Dear Yogis,

Happy Full Moon to you all. 

Tomorrow’s Full Moon offers us a beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. In astrology, this Full Moon is in Pisces, a deeply intuitive, compassionate, and spiritual water sign. Pisces invites us to soften, trust our inner wisdom, and allow ourselves to flow with life rather than resist it.

As with all Full Moons, emotions can feel amplified. The Moon has long been associated with the element of water, and just as it influences the tides of the ocean, many believe it can also stir the waters within us.

If you’re already feeling joyful, you may notice that joy feels even brighter. If you’re carrying sadness, stress, or uncertainty, those feelings may also rise to the surface. Rather than seeing this as something to fear, think of it as an invitation. The Full Moon shines a light on whatever is asking to be acknowledged, felt, and gently released.

This is a wonderful time to:
• Spend a few quiet moments in meditation or breathwork.
• Journal about anything you’re ready to let go of.
• Express gratitude for the blessings already present in your life.
• Set an intention to create more peace, compassion, and balance moving forward.
• If you can, step outside and spend a few moments under the moonlight, simply breathing and appreciating its beauty.

Remember, whatever arises is welcome. Meet yourself with kindness and curiosity. There is no need to change or fix anything in this moment—simply observe, breathe, and allow.

May this Full Moon bring you clarity where there has been confusion, peace where there has been worry, and a deeper connection to your heart.

Wishing you a peaceful, magical, and love-filled Full Moon.

With love and gratitude,Sima 

Dear Yogis,

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful Strawberry Full Moon.

Despite its sweet name, the Strawberry moon isn’t usually pink or red. It takes its name from Native American traditions, marking the time of year when wild strawberries were ready to be harvested. It is a beautiful reminder of abundance, gratitude, and the rewards that come from nurturing ourselves with patience and care.

A full moon is often seen as a time of illumination – a chance to reflect on what has come to light in our lives and to celebrate how far we’ve come. Many spiritual traditions view it as an opportunity to release what no longer serves us and create space for new energy and fresh intentions.

During this moon, you may notice emotions feeling stronger than usual, a greater desire for clarity, or a longing to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Whether or not you experience these feelings, this can be a meaningful moment to pause and check in with your heart. 

This is a wonderful time to:

*  Practice gratitude for the blessings already in your life.

*  Spend time in nature and soak up the light of the moon.

* Meditate, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

* Journal about what you’re ready to let go of and what you’d like to welcome into the next chapter.

* Be kind to yourself and others, allowing compassion to guide your actions.

You may wish to do less of:

* Overthinking or trying to control every outcome.

*️ Reacting impulsively to heightened emotions.

* Filling every moment with business or distraction.

* Holding onto old worries, resentments, or Limiting beliefs that no longer support your growth.

As you move through this full moon, remember that just as the moon waxes and wanes, we too move through seasons of growth, rest, release, and renewal. Every phase has its purpose.

I hope you find a little extra stillness, joy, and light in the days ahead. 

With love, gratitude, and blessings,

Namaste 

Namaste Yogis,

I wanted to share a little note with you about this beautiful May full moon and the energy it brings.

Full moons are often seen as a time of illumination – a moment where things come to light, both around us and within us. Emotions can feel a little stronger, thoughts a little louder, and it’s quite normal to feel more sensitive or reflective during this time. It’s like the moon gently encourages us to pause and notice what’s been building beneath the surface.

This month’s full moon sits in a sign that invites us to look a little deeper, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to trust in transformation. You might notice a pull to release old habits, thoughts, or emotions – anything that feels heavy or out of alignment.

Rather than resisting it, this is a lovely opportunity to lean in with curiosity and kindness towards yourself.

If you practice, you might feel drawn to:

* Slow, grounding flows

* Hip openers ( great for releasing stored emotions )

* Gentle twists to “wring out” tension

* Longer holds and deeper breaths

Or even just taking a few quiet moments to sit, breathe, and check in with yourself .

If you can, step outside tonight and take a look at the moon – it’s a simple but powerful way to feel connected and present.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. The full moon isn’t about doing more, but about becoming more aware.

With love and lunar light

Dear Yogis,

Tonight, we welcome the gentle glow of April’s full moon – a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level.

Full moons invite illumination. They highlight our hidden emotions, who we really are on the inside – offering us clarity, release, and renewal. You may notice emotions rising a little closer to the surface, or a quiet pull inward – this is the moon’s energy guiding you back home to yourself.

On your mat, I invite you to move slowly and with intention. Honour this energy through grounding and heart-opening poses. You might explore:

Gentle forward folds, like Child’s Pose or Standing Forward Fold, to encourage release.
Hip openers such as Pigeon Pose, allowing stored emotions to soften and unwind.
Heart-opening postures like Cobra or Bridge, to invite in openness and light.
Seated twists, supporting detoxification and letting go.
And perhaps ending with a longer Savasana, simply resting under the energy of the moon.

