Behind the scenes at Harrogate Yoga
‘Have you had a nice break?’ is a common question from my students when classes begin again in September. Luckily no one asked me, because I would’ve said: ‘I’ve had one of the most challenging times in my life and I’m on my knees – so the ans

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
Harrogate Yoga’s new website!

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
Bright Lights and Energy Centres
A few years ago I’d become exhausted through working very intensively. I was due to make a presentation on the Endocrine System and its relationship with the chakras and I wondered how I would find the energy to prepare yet another piece of work. I began experimenting in my own yoga p
