A little reflection from last weekend’s beginner handstand workshop at @moreyoga_ Blackwall 💚

Sometimes when I teach, I find myself feeling just as grateful for the experience as my students are for what they learn.

Handstands can be such a challenging journey. I know how much fear can come into the picture and how easy it is to doubt yourself before you’ve even tried, and how much courage it takes to turn upside down and trust yourself in a completely different way.

And that’s what I love so much about teaching this beginner handstand workshops. It’s never just about getting upside down. It’s about learning to face that fear, building confidence, understanding your body and slowly realising that you’re capable of more than you thought. 🤸‍♀️

Last weekend, we spent two hours exploring all of this together. We played with kicking up against the wall, learned how to walk away from it, explored alignment and tried to understand what actually makes a handstand work.

But beyond all the techniques and drills what stayed with me most was the energy in the room. The willingness to try, the laughter, the support, and the love we shared. Everyone showed up with their own fears, their own challenges, and their own starting point, and it was such a beautiful thing to witness. 🥹🙏🏽

I feel so lucky that I get to be part of these moments in people’s journeys. To help them navigate something that might feel scary at first, to remind them that they don’t have to get it right straight away, and to celebrate those little moments when something starts to click.

And I never want to take that trust for granted. The fact that someone chooses to learn from me, to let me guide them and to be vulnerable enough to try something that challenges them means so much to me.

So, to everyone who joined me last weekend, thank you. For your trust, your energy, your openness, and for making those two hours so special. 💚

I left feeling reminded of why I love what I do so much. And honestly, that’s a pretty beautiful feeling to carry with me. ✨ #moreyoga #salvoyoga #handstand

Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) shows up in almost every yoga class I teach, but it’s often practised as a race to the toes. (Or this is what I normally see when I’m teaching Yoga)

Here’s a gentler way to explore it.

Start with bent knees.

Bending your knees lets your pelvis tilt forward so the fold comes from your hips, not from rounding your back.

Your belly rests on your thighs and your spine stays long.
Then straighten slowly.

As you walk your heels forward, your hamstrings lengthen because the pelvis is already tipped over your legs.

Stop at your first real edge and breathe there. With time, your nervous system relaxes its guard and you get more range.

Flex your feet. This brings your calves into the stretch too.

That’s why the heels-forward walk matters.

Remember: a long spine with bent knees is better than straight legs with a collapsed back. Straighten only as far as you can keep your belly connected to your thighs.

Try it on your next practice and let me know what you feel ✨💚

I remember looking at very experienced yogis and watching their transitions thinking, “God, I’ll never be able to do that.”

What I didn’t understand then is that what we usually see is the finished product.

We see the beautiful transition, the effortless-looking movement, the control… but we don’t see the years behind it.

We don’t see the countless repetitions.
The isolations exercises.
The progressions.
The moments where the movement felt impossible.
The tiny pieces that were practiced over and over until they became part of the whole.

And I think this is such an important reminder in our practice: don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s years of refinement.

Sometimes a movement feels impossible simply because we’re looking at the final package instead of breaking it down into the pieces that create it.

This transition is something I once would have looked at and thought, “There’s no way.”

And now I’m here doing it.

Not because it suddenly became easy, but because little by little, the impossible became familiar.

So trust the progressions. Trust the isolations. Trust the small, sometimes boring work.

You never know what your practice is quietly preparing you for. 💚 #salvoyoga #yogateacherlondon #london #handstand

Sometimes, you have to let go of what feels safe to make space for what feels right.

Back in April, I made the decision to leave my full-time job in the corporate world. It was a leap of faith and I had no idea where it would take me.

And since then… so many unexpected doors have opened.

Today, I have the privilege of teaching Yoga at some of London’s most incredible wellness clubs, seeing over 400 students every week. Sometimes I still have those moments where I stop and think, is this really my life?

But beyond the numbers, the studios and the classes, what means the most to me is the people.

To be welcomed into someone’s day, to create a space where they can breathe, move, reconnect with themselves and hopefully leave feeling just a little better than when they arrived, is something I will never take for granted.

Yoga has given me so much, and being able to share it with others and in some small way, touch their lives feels like the greatest gift.

I’m incredibly grateful for this journey, for every door that has opened, every student who has stepped onto the mat with me, and for the courage to take that first step back in April.

Sometimes the biggest changes begin with simply letting go. ✨🙏🏽💚 #salvoyoga #yogateacher #london

Through a Fujifilm lens, but with eyes that never stopped looking.

It’s been a while since my last post on here. Life has been incredibly busy lately and as you’ve probably seen from my stories, the past few weeks have been packed with some amazing opportunities. I’m so grateful for everything that’s been happening.

One thing I’ve realised is that I often struggle to keep up with recording reels, especially when life gets too busy with work.

Today, though, I decided to bring my new Fuji camera with me, set it up and do a little photoshoot on my own after class. It felt so nice to slow down, move and capture a moment that genuinely felt like me.

Sometimes it’s okay to step away from social media for a while. Creating should feel enjoyable, not like a chore, and I’d rather share something meaningful than rush to post just for the sake of it.

So here’s a little yoga moment from today. 💚 Thank you for sticking around - I truly appreciate every one of you. #salvoyoga #yoga #fujifilm
