10 things I learnt from yoga teacher training.
For those who may have seen on my yoga instagram account, I graduated from my yoga teacher training with YogaLondon last weekend. It has been an absolute whirlwind the last three months of training, learning and self development. Not only has my own personal yoga practice strengthened and my love for yoga deepened, but my desire…
Read MoreYoga Journal #77: The finishing sequence.
Today was our last day of training – it was surreal to say the least. Holly asked us to sum up in one word – the journey or experience that we have come on and I was stumped. The first word that came to my mind was “life changing” followed by “transformative” followed by “incredible”.…

Woke up early although I hardly slept at all! Was too nervous/excited / i don’t know what!? Had a green smoothie for breakfast then headed down to post office to post some orders.

Went to Jessica for a second round of Hypnotherapy – will see how it goes! Offered to teach her a yoga class before – I was slightly off in the timing so left out 2 standing postures to get back on track – was trying to figure out why – think we spent a bit…

BUSY DAY! Woke up and headed to the printers to get orders printed, then rushed to post office to ship off orders. Then to shops – even bought a mint pot plant to try recreate the juice that Siobhan made. Literally cycling in my bike, with my mint pot plant in my basket with my…

Took a break from yoga today. Nothing really extraordinary to report on. Although, every day is pretty damn extra ordinary when you come to think about it.
Read MoreYoga Journal # 70: Using the bathroom
Class with Rahoul – was really good – strong and powerful. Lectures on one-to-one and finding the correct attitude etc. Some things I guess I hadn’t really thought about – like using the bathroom of a one-to-one client or about not commenting on their house (encourages an attachment to material things). Did a teaching prac…
Read MoreYoga Journal #69: Giving Birth
Pregnant Yogi! It was Such fun! Grew SO attached to the little bump they made us put into our tops! (Jumpers!). It really is amazing how much more the movement is restricted – and that is without the actual weight to go with it! Went through a Q & A after – was SO interesting…
Read MoreYoga Journal # 68: ANATOMY EXAM AND "I'm NOT pregnant"
Woke up and iced Sarah’s cake – anatomy cake with bones for the win! (see here). Spent most of the day learning and getting last min stuff in my brain! Wrote anatomy exam – it went well – guessed the name Femoralotibial instead of Tibiofemoral – which is a tiny thing that I’ll never forget…
Read MoreYoga Journal # 67: Cardio, Cakes and studying.
Cycled down to the printers to get some stuff printed for Warr to take back to SA- did yoga in the morn – the timing is great! Tried to “indicate” on my bike and nearly went into a bush. Thought that cardio-vascularly I would be fitter from all the yoga – my body feels incredibly…
