New year, new things... I'm not going to lie, it's been tough not doing new things every day. There have been many, many times where I've been wandering around my house, convinced that I should be doing something. I couldn't resist the lure of the new for long though, and I'm back, ready to dive… Continue reading Yoga in the Forest

Day 336 – Attempted the Splits
November was a busy month for me as not only did I write an actual book, I also learned to do the splits! Well, kind of. Photo by Gabby K on Pexels.com At the beginning of November, I mentioned to a friend that I'd like to try and do the splits. She decided to join… Continue reading Day 336 – Attempted the Splits
Day 157 – Yoga Nidra class
I have tried a few different home yoga styles over the past few weeks, including some weird and wacky ones.

Day 96 – Yin Yoga class
I've been doing Yin yoga on YouTube for the past few years, trying a few different videos, but always coming back to Yoga With Kassandra. She has a great series for beginners and is amongst one of the few yoga YouTubers who don't talk all through the quiet parts. This is very important in a… Continue reading Day 96 – Yin Yoga class
