Is sugar the food of love?
In amongst real news at the start of 2014, there’ve been headlines such as ‘The Sugar Trap!’ ‘No more sugar’, ‘Are you addicted to sugar?’ I’m bemused, surely there’s nothing new about the news that too much sugar is bad for us? Bu
Eating Mindfully
It’s the ‘New Year’s Resolution’ time of year when many people resolve to make changes in their lives. Personally, I think it’s a good idea to have an ongoing overview of changes that need to be made throughout the year. But I have one right now that is n
Beginning Yoga – why newbies need specialist classes
Many years ago, when I began teaching yoga, my classes included a mixture of people new to yoga, along with more experienced yogis. I found it a difficult balancing act to simultaneously ensure that beginners were safe, and experienced yogis were challenged enough to remain interested
Harrogate Yoga’s new website!
Back in 1999 I moved to Harrogate from a village near Wetherby. I was pleasantly surprised to find that town living was much friendlier than anything I’d experienced during eighteen years of living in a village. In the terrace I moved to, my immediate neighbours had a technology

Community
For a shy, retiring sort like me, this has been quite a week. It began with last Sunday’s British Wheel of Yoga Northern Region AGM in Durham and ended yesterday with the North Yorkshire BWY Federation at Poppleton, York. I was the teacher at both these events. Much has happened
A few days in Vietnam
Crossing the road in Hanoi “Walk slowly and purposefully into the path of the oncoming traffic”, was the gist of the advice in the info pack provided by our hotel in Hanoi, for getting across the roads. I’ve never been especially confident about my road crossing abilities – years of b
My Manic Week

‘One Day’ there was a six year old bride in Paignton
It was dark and raining heavily – the gloom of the seafront mitigated somewhat by the glow from strings of coloured lights. We passed a deserted merry-go-round, Big Dipper and candy floss stall, followed by hotel after hotel with curtains open displaying brightly lit function ro
Fab not Drab – Fanciful Footwear
Last Easter we had a family gathering at my Sister’s house. In addition to the pleasure gained from getting together as a family, it was an opportunity to enjoy her exquisite cooking. As well as being a fantastic cook my Sister has a mean eye for antiques and quirky artefacts. An auct
Playfulness
I learned long ago that muddle and uncertainty can be the melting pot for creativity. The tricky bit is tolerating the discomfort and staying with the process until things unfold. Curiosity and playfulness can help with this. My daughter recently went on a clowning workshop; the parti
