Picture someone who works from 8am until 9pm, grabs whatever food is quickest (or sometimes doesn’t eat at all), constantly tries to fix every problem at work and genuinely believes she can fix everything.

No self-care. No boundaries. No balance. Her entire life revolves around work.

She loves her job, but she’s burnt out, exhausted and, although everything looks successful on paper, inside she’s struggling.

She doesn’t have the tools or skills to cope with the demands she’s putting on herself.

She’s so caught up in working and looking after everything and everyone else that she’s forgotten how to actually live.

That person was me… over 14 years ago, I was that woman.

I first started yoga for myself around 22 years ago (how on earth did that happen?!). My practice hasn’t always been consistent, and my relationship with yoga has changed and evolved over the years.

But one thing I’ve noticed? I’m always drawn back to yoga when life is about to hit the fan!

When things feel overwhelming. When I need to slow down. When I need to reconnect with myself.

And that’s why I love what I do now.

I’m not a Yoga Therapist because I’ve got life all figured out. I’m here because I know first-hand how much yoga can support us through life’s challenging moments.

Because you can have the career, the family, the busy diary and all the responsibilities, yet feel completely overwhelmed inside.

You can be holding everything together on the outside and falling apart on the inside.

You don’t have to wait until you’re burnt out or broken to look after yourself.

Yoga is so much more than an exercise class. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, learning to manage stress, finding space to breathe and remembering that YOU matter too.

You don’t need to be flexible or have it all together. You just need to start somewhere.

Life is happening right now. You deserve to live it, not just get through it.

And if I can help you feel more grounded, balanced and more like YOU again, I absolutely love that I get to do what I do.

Sometimes the person who teaches you to slow down is someone who had to learn that lesson the hard way.

With love,
Naomi ✨

🐠 Are we developing the attention span of a goldfish?

I recently watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix, and it really made me stop and think about how much social media influences our attention, our habits and even our behaviour.

We wake up and reach for our phones. We scroll while eating, check notifications while working and struggle to sit quietly without looking for stimulation.

We’ve probably all heard the claim that humans now have a shorter attention span than a goldfish. Although this popular statistic isn’t scientifically supported, it does raise an interesting question:

Are we finding it increasingly difficult to give our attention to just one thing?

Our attention is constantly being pulled in different directions. Social media platforms are designed to keep us engaged, scrolling and coming back for more.

And I find that quite scary.

Are we losing our ability to be present?

Yoga gives us an opportunity to practise paying attention, noticing when our minds wander and gently bringing ourselves back to the present moment.

It invites us to:

✨ Be present rather than distracted.

✨ Breathe rather than react.

✨ Focus rather than constantly switch tasks.

✨ Find stillness in a world full of noise.

✨ Reconnect with ourselves rather than seeking constant external stimulation.

Every time we return our attention to our breath, hold a posture or sit in meditation, we practise the art of concentration.

Perhaps we don’t need more stimulation. Perhaps we need more stillness.

🌙 This Friday evening, give yourself 90 minutes to switch off and tune in.

Join me for Yin Yoga. A chance to slow down, breathe and notice what is arising in your body, mind and emotions.

Less scrolling, more feeling. Less doing, more being.

✨ Your attention deserves some care too.

Booking online.

With love,
Naomi ✨

As we move towards the end of the year, life can become increasingly busy. The festive preparations, endless to-do lists, work, family commitments and everything else that seems to fill our days.

But what if, amongst all that doing, you gave yourself permission to simply stop for a while?

My remaining Yin Yoga sessions for 2026 are an invitation to do just that.

Yin is a slower, quieter practice. A chance to step away from the demands of everyday life, settle into longer-held postures, soften, breathe and reconnect with yourself.

Over 90 minutes, we’ll create space to slow down, release some of the tension we carry and enjoy the benefits of a more mindful, restful practice.

It’s not about achieving anything, pushing yourself or getting it right. It’s about listening to your body, quietening the noise and giving yourself permission to stop.

And perhaps the most beautiful thing about slowing down is that its benefits reach beyond ourselves. When we feel more rested and settled, we can bring more patience, presence and kindness into our relationships and everyday lives.

✨ My remaining Yin sessions for 2026:

📅 Friday 6th November - 1830
📅 Friday 4th December - 1830

Give yourself 90 minutes to pause, breathe and let go of the need to be constantly doing.

You don’t need to wait until January to start looking after yourself.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is slow down right now.

I’d love to see you on the mat. 🤍

Spaces are limited booking online.

