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?

During a seven-week journey through India, I began to notice small moments that felt strangely meaningful—almost like signs. From a peacock outside an ashram window to a necklace I wore across the country, and a chance meeting back in the UK, each moment seemed to carry its own quiet message. This is a reflection on coincidence, meaning, and how we choose to see the world.

You can’t force yourself to let go—but you can change your relationship with your thoughts. And that’s where real freedom begins.

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 travelled to Amma’s ashram hoping her embrace might change something in me. But when the moment came, it felt… surprisingly ordinary. And that realisation taught me something far more valuable than I expected.

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.

Why do we feel guilt after losing someone we love? Sometimes, it’s not about mistakes—it’s about the love we didn’t show, the words we didn’t say, and the moments we held back.

Mindfulness is often talked about, but what does it actually feel like in practice? Sometimes, it’s as simple—and as difficult—as trying to enjoy a quiet moment without the constant chatter of your own mind.

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.

Winter mornings can feel especially heavy, even as the days start to lengthen after the solstice. 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. From affirmations to yoga and resisting that first-thing phone scroll, these small practices make all the difference. If winter weighs on you too, you might find a little comfort here.
