Gift giving can be a tricky process, especially before the holidays when we have so many people to buy for. I worry that I’ll buy something that my friend/family member may not like or already have. But if we can buy gifts from local and/or small companies, it has a positive effect for everyone. These […]
Arriving in the ski resort of Levi, Finland was such a contrast to visiting the Alps in the past. In under half an hour, a bus drive from Kittila airport gets you to the resort of Levi. No climbing steep mountains with hair pin bends as the Levi ski resort is on a fell that […]
We love doing challenges and we love running. The December Daily Dash is a bigger challenge that it appears. Why? You challenge yourself to run 5K every day in December (even Christmas day!) It’s in December in the UK and it’s 31 chillier days To fit it in, you may find yourself running in the […]
Elite athletes yoga to local cross country race in 30 minutes Earlier this year I, Tim, completed the “Yoga for Athletes” course, as part of my ongoing learning and development as a yoga teacher.

2020 – the year of online yoga and at-home workouts A year ago, yoga classes looked very different.

Now, in December 2020, we […]
Get fit for skiing– when we can finally go! “I’m too busy doing my main sport to find time to do yoga”. This is often the response I get from people when I say that I am a yoga teacher – though it seems that increasingly people are finding ways to include yoga into their […]

Child’s Pose – time to take a rest However long (or short) amount of time you have been practicing yoga, it is more than likely you will need to come into child’s pose. Often when beginners start yoga, it may be that they feel the need to come into Child’s pose more often – if […]
First online yoga class of 2021 completed It’s great to be back…and I loved teaching this morning’s 7.30am vinyasa flow class. Hope 2021 proves to be a ‘better’ year for us all – one thing is for sure, there will be more adapting to the situation ahead. Maybe it will be better as we get […]

There’s is so much more to running than running… There’s so many things to love about this photo (and a few that are less good)….you’ll have to scroll down to see the full photo. (I’d love to think this was a cunning marketing ploy for people to stay on the page more – but unfortunately […]
Yoga courses online – a less obvious route Offering yoga classes online and partnership marketing isn’t perhaps the first thing you think of as yoga teachers. (I know it’s taken us time to work it out). One of the benefits of recording our yoga classes is that we can now make them available to people […]
Yoga classes with long Covid What felt like the world’s longest winter is finally coming to an end, and we are allowing ourselves a few moments of quiet optimism here at YogaTonic UK HQ. With schools opening their gates once more to all children (it is eerily silent at home, no?) and Spring in the […]
Yoga online and missed anniversaries We almost forgot our first anniversary this week…. Rather like our first wedding anniversary the important milestone almost passed without either of us noticing until someone reminded us. (Please note we both forgot – on both occasions – much to my relief). On March 15th 2020 we streamed our first online yoga class […]
