Disclaimer: I wrote this straight after a hot yoga class, with the intention of turning it into a more polished article, then decided that it would be more honest to publish it unedited… If you are offended by swearing, you should probably stop reading now.

In the run-up to my maternity leave, knowing my time for writing would soon be limited, I drafted a blog post ready to refine and share after my baby was born. Except that was 18 months ago, and I’ve never posted it, because I got it so wrong. The draft article was called “What happens […] The post Navigating Life Transitions with Yoga appeared first on Jade Lizzie.| Jade Lizzie
As someone who has made Beeston their home, I’m always happy to see lovely new places opening up locally – restaurants, cafes, shops and most recently, a beautiful new pilates reformer studio – Elevated Pilates. I’ve been reformer-curious for a while, but never enough so to make the effort to get myself to a class.

At 38 weeks pregnant, I’ve just started maternity leave and the busyness that usually gives my world structure has subsided.

Now that the world has opened up again, I’ve found myself torn between so many competing demands. How am I going to fit everything in? Who haven’t I remembered to get in touch […] The post Coping with post-lockdown anxiety appeared first on Jade Lizzie.| Jade Lizzie
Things I wish I’d learned before I started teaching yoga It’s more than 6 years now since I qualified as a yoga teacher, and my relationship towards it has changed a lot in that time. For all those new yoga teachers, yoga teacher trainees or curious yoga students, I thought I’d share some of my […] The post Yoga teacher advice to my past self… appeared first on Jade Lizzie.| Jade Lizzie
Slightly different blog from me today, but as winter is my favourite time for hibernating with a good book or five, I thought I’d share a few recommendations. They’re not necessarily yoga-focused but most are at least leaning in that direction! I’ve linked to Amazon for ease and because I’m a Kindle fan, but obviously […] The post Five books to cosy up with this winter… appeared first on Jade Lizzie.| Jade Lizzie
Wow, what strange old times we’ve found ourselves in… I’ve got some time off work at the moment, and I’ve been quite hard on myself for not being creative enough with that time. I had all these ideas that I’d make yoga videos, try new recipes, write a book, learn a craft, plan my PhD […] The post Online Yoga to Help You Through Tough Times appeared first on Jade Lizzie.| Jade Lizzie
