Forged in Fire & Ice: The Voyage Begins

While much of the world was slowing down over the festive period, I’ve been deep in the studio, submerged in the work of bringing Wave Wellness to life.
I’ve been filming the final Submerge Yin Yoga sessions, recording the Seafaring journalling sessions and reviewing the Crest Mat Pilates and Surge Power Vinyasa Yoga content I filmed last month. I've also been refining some technical Wavelet workshops to give you further insight into some of the asanas (poses).
I've also had a lot of fun with the high energy Plunge (15 min fitness mat pilates) and Splash (5 minute bursts) channel creations. I'm so excited to launch and continue creating classes for you to encourage you to work at your edge and be uplifted.
It has been a balancing act between the hard work of the technical grit of building everything in the background and the soulful intention of creating a space where you can "true up" to be your best and authentic self.
I’ve spent months focused on the details, the ocean themes, the cues, the rhythm of the breath, to ensure that when you step onto the mat with me, the experience connects you deeply to your body and supports you in your movement and life experiences.
The Spark in the Ice
As I prepare to open the doors on the 6th January, my mind keeps drifting back to a volcanic landscape in Iceland where I trained with Baron Baptiste on 2 different occasions. Baron Baptiste is known worldwide as a transformational leader in yoga and personal development. He created Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga in the 90's, the style I teach in my Surge classes.
Iceland is a place of raw, unyielding transition. One moment you are standing on an ancient rock with the wind whistling round your ears; the next, you are feeling the thermal heat of the earth beneath your car tyres as you cross a recently erupted lava flow! It was there, in that space between the fire and the ice, that the spark for Wave Wellness was lit.
I learned that to truly inhabit your life, you have to be willing to leave the safe shore behind, trust yourself and go for it!
When your alignment is true and your breath is steady, you don't have to fear the open water. You stop bracing against the waves and start moving with them. You begin to understand that you are not just a passenger on this voyage, you are the navigator.
An Invitation to Sea Kin Cove
This voyage was never meant to be taken alone. When you join Wave Wellness, you join a community, you become a member of "Sea Kin Cove". A community around you, based around a private online group page, to help you through your practices, to lift you up and be a steady presence and community harbour. I will be dropping in on the group to answer questions and provide any support and guidance that you need.
On January 6th, the membership options go live.
