FEBRUARY 2026
The new Tuesday evening classes has got off to a lovely start.
A small group that enjoy ending the day with an engaging class to revive and relax
February Yoga: Returning to the Light
February often feels like a pause between seasons. In yoga, this month invites us to do the same — to settle, to listen, and to move with intention rather than urgency.
This is a time when many people feel tired, flat, or impatient for spring. Nature reminds us that growth doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s about conserving energy, tending to the roots, and trusting the process.
A Month for Steadiness
February offers something kinder. It encourages us to return to our practice not out of obligation, but out of curiosity and care. This is a time to choose steadiness over speed, depth over display, and presence over performance.
The cold can make us brace, tighten, and hold more than we realise. February yoga is a chance to melt some of that winter armour.
Even the simplest practices — a mindful walk, a stretch before bed, a moment of stillness with a cup of tea — become part of the yoga of February.
This is a month for inner work. A Gentle Turning Toward Spring
By the end of February, the light has noticeably changed. Snowdrops appear. Birds begin to test their morning songs. Something in us responds.. Breathing deeply. Reconnecting with what supports us.
One of the quiet joys of February is practising together. The warmth of a shared room, the familiar faces, the sense of continuity — these things matter. They remind us that yoga is not just a personal journey but a communal one.
Thank you for showing up, for moving, breathing, laughing, and learning together. These small acts of presence create a steady thread through the year.
A Thought to Carry into March
Notice the small shifts.
The extra minute of daylight.
The way your breath feels a little fuller.
The strength that arrives quietly.
February teaches us that transformation doesn’t need to be loud. It just needs to be steady.
WELCOME TO JANUARY 2O26
The festive season now gently fades into memory — all the preparation, the shopping, the last-minute details that somehow carry us through December, only to be tucked away again until next year.
And then comes January.
A quiet beginning.
A soft reset.
January arrives not with fireworks, but with a calm exhale — the kind you feel at the end of a long, steady breath in class, when the body settles and the mind loosens its hold. After the brightness and bustle of December, this first month of the year offers space. Space to pause, to breathe, and to begin again.
You may hear January 19th described as “Blue Monday,” supposedly the most difficult day of the year. But it doesn’t have to be. We know how deeply uplifting yoga can be — how a single breath, a gentle movement, or a moment of stillness can shift everything.
This isn’t the loud “new year, new me” energy found on billboards and gym posters. January invites something quieter and more nourishing: a steadier pace, one that grows naturally and strengthens over time.
Despite its reputation for gloom, January is filled with small, beautiful signs of hope if we choose to notice them. The first snowdrops bravely appearing. Daylight stretching a little further each afternoon. The comfort of warm soups, soft scarves, and cosy evenings. And that subtle sense of possibility that comes with turning a fresh page.
A year is a long journey, and January simply asks us to look ahead with kindness and optimism.
In yoga, we speak of Sankalpa — a heartfelt intention. January is the perfect soil for planting such a seed. Not a long list of resolutions, but a single, meaningful direction — something gentle enough to stay with.
Perhaps: “I move with kindness.”
“I listen more deeply.”
“I honour my energy and make space for what nourishes me.”
These are not goals to chase, but qualities to live into.
And as the Reiki Principles remind us, “Just for today, I will…” If you stumble or forget one day, it truly doesn’t matter. That moment has passed, and tomorrow always offers a fresh beginning.
A new year unfolds before us now. May you welcome it with hope, intention, and compassion — for yourself and for others.
Happy New Year ✨
