Adaptability – the highway to health and happiness?
In Harrogate – my home town, we’ve had plenty to adapt to in the past few days – we’ve been hosting the UCI World Championships! My excitement began to grow as I witnessed the Fan Park and many other vital pieces of infrastructure being built on West Park Stray. Earl

Head to Tail – sequential movement of the spine in asana
I have many memories from my first yoga teacher training course with Donna Farhi, even though it was way back in 2000. One memory is especially vivid, it was a spinal yield and push inquiry – there were three of us, me in child with my head supported on a block, one perso

Is commitment always a good thing?
Today was a departure from my usual routine, instead of beginning the day with an hour or so of yoga practice, I went to a B2B breakfast meeting at Hotel du Vin, Harrogate. The participants were a welcoming group of local business people. We were all required to say a few words about
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

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
Not walking on water yet
Super-normal accomplishment is known in yogic texts as a siddhi – becoming very light or walking on water for example. Sometimes there seems to be an expectation of yoga teachers to have ‘super powers’ – to be invincible and beyond life’s vicissitudes – so that no pain, injury, exhau
