This is not New Year yoga.
It’s coming home to yourself yoga.
A steady, somatic practice designed to help you land back in your body after the intensity of December, the cold and dark of January where the body knows it’s still deep Winter despite the noise of “new year, new you.”
These classes are slow, embodied and responsive
shaped to your body, your nervous system, your lived experience with props, modifications and adaptions offered.
We move in a way that listens, rather than pushes.
Rooted in somatic yoga and Yoga Nidra, this work supports:
• Nervous system regulation
• Reduced stress and cortisol
• Better sleep and deeper rest
• Rebuilding trust with your body
• Feeling more grounded, present and resourced
Classes take place in a beautiful, mirror-free studio surrounded by nature with small groups, no pretence, and space to be exactly as you are.
This is yoga for:
✨people who are tired of striving
✨bodies that need gentleness and honesty
✨those craving steadiness, not transformation
We’ll close the block with an extended sessions with homemake cake, herbal teas and soul chats around the fire pit because embodiment also means pleasure, joy and community 🍰
January doesn’t ask us to begin again. Winter is already harsh, we don’t need to be harsh on ourselves.
Bookings now open

Yoga Nidra is not just “deep rest.” It’s one of the most effective practices we have for nervous system regulation, especially in midwinter - which January very much still is!
When practised consistently, Yoga Nidra can:
• activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest + repair)
• reduce cortisol and chronic stress
• improve sleep and emotional regulation
• support mental health during low light + high fatigue
• gently move the brain out of fight/flight and into safety
At this time of year, many of us are living in a quiet stress response; tired but wired, flat, anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally tender.
Yoga Nidra meets the body below thought, offering a kind of rest that talking, analysing, or trying harder can’t reach. That’s why it’s so powerful in January, when willpower is low and the need for gentleness is high.
This 4-week January Yoga Nidra series honours our true winter rhythm.
Beginning on Little Women’s Christmas (honouring women’s magic and much needed rest!), each week includes a short seasonal teaching (woven with folklore + nature wisdom) alongside accessible nervous system practices informed by polyvagal theory, neurobiology & psychophysiology, followed by a fully guided Yoga Nidra to support:
• deep rest & emotional digestion
• relief from overwhelm and mental fatigue
• rebuilding inner reserves
• gentle preparation for Imbolc and the return of light
Think of it as being carried through one of the hardest months of the year, rather than surviving it.
This is for you if:
January feels heavy
your sleep feels off
your nervous system feels dysregulated
you’re done with “New Year, new you” energy
you want to arrive at Imbolc softer, steadier, and more resourced
You don’t need fixing. You don’t need goals.
You don’t need to push. You need warmth.
Consistency. A place to land.
This is that place. Comment “RESET” below and I’ll send the info straight to you or you can find it in all the usual place but please remember there’s only 24 hours to sign up before we begin 💆🏽♀️
An old festival that finally admits that Women are the real magic of Christmas.
Not the lights.
Not the gifts.
Not the stories wrapped in tinsel and nostalgia.
The real magic is quieter than that. More woman powered.
It is the feeding.
The remembering.
The pacing of time.
The holding of warmth when the nights are longest.
The emotional labour of making sure everyone’s having a nice time.
In Ireland, this truth was acknowledged through Nollaig na mBan, Little Christmas.
Held on from the evening of January 5th through the 6th of January, it marks the end of the 12 Days of Christmas (if you take them from Christmas Day) and the Feast of Epiphany a day of recognition and revelation. While the sacred child is finally seen by the world in Christian mythology, the women who carried the season step out of service and into rest.
From a feminist folklore perspective, this tradition is quietly radical. It does not dismantle the system but does expose it. By giving women one sanctioned day of rest, culture admits what it already knows: Christmas did not happen without women’s labour. Food did not appear by magic.
Rituals were not remembered by accident. Warmth did not hold itself.
Women were the infrastructure of the season.
Folklore rarely shouts. It whispers through candles, reversals, and small, powerful pauses.
That is why Little Women’s Christmas still matters. In a world starved of ritual, it reminds us how humans have always marked time, not only with dates, but with recognition, rest, and meaning.
A closing ritual.
A threshold.
A blessing for the women who carried us through the dark.

