar after a long pause — what to expect from the body in the first ten rounds.
Restorative Evenings
Three long-held shapes for the end of a hard day. What to put under the knees, what to put under the head, what to leave alone.
Yoga Nidra Before Sleep
A practical script for thirty minutes of nidra in the hour before bed, written for practitioners who have tried it before and given up.
Pranayama
Breathing mechanics, the nervous system, and the way breath prepares the body for sitting.
Exhaling Slowly
On lengthening the exhale beyond the inhale, and what it does for a restless afternoon. With three short practices.
Ujjayi
The ocean breath, written for people who have been told to do it but never told why or how. Where to feel it, where not to force it.
Breath Before Practice
Five minutes of breathing at the top of the mat before the first pose. A simple sequence, kept over months.
Philosophy
Bandha, mudra, drishti, dharana — the subtler structures that sit inside a working practice.
Drishti
On where the eyes go in a posture, and what changes when the gaze settles. Not metaphor — a real mechanical and attentional shift.
Mula Bandha
A working description of root lock — what is engaged, what is not, and how to find it without gripping.
Yoga Beyond Flexibility
A short, plain answer to the most common question asked of yoga teachers — what is yoga actually for, if not to touch your toes.
Life
Mornings, travel, rest, home, season — everything that surrounds a working practice.
Morning Practice
A note on the first hour — what to keep, what to drop, and the small decisions that make returning easier tomorrow.
Practising While Travelling
Twenty minutes on a hotel floor, a folded blanket, no mat. A working answer to the question of how to keep practice in motion.
Creating Space to Practise
On the corner of a room, the time of day, and the small acts of arranging that make a practice possible without a studio.
