Equanimity Yoga

What Happens in a Equanimity Yoga Yoga Nidra class? Sometimes our biggest barrier to trying something new is the unknown, so what happens in one of my classes?

People arrive and find a spot on one of that mats that I’ve (hopefully) laid out in advance! Everyone is given a mat with a bolster, blanket, pillow and eye bag to help make their ‘Nidra nest’ as comfy as possible.

The class starts with some very gentle movement – joint rotations normally – to ease the body and relieve and aches and strains from the day. Then we lay down and do the first Yoga Nidra, usually around 15-20 minutes.

When we come back into the room we share some strawberries and chocolates and anyone who wants to can ask questions or share their experience of the first Nidra.

We end with a second Yoga Nidra usually around 20-30 minutes long before coming back and doing some reintegration, tapping all over the body to reawaken ourselves before you are on you want home hopefully feeling lighter and more relaxed.

Fancy giving it a go? My next Yoga Nidra class is on Wednesday 1st April at St Thomas Church Hall, Exeter 7pm to 8.15pm. £10. Drop me a message or email [email protected] to book or just turn up, there is loads of space!

The light has returned
The wheel turns toward dawn

Warmth spills across the land
The earth sings again

Rise with it, wild and unafraid
Grow and meet the sun

Joyous first day of spring! 🌺

🌙 Reclaiming Friday the 13th: A Day of Divine Feminine Power 🌙

Friday the 13th. A date that makes some people nervous. But what if I told you this superstition was built on top of something sacred?

Friday takes its name from Freya — Norse goddess of love, wisdom, and magic. A warrior and a healer, a lover and a seer. Friday was her day. A day to honour intuition, pleasure, and the deep power of the feminine.

And the number 13? Also sacred. Thirteen moon cycles in a year made 13 the number of the feminine — of renewal, of the body's natural rhythms, of life moving in circles rather than straight lines.

The demonisation of Friday the 13th didn't happen by accident. As patriarchal structures took hold, the symbols of feminine power — the moon, the number 13, Friday itself — were quietly reframed as something to fear. The goddess was turned into a superstition.

And this particular Friday the 13th feels especially potent — we're in the middle of Mercury retrograde in Pisces, asking us to slow down, go inward, and trust our intuition. The cosmic weather is actively supporting a return to feminine wisdom right now. That feels less like coincidence and more like an invitation.

So today, reclaim it. Light a candle. Trust your instincts. Honour the cycles you live within. Friday the 13th doesn't belong to bad luck.

It belongs to you. 🌙💫

I had some lovely feedback after last week's Yoga nidra class. Yoga Nidra really can help with sleep quality and here's one possible reason why (there are others!)! Yoga Nidra works with the theta brainwave state — a deeply receptive state usually only experienced briefly as we fall asleep. Spending time here during practice can help process stress and emotion, leaving you lighter and calmer when bedtime comes.
The result? Better sleep quality, fewer night wakings, and more energy during the day. 🌙

If you struggle with sleep perhaps Yoga Nidra can help you.... My next Yoga Nidra class is on Wednesday 1 April at St Thomas Church Hall, Exeter 7pm to 8.15pm. £10. Drop me a message or email [email protected] to book.
