They say that it's hard to be what you cannot see. Admittedly the old adage is slightly ablest, but definitively ingenious when it comes to describing the moment you see yourself in the work of others. Because up until that moment when you're able to see even a fraction of what you've been dreaming of you feel that fire.

5 Simple Tips for Beginner Yogis
I will always remember turning up to my first yoga class. I was a sedentary gangly young thing whose mobility was more akin to Bambi-on-ice than anything else. But I knew it was what I needed, so after dragging my heels for a good few months, one Saturday morning I attended a class with a teacher (who later would be the one to teach me how to teach yoga too).

YOGA FOREVER
The religious development through the ages has gone from raw to a very sophisticated stage where people can ask difficult questions and get satisfactory answers. There were speculations that religion and religious symbols and rituals will become obsolete and only logic will conquer minds and bodies. As we all know, it turned out to be not much of a truth.

5 Simple Tips for Beginner Yogis
Stepping into the world of yoga can be a confusing venture as there is so many styles of yoga out there... How do you choose your Hatha from your Vinyasa? Your Asana’s from your Pranayama’s?! What even is yoga and how is it different from any other form of exercise? If you are new to the world of yoga then all these strange terms can seem a bit much to wrap your head around, especially if you have never even tried wrapping your arms and legs around each other to begin with! I have been teaching for nearly 5 years now, and even as a yoga teacher with a good bit of experience, I still stumble across elements of the yoga world that are totally new to me. Here are a few tips that have helped me navigate my local realm of yoga:

The Art of Slowing Down
This lesson from the mat was brought to you by a combination of Egyptian Yoga and Yin Yoga, which is slow, spending time in each posture, just listening. If you already do yoga then you most likely understand what this can be like, but if you are not a yoga practitioner there are different reasons to do yoga. I’m doing yoga to build strength, some do yoga for the inner work, some do yoga for flexibility some of them do it just to free up some space inside of them.

Moving My Big Body and How You Can Move Joyfully
Looking at yoga and movement hashtags on social media, you’re sure to find lots of different body types, but you’ll see the most representation for thin and petit bodies. My body has changed a lot through the last 12 years of my yoga practice, but my body has never fit into the classic Lululemon aesthetic that fills the pages of Instagram. Even when I was strictly dieting and working out vigorously for hours a day, my body was curvaceous and supple. Through injury and mental illness, my body has grown larger to protect me, and for that, I am so thankful.

Honouring Blackness in Yoga Spaces - 4 Essential Black Yogis. Top Story - February 2021.
Yoga has been an important part of my lived experience for the past three years. Through my practice, I have been able to confront issues relating to my anxiety, self-esteem, body confidence and self-compassion. Rolling out my battered and sweat-stained mat is the first thing I do every morning and the last thing I do every night. Recently, as with every other avenue of my life, I have made the conscious decision to expand and diversify. Diversify my hobbies. Diversify the content that I consume. Diversify the books that I read and the music that I listen to. For the most part, this has been immensely beneficial to my mental health and has further enriched my experience as a black twenty-something.
