Like many of us, I spent years moving through life with momentum - chasing productivity, pushing harder, playing the game. In my twenties and early thirties, it worked. Or at least, it felt like it did. But eventually, something in me said no.

Around the same time, I left my career as a sociology and politics teacher, moved back to the UK, and began working on a community-run organic farm. I spent six years living and growing with the rhythm of the land - veg and myself. It was a slow and honest re-education: healing from long days under artificial light, quick meals, linear expectations, and the demand to show up the same no matter the season.

During that time, I deepened my yoga practice and trained to teach ashtanga yoga, but I soon realised this contained the same old structures: push harder, strive for progress, listen to a male’s voice over my own. ‘Advanced’ meant achieving a shape, not inhabiting your body.

So I began to unlearn. I softened into movement as inquiry. I let my cycle and the shifting seasons guide me. I trained to guide somatically. And slowly, things began to re-root.

During the pandemic, I offered seasonal online packages shaped by my time on the farm, my studies in yoga philosophy, Buddhism and Ayurveda, and the body-based wisdom I was learning. Alongside Reclaim Your Cycle, and the popularity of She Who Held Many Selves, I found myself holding space for women navigating transitions, endings, initiations, and new beginnings.

This is the ground from which this year-long practice has grown.
