A few short snippets of yoga & fun in Mexico 🇲🇽🔥

🪼 What we have right now is this moment

🌺 We have to appreciate the life that we have

💜 Love who you are (or make changes :))

🪸 Love & appreciate the people who love you for who you are

It's simple most of the time 🪷🌴

📷 Night to day

Last night in 🇲🇽 it's been fun, lovely people, delicious food & hot weather. Loved teaching the yoga classes. Plus, the hottest chilli sauces I've ever tasted 🔥🔥🔥

True wealth lies in vitality and health

We have to keep looking after ourselves best we can and appreciating friends & family.

Mexico 🇲🇽 ... Blending in 🌴🌴🌴
#yogaméxico #yogateacherlife

Day 4 in Mexico 🇲🇽 & I've settled in to the chilled life here very easily, I already feel like I've been here ages🌊 ☀️

Today I taught 3 online yoga sessions, 1 in person yoga class & a full body fitness class both on the beach.

It's super fun, I love it but sand does get everywhere! 😂🤷

#yoga #yogamexico #fitnessmotivation #yogateacherlife

2 days in Mexico so far...it's been lots of fun..today I taught 3 hours online & 2 in person classes - Yoga & a little legs / core fitness workout 🇲🇽💜

It's been hot but mostly cloudy but I've still managed to go darker somehow 🙄

Today I definately ate my bodyweight in delicious beef as was starving, from working so hard obviously 😝

I managed to do an 80 mins gym workout, a 5km beach walk during sunset, an hour to read my book, and a 20 mins meditation.

The cleaner left me a funny little gift, no. 6 which made me smile.

Apart from that, was pretty lazy 😀

Oh, and the Agouti 🐀 no. 10 (Rodents) are sweet but also pretty wierd looking. They are everywhere and seem to be eating fruit all the time.

I was definitely meant to be born in a hot country 🔥☀️🤷
... in fact, my big sister used to tell me as a kid that I was born from India because I always went dark easily and she stayed red/white 😂

And this is how I have been picking up a tan, exercising outdoors in the heat is my favourite 😜

I also discovered a very beautiful, peaceful & deserted woodland area with a few lakes 🏞️

You never know what you will stumble across & discover unless you just get out there 💚😘

💜 Thoughts are not facts

💜 Be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year

💜 Catch yourself when having a negative thought
Reframe it to be more neutral or positive then ask how to do better next time.

Corfu Yoga Retreat May 2026 🎉💜💙💜

A few snapshots of what we got up to... Fun Thai Yoga Therapy, lots of very delicious Greek cuisine, relaxation, sunshine, and lots more ☀️💜💙❤️

Thank you to those that joined. Looking forward to next year already!

What a fantastic, beautiful and sunny day in Corfu today. I slightly caught the sun 🌞

Our last full day here on the Retreat 🧿 🇬🇷

We had a strength & flexibility flow yoga session and a relaxing yin yoga session. Pictures from the photographer to come 📸

Then this afternoon we headed out for a 3 hour hike on the donkey trail 🫏 then for a dip in the sea to cool down. Stunning views 😍

🐦‍🔥
Strength grows in the moments when you think you can't go on, but you keep going anyway 💪
🐦‍🔥
A calm & focused mind is the ultimate weapon against challenges. So, also find time to relax.
🐦‍🔥
Giving out positive energy to others is infectious

🇬🇷 🧘
I'm preparing to travel to Corfu for my Yoga Retreat. I'm really looking forward to looking after everyone... making sure they work hard 😃 but have a lot of fun too. Lots of yoga, sunshine, delicious Greek cuisine & relaxation ☀️🏖️

It feels crazy 😜 14.5 years ago I started this class 🧘

When I started it, I knew I wanted to bring some "traditional" yoga and some "non traditional" yoga to my students.

Coming from an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga background but also loved fitness, weights, running and Muay Thai Kickboxing, I felt that sometimes to make progress, & to keep the love, different movements, techniques & approaches are needed & very helpful.

So, warm ups are usually cat cows with sun salutations but once in a while, there may be a few jumping jacks or chaturanga holds with pressups thrown in 💪

Every movement requires a breath which involves lots of focus, stamina & strength.

