Owning our story is not always easy and yet it makes us who we are. Thanks to the Daily Mail and journalist Sam Brick for writing such a beautiful account of the reason I began yoga, the source of inspiration for LFR and how, I now do what I love everyday

I’m not sure what these flowers are, but I love them. I bought them at the Sunday market as they stood out and just looked so happy and sunny. . I’m having a tidy up in the garden, as well as the house, which feels like the theme of my summer. . Out with the old to create space for something new. The grand declutter continues! . But it’s working and it’s amazing how quickly you can feel different in the same space when you change the things around you. . . #poeticsofspace #gardening #inmygarden #geographyofthehome #mytinyatlas #theartofslowliving #spaceclearing #plantlove #change #raiseyourvibrations #createandcultivate #space #yogalife #echinaceaparadoxa
