I love this phrase. Unfortunately I don't think I hear it enough. Maybe I don't hear it enough because people don't actually have it, but I don't think that's true.

I was on a call this week with Marianne Cantwell over at Free Range Humans and she was talking...

So, I was talking to Ash over at The Middle Finger Project recently and she reminded me of something -

Life's all about the buzz.

Whilst we all have responsibilities and we all have...

I wrote a list once of the stuff I needed to get done in a day...it scared me quite a lot.

I have no doubt at all that if you're reading this now, you've managed to squeeze in 5 mins between doing the washing, cooking dinner, writing a report and...

Sometimes things don't come easy. Sometimes life's hard. In those times, inspiration people rally together and pick each other up. Tell their war stories and remind each other why they're doing what they do.

You need a community. You need your own inspiration. It doesn't have to be my community,...

Drishti (focus) is something people often forget about. Not just in yoga, but in life generally.

Anyone who's ever done board sports knows that where you look, you go. I found this out one too many times by surfing straight in to someone because I was looking at them rather...

So back in January I posted my 2012 predictions, not because I particularly believe in New Year Resolutions, but because I wanted to make stuff happen this year and wanted to make sure I held myself accountable.

In that post, I promised that by the...

This week I thought I'd bring you a bit of news from the yoga world. I try to keep up to date with stuff but there's so many amazing things going on everyday it's not that easy.

This caught my attention though. I've recently come across Heather Mason as probably...

We've probably all been asked at some stage in our lives, 'What's your biggest weakness?' and 'What's your biggest strength?'. They seem to be standard interview questions that people reel out knowing full well everyone knows you're supposed to make sure your weakness could actually be turned in to a...

Last weekend I spent the weekend in Wales with my Nana and my parents to celebrate her 90th Birthday. 90. Can you imagine? She was born in the 1920s. That's us all in the photo.

Today I wanted to talk about inspiration and in...

I sat, staring in the mirror, amazed at what I had discovered. I was my own worst enemy. I was the one holding me back. For some unknown reason, my subconscious was creating barriers, blocking me from achieving what I wanted to achieve.

It sounds strange but this self-defeating phenomenon,...

I am loving my daily yogasana and yoga nidra routine at the moment and would totally recommend it in a second, but I also know that it doesn't appeal to everyone. You may have heard mindfulness being thrown around all over the place though.

Is there something you wish you could do, or be, or go see... But you can't because of whatever reason?

Whenever you're doing something which isn't really what you want to be doing, you create resistance and tension within yourself. This is what causes a lot of people's health issues.

This post is all about making decisions from a principle centred place.

As you may know, I'm in the process of reading 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Steve Covey. I have to say, reading it on the tube (London Underground trains for my US readers), I haven't...

For the past week and a half I have been diligently listening to a Yoga Nidra audio by Swami Muktibodhanana Saraswati and promised last week to continue it for a month and post my experiences online.

Previously, I have only ever had one yoga nidra session, done in an extended...

At the moment I'm in Devon, enjoying a week away with nothing to do except yoga, reading, getting spa treatments and sit in the private hot-tub that comes with the cottage.

I find it really hard to relax properly. I give people the impression I'm awesome at it, but really,...

This is the story of how my dad conquered his fear.

I was on holiday with my parents and my brother. Yes it might be a strange thing for a 20-something to do, but it's become a bit of a tradition. Every year, for the past seven years, we've come...

I recently went through some dramatic life changes, spurred on by seemingly overnight life-altering decisions, taken by me, and although it seemed like these decisions had literally taken years to make, once I had actually made them and committed to them, everything seemed to start flowing the right direction and...

Are you being genuine? Or are you acting out a part; being who you think people want you to be?

This is a question I've found myself asking a lot recently. I'm sure we've all done it before - talked ourselves up at interviews, put on a slightly posher 'telephone'...

There is a common misconception that if you want something really badly, you have to work super duper hard to get it. I'd like to challenge this idea.

The whole concept of the law of attraction tells us that the universe is abundant i.e. there is more than enough of...

I know that you will have been inundated with 'It's Christmas!' messages over the past week or so and I do genuinely hope everyone has at least one fond memory of time spent with loved ones over this festive period.

However, that's not what this post is about.
