musings with angie
Yoga, Retreats & Writing
my own muse
nspired by the courage, creativity and unapologetic self-portraiture of frida kahlo
i have spent much of my life looking outward for inspiration
for places
for people
for beauty
for something to tell me who i was
and then, slowly, the journey turned inward
i began to understand that the body itself is a landscape
that movement can tell a story
that a yoga practice can become a form of self-portraiture
that a woman can create from her own experience, her own sensuality, her own scars, her own strength
frida kahlo painted herself again and again
not because she had nothing else to paint
but because she understood that she was worthy of being the subject
so this is my own exploration of that idea
i am my own muse
yoga sequences photographed in beautiful places
stories told through the body
landscapes that become part of the practice
and words that emerge from the movement
written into scruffy diaries, where thoughts, stories and little pieces of life spill onto the page
a woman learning,
again and again,
to inhabit herself fully
not performing perfection
but embodying presence
not becoming someone else
but becoming more completely myself
I teach yoga and energy work based on b. k. s. iyengar's lineage,
using props to create a practice focused on alignment and inner exploration
this foundation offers safety and containment, helping the body relax
and your awareness to travel within the body
it is perfect for any age group and i include lots of remedial and restorative practises too
i honour the energetic bodying working with the chakras and tantric practises
of depth, rhythm and awareness
bowing to both the divine feminine below and divine masculine above.
i like to guide these two opposing energies towards balance at the heart centre, once there,
we continue an even a deeper journey inward of truth,
observation and self-discovery
my work integrates feminine embodiment, ritual and intuition
while remaining absolutley accessible for men and women

i’ve been hosting small, intimate retreats since my first retreat in Sevilla, Spain in 2006.
alongside my wonderful students, we’ve discovered amazing locations and met truly beautiful people.
over the years, these retreats have seamlessly integrated into our yoga practice and enriched our social, spiritual and cultural lives.
we cherish their memories and so many intimate and sacred moments together during these times.
each retreat has an accompanying playlist that always 'brings' us back to the energy and teachings of the retreat and these moments linger and inspire our practice.
we delve deep, focusing on a specific themes through guided manuals, study and reflection.
yoga retreats
bohemian musings
reflections on travel, love, family, tantra,
B.K.S. Iyengar and anything that truly moves me
To muse is to reflect, to wonder, let thoughts drift and unfold;
A muse is one who inspires, sparks curiosity and awakens creativity,
someone or something that evokes magic
i’ve had a daily ritual of writing since I was thirteen.
for me, writing has always been a way to move thoughts through
my mind, out of my head, down my arms, into the pen and
finally onto paper.
it has felt deeply therapeutic, like a form of self-therapy.
writing about lived experiences and feelings,
from depth and reflection and always from truth.
embracing the spirit of Bohemia
a lifestyle and mindset that values artistic freedom, curiosity
and living unconventionally. it is a space where rules are softer,
the pace is slower, imagination is sovereign
and life itself is your canvas for expression.
hoping you enjoy these glimpses into my thoughts.
