A Little Decision About My Silly Little Life

Hello friends,

I hope you’re doing well—or as well as we can be with everything going on in the world (a bit of a sh*tstorm isn’t it?!). Sending you a virtual hug through this internet.

The other day, while walking my dog, Dexter, I had a realisation. It’s not unusual for me to ponder life on our walks, and this time, I noticed something interesting - I haven’t filmed my own yoga practice for content (social media or otherwise) in a long time.

As yoga teachers and professionals, there’s a lot of pressure to create content that showcases our offerings (understandably). I’ll be honest - years ago, I used to do this a lot. I used to film my practice and even enjoyed it to an extent. But over time, without really meaning to, I stopped. And I’ve come to realise why: I don’t actually like filming myself doing yoga.

My practice is deeply personal—a refuge I turn to when life gives me the scaries (which, if you have C-PTSD like me, happens quite a lot). It’s my sacred space, where I show up exactly as I am. No fancy leggings, no carefully curated aesthetic—most of the time, it’s just me in my pyjamas, maybe not even wearing a bra, moving in a way that feels good. And often, resting in stillness A LOT.

So, I’ve decided: I’m no longer going to film my personal practice. I’ll still create content, but that’s different. My own practice isn’t for performance—it’s for me. A private, safe sanctuary where I can just be, without the weight of external expectations.

Why am I sharing this? Well, I want to normalise Yoga being a personal thing for some people. No hate whatsoever to other teachers and professionals sharing their own practice – I think you guys look bloody awesome btw!!

But it’s just not my vibe - and I want to be as authentically me as possible on my page and in my offerings 
