Gypsy Masala - a story of dreams is one of my favorite quick reads. It’s a take on many hindu stories and follows the path of a family in transit. Anyone who has been on a retreat with me will be familiar with Chapter 12 which I often read out to groups in the closing meditation. It teaches us about hopes and dreams and guides us in following our hearts desire.

During a recent yoga session a student complains of a burning sensation in her leg and asks if this is normal? After defining the sense of burning and the reason why she felt pain. I ask the class “has anyone heard of the term burning with desire, burning with passion”. Other phrases like feel the heat, and go for the burn come to mind. When we are in need of comfort heat is soothing, often when we have pain heat is applied. We also apply pressure to the body when we need to heal for example to rub the skin after a fall.
When we breath we bring oxygen into the body and that intensifies the heat and we begin to burn brightly from within. We become radiant and glowing. these words are often associated with what we define as beauty. We all have an inner light that can shine through. Continue Reading »

Welcome to my site and many thanks to Arup for designing it and having it operational whist it wasn’t complete. Makes me think of karma, action in non action. That in life sometimes we think nothing is happening when in fact we are constantly moving and changing. The wise yogi knows when to act and when not to act.
I want to use the site to share with my students the stories and developments that come from classes. It’s a place where you can find the references to any quotes that I might use and or add your own feed back. Also on the site is much of the music that I use in classes and books that have inspired me.
I will also be pod casting yoga sessions for you to download if you miss any sessions.
Now we are all returning to regular practice after the summer or rather August break. Some of us were in Italy which was as beautiful as last year. Lots of great food and inspired company. Time to reflect and take stock of life. Many thanks to Santi for leading us through a discussion of truth and reality. Both thought provoking and very funny at times when we look at what we see as our own truth and others perception of that truth. The words of Krishnamurti will always give me hope.
I am trying to organise 2 separate weeks in Italy next year. It would be nice to go in the spring time, but for now I can confirm that I am booking 7 days from the 16th August, Prices to confirm but if you want to return put that date in your book.
More details will be on the site soon.
