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,

Sima

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

Sima

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

Dear yogis,
Just a quick reminder that there will be no yoga class next Tuesday, November 11.
Classes will continue as usual the following week and will run through until December 16.
Looking forward to seeing you back on the mat soon.
Love & light, Sima 🧘‍♀️

Dear Yogis,
As we approach this month’s full moon – the Beaver Moon – We are invited to pause, breathe, and feel. Full moons are powerful energetic gateways – a time when everything rises to the surface so we can see clearly, release deeply, and realign with intention.
The full moon occurs on 05 November, and it falls in the sign of Taurus. It’s classed as a supermoon: this is the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025, because the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth.
This Beaver Moon in Taurus carries potent themes of grounding, value, stability, and material/spiritual balance. The Beaver Moon name reminds us of preparation, of finalising what needs tending before winter – in nature and inside ourselves.
Key words: steadiness, worth, inner resources, comfort, release of old patterns around security, sensuality, grounded being.
Invitation: Ask yourself – What do I value most? What supports me in feeling safe, stable, and aligned? What am I ready to release or transform so I can stand in my own strength?
This full moon in Taurus invites a gentle, grounded, sensory practice – one where the body is honoured, the senses awakened, and the release is soft but firm.
To honour this lunar cycle, I invite you to bring this theme of “value & grounded being” into your yoga practice. Let’s slow down the pace, soften the practice and honour the moon’s wisdom together.
With love, light, and lunar blessings,
Sima

Dear Yogi friends,
Today, we welcome the Hunter’s Moon, the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon. Traditionally, its bright light guided hunters as they prepared for the colder, darker months ahead. Spiritually, this moon invites us to do the same – to reflect on what we have gathered this year and prepare ourselves inwardly for the season ahead.
The full moon always amplifies energy, stirring emotions like the tides. You may feel more sensitive, restless or deeply reflective at this time. The Hunters Moon encourages us to ask:
✨ What am I ready to release?
✨ What do I wish to carry with me into the winter months?
The Moon governs tides, and since our bodies are around 60% water, many traditions link full moons to emotional intensity.
A gentle way to balance this watery emotional energy is through grounding practices; slow yoga flows, hip-opening poses ( to release stored emotional tension ), and calming breathwork like nadi shodahana ( alternate nostril breathing ).
May this full moon shine light on your path, guiding you with clarity and peace as we move closer to the stillness of winter.
With love and light

Dear Yogis,
Today, We welcome the Corn Moon in Pisces, accompanied by a powerful total lunar eclipse.
This full moon shines a light on our inner world, especially our emotions, and like the tides of ocean, we too may feel pulled in deep directions.
The Pisces energy brings heightened sensitivity, intuition, and compassion. You may notice dreams becoming more vivid, emotions rising to the surface, or old patterns revealing themselves. This is not a time to resist – it’s an invitation to soften, surrender and release.
In Yoga tradition, the full moon is linked to prana ( energy ) being at its peak, which can make us feel both energised and unsteady. That’s why soft, inward practices – rather than strong flows help us balance and honour this powerful lunar phase.
May this Corn Moon guide you to release with grace, flow with your emotions like water, and find stillness within.
With lunar light

Dear Yogis,
As we welcome the Sturgeon Moon, August’s full moon, We are invited to pause and reflect. Named after the ancient fish that were once most plentiful this time of year, this moon carries the energy of abundance, resilience, and introspection.
Emotionally, full moons tend to heighten feelings – you may feel more sensitive, reactive, or nostalgic right now. That’s okay. The Sturgeon Moon encourages us to go inward, let go of old emotional baggage, and realign with our deeper intentions.
What to do:
🌾 Slow down and take stock of what ’s growing in your life.
🧘‍♀️Ground yourself with calming, meditative practices.
🕯️Journal, reflect, and gently release what no longer serves you.
This is a beautiful time for moon salutations, hip openers, and long, soothing breaths. Let’s honour the emotional tides, trust the process, and flow with the moon’s gentle guidance.
Wishing you presence and peace,
Sima

Classes will continue as normal outside of these dates.
Wishing you a restful, sunny, and joyful summer.
With warmth and gratitude,

Dear Yogis,
July’s full moon rises in the earth sign of Capricorn, the ambitious and grounded sea goat of the zodiac.
Nicknamed the Buck Moon because it coincides with the time of year that deer grow antlers in North America, this lunation represents a moment of change and transcendence. This is a powerful lunar moment that invites us to reflect, release and realign with our purpose.

🌕 The Emotional Energy of the Full Moon
Full moons often stir our emotions, bringing what’s hidden into light. You may feel more sensitive, contemplative, or even a little restless. Emotions tend to rise like the tides, asking to be seen and felt. Capricorn, an earth sign known for structure and discipline, invites us to ground ourselves amidst the emotional waves.

🌕 A Time for Spiritual maturity
Spiritually, this full moon asks us to balance ambition with emotional wisdom. It’s a time to reflect on your goals, responsibilities, and the structures in your life. Are they aligned with your deeper truth? Are they supporting your growth – or weighing you down?
Rather then striving or pushing forward, this is a beautiful moment to pause and honour your journey.

🌕 How to Embrace the Full Moon Energy
* Reflect: Journal about what you’re ready to release – habits, fears, patterns, or self doubt.
* Ground: Spend time in nature or sit quietly with your breath to find stillness within.
* Gratitude: Expressing gratitude during the full moon can amplify positive energy. Write down what you are thankful for and offer thanks to the universe.
* Rest: Listen to your body and allow space for deep healing and integration.

Let this full moon be a sacred pause – a chance to check in , breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
With light and gratitude,
Sima
