When I was first asked to sit for 10 minutes at the end of yoga I went into panic mode that I may never have meditated before. All this yoga and no meditation...how can that be?! What mind trickery may happen? But we were encouraged to see what came up and that...

We hear so much about how massage can be of benefit to our mind, body and soul. How it can aid you will be entirely individual. Whether you're in pain or not has a major influence on what effect massage will have on you. Some people literally bounce off the massage...

I read about not making resolutions in 3 different places yesterday. I'm not one for resolutions since I used to make lists of them in my teens. For me, rules are made to be broken. The changes we make happen throughout the year, just like yoga teacher Casey says...

I keep hearing the same message about listening to your body. It seems to be everywhere. I've been very aware about living with how I FEEL for some time now. That mind body and soul connection is especially important for me when massaging in order to balance energy...

We don't rest enough. We often don't have the time! But isn't that the irony...we don't have time to rest! I was acutely aware when working at Northern Ballet that paid athletes don't have time to recover. They would try to speed through it with Sports Massage, icing,...

I learn so much every week from injuries and patterns I see in others. Experientially we also learn a lot from pain in our own bodies. For years my SI (sacroiliac) joint has been twangy. It has felt like a pain in the arse! And it often has been. Our SI joints are...

I knew this quote would one day mean something as i'd lost faith in it for such a long time. When people would say everything happens for a reason my inner dialogue would go off on a tirade of obscenities. Falling off my bike made me take life at a different pace and...

I have done yoga for a number of years. What style I do is every changing as there's often a different reason for me doing it. When I did a lot of sport whether it was cycling, running, swimming or weight training I used yoga at the end of the week to stretch tight...

Pop Up Therapies at Kula Yoga Kula aims to provide 'a tonic for modern life', which is what body therapies are all about, the two go hand in hand. Because of this, therapies at Kula have blossomed over the past year, therefore from September, we are going to be...

Of course routine can be extremely comforting but getting stuck in one can bore me to tears. My bodywork doesn't follow a routine so my work is never boring even when faced with six back massages. Every body is different and so is everybody which keeps things...

"There's no point looking back...look forward" is something I tell (or shout at) my dog on a frequent basis. 'When an animal senses danger, its adrenal system instructs it either to run from the danger, stand and fight, go numb, or decide all is safe and shake out...

I came across the term TRYathlon when massaging at an event a few weeks ago. Sport can be intimidating so for some the concept of giving it a go has no pressure to perform. I have worked with a lot of triathletes who carry their personalities in super tight bodies....

Watching the Nick Kyrgios post Wimbledon interview last night when he lost to Andy Murray I didn't see someone deflated or demotivated. What I could see was a guy who was doing a sport probably because he was good at it, not necessarily with his head in the game....

I often pick a leaflet up from the dentist about Temporomandibular dysfunction. The joint between your upper and lower jaw, just in front of your ears is called the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) . A fibrous disc separates the upper and lower bone surfaces occasionally...

I have often documented my dog's rehab following knee surgery for a ruptured cruciate ligament (ACL). They also removed his meniscus which allows for the cushioning in the knee. When people speak to me about knees I often say the most experience I have is with dogs....

I'm aching all over today from Aqua yoga teacher training day yesterday. If you've ever been sore from using muscles you didn't know you had you're half way to appreciating how movement patterns work. Why do I get pain when? Gardening -  being sat in a squat or...

For a lot of people yoga is not only a physical practice that can allow the body to relax but help us to switch off mentally and allow more focus. I have often felt yoga is like nectar. Others have described it as better than chocolate. It has helped me become pain...
