After 20 years working for a children’s educational charity, I’m stepping into a new chapter.
That feels huge, because it has held such a big part of my life for so long.
When I first started in that world, we were reaching a few hundred children a year. Over time, that grew to more than 50,000, which still feels incredible when I stop and think about it. I feel really proud to have been part of that growth, and of the impact created through the programmes and partnerships built over the years.
Alongside all of this, yoga has been quietly shaping my life for years.
When I first trained to be a yoga teacher, I never expected to actually teach. I did it to deepen my own understanding of the practice. But over time, it became much more than something in the background.
Teaching over the last seven years has changed me more than I realised. Not just in how I move, but in how I think, how I respond, and how I show up in different parts of my life.
So this next step is about giving that side of my life more space.
Not fitting it in around everything else. Not squeezing it into the gaps. But allowing it to become a bigger part of my working life, and seeing where that leads.
It feels big. A bit strange. And not all straightforward.
There is still a lot I need to work out, and I know it will not all be smooth. But at the same time, it also feels like the start of something new. A chance to explore what this could become, and to build something in a way that feels more aligned.
If you have ever found yourself at a point of change, where something familiar is ending and something less certain is beginning, you might recognise that mix of emotions.
For now, I’m taking it one step at a time.
And seeing where it leads.
