Over the past few months, I have started looking within myself, and I have taken a very personal journey. I started practicing yoga and more recently, meditation. My body changed, I became stronger, more toned, and noticed and appreciate life so much more. My children have also embraced yoga, and enjoy playing the role of the teacher!

Towards the end of 2013, knowing my youngest child was about to begin school after Christmas, I started thinking about what could come next for us in terms of work that I could still fit in around bringing up our children. Should I go back to running my cakes business Eden’s Pantry, or perhaps seek a local part-time job, but none of these options were really jumping out at me or making me feel too enthusiastic. So instead, bearing in mind I still had some time I just waited with a knowing feeling that something would come and when it did, I knew I needed to follow my heart, my dreams and master my yoga practice. Once mastered, I would share this with others as the benefits are so beautiful.

And now I find myself surrounded by positive people, adventure, wonder and movement. I feel more strong, determined and excited than I ever have. Life is so much fun. I have learned so much. Onwards and upwards…… life is beautiful, if you let it be.