Above all, let your practice be less about doing, and more about feeling.

If you have a moment tonight, step outside, look up, and allow ourself to be held in the quiet magic of the moonlight.

Love & Light

Dear Yogis,

“What if you no longer needed to control everything/“ The lunar eclipse of March 3 in Virgo poses this question head-on. It marks the end of a cycle of mental tension and opens up a space where perfection ceases to be a protection.

This Full Moon invites us to come back to our lives – our habits, routines, thoughts, and self care rituals. Virgo energy is practical, observant, and healing.
Under this moon, we are encouraged to clear what feels cluttered – physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Spiritually, this is a moon of:

* Purification and cleansing

* Releasing perfection

* Realigning with healthy routines

* Devotion to self care and service

Virgo reminds us that spirituality is not only found in grand gestures, but in the small, mindful acts we repeat daily – how we nourish ourselves, how we speak to ourselves, how we care for our bodies.

This moon asks:

Where can I simplify? Where can I soften self judgement? What small habit could bring more harmony into my life?

A Full Moon invites illumination. It shines a light on what has been building beneath the surface – emotions, intentions, patterns. When a lunar eclipse
joins in, that energy is amplified. Eclipses are like cosmic reset buttons. They help us release what no longer serves us and gently ( or sometimes not so gently!) redirect us towards where we’re meant to grow.

If you can, step outside and soak in the moonlight. Let it remind you that cycles are natural. Just like the moon, we are constantly shifting, shedding, and renewing.

With love

Sima

Dear Yogis,

Today, we welcome the full moon in Leo – a powerful moment of illumination and bold energy.

Leo full moons are all about self expression, creativity, and confidence. You might feel more vibrant, a bit more dramatic, or have a strong urge to shine and be seen. Embrace this energy and let it guide you towards authenticity and joy.

This is a time to celebrate your unique gifts. Reflect on what makes you feel alive and expressive. Engage in creative activities and allow yourself to shine. 

Be mindful of overconfidence or the need for validation. The Leo full moon can sometimes stir up a bit of ego. Balance your confidence with humility and compassion. 

 Yoga poses that support this energy

To align with Leo’s vibrant energy, try poses that open the heart and boost confidence:

 Camel Pose ( Ustrasana ) to open the chest and heart centre.

Warrior poses ( Virabhadrasana ) to cultivate strength and courage.

 Fish Pose ( Matsyasana ) for a gentle heart opener.

 Lion’s Pose ( Simhasana ) to release tension and of course, end with a peaceful Savasana to integrate the energy.

Remember, you don’t need to “fix” anything during a full moon. Simply feel, breathe, and allow. Everything else will unfold in its own time.

Sending you love, calm, and steady energy under this Leo moon 

See you on the mat 

Dear Yogis,

I hope you’ve had a beautiful Christmas and are enjoying a restful start to the New Year 

I just wanted to let you know about a small change to our return date. While I previously shared that classes would resume on the 6th of January, this has now been moved to Tuesday the 13th of January.

Thank you so munch for your understanding. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you back to the mat and beginning the new year together with intention, movement, and breath.

Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year 

Love & Light,

Lovely yogis,

As we come to the end of the year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your presence, dedication, and beautiful energy on the mat.
Practising together has been a true gift, and I’m truly grateful for our shared journey this year.

I wish you a peaceful Christmas filled with rest, joy, and warmth, and a New Year that brings balance, health, and fresh inspiration.

Classes will begin again on Tuesday, January 6, and I’m looking forward to welcoming you back to the mat and starting the new term together.

With love and gratitude

Dear yogis,

Tonight we gather under a special full moon – a “supermoon” – when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, glowing brighter and stronger than usual.
This amplified lunar light offers a powerful time for reflection, release, and renewal.

Because our bodies are over 70% water, the moon’s heightened energy tends to stir our “inner waters” – emotions, intuition, memories, and subtle feelings. Tonight, those waters may rise gently to the surface, offering an opportunity to honour whatever needs acknowledging – old grief, unspoken dreams, creative longings, or inner wisdom.

I encourage you to use this evening for a gentle, soft yoga or meditation practice, pay special attention to your breath – slow and deep – and let yourself intuitively move or rest. Perhaps set an intention or write in a journal: something you wish to release, transform, or welcome into your life.

Let the moon’s luminous presence guide you – to soften , to sense, to heal. May this last supermoon light of 2025 bring clarity, compassion, and peace to your heart.

With love and lunar light,

Sima
