Goddess Roots Soup — warming and balancing as the season turns.

by Julia K | Sep 14, 2025 | Healthy Living & Longevity, Healthy Living Recipes

Over the years, YOGA has taught me the importance Over the years, YOGA has taught me the importance of slowing down — not just on the mat, but in life itself.
It helped me recognise that I need SPACE, SOFTNESS and PRESENCE — and that it’s perfectly okay not to fill every day with doing.

Our week in Madeira was a beautiful reminder of that.
We didn’t plan every moment or rush from one adventure 2 another. We walked the levadas, other days we simply stayed close — swimming at sunrise, breathing in mountain air, tasting local food, watching the world unfold quietly around us.

We realised how nourishing it felt not to chase experiences, but to truly inhabit them.
By not travelling far, we arrived more deeply — to each place, to each other, to ourselves.
And that simplicity brought a kind of ease and connection that no itinerary ever could.

Now, as the holiday gently fades into memory, I’m reminded of impermanence — the quiet truth that everything changes.
That the beauty of each moment lies in its passing — and our capacity to be fully there while it lasts.

IMPERMANENCE can be unsettling.
We like what’s familiar, what stays.
But yoga teaches that change is not something to resist — it’s an invitation to grow, to soften, to trust.
Impermanence, non-attachment, and union are woven together, guiding us back to presence again and again.

So as we return to daily life — work, routines, cooler mornings — I hold these moments close, not to cling to them, but to HONOUR them.
To remember that life itself is sacred precisely because it’s always changing.

✨ If you’d like to move, breathe, and reconnect with this awareness, join me for upcoming AUTUMN 🍂 Embodied Yoga Practices:

🌙 Wednesdays 18:30 — Evening Harmony
A grounding practice blending movement, strength, breathwork to support balance and warmth in Autumn.

🌤 Sundays 10:00 — Gentle Yoga
A slower, nurturing flow inviting quietness and awareness into the body/mind — a time for softness and true care.

Together, we’ll explore how to stay present within change, to move with life’s rhythm, and to embrace impermanence with an open heart. 💫

What a day that has been… super early and magica What a day that has been… super early and magical. ✨

Every sunrise 🌄🌅 is a daily miracle — the same act, yet never the same feeling.

This morning, at 1820 meters above Madeira, the world seemed to hold its breath as light broke through the clouds at Pico do Arieiro.

A reminder that beginnings can still take our breath away — even in their daily recurrence. Each one feels different, just as life itself does…

A reflection of what I teach — that presence turns even the ordinary into the extraordinary.

And, every moment holds the power to transform us, if we let it. ✨

Back to teach on Tuesday morning online and, Wednesday evening in the studio. 🙏😊✨

✨ A weekend to remember ✨ From the rolling tr ✨ A weekend to remember ✨

From the rolling trails of Longshaw Estate to the rugged beauty of Burbage Rocks and Surprise View, every step felt like a gift. 17 miles across two days, fueled by laughter, good food, a little yoga, and the best company.

Walking isn’t just about strengthening muscles or boosting fitness — it lowers stress, lifts your mood, clears the mind, and reconnects you with what truly matters. You might already know that…. but a great reminder to keep moving, exploring outdoors in Autumn. 🍂 Fresh air, open skies, and community are the best kind of therapy.

With NB Rambles @north_beds_ramblers at the Peak District — not our first adventure, and certainly not the last. Here’s to nature, movement, and moments that fill the soul. 🌿🥾💛

🍂 How about you? How was your weekend — did you get out walking? And where will your next adventure it take you?