As a result, it's lovely to see everyone getting stronger, fitter & more flexible 😊

I think Yoga requires a lot, physically, mentally, and emotionally than one may think ❤️🏵️

So, in other words, if you are thinking of trying yoga, just do it. It will help you in your other sports, exercise & general well being.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and look forward to seeing you soon 😘

There is a funny Chinese saying...

"You can't get fat with one mouthful."

Meaning...
Don't be impatient; success takes time 😃

#chinese #halfchinese #yoga #patience #successmindset

🌿Release the Need for Control:
Allowing things to unfold means releasing the need to control every outcome, embracing patience, and trusting that life can develop naturally without constant pressure, force, or urgency.

🪻Trust the Process:
It is a belief that things will fall into place, even when they do not go according to your original plan.

🌿 Embrace Stillness and Patience:
It involves sitting with uncertainty rather than needing immediate answers or taking immediate action.

🪻 Focus on Response Over Outcomes:
While you cannot control external events, you can control your own mindset, attitude, and response.

💜 What I've found, by not fighting for control, you create space for calm, clarity & more peace.

☀️ Releasing the pressure to have everything figured out allows you to feel lighter, more at ease and a lot less stress, which has so many knock on effects to health 😀

Yesterday's serious practice then some fun and games 🥰

Thank you for inviting me to teach. You all worked really hard as usual 💪

#yogaclasses #yogaworkshop #yogaburystedmunds #ashtanga #partneryoga

Working harder on becoming stronger in many different ways

Last few months, it hasn't been super easy honestly. Lots of obstacles to overcome.

Hard work doesn't guarantee success or all outcomes....

But it does improve our chances, increases resilience and build skills....

like an investment that compounds over time 📉

💚🌻🪻

So, it's good to remind ourselves to keep going and we can only do what we can do 💪

You might already know, I love the forest 🌲

A place to change or create ideas but keep your principles 🌱

... like changing tree leaves but grounded roots 💚

My little forest break today was fun.

Sun was shining and felt lucky to have this on my doorstep.

2 of my favourite poses are picture 2 & 3.

🪷You are never too strong to keep working on the basics and foundations.

🪷Most of my practice is very, very simple.

🪷But simple allows me to work on more challenging postures and achieve better results more easily.

💜Have a great Saturday

Parable of the Shallow Well🕳️💦
(Persistence)

🌱A man wanting to find water began digging a well

🌱After digging a few feet and finding nothing, he grew discouraged

🌱He moved 20 feet away, and started again...

🌱He repeated dozens of times, leaving the field full of holes but never finding water.

🪷Sometimes, progress requires digging deep in one place rather than constantly jumping to new styles when the practice becomes difficult.

🩶"Find your edge" means identifying the precise, often uncomfortable, boundary between your current capabilities and your potential for growth, allowing you to push personal, physical, or mental limits without breaking.

🩶It represents a "sweet spot" of maximum effort, balance, and focus, where you are challenged but not overwhelmed.

🩶It is the point in a challenge where you are stretched but still able to remain calm and focused, balancing effort with ease.

Nice fun one to try... Get the elbows on the floor and keep butt & hips down 👌💪

✨The stars are always there

✨Sometimes we don't always see them

✨If we look for them, there are many beautiful things, opportunities, and paths to find

✨Sometimes, we have to be in the darkness, to finally see the beautiful light that was there all along 💜

Reviews

What They Say

I have always enjoyed your classes finding them physically stimulating, not to say challenging in some positions. When I had a long period without classes (covid/moving house etc.) I could definitely feel that I was deteriorating and whilst deterioration is inevitable at some stage regular yoga keeps it at bay. It is also mentally relaxing because classes require concentration. I always feel better after a class than I did before it so thank you.

Love

Amanda

Why do I practise yoga?

Because I really enjoy having an hour where all I think about is what I'm doing right at that moment.

Because you are so encouraging and positive and give adaptations to suit individual need.

Because it makes my body feel stronger and I always feel like I've worked hard.

Because each week is different, whilst still being based on the same type of movements.

Thank you for teaching me!
