When your mind feels busy and thoughts keep looping, it can be hard to settle. This is a simple, practical way I sometimes use to create a bit of space so the mind can soften and focus again.

What happens when yoga meets the church? Drawing on 30 years of experience, I reflect on the tension, the misunderstandings, and the common ground between spiritual practice and Christian faith.

I went to India hoping it would change me — not into someone different, but into someone a little more solid, a little more true. Now I’m home, back in my usual routine, and I can’t quite point to what’s different. And yet something is. Fear is still there, but it no longer feels like a full stop. So I find myself asking: have I changed?

We tell ourselves we need more — more savings, more security, more for the future. But what if the real question isn’t how much we have, but why we feel it’s not enough?

I never part with my passport—until an ashram in India asked me to leave it behind. What I expected to feel was anxiety. What I felt instead surprised me.

From solo travel to endurance challenges, so many of us choose the harder path. Not because we have to—but because something in us is drawn to it. So why do we do hard things?

A reflection on yoga, ageing and the beginner’s mind — how no matter our age, we are always new on the mat and in life.

I’ve always struggled with the darker months, but over the years I’ve built a simple morning routine that helps me feel calmer, steadier, and a bit more myself.

I practise Ashtanga yoga, a set sequence of postures once believed to be ancient, but actually shaped by modern influences. At first, I thought the magic was in the system itself — the sequence, the poses. But the real magic lies in the commitment to your own practice: showing up, breathing through the hard moments, and slowly transforming over time. Yoga helps you come home to yourself — and that, to me, is true magic.

Discover how my daily Ashtanga yoga practice helped me cope with stress, anxiety, and exhaustion—and reminded me of my inner strength.
