A Week in Cornwall: Slowing Down, Coming Back to Centre

Last week, I took a break and headed to Cornwall for a few days of rest and reconnection. I spent time with my parents, wandered along the coastline, and visited the Eden Project—a much-needed step back from the usual rhythm.

While at the Eden Project, I came across a simple but powerful reminder:

“We are intimately connected to the world. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat are constantly exchanging with the world around us".

That line stayed with me. We’re not separate from nature—we are nature. Just like the landscape around us, we’re constantly shifting, adapting, and responding.

Yoga and movement mirror this same process. Through breath and posture, we transition from one shape to the next. Even when we pause, there’s something alive in the stillness—awareness, sensation, the quiet pulse of breath.

The time away reminded me that rest isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of the whole. These quieter moments allow us to soften, process, and come back to centre.

With the bank holiday weekend ahead, maybe there’s space for you to slow down too. It doesn’t have to be dramatic—a walk, a quiet cuppa, five minutes to stretch or breathe can be enough to reset.

Sometimes stepping away from routine is the most useful thing we can do.


With everything going on in the world, it feels more important than ever to take care of our inner landscape.

A Practice for Rest

If you’re looking for a little more support to wind down, I’ve shared a 40-minute Yoga Nidra recording from our Sound and Stillness evening.

Yoga Nidra is a deeply restful practice where you lie down and are guided through a meditative body scan. It’s like a bridge between wakefulness and sleep—an invitation to let go without effort.

You don’t need any experience, just a quiet place to rest.

If you enjoyed the practice and want to explore more—whether that’s therapeutic yoga, breathwork, or one-to-one support—feel free to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.

Take care,
