Create Space Yoga and Sound

Let’s be honest, life can be a bit nuts.
I find kids’ parties stressful, noisy, awkward and smelly. 😆 Not always, but most of the time! Don’t get me wrong, it’s lovely being invited and seeing the kids have a great time, but sometimes it can feel like a right chore.
At this party, though, I stopped resisting it. I got involved, played some games, got a bit silly and had some fun. And it felt good!
It got me thinking about how much energy we spend wishing things were different. Psychologists call the ability to make room for life as it is psychological flexibility, and it’s linked with better wellbeing and resilience. Yoga philosophy has its own word for loosening our grip: aparigraha, or non-grasping.
That’s what I love about yoga. Slow, steady breathing can help the nervous system settle, and mindful movement helps us notice how we’re feeling before we react. It’s practice for moments off the mat, even the noisy, smelly ones! 💛
Sometimes the best thing we can do is let go and join in. 🎈

I’ve been home a few days now and I’m still taking in my time in India. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.

I travelled with my friend Alice alice | studio﹏om | formerly om baby , who ran a block printing and yoga retreat from a beautiful artists’ residence in rural Jaipur. I went along to teach yoga to the group, and came home having been taught so much myself. Alice’s knowledge of India and her long-standing connections there meant we could experience it in a genuine, grounded way while being so well looked after. Every detail was thoughtfully organised, and I’m so grateful to her for including me.
Everywhere we went, we were met with warmth, kindness and generosity. It felt like such a privilege. In Bagru, the Chhipa family Bagru Textiles | Vijendra Chhipa welcomed us into their workshop and expertly and patiently shared a craft carried through generations. Our guide Yash, was so articulate and interesting and was an absolute gem of a human!
I came home with a scarf I’m so proud of, and a deep respect for the skill and care behind every print.

To the brilliant women I shared all of this with: thank you for the stories, the laughter and the company. You made it.
I left with a heart that felt open, joyous and soft, and it was all because of the people and the land.
There’s something deeply meditative about block printing. You ink the block, place it, press, lift, and move along. Pattern builds slowly through repetition and attention. It felt very close to what happens on the mat or in a sound bath: one breath, one mark, one sound at a time. My new design is my way of carrying that rhythm home.

Over the coming year, art is going to be a bigger part of Create Space, including some very exciting creative supper evenings with Aimee | Holistic Chef for Wellness Retreats in 2027.

First few days in Jaipur and Bagru, Rajasthan 🇮🇳
I’m a little bit obsessed with this place already. The colours. The land. The animals wandering the streets like they own them (they do). And the food – oh my goodness, the food! 🤤
But most of all, the people. So many beautiful, welcoming souls who have opened their doors, shared their knowledge and patiently taught us so much. I’m so grateful.
And the artistry. Watching the block printers in Bagru at work has completely stopped me in my tracks. The skill, patience and rhythm that goes into every single length of fabric – hand-carved wooden blocks, natural dyes, layer after layer, by eye and by hand. A craft passed down through generations, with centuries of history held in it.
As an artist and teacher, I feel like a student all over again. Soaking it all in. 🙏
And to top it all off, I get to share every moment of it with the most special group of people alice | studio﹏om | formerly om baby What a privilege to be doing this together. 💛
More to come…

I love these days. I get to collaborate with friends, work in a beautiful place and meet lots of wonderful people who I’m able to help feel great by the end of the day.

These retreat days in Llanberis are something really special. Yoga, lakeside sauna Sawna Bach | Wood-fired outdoor saunas in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 sound, incredible food Aimee | Holistic Chef for Wellness Retreats, mountain air and a whole day with nothing to do but slow down and be looked after. Honestly, I wish I could go on one myself! I always head home glowing, with a very full cup.

Our Christmas date is now fully booked (thank you!), so here are the new dates for 2027:
✨ Saturday 20th February
✨ Saturday 24th April
✨ Saturday 29th May
✨ Sunday 1st August
✨ Sunday 12th December
They make the perfect gift for someone you love, or for yourself. 🎁

You’ll notice a small increase in price for 2027. This simply helps us keep up with rising food costs so we can carry on serving the beautiful, nourishing meals that are such a big part of the day. Thank you so much for understanding and for supporting small local businesses.

Spaces are limited and they do fill up, so book early if you’d like to join us. Link in bio or message me to book or for payment in 2 instalments.