Music by my soul sis and fellow ritual lover
I’ve been letting myself soften into the long dark, and within this thin passage of time, there have been so many glimmers.
📷 1 -3: In old folk traditions, the Sacred Nights were a time to feast, gather, and keep the hearth warm. Food as spellwork. Tables as altars. Honouring the old. Quietly anticipating the new. We honoured this through Winter Solstice supper clubs. Erin’s pop ups are seasonal, reverent, deeply listening to the land with cooking that feels like a story in an old remembered language.
Decorating Mother of the Woods Retreat is a ritual close to my heart; the whole space is an altar of devotion. An offering to the living world that says we see you, we honour you, we are still in relationship. Beauty is a form of prayer, a way the soul touches the world with care. Evergreens, candles, small glimmers placed gently into the dark. This is how we bless a space. This is how we tend the unseen.
📷 4 & 5: Winter yoga and candlelit Yoga Nidra offered true rest, a collective exhale and a final yoga and cake night with my moss covered Yule log!
📷 6 - 9: Midwinter birthdays at home and at 2 of our favourite restaurants. Thanks to the friends that show up for your often forgotten December ♐️ friends. And to all my loves who have carried me through this last year, thank you. I love you.
📷 10: Across the Twelve Sacred Nights, thousands joined from around the world, burning intentions and releasing the year into fire. 🕯️
📷 11 & 12: At my Winter Solstice ceremony we shared cacao, stories, books, laughter, fire and intention
📷 13 - 15: When the power cut on the solstice, we honoured the darkness properly, by candle and firelight with good friends and tarot cards.
This is why we mark midwinter: to pause at the thinnest passage of time, to feast, to gather, and to remember that even in the deepest dark, something golden is quietly returning. More in part 2 including the lowlights for balance. ✨

It isn’t a trumpet call to start again.
It’s not even a natural threshold.
The Gregorian New Year; Dec 31st / Jan 1st doesn’t follow the rhythms of the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, or the body.
It’s a date, not a season.
We’re still in the depths of midwinter.
The dark still holds us in her weighted blankets.
The land is resting.
The seeds are still dreaming, not striving, not breaking through… not yet.
If you’re setting goals and feeling bright with momentum, I celebrate you.
If you’re holding close to what’s steady, familiar, and good, I celebrate you.
If you’re carrying grief, endings, or a quiet ache that refuses to dissolve at midnight, I feel you.
A year is not a clean line. It’s not a silver-screen highlight reel. It’s a braid of moments: wins and losses, blooming and breaking, movement and deep stillness.
In the old Celtic calendar, the year begins in Nov at Samhain, in the dark, where all things are born.
The Earth is still deep in midwinter now.
The light doesn’t truly begin to return until Imbolc, at the end of January / beginning of February.
Across cultures, “New Year” arrives later:
Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tibetan New Years fall between late January and February.
The Persian New Year comes at the Spring Equinox in March when life is visibly stirring again.
So if you’re not feeling the call to do, decide, or change yet, you’re not behind.
If your “year in review” includes loss, grief, or growth that hurt or if it never really got going, or didn’t turn out how you’d dreamed, you are not alone. I celebrate that you’re still here, still trying.
Please don’t measure your inner world against someone else’s highlight reel.
Winter does not rush. You don’t have to either.
Let her keep you inward and dreaming, restoring and recharging, in a space where nothing needs proving.
This is the time for listening.
This is the time for wintering.
This is the time for remembering and the ancient rhythm and wisdom beneath the clock.
The calendar might say new but the earth and your body says not yet. It’s ok to listen to that. #newyear
Jólabókaflóð is a modern Icelandic tradition, shaped by 20th-century history, but it rests on much older Northern European winter hearth culture, where stories, long nights, and shared reading mattered deeply.
Ritual: On Christmas Eve, books are given as gifts. They are unwrapped and the rest of the evening is spent quietly reading together by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate as the dark gathers outside.
This ritual is not ancient folklore, but it is deeply rooted:
in the hearth,
in the sacred nights,
in the belief that stories are sustenance.
Before writing or law, we had story. A way to remember who we were, how to live, and how to belong. Story was our first technology for survival.
Neurologically, story is how the human mind makes meaning. We don’t remember isolated facts, we remember narrative. Rhythm, character, and cause-and-effect help the brain organise experience into coherence.
In winter, stories mattered even more. Gathered around the crackling fire, listening together, bodies softened. Breath slowed. Attention settled. A shared story told the nervous system: you are safe, you are not alone.
This is why stories endure. Not as entertainment, but as deep nourishment.
If you’re following along the 12 Sacred Nights of Yule ritual, tonight is night 5, the story night. Time to get cosy with a book and a little peace and quiet, even if just for 10 minutes or so!
Let me know in the comments if you already do this tradition or whether you’re going to take it up this year 😍
Happy Christmas Eve everyone. May this be your reminder that the “stuff” doesn’t matter but your presence does.