With love,
Naomi ✨

✈️ We love to travel, however I think we made a BIG mistake on this trip. we booked the late flight home as it was SO much cheaper and at the time it felt like a no-brainer.

That was until we got home at 4:45am and I felt absolutely awful the next day, completely wiped out.

It turns out our bodies don’t always agree with our money-saving decisions.

💤 Sleep is SO important for our wellbeing.

While we sleep, our brains process experiences, strengthen memories and build the connections that help us learn. Sleep also supports our mood, concentration, immune system and physical recovery.

Most adults need around 7 - 9 hours a night, and regularly missing out can really affect how we feel and function.

We can’t always control life’s demands, but we can make time to look after ourselves.

We’ll definitely keep travelling and making memories… but next time, we might pay a little extra for that earlier flight!

A little reminder: I have limited spaces across my classes this week, with just TWO spaces left at Tidworth tomorrow at 1730.

If you fancy some time to move, breathe and unwind, please do book your space. I’d love to see you.

Are you someone who can function on little sleep, or does one late night completely wipe you out?

With love,
Naomi ✨

Get to know me… because there’s so much more to me than yoga.

I’m a founder, wife, mum to a human and a cat, nature lover, adventurer, early bird, empath… and I have dyslexia, diagnosed later in life.

I love travelling, attempting to growing my own, exploring the outdoors, and being out in all types of weather (with the right clothing, of course!).

My late dyslexia diagnosis helped me understand another layer of myself. It’s a reminder that we’re always learning about who we are, and sometimes a missing piece of the puzzle helps things make sense.

I believe we all have so many layers. We’re never just one thing, and neither is our yoga practice.

As a Yoga Therapist and teacher, I want to create a space where you can come as you are, feel supported, and discover what works with you, not against you.

Yoga doesn’t have to look a certain way. You don’t need to be flexible, quiet your mind perfectly, or have it all figured out.

You just need to be you.

So, am I the right person for you?

If you’re looking for a space where you feel seen, supported and encouraged to embrace your individuality, then perhaps we’re a good match.

Perhaps tell me something about yourself that people might not know at first glance. Let’s celebrate all the layers that make us who we are, because life is much more interesting that way.

With love,
Naomi ✨

You don’t need to be a bendy wendy to do yoga, you don’t even need to have your life together.

Sometimes life gets a bit much, doesn’t it?

We’re so used to saying we’re fine, getting on with things and carrying on regardless, even when we’re feeling stressed and our heads are full.

And I think sometimes just admitting “Actually, I’m feeling a bit stressed and I could do with some help” is a really good place to start.

That’s where yoga might come in.

Not because you need to be flexible, master a pretzel pose or suddenly become a super calm person who never gets stressed (if only!).

But because sometimes it’s good to have an hour where you don’t need to fix anything, control anything or answer to anyone but your own needs.

It won’t solve everything, and life will still be life when you roll your mat back up.

But you might leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.

And you absolutely don’t need to be a bendy wendy to give it a go.

Come as you are, classes are back on Tuesday.

With love,
Naomi ✨

I had the most ridiculous dream last night… loads (and I mean loads) of people turned up for classes, FAR more than could possibly fit in the space. A great issue to have, however it was absolute chaos, people couldn’t get in, and some of you were very disappointed!

It got me thinking… a little reminder to keep on top of your bookings please.

Make sure you’ve actually booked your space and check your confirmation.

I completely understand that genuine mistakes happen. We’ve all thought we’ve done something when we haven’t, it happens!

But please don’t assume there’s a space available if you haven’t booked. Class numbers are limited for a reason, and no amount of yoga magic is going to make the room bigger! If you have a package, it doesn’t guarantee you a space, please sure you book yourself in too.

A quick check takes seconds and helps avoid disappointment for everyone.

Thanks for helping me keep things running smoothly, and for being part of this lovely community.

See you next week,

With love,
Naomi ✨

I’m on holiday, so here’s a little something I’ve probably overthought posting before.

Over the years I’ve taught in lots of different venues, worked with different people and been part of all sorts of classes and communities. And one thing I’ve learnt is that every class has its own feel.

Some of these things might sound familiar, some might not apply to your class at all, and that’s absolutely fine!

This isn’t about having a go at anyone or suggesting we’re all getting things wrong. Far from it.

I love what I do, and I’m really grateful for the people I’ve met and the communities I’ve been lucky enough to teach.

But behind every class is a real person, with a family, feelings, bills, boundaries and a life outside work.

We’re all human. A little understanding and consideration go a long way, on and off the mat.

Right, back to my holiday now.

With love,
Naomi ✨
