My Journey

A letter to you before we meet

My parents left Punjab, India for the UK in their late teens - two strangers brought together in marriage, carrying their culture, their faith and their traditions with them. I was born into that world, and grew up surrounded by the rituals and rhythms of Sikh family life. During holidays, I often travelled back to Punjab. I remember our family home surrounded by farmland and the sound of cows.  At the time, I didn't fully appreciate the visits to temples/Gurdwaras - sitting in stillness, listening to the singing/kirtan.  Looking back, those experiences were quietly planting something in me.  

Life, became my greatest teacher.  Yoga gave me strength to embrace motherhood when I was pregnant with my first child at 30.  My yoga practice was a companion when my marriage ended.  A consistent practice helped me find myself again - quietly and slowly.  At 40 I was, pregnant with my second child, and my dad died suddenly. I was full of anger and grief I didn't know what to do with.  I had a good life — a loving husband, a new baby coming, so much to be grateful for — and yet I was lost. Searching outside myself for something I couldn't even name.

At 41, during practice, that I felt a glimmer of wholeness for the first time.  A moment of genuine connection - to myself, to something deeper. It was enough to make me want more of it. So I kept showing up on the mat. I deepened my practice, studied yoga and developed my understanding. Slowly, yoga became something devotional for me - not just movement, but a mirror. A place to observe my own patterns with honesty and kindness, and choose differently. I began to trust my own inner knowing. I found a strength I didn't know I had.

Since September 2018, my husband Ramsey has been by my side as my constant champion. Together we have created Still Waters - nestled in our garden, a space to move, pause and reflect. Every teaching I share in class comes from the ancient tradition of yoga - and has been meaningful to me personally, in my own life.

Still Waters provides an opportunity to take what resonates and carry it with you off the mat, into your days, into your choices, into the life you are quietly building.

You don't need to know what you're looking for.  Your arrival here is the first step.

With love,

Suki
