Teaching at 'The Spa Chiang Mai' & Namo CH'....

As well as teaching at wonderful wild Rose 2,3 x a week I will now be teaching at another yoga studio in Chiang Mai called 'Namo' , teaching 3 x a week. http://www.namochiangmai.com/. Also I will be teaching at 'The Spa Chiang Mai' 2, 3 x a week, it is a bit of a drive out of the city on my Fino

for 50 mins but being in the country in surrounded by rice fields is really nice! http://www.thespachiangmai.com/






So I am so happy that I am going to be teaching alot & learning alot from my students again. I will also be fitting days in to go climbing. Mon & tues & Thurs this week I've been climbing with a Kat a girl I met through the climbing shop. She has been teaching me to lead climb instead of been on top rope, I just love it! It is also a bit of a drive, an hour out of town but it's worth it to climb out doors!




I am also going to start learning more Thai massage on a weekly basis!! Life has suddenly got busy but in an amazing way, every day filled with doing the things I love!!

First classes at Wildrose ... www.wildroseyoga.org

I feel so privaledged to return to Wildrose studio in Chiang Mai. It's such a beautiful space with wonderful people who go there. My first class was a benefit class for Art2Healing a charity that helps empower women who have been victims of sex trafficking. The focus of the class was to practice from our hearts & offer out support & love to the rest of the world. It was a small but lovely group of people who stayed with the practice despite it been a particularly hot day! 3 hours seemed to go so quickly & as usual I felt like I ran out of time to cover everything I had planned!

Check out the classes at Wild Rose & to see all the other wonderful things going on there :-
My next workshop is "Yoga for Freedom"!!

Return to Chiang Mai Nov 6th.....

There is a kind of magic about Chiang Mai that seems unexplainable, things just seem to fit into place here. Before i arrived gorgeous Rose (www.wildroseyoga.org) invited me back to teach at her studio. If that wasnt enough being the wonderful connector that she is, she put me intouch with a couple (Kate & Paul) who wanted a house mate. They had found a wonderful house in Chiang Mai & they needed a house mate, me!! Yippee!! They met me from the airport & took me to my new home, wow its huge & such a lovely space, or collection of spaces with a balcony with a hammock, a wonderful tropical garden with banana trees, papaya, sweet basil, chillis etc etc. I am still in a state of shock that things have worked out so well. Also lovely Lawrence who lives in Chiang Mai but is away until January left me her scooter to ride! Although I enjoyed my summer of fun, its nice to have a base & no that i am staying in a wonderful place for the next 3 months.

Since i arrived on 8th Nov, i have had the strongest & most painful massage ever, I will see the benefits though now that blocked energy has been moved! Ive had 2 steam,saunas, been to a wonderful temple for organic vege food, practiced in 3 diff places in the house, eaten homemade dahl & naam made by Paul & cooked butternut squash, ginger & chilli soup! Also not forgetting alot of sleeping & chilling in the hammock reading Shanteram!!!

Life here is so much slower, I know when i arrived back in the UK i was super chilled however by the time I left I was zipping up & down the country between London & leeds & really not giving myself permission to stop. For some reason i always felt the need to visit as many people as possible in the short time I had in either city. This does not bode well for a relaxing life! So I am now making up for this in Chiang Mai by spending alot of time in the house staying put & no longer racing around to do do do........

"The flowers are blooming with the exultation of your Spirit." - Rumi

1 Year since leaving Cisco & life has exceeded my expectations....

October is a beuatiful month in the UK, the leaves are changing, the skys are blue & there is a chill in the air, time to dig out your wooly's! If you really start to look England is wonderful at this time of year. I have enjoyed my time in London where I have become a massive fan of the so called Borris bikes (bikes that you pick up & put down at drop off points all over london) & also ive had a lovely time in the north, in Leeds & the surrounding area.

I cannot believe how fast the last year has flown by, ive had so many adventures in different countries & places but also about myself. I took a risk & jumped off the corporate ladder a year ago & with a little self believe, trust & opening myself up to the flow of grace, things have worked out way better than I could have imagined. The little bit of fear that I had that I wouldn't be able to survive without Cisco quickly got squashed by my desire for something greater. To live life as if each day were my last & full fill my dream to teach & be of service to the world. I have met the most amazing people who have connected me to more amazing people & helped guide me on my path. I feel as usual so privaledged & greatful to everyone who has supported me on my way.

As Rumi a famous poet said "Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do"
