Back with a new episode this time talking about habits. The healthy kind! It takes the average person 66 days to form a habit (UCL study 2009). What are yours? Why I think having habits can help you survive the shift.

In this episode I talk about how yoga has helped me in my daily life to confront feelings of self doubt and, I believe, helped me get a promotion. With some tales from my childhood thrown in for fun!

In this episode I talk about wintering and read a wonderful poem by Donna Ashworth which helps us to remember that it's ok if we are on a go slow January! I also talk about 3 habits I am bringing into my shiftworker lifestyle to make my life easier. Finally I talk about my class offerings for 2024 and exciting plans to bring some strength training alongside my yoga teaching. It's a little...

In this final episode for 2023 I talk about new year resolutions and the idea that we need to start the new year as a new person. How about no? Instead of resolving to CHANGE yourself or put lots of pressure on yourself with, let's face it, unachievable resolutions and then you feel rubbish about yourself, let's set some intentions. Positive intentions which will help you live a happier an...

This episode I talk about the festive season and why, as someone who often works at this time of year, I try to place less emphasis on the date. I also touch on 'ask twice' and encourage you to check in on friends, family and colleagues at a time of year when many struggle.

This episode discusses research which suggests hobbies can boost a person's confidence at work as long as it is sufficiently different to your day job. For me, yoga and policing are pretty different! Have you got a hobby and how do you think it impacts your work?

In this episode I talk about procrastination and self sabotage, why snoozing your alarm is just delaying the pain and encouraging you to reframe the start to your day!

In this episode I talk about stress and anxiety. When you are in a stressful job, like many people these days, it can come home with you and it means you aren't giving yourself a chance to rest. Or perhaps, as I talk about personally, anxiety kicks in about going back to work and you imagine the worst. Yoga is my tool to acknowledge my thoughts and feelings but also to give my mind a little sa...

Sleep! It's not just about the quantity but also the quality. There are around 3.8 million shift workers in the UK. How many of us are sleep deprived and what impact does that have on our performance? In this episode I talk a bit about sleep after a nightshift and how I have tried to change my habit of fitting a full day's activity in before a full shift. I also talk about yoga and in part...

When I tell people I am a police officer and a yoga teacher, there's usually the same reaction 'Oh, that's different'. Because when you say it out loud yes it does seem like the ultimate contradiction. I think it's a perfect complement!  In this episode find out little bit about my story - my life as a police officer, how I found yoga and the beginning of the Shiftworker Yogi. ...
