Hi, I'm Carolyn.
I used to live in spirals of stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Mothering and working days felt relentless with little time for myself. I literally woke up each day with my hands clenched and jaw aching. I recognised I had to make a change to focus on wellbeing before burnout fully took hold.
Discovering yoga, and gradually slowing down into softer practices of Restorative Yoga, mindfulness and meditation, have all helped me to learn ways to work with feelings, instead of always pushing them away, to befriend my mind, and live in a more aligned way to what feels important to me.
I'm not perfect (or trying to be) but now generally feel more at home in my body-mind - and It's a grounding place to be. I feel more attuned to monthly energy needs (hello Perimenopause!), and adaptable to ride the ups and downs of life with a touch more ease too. I love sharing these practices, and their wisdom, to support other women to re-discover their capacity to re-connect, feel resilient, and value the power of rest.
I am a Children's Yoga Teacher too, because kids mental health matters. I support children by sharing nurturing and playful yoga in Bristol primary schools. If you are interested in learning to share Children's Yoga and Mindfulness, join me and Tash Neely of The Calm Club here: Children’s Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher Training 2025
Thank you for being here, and for being you.
With love,
Carolyn.
