Yoga on the Nile. 🇪🇬 ⛵️🗺 Just a little hip opener flow. I’m working on my deep back bends and almost, almost have this foot-to-head splits. I’ll keep working on it! The whole look is by @varley. 🦁 ⇉ It’s not perfect by any means (can we spot the camera tilt? The post-salad belly bloat?) and I was quite cold (it’s chilly here!). But that’s ok. Getting out there and moving is what counts. ⇉ #egypt #nile #visitegyypt #gltlove #egypttravel #egyptboattrip #travelista #fashionegypt #luxor #yoga #yogaflow #yogavideo #yogatutorial #yogaeverydamnday #yogacutie #dubaiyogi #yogistyle

Arm balances and feminism and too saucy yoga. Here we go! ⇉ I went back and forth on this post - or specifically, the cover photo. What if someone thought I was being too sensual? What if they accused me of sexualising yoga? ⇉ Then two things happened. First, one of my fav yoga accounts at the moment, @inflexibleyogis, did a great post with two yogi masters and a woman. All upside down. All dressed in simple, minimal clothing. Why, she asked, was only the woman the one who was accused of not wearing enough. Would you say those things to the men? Why the shaming? “We all hear those things, right? By people who internalise the patriarchy so bad they can’t look at a woman without thinking about...” ⇉ Second, another of my fav accounts, @sorelleamore, worked through a bunch of advanced selfies. Some were moody. Some dark. And some, yes, sensual. I’m connecting with my female side, she said with a laugh. It was strong. Powerful. Human. ⇉ So here we are. An essay that not many of us will read but I need to write. I’m still figuring out my brand of feminism, but I do know this: I love bodies. There is strength in us. I love lines and light. Art. And also, I love girl power. Women power. Let’s focus on supporting each other, celebrating each other, for our differences and similarities and all of it alike. #womenempowerwomen ⇉ But also. Flow inspired by @gypsyfitdxb. Song cover @jamesvmcmorrow. Destination Zanzibar with @moceantribe in @flexxfit. Still reading?

Tag that friend who always makes you laugh on holiday. Inspired by the epic folks at @inflexibleyogis, who are seriously helping my practice so much these days. With @hima.____ @gypsyfitdxb @kirsteenthain being all things silly. ⇉ Here with @moceantribe in Zanzibar. It’s pretty amazing. ⇉ #yoga #yogis #squad #zanzibar #tanzania #inflexibleyogis #yogaeverydamnday #gltlove #travelista #dametraveler #yogagirls #visitzanzibar
Skin. One of the things I’ve been exploring in 2018 is skincare. Enter PRP, or the vampire facial, done here with the incredible team at @lcasplasticsurgery (whom I go to for all things beauty - especially more advanced facials. Be safe!). ⇉ So PRP became big news a few years ago when @kimkardashian posted a pic of her bloodied face. It looked quite gruesome - but it’s not. The main needle isn’t even used on your skin. It just drips your plasma mixed with serum while a machine creates tiny little holes. If you’ve done microdermabrasion, it felt somewhat similar. ⇉ Swipe through to see my journey. Certainly not the most flattering shots of me so... 😂🙈🤷‍♀️ I think PRP, like facials, has to be done quite frequently to get that real steady glow. It’s been a few months now and I really do plan on doing it again. But also, suncream! ⇉ Feel free to DM me with any questions. Happy to answer. ⇸ Still in Zanzibar with @moceantribe. #beauty #skincare #dubaibeauty #prp #vampirefacial #beautyreview #skincareroutine #zanzibar #tanzania #africa
