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

Living in the moment
Fear and how it can negate our ability to live in the present moment, was the theme of my quote for classes last week. The reading came from a book on Fear by Thich Nhat Hanh: ‘When we are not fully present, we are not really living. We’re not really there, either for our loved
