Meet Alexandra Grimshaw!

Dancer, yoga teacher and owner of a The Ealing Pole Dancing school in London UK.

I really wanted to talk to Alex about how she is maintaining her business and keeping her students engaged during the Covid-19 pandemic. She is very open about her experiences as a business owner and goes into detail about the highs and the lows that working for yourself can bring.

I left this call with Alex feeling fired up to be proactive, pragmatic and above all joyful about the way I make my money!

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

Meet Jess, yoga teacher and woodland fairy (this will make sense when you hear the podcast)

At the time of recording this conversation we were 2 weeks into UK quarantine due to the Corona virus pandemic. Jess and I chat about this, and how the tools of yoga can help us embrace lifes little ups and downs!

Oh yes, here are Jess’s 5 ways to survive isolation and staying at home for long periods of time.

1 - Establish a gentle routine (not too strict)

2 - Connect with the natural world

3 - Turn off all screens (Fubbing, again this will become clear when you listen))

4 - Take time to yourself and schedule in chats with friends and family

5 - Rest and please don't feel guilty about slowing down if you are able.

Jess and I hope you love the conversation as much as we did! It definitely cheered me right up :)

Hiya Folks!

This is another solo episode of Elevated Elephant, I hope you don’t mind! 

I was asked by a listener to talk about how pregnancy can change a well established yoga practise, Including the good the bad and the confusing.

I’m speaking from my own personal experiences of pregnancy and practise so some things will resonate and others won’t, but thats the way it goes..

I hope that this 30 minute chat helps you fall in love with your new body and new yoga practise!

Jai Maa

Little snap shot of the yoga meet-up Q&A

We often hear our yoga teachers encourage us to 'let go' but how do we actually achieve this and how can yoga help us on our way to letting go?

In this episode I do my best to give practical tips and tools to help you on your path to letting go.
