"And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."
— Meister Eckhart
Hey lovely, happy new year!
Here we are, another brand new year stretching out before us, full of possibility, softness, adventure, and a little mystery. I always find this time of year a bit magical. Not because everything suddenly becomes perfect on January 1st (wouldn’t that be nice!), but because the air feels thick with potential. It’s a gentle invitation to begin again… not from scratch, but from experience.
And after a well-earned break, The Yoga Pantry opens its doors again on Monday! Yay!! 12th January, and I honestly can’t wait to welcome you back.
There’s something powerful about returning to your mat after time away. It’s like seeing an old friend who somehow always understands you, even after a long silence. No judgement. No expectations. Just a quiet, steady whisper: “You’re here. Let’s begin.”
The Return Is Part of the Practice
A lot of people think yoga is about consistency without interruption, but really, yoga is about coming back. Again and again. Gently. Honestly. With whatever body, breath, and heart you have on that day.
If the holidays threw your routine out the window (mine certainly did), that’s not failure, that’s life. And the beauty is your practice will always wait for you. It doesn’t keep score. It doesn’t mind if you’re a bit stiff, a bit sleepy, or a bit uncertain.
What matters is that spark inside you, the desire to reconnect, recalibrate, and re-energise.
And this time of year is perfect for that.
What Are You Calling In?
January holds a certain spaciousness, a feeling that we’re standing at the threshold of something new. Not pressured “resolutions” that evaporate by February, but quieter, deeper intentions.
Maybe this year you want to feel stronger. Maybe more grounded. Maybe calmer, softer, lighter, more present and above all, more you.
Whatever it is, your mat is the perfect place to cultivate it.
Each breath is a seed planted. Each movement is a vote for the person you’re becoming. Each class is a reminder that growth doesn’t happen all at once; it happens moment by mindful moment.
Let’s Start This Year Together
We have a beautiful roster of classes ready to support you, whether you’re craving slow, meaningful movement, sweaty flow, deep rest, or the kind of grounding only a long savasana can give. Your practice can meet you wherever you are in your personal season right now.
As we step into this new year, I hope you gift yourself the space to return to your body, to your breath, to your inner wisdom, to your joy.
Come as you are. Come home to yourself. Let’s build something beautiful together this year. ♥️🙏🥳

Perimenopause anyone? Karryn and I will be running a 6-week course on coping, or dare I say thriving with Perimenopause and celebrating the wise woman (Sage) you are becoming.

Your Virtual class of the week
Something a little different for you today, I've been sending my wonderful VIP members a yoga video every second day or so, during our 3-week break. Here is the Stretching with a strap session I filmed the other day. I thought it would be a nice way to ease you into your body again after a long break. ZOOM LINK
Enjoy.
