I am not really one for big New Years Eve parties, but I love starting New Years Day as I want the year to carry on. For me, being outdoors, moving, breathing by the sea is exactly what I always want more of. Getting outside of my comfort zone in the cold sea, and then drinking tea and eating cake afterwards.

We’ll gather at Tide Mills beach, between Seaford and Newhaven (BN25 2RT), on our usual quiet patch of flat ground just back from the pebbles — on a quiet spot of flat ground just back from the pebbles—where we will be more comfortable and balanced.

We start with a yoga class, focus on intention setting and feeling amazing.
Stretching out the large muscles and getting the circulation going in the body to prepare us for the following swim.

We move through a series of stretches and poses, feeling our bodies awaken and our breath deepen. Our movements will be slow and intentional, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and nature.

After the yoga, you’re welcome to join me for a sea swim. The water will definitely wake you up — but it’s the best kind of invigorating. Whether you dip, paddle, or go for a full plunge, cold water is a powerful reset and a brilliant way to mark a new beginning.

Whether you choose to go in the sea or not, I will bring tea and some breakfast snacks for afterwards.

These mornings are what I am the most passionate about in my whole life. They make me feel alive and in deep gratitude for my body, and that is what I want to share with you!

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.

Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.

Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.
