Are you tired of pretending everything is OK?

Nowadays more than ever there is this expectation and belief that everyone’s life is picture perfect. That somehow they have it all figured out and they have managed to get to that elusive happy place. But when you look a little closer and you dig a little deeper you realise that there are cracks and…

Coming Home

I actually wrote this blog post a few months ago and never really got around to posting it as it didn't seem that urgent. But a few days ago I was blown away by a realisation made through my Effortless Lifestyle program and I realised my blog post was soooooooo relevant and desperately wanted to…

Space

Yesterday was our three month 'vanniversary' and we definitely did not celebrate! Three months has flown by but also three months is a long time to be in relatively large van with my toddler and my boyfriend. One of the words that keeps popping into my mind is SPACE.

It’s just another year around the Sun

This month has been the month of birthdays. Mine first, Sol's second and Ben's last. Birthdays are funny ones. They are seen as milestone, a celebration, another year survived.

Can Living the Dream actually be a Nightmare?

My ten minutes for me

There are so many things I could not do in 10 minutes and instead spend 10 minutes faffing around checking my emails for the millionth time or cleaning the kitchen. But today instead I did 10 minutes of yoga and it felt the same as if I had done a full class. The feeling I…

Challenge yourself

I think about Yoga a lot! Most of my waking day is spent thinking about yoga postures, sequences, breathing and a million other random yoga related thoughts. Today, I got to thinking  about the challenges that we put our bodies through...... In today's society we are constantly challenging ourselves and our bodies to achieve more,…

The return of my body

Today I did a full 1.5 hour yoga practice! The first in almost 8 months and it felt amazing. My body is coming back to me and I think it is even stronger than ever. Pre baby I realise I was not that aware of my body. I mean OK I was aware of my…
