Autumn Equinox last week marked day and night of equal length here in the Northern Hemisphere and the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice.  This turning point brings us cooler temperatures, later sunrises and earlier night falls.  It's time to embrace deep Autumn and October!

Amidst this uncertain time full of challenges and delays, where moving forward in our own lives often feels out of our control, what is in our own power is to enhance our health, energy levels, resilience, fitness, immunity, manage/reduce stress and boost our well-being.  Natural options available include:

new YOGA and BARRE classes which are now underway in Heiton-by-Kelso and Melrose, Scottish Borders.  Small group classes offer a safe space for beginners and those with experience, ladies and gentlemen, young and mature yogis alike!  Scroll down for details and bookings.

SPYLAW FARM MASSAGE CLINIC welcomes you for restoring massage treatments on a handmade wooden and leather massage plinth, a luxury heated fleece blanket, freshly laundered linens, nourishing Ishga massage oil made with 99% organic ingredients including Hebridian seaweed, doTERRA pure grade essential oils, a confidential consultation and personalised treatments designed to meet your needs and goals. 

Academic semester is underway at the University of St Andrews, although I have not yet set foot on campus we are welcoming scholars from around the world online from my kitchen table here in Kelso!