On Saturday 20th we enter Mōdraniht “Mother’s Night” — an ancient Northern European vigil observed on the eve of the Winter Solstice, dedicated to the divine feminine, ancestry, and the liminal threshold of time itself.
Mother’s Night is both cosmology and psychology, a night of suspended time when the sun has not yet returned and the world pauses in gestation. In pre-Christian Northern Europe, this night was the ritual womb of the year: a moment of attentive stillness, where creation was understood to emerge not from illumination but from the dark, fertile, hidden void.
The Mothers known as the Disir, Norns, fate-weavers, or ancestral women govern the unseen rhythms of life and time. Across Eurasian and circumpolar traditions, figures like the Deer Mother, Saule, or Beiwe carried the winter sun through the night, sustaining it until the light could rise again. Light, in these mythologies, is fragile and dependent, not triumphant, a child cradled by the vigilant Mothers.
Modernity has obscured this wisdom. Darkness is feared, winter is overcome, and rest is undervalued. Mother’s Night restores an older epistemology: that gestation, quiet, and patience are not inert but profoundly generative. To honor this night is to recognize the intelligence of pause, the necessity of waiting, and the sacred potency of the unseen.
✨ Contemplation: Sit in darkness and stillness on Winter Solstice eve. Consider what is quietly being nurtured in your life’s hidden depths. What requires the slow, careful tending of darkness before it can emerge into the light?
#WinterSolstice #MothersNight #Mōdraniht #DivineFeminine #midwinterritual
The stretch of nights between Winter Solstice and the turning of the new year have long been regarded as time outside of ordinary time. Across pre-Christian Europe, these nights were understood as a deeply liminal, divinatory threshold where the veil between worlds thinned, the dead were believed to draw near, and dreams and omens were carefully observed.
Known as the Sacred Nights, the Omen Days, or Rauhnächte (“smoke nights”), these twelve nights appear across Celtic, Germanic, Norse, Baltic, and Alpine folklore. Fires were kept burning, herbs and incense were used for cleansing, work was slowed or forbidden, and attention turned toward the unseen. What was dreamed, sensed, or revealed during this time was believed to echo forward, shaping the year ahead.
These nights were mystical because they were intercalary days; days that existed between systems of time. Originally the human calendar was organised around the moon, holding thirteen lunar months. When the solar calendar later came into use, a number of days no longer fit neatly into the year. These uncounted for days belonged neither to the old year nor the new, and so they were associated with ancestors, spirits, fate, and the wandering forces of winter.
In this 12 Sacred Nights of Yule ritual, each night becomes both omen and offering. Night by night, enter the ancient dream-cave of winter and remember a way of orienting yourself through darkness, uncertainty, and change just like your ancestors once did. Through fire, rest, ritual, and observation, we listen for what is quietly forming beneath the surface of the coming year.

You’re simply life, experiencing its natural seasons.
Humans are seasonal beings.
Every cell in your body listens to light.
As the days shorten, your biology shifts:
Melatonin rises earlier → you get tired sooner
Your circadian rhythm lengthens → your body expects more sleep
Cortisol lowers → your nervous system softens
Metabolism slows → energy is conserved
Hormones recalibrate → deeper balance + repair
Immune function strengthens with longer nights
Winter is a biological restoration season.
But the world pushes us to stay bright and busy all year, which is why we feel exhausted or “not ourselves” in the darker months. We’re fighting a rhythm older than language.
When we allow winter to happen in us, things shift:
✨ Sleep deepens
✨ Anxiety softens
✨ Creativity returns
✨ Intuition awakens
✨ The body heals
Our ancestors knew this. Winter was the season of visioning, dreaming, divination and tending the inner fire. Rest wasn’t (and isn’t) passive, it was a spiritual and physical necessity.
Rest is not laziness.
Rest is medicine.
Rest is healing.
Rest is ancestral connection.
Rest is the antidote to productivity culture
Rest is how you prepare for what’s coming next.
If you feel tired… good. Your body is in conversation with the earth.
