Hello beautiful ones,

June was a truly beautiful month. We gathered to honour the solstice, dancing barefoot around the fire on the beach, (see photo above)...wrapped in golden light and laughter. As you know, I love celebrating the turning of the wheel — these sacred seasonal moments that invite us to pause, to remember, to feel. And here we are now… halfway through the year. Can you believe it?

I find this midpoint often brings a quiet call to reflect. What have we let go of? What have we embraced? What are we learning as we walk through this year, day by day?

For me, July is my birthday month, and it always brings with it a certain melancholy. I feel the absence of those I’ve loved and lost more strongly at this time of year. I especially miss my stepfather who would cook the most beautiful food and celebrate life to the full. It’s made me feel quite sad this past week. But I’m learning — always learning — that the sadness is part of the whole. That to live fully, we must allow ourselves to feel it all. Yoga helps. It always helps.

On Sunday I taught a class where three generations of one family came together on the mat — such a beautiful reminder of the power of practice to connect us through time, through breath, through love.

July also marks the beginning of festival season for me, and I’m so looking forward to it. I get to share yoga, massages , and my handmade clothing and sacred oils. I get to dance, and laugh, and be in open fields with my daughter — there’s such a sense of freedom there, a loosening of the usual threads that bind. I love that sense of freedom that you get when you are fully immersed in nature.

June held some stresses, too — the car I just bought which was just out of warranty had a major engine fault, and a dear friend’s mother is at the edge of life. These things can easily knock us off our centre. But this is why we practice — yoga, meditation, rest — to return home to ourselves again and again.

I have two classes to choose from for the summer that are outdoors.

Theres an evening class at the beautiful Babbacombe Downs which has a gorgeous vista over the bay at 7 pm on Tuesday evenings and on Wednesday mornings I share yoga at 7 am at meadfoot beach at the huts and then I teach an online class where we really slow down and practice restorative yoga on Wednesdays at 7.30 pm - if you haven't tried this class before I'm offering a class for free for you to taste how it is to really slow down and Rest, pause and be, just get in touch and I'll send you the details. Each week there is a different theme where I follow the cycles of life I would love to see you on the mat.

My classes from July will be going up to £9 - £7 for restorative. I have kept my classes at the same price for the last four years - if you are struggling to get to a class due to finances , please do get in touch.

These classes are soft, soulful spaces where we move gently, breathe deeply, and come back to ourselves.

I have been asked by various people that they would love to dance around the fire again so I have created something new for August to celebrate Lammas again another turning of the wheel to celebrate the harvest of life.

I’d love to invite you to a beautiful Lammas Cacao Ritual — a gentle yoga and dance ceremony held at sunset, to honour the fullness of summer before we slowly begin our descent toward autumn. Lammas reminds us to gather what is ripe, to be grateful for the harvest of our lives — even the quiet, unseen parts. Think beautiful Mandala, candles, fire, cacao and dancing with ritual and sound healing it will be super yummy and you can book now. Dancing is so good for our soul.

✨ Lammas Cacao, Yoga & Dance Ritual✨

Friday, August 2nd – 7:30 - 9.30 pm You can book online - www.nurturebynina.co.uk

I’m also continuing to offer my deeply nourishing holistic massage treatments — in a beautiful Balinese-inspired space, with handmade oils, sound healing, and rest woven through. In these uncertain and often crazy times, taking time to receive, to be held, to care for yourself… it’s not indulgent, it’s essential.

Here's a poem to encompass July's sweet vibes

The fruit is full upon the tree,

The bees are slow with golden sleep,

The sun hangs heavy in the sky,

And still, the soul begins to seek.

Halfway here, and halfway gone,

We stand in light and feel the weight,

Of joy, of grief, of all that lives —

The pulse of now, the pull of fate.

So let us gather, breathe, and be,

Let us dance, and sip, and sing —

Before the wheat is cut and turned,
