I felt it for the first time yesterday; an edge of anxiety, a certain density in the atmosphere, the look on the faces of people on the streets – from Ladbroke Grove to Chelsea, from St James’ to Fitzrovia – the felt sense is summer’s over.

You know. That is what I have been teaching this week. Because, recently, I have seen people in my private practice and students who have been feeling like they don’t know… what to do, how to feel better, how to make a change, how to communicate with someone… etc. In fact, the anxious state of ‘I don’t know what to do!’ has been a common occurrence in my treatment room – and in my own life!

Welcome, Spring, and welcome sunshine! I keep having this sense that we Londoners are in a state of shock at how relieved we feel under the light of the sun. And we are all so hesitant; we want to revel in it, but not to get too attached to it in case it conceals itself behind clouds again!

Hey Beauties,

While London’s sun is busy teasing us with her late winter game of peek-a-boo, we yogis are busy on our mats and meditation cushions. This is a time of year that can seem so tedious, and if we don’t stay connected to our center, and to our practices, it is easy to feel a bit lost and weird. I remember when I was a kid, there was a comic strip that my parents had cut out of the newspaper and posted on their office wall. A large bird was seated at a desk, and was writing a definition of February: ‘The four month period between January and March….’ Late winter can be slow going, and it is a great time to practice keeping our eyes on that pale sun that shines up above, and to look inside to keep the inner light glowing twice as bright within!

I am writing to you by the shores of the Con Dao Islands, a tropical archipelago off the coast of Vietnam. I have come here both to reflect on all the amazing things that have come to pass in the past year, and to charge myself with energy for the exciting year to come. I have truly come to the right place.

It is my pleasure to send early November greetings to you all. November is the month of Thanksgiving in my home country, and, as such, it holds a special resonance for me. Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest, of abundance, and of community. It is an opportunity to speak your heartfelt gratitude – something my family goes ’round the table and offers each year. It is my favourite of the year’s holidays, not only because of it’s meaning, but because it is is the only time of year my entire family gathers and spends a few tranquil, hilarious days in one another’s company. Tears are welling up as I write this! I am so grateful to have such a vibrant and loving extended family.

Wow, the back to school vibe had people a little on the low side, huh? And that tube strike didn’t make the return-from-holiday work schlepp any easier. Thank goodness the rain and clouds have abated!
