"I love getting this mail every Friday. You really must write more/blog more. It's enchanting and informative every time"
This blog gives a view of yoga from a student’s point of view. That’s me! I have been teaching since 2012 but always a student. I love being part of the yoga world and continually learning. I write about the top teachers, the yoga shows and festivals, the studios and workshops, and the promise of yoga’s self discovery. In this blog I include retreat information, workshop recommendations and Yoga In The News.
I’ve been thinking about eyesight recently. Lots of people who are working from home are doing more sitting and, potentially, hunching over a keyboard and it isn’t just the back that is complaining.

Yoga to enjoy! Good Times Yoga!
I always read your emails and am uplifted, this one I had to recognise as very special.
“So enjoyed Tuesday’s stretchy session – such a good way to end the day – thank you 😊”
“Yoga is so misunderstood and you gave me the insight to interpret myself and give me more self understanding. Some might say ‘peace'“.
“I love your Friday email, it is really uplifting!”
“I look forward to reading your email, always a font of knowledge and food for thought. Just wanted to thank you for the thought you put into our classes and Friday newsletter.”
“Just read your email and, as usual, it’s lifted my spirits as well as acted as a reminder to take care of myself too. ”
Please leave a message here if you would like to share your Good Times Yoga experience.