Thank you to everyone who has come along this year, and to my lovely collaborators who make these days what they are. 💛

Making friends with the floor 🌿
When did you last sit on the floor just because? For most of us, adulthood means chairs, sofas and car seats, and slowly the floor becomes somewhere we only go when we’ve dropped something.
But the floor is one of the best teachers we have.
✨ The science: Researchers in Brazil developed the “sit-to-rise test”: lowering yourself to the floor and getting back up without using your hands, knees or furniture. In adults over 50, those who found this hardest had a noticeably higher risk of dying over the following years than those who could do it easily. It’s a simple snapshot of strength, flexibility, balance and coordination all working together.
✨ Why it matters: Getting down and up again uses your hips, knees, ankles and core through a full range of movement. It builds the strength and confidence that help prevent falls, and it keeps our joints doing what they were designed to do. Many cultures still sit, eat and rest at floor level well into old age. It’s a use-it-or-lose-it skill.
✨ Why it feels good: The floor is grounding in the most literal sense. It invites us to slow down, feel supported, and notice our bodies.
So this week, try:
🌱 Sitting on the floor while you drink your tea
🌱 Shifting between cross-legged, kneeling, side-sitting and squatting
🌱 Practising getting up and down slowly, using your hands as much as you need to start with
No judgement, just curiosity. Your future self will thank you 💛
Come and get grounded with us on the mat On Monday mornings in Llanberis 9.30am or 11am and in Bangor in a Wednesday evening 6.30-8pm. Yoga with beautifully relaxing sound bath to finish.

Booking links in bio. 🧡🧡🧡

Like our FERAL friend Sophie said during the Big D*ck Energy RISE talk, this is the perfect example of creative collaboration and community. 🧡

This moment actually came about as an impromptu response to an unavoidable last-minute tweak to the schedule. Angharad brought her sound techniques, Calum held space and led a group meditation and nature bath, and it all just came together. The sounds of the trees and the birds around us, the sun on our faces and a group of strangers sitting together who somehow felt like close friends. 🌿

Unplanned, completely in the moment and genuinely one of the best parts of the whole weekend. This one has become a core memory for us. 🥹

New Moon & Full Moon Yoga & Sound Bath — September
📍 Garth Community Centre, Bangor, Gwynedd
🕰️ 6.30-8pm
💫 £25 per session, or £40 for both (save £10)

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how far we’ve come. I’ve been reading Orbital- a book about astronauts in space, aching for Earth even as they marvel at it from above- and losing evenings to documentaries on space exploration and the vast, unlikely story of evolution here on this planet. It’s left me in a kind of wonder. At everything we’ve built. Everything we’ve learned. Everything we’ve broken, too. And still- underneath all of it- a deep, stubborn love for life, and for this beautiful, strange planet we call home.
That feeling is what’s calling me to hold two sessions this month.

🌑 New Moon- Friday 11th September
An evening of playful yoga, followed by a soulful, deeply relaxing sound bath. This one is about setting intentions and sowing seeds for the months ahead as we move into winter- small, honest beginnings, planted quietly in the dark. You’ll be lying back on brand new, super comfortable mats, with essential oils in the air chosen especially for the season and the evening.

🌕 Full Moon- Saturday 26th September
This session turns toward release- letting go of what no longer serves, making space by putting something down. Same warm welcome, same nourishing structure, different energy entirely.
Come to one, or come to both- whether you’re feeling called to do some real inner work, or you just want to get back into a quality self-care routine. Either way, you’ll leave held, restored, and a little more connected to the cycles we’re all quietly living inside of- the same ones that pull our oceans, that we’ve measured our lives by since long before we had a word for astronomy.

Tasty refreshments included. Booking essential as it’s a small group- spaces are limited.

If you’re looking for something different to do with your people, that is authentic, intimate, liberating, safe, caring, fun and soulful, look no further. 👇🧡

These days always go down so well. Think supper club meets wellness fun vibes. In the gorgeous setting of Tyddyn Siarl nestled in Eryri (Snowdonia) we will welcome you for a super chill day.
Close to Llyn Padarn where we refresh and uplift at the sauna having an optional dip in the lake, after an invigorating but gentle yoga flow in a bespoke yoga studio overlooking mountains and gardens.😍

Lunch is a feast conjured up by Aimee, with the help of our darling Becca . Around a table of delights you’ll enjoy time sampling seasonal and locally inspired food with old friends and new. The best medicine. ❤️

Finish the day with a relaxing sound bath where we are encouraged into a state of deep relaxation and deeper listening. You may drift into such a deep state of relaxation that an hour feels like 10 minutes. You may snore. You may dribble but know that you are welcome here. 😊

Ending with delightful sweet treats to set you off on your journey home, you will leave with your cup overflowing. Trust me, we all do! 🧡

2nd August, 29th September and Christmas dates- tbc.
