Matters of the Heart: a yoga sequence
Like everyone else I am grappling with the new normal. Never ending self-quarantine, Covid19, watching the US meltdown and most recently with the incredible frustration and fury of police brutality and the murder of George Floyd. “I can’t breathe!!!” Yes, I am white and yes, I am speaking from a place of privilege and yes, I could have done more and educated myself more. … Read More Matters of the Heart: a yoga sequence

Rest, restore and get creative
I don’t think anyone expected to go through what we are going through right now. Who could imagine a situation so beyond our understanding and control. I have been holding back from writing anything here on the blog mainly because I have been spending the majority of my time getting grounded and taking practical steps to be able to self-isolate for an extended period … Read More Rest, restore and get creative

Sailing unchartered waters
Today I’d like to share for Diabetes Awareness Month, a bit more about how diabetes affects the nervous system and why yoga is so beneficial. Imagine…you’ve lost a ton of weight, been super thirsty, you can’t stop peeing and your exhausted. You know somethings wrong but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Then BOOM you are in the hospital hooked up to … Read More Sailing unchartered waters

A horrible hypo
I titled this post at 2 am this morning after a sudden hypo around dinner time. At 2 am I was thinking clearly, taking time to make a note on my phone so I wouldn’t forget. At 7.15 pm things were a whole lot more chaotic. Well not at first…. I was cruising nicely through my evening yoga practice after taking my basal shot … Read More A horrible hypo

Sex and Diabetes: the good news
This post may contain affiliate links to products I trust. Please read Disclaimer for more info Chocolate is sexy. Wearing red is sexy. Deep conversations…..sexy. Diabetes? Not so much. When I was first diagnosed I wasn’t on insulin which meant no low blood sugars. In fact, a good romp meant lower blood sugars and time in range.

What brings me to my knees
When I was pregnant and about 6 years into my yoga practice I was asked to start a prenatal yoga class in my local town. Looking back, I am amazed that everyone survived. I was inexperienced, teaching from a book and making grand claims about how the pain we were experiencing while stretching our legs was exactly like childbirth. Then I gave birth. The … Read More What brings me to my knees

That Mysterious low
It finally happened! I’d heard about it, read about it, feared it, even dreaded it. But one can’t stave off the inevitable. At some point, if you live with diabetes and take insulin you’re going to have a mysterious low. Today it was my turn. It would have made sense if I’d had lower levels when I woke up or hadn’t thought I’d seen … Read More That Mysterious low

I’m a real person
Hey everyone it’s been a while…We’ve been travelling all over Europe for the last month. Spending four days on average in one place and by the time we’ve landed, practiced, checked our emails, cooked, slept and taught there’s honestly not much time to roll out a blog. A few days ago we stopped and my body tanked. I broke out in shingles, stubbed my … Read More I’m a real person

Yoga, meditation and ketones
I don’t know about you but I spend quite a lot of time playing around on social media looking for ways to spruce up my meals. It’s not easy keeping things simple and nutritious. I found Hannah on Instagram and discovered she’s a passionate yogi just like me who also follows a ketogenic diet. We connected off Instagram and I asked her to share her … Read More Yoga, meditation and ketones
