Spring is definitely in the air - I can smell it and it’s wonderful. Spring is an important time to remember that whilst we can find change hard, it’s also constant, and can be positive.

This week I visited Llanddwyn beach. What really struck me was the landscape and the way the forest meets the beach, with trees growing right in the sand dunes it seemed.

We’ve now had ten classes of the new Yoga for All accessible classes in Old Colwyn and I’m very much enjoying teaching them. I’m loving seeing the students develop, and what they do and don’t enjoy, celebrating their successes and joining in the laughter.

This last week I’ve not been feeling on top form and so have been taking it a bit easier. I found a colour by numbers app and got right into it. All in all I’ve been finding enjoyment in the concentration at a time when my head’s been feeling foggy.
