Last Sunday, we attended the poignant and moving Royal British Legion Remembrance Parade, Service and Ceremony  at Keynsham Memorial Park. It was a beautiful morning for reflection and it was warming to see so much support from the local community. Keynsham Park is a place we often visit, primarily for the playgrounds and to walk…

In my blog post ‘Do Yoga for Good‘, I highlighted how my donation-based lunchtime yoga classes this summer have raised over £350 for local, national and international charities. I am now heading indoors for the autumn season, and returning with a new Yoga for Charity class at the Yoga Loft, South Bristol Osteopaths, just off…

We have reached the halfway stage on the Yoga for Cyclists course at 73 Degrees bike shop in Keynsham.

Tonight, I ran my 2nd yoga for cyclists taster session at 73 Degrees bike shop in Keynsham. We moved the class to the front of the shop, and it felt like the perfect space for yoga for cyclists – complete with bikes and accessories surrounding us. The feedback I received from both classes has been…

Geraint Thomas may have won the Tour de France, but the real winners were those that liked, shared, followed and commented on my very own ‘Tour de Yoga’ over the course of Le Tour. During the Tour de France, I posted a video of a yoga pose each day that best represented each of the 21…
