As April settles into its pattern of sunshine and showers, I hope you are making the most of the rising energy and the warmth of the sun when it comes through.
I’ve been spring-cleaning and clearing, creating a nice clear space for the year ahead and planning some exciting new things. I’m also looking ahead to May and the yoga practice I’ll be sharing with you.

The month of May often feels like a gap between the seasons.
One day it’s definitely Spring…. the next, it could be Summer!
The vagaries of our climate, and the unpredictability of the weather, make May a month of contrasts. Adaptability, a positive outlook and layering are the keys to enjoyment!
Beltane (celebrated from the evening of 30th April to the evening of 1st May) heralds the coming of summer just around the corner. This period that we are about to enter, from May Day to the Summer Solstice, is the most energetic of the year. Nature is burgeoning, blossoming and overflowing with new life.
Let’s get swept along with it!

Now’s the time to fill our days with action towards our goals and dreams; to be energised by the increasing power of the sun; to expand our horizons, to try new things and pick up old favourites again that we hibernated over the winter.
If you identified any goals or plans for your year back at Imbolc, at the first stirrings of life in early February, now’s the time to get behind those plans and really push them.
If not now, when?
Notice how you feel on a glorious warm day, with the sun on your face and a fresh breeze gently encouraging you onwards. Take that feeling and turn it into action towards the things that make your heart swell and want to sing from the treetops!
