I recently made the decision to study an area that interests me — spiritual experiences. Coincidentally, just as I’d finished writing my first blog post announcing my experiment to study in this way, I was contacted by Austin Krauss from Knowtro which is a free new scientific search engine for research facts. I was interested […]
Can I teach meditation with a yoga teaching qualification?
This question came up on the last yoga course that I did, so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts, as I’ve done separate teacher trainings in both yoga and meditation. What is meditation in the context of yoga? In the context of yoga, meditation (dhyana) is the seventh limb of yoga and is […]
The art of not knowing everything
This is one of these posts where I jump around a bit — but I just wanted to write down some of my thoughts. I was recently on a yoga course learning to teach pre and post natal yoga. I’ve only been teaching yoga for a few years, but it always amazes me whenever […]

What’s the difference between Kapalbhati and Bhastrika breath? How to practise both
This is a pretty niche video post — partly because it’s a question that I found really hard to find an answer for a few years ago. There seemed to be a lot of confusion between what the difference actually was between these two yogic breathing exercises — Kapalbhati and Bhastrika. Here I outline the […]
Exploring London: 15 photos of the Thai Buddhist temple in Wimbledon
One of the things I love about living in London is that no matter how long you’ve lived here, there are still new places to explore all the time. Yesterday, my friend Heli and I visited the Thai Buddhist temple in Wimbledon, which is pretty much on my doorstep as I live so close to […]
Spend 24 hours without complaining
Yesterday, I said to a friend that I would take part in this Facebook event where you’re not allowed to complain about anything for a whole day. I hope this wasn’t’ some kind of a hint! I don’t like to think that I’m someone who complains much but today of all days, I was […]
Patience, planning and delayed gratification
There’s a few lessons here that relate directly to the course I’m currently doing — Marisa Peer’s hypnosis course (article to come once I’ve finished it). I’m on week six of the course right now which is all about delaying gratification. In many ways I’d love to think I’m pretty good at this. However, I […]
Equanimity, the myth of ‘positive thinking’ and Richmond in the rain
Staying with the theme of writing about general life lessons, I thought I’d share some of my current thoughts whilst I sit on the train from Richmond. I say current but this is something I’ve been working on since I did my 10 day silent vipassana meditation a few years ago. In my teen years […]
National occupational standards for yoga teaching in the UK: what are your thoughts?
I feel inspired to write this post to share my thoughts on the issue of regulating yoga, and creating national occupational standards for the profession in the UK. I’ve been aware that there’s been a debate going on for quite a while about raising and regulating the standards in yoga teaching. I’ve just shared my […]
