In August 2018 my Husband, Simon and I did a 2-week summer road trip adventure around Iceland and it was EPIC!! Visiting Iceland certainly needs to be on your bucket list. I put hours and hours of research and planning into our Iceland Summer Roadtrip which really paid off. We got to see some much of this amazing country, experience lots of the Icelandic Culture and get really active with snorkelling, ice climbing, kayaking, horseriding and a lot of hiking! We drove over 3500km covering all the Iceland's ring road but also getting into the much less visited western fjords. If you're thinking a planning a trip check out the itinerary I put together for inspiration and my top tips. Any questions get in touch!

A simple straightforward guide for yoga teachers enabling you to support your students with confidence. Yoga students come to class with a variety of physical conditions and in most cases common sense combined with controlled and pain free range of movement will keep yoga students safe in your class. But there are a few medical conditions and injuries for which certain yoga poses are contraindicated and other poses would be particularly beneficial. So print of this PDF, laminate it and keep it in your teaching bag. This is by no means an exhaustive list but it covers what I have commonly experienced during my 8 years of teaching yoga.

This breathing technique centres your focus on both your Manipura and Anahata Chakras. When facing emotional challenges it is important to stay connected to these two energetic centres and to work to keep them balanced. The Manipura chakra governs our self esteem, courage and confidence when balanced we can stand tall and face the challenges. Anahata Chakra is the heart centre from where we can openly give and receive love, feel compassion and forgiveness.

Research informs us that on average many of us only use about 1/8th of our lung capacity. The complete yoga breath encourages us to use our full lung capacity to benefit our health and well being. Our breathing habits can be caused by many things including tension, tight muscles, stress, frustration and anxiety. The complete Yoga Breath improves energy levels, concentration and circulation; it feeds the brain and calms the mind whilst allowing us to control our emotions and stress.

The foundation of our yoga practice is the breath. In yoga we learn to breath fully and deeply, coordinating breath and movement and experiencing how we can affect our mind through our breath. Breathing exercises, also called Pranayamas in Sanskrit, allow us to slow down our heart rate, lower our blood pressure, clear our minds and relax our muscles. Incorporating pranayamas in our day to day lives can have an immediate effect on reducing everyday stress. But . . . it takes practice!
