All things bright and beautiful.. physically and mentally

|| W O R R Y 🚫 N O T || Yoga teaches us how to be present. How to be present in the present moment, right now. So many, or in fact most, of our worries and concerns are attached to stories from the past or invented stories from the future. When we actually come back to THIS moment, and we take a massive breath in and an even bigger breath out, all that 'stuff' starts to shrink and dissolve. We realise - this ain't actually too bad. I can do this. And most importantly, I am enough! #mindfulness #meditation #pmaalltheway #positivevibes #yogamedecine #keepitreal

Y O G A 💜 P I L A T E S 💕 R E T R E A T || April 30th - May 6th 2016 || 'Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live' - Jim Rohn. If I'm completely honest with you, I never really enjoyed Pilates, I always found it a bit boring and I was just decided I was a through and through yogi... AND THEN I met this chicK!!! Despite feeling pretty strong these days (I'm naturally super weak!), after one class with @nikki_urwin I realised how many areas of my body I wasn't even remotely engaging whilst practicing yoga and how AMAZING Pilates actually is!!! Along with this, @nikki_urwin had the most wonderfully light-hearted, (but hard core) teaching style and is beautiful inside and out! SO to those of you who maybe felt he same as me about Pilates (and want a serious great butt 😂) get yourself on this retreat! @nikki_urwin will be combining skills, and on top of which there will be insane local food (we've tried and tested it all), beautiful walks, LOTS of sunbathing, nurturing treatments with our in-house therapist AND wine tasting!! We're so excited about this! We only have a few spots left, so email me to book ASAP: [email protected] (at Chateau Bardouly)

'Every flower needs to be rained on to blossom' ... Today was a bit of a rubbish day. When it rains it pours kinda day, but got home to these beautiful flowers (which obviously made me smile A LOT) and I instantly remembered this quote! What goes up has to go down and visa versa! Rain or shine, keep BLOOMING people! #redroses #valentinesdaylove #keepsmiling #positivequotes #mondaymotivation

|| B E • Y O U • A L W A Y S || 'Find someone who admires you for something less obvious'... I've been so lucky to meet so many amazing people over the past few years in the yoga world, but this beauty is someone truly special. The best part is that Nici hasn't chosen to work with me cause I'm the biggest and bestest yoga teacher in the U.K. with the most humongous following, but simply because we just clicked from word go and it's so easy to work together! It's taken me some time to learn this, but the same goes for any relationship. A friendship, a love relationship... It just doesn't have to be that hard work! ...and wow, do amazing things happen when you surround yourself by people who lift you up!

'Children see magic because they look for it' - Christopher Moore .... and tonight's @thewellconnectedgroup and @yogandha event really was magical! We danced, sang, clapped and rolled around with laughter in this incredible setting @harveynichols overlooking the city with a wonderful bunch of yogis! Thank you so much to everyone who came, everyone who made it happen and the wondrous @yogabyclaudia for assisting me! I loved every single second of it!! #namastemanchester #yogaeventsmanchester #timeoutmanchester #luxuryyogaholidays #wellbeingevents #healthyholidays (at Harvey Nichols Manchester)
