It’s approaching three months since I walked away from our Yoga Studio in Hove. Like many, I entered a state of initial grief wrapped in uncertainty. The full calendar remained hanging in the kitchen with the weeks ahead filled with plans and promise. I found it impossible to be still at this time and leapt into action. I used this…

International Yoga Day – i360 – MIND Charity Event
21st June 2018 – The 4th International Yoga Day – where members of the Yoga with Fiona community got together to practice high up on the British Airways i360 – we raised awareness and money for MIND – Brighton & Hove. A huge £1035.00 has been donated so far, thanks to generous support for this wonderful charity which promotes good mental health in the city and across Sussex.
We were a part of the biggest ever shared Yoga practice, happening globally on this special day. As Yoga practitioners we are never alone in this cosmos – we are safely embraced as part of a Yoga family. Namaste and thank you to all x

She asked a question I have often been asked by new comers to yoga regarding dizziness and increased heart rate during practice – especially when raising from standing forward bends. I thought that my response to her may be of interest or…
Beginners Warm Up Sequence
I have been asked to add this video showing a variation of our warm up sequence to act as a memory aid for beginners. Please do not try to practice while watching this and remember that essential adaptations are explained in class for those with less flexibility or stability.
In Consideration of ‘Hot Yoga’ ……
A traditional ‘Hot Yoga’ studio such as developed by Bikram Choudhury is heated to 40 •c (104 •f). I have always found this uncomfortable for my own practice and question the benefits. At my studio a comfortable heat of 28 •c (82.4•f) is maintained to avoid the tightness of cold muscles, while allowing for pranayama and asana to build up…
New Student Deal – now available….
I have today launched a Living Social Deal for NEW STUDENTS to experience a month of unlimited yoga with us. In the past I have offered deals on 10 class cards valid for 3 months, which I found to drawn out and therefore disturbing to regular class focus. I am hoping that a months deal will invite new faces for…
