In my happy place. Left the builders behind and ran to the hills. Made the most of a dry, clear evening to reach this summit and was treated to an incredible panorama. "That hill is like a bowl of light!" said my 10 year old. "We are not climbing any more mountains this holiday!" said my 6 year old. Hmm, we'll see! #beinnnalap #corrour #scotland #runtothehills #nofilter #lucymaresh

Spot the Difference? Some 'Then & Now' pictures of our home and yoga space in Shilbottle. One of the first things we did back in 2009 was install photo voltaic solar panels across the roof. In 2013 we undertook a big project to unite the plumbing and central heating systems, create the yoga studio and install the underfloor heating. Since February 2015 our guest room has been available through Airbnb and as a result we have met many fabulous and interesting travelers and yogis and received lots of lovely reviews. This year our biggest project yet is underway with an extension on the back of the house. The new rooms are being built on the same footprint as our old coal sheds so in fact the building is not getting a large amount bigger, but there will just be more usable space - and we've even been able to recycle the bricks! In 2020 we will have three bedrooms available for retreat guests, a new kitchen and dining area, a downstairs loo and shower and a utility/workshop space for laundry and, for example, rocket-building (we have home educated children!!!) We are thinking fondly of all the people who have supported us in creating our home and business here in Shilbottle #aspacetobeyogaretreat #lucymaresh #yoga #massage #relaxation #retreat #shilbottle #northumberland #ne66

A down-dog a day keeps tight hamstrings at bay... * I'm taking a break from teaching yoga this month but have a fabulous workshop planned for Saturday 31st August. Three weeks today. Link in bio if you'd like to check it out. #yoga #lucymaresh #shilbottle #northumberland #downdog #downwardfacingdog #adhomukhasvanasana

Our view at the start of August - can't be long now until the peas are harvested. Behind this view our extension is now well underway and so we are closing for the rest of the month and most of September too. I'm teaching some workshops at the community hall on 31 August but otherwise have some time off to enjoy with my family and go exploring in our van. I'll be honest, living in Northumberland, it's hard to find other places worth traveling to but I hope our old van can make it up to Oban and from there the Outer Hebrides. Before that I need to totally clear out my kitchen and make space for the fridge and a basic cooking area somewhere else. Washing up I think may have to happen in the bath. Eek. All the more reason for camping this summer. Any other top tips for surviving the builders? #august #lammas #northumberland #shilbottle #aspacetobeyogaretreat

Continuing my practice of marking the seasons by making labyrinth journeys on the beach. This week is Lammas, also known as Lughnasa, half way between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox. It marks the beginning of harvest season and my very favourite time of year. I created the labyrinth this week with my children and their 'beach school' friends. It was less a meditative walk and more of a race against tide, which I once again misjudged! The kids had lovely ideas about how to make the labyrinth a special place to journey and arrive. Their vigour and joy left me feeling very alive. We were even treated to a sighting of dolphins. A magical morning. #walkingthelabyrinth #beinginthecycles #lughnasa #lammas #lucymaresh #northumberland

Calming down with some rubber duck relaxation! Join me this Wednesday for some family yoga fun and games based on Eric Carle's story 'Ten Little Rubber Ducks'.

Field of peas. Feeling peas-ful. Peas on earth. #peas #peace #shilbottle #northumberland #july #aspacetobeyogaretreat

Emergency #restorativeyoga and #firstaid after removing the tip of my finger with a brand new extra sharp bread knife! Stayed like this over an hour waiting for bleeding to stop. Daughter is making a bracelet to cheer me up. Cat is supervising as always. #reallifeyoga #savasana #elevatedlegssavasana #adventuresofblacktreacle

Much gratitude to all who attended this afternoon's restorative yoga workshop in #shilbottle . Particular thanks to Dawn for helping with set-up and expert assistance - and for superior skills at capturing arty shots of yoga props! Next workshop Sat 31 August - save the date!

Gratitude

For the many hundreds of women and babies that have been part of Mother Nurture Yoga since 2008.

For Tara Fraser – who awakened in me and continues to nurture my inner teacher.

For Uma Dinsmore-Tuli – who teaches me to listen to my womb wisdom.

For Judith Hanson Lasater – who teaches me how to do nothing.

For my own two yoga-babies who teach me about everything.

Namaste
