Group events have landed! 💥

I’ll now be holding regular group courses and masterclasses where we get to dive deep into particular topics such as the art of a yoga self-practice, creating mental wellness, intuitive yoga flow, mindset and manifestation, and mindfulness for parents and carers.

I’ve got 2 masterclasses coming up this Autumn, both at the gorgeous Salisbury Centre (2 Salisbury Road, EH16 5AB) and you don’t want to miss out on these immersive events 🍂

🧡 Ataraxia - Deep Rest and Stress Relief | 20th October 2024 | 2 - 4:30pm

Emotional exhaustion doesn’t come from stress but from not releasing that stress. An immersive experience designed to teach you the tools to release stress, build mental resilience and rediscover your inner calm.

For the burnt out and depleted, those of us who struggle to prioritise ourselves or our self care. For the ambitious, driven high achievers who desperately need a more balanced life. For the parents and carers who are running on empty.

Restorative yoga, journalling, mindset work, open discussions & deep rest. Plus a BONUS stress release toolkit to take home with you.

____

🧡 Intuitive Flow Masterclass | 17th November 2024 | 2 - 4:30pm

A playful masterclass devoted to the art of self practice. Learn how to practice yoga on your own terms, in alignment with your body, mindset and energetic state.

We’ll explore how to use yoga to shift our mindset and get curious about how to allow our intuition lead us on our mat. An afternoon of yoga-informed movement, both led and self-guided.

Recommended experience: at least 6 months of yoga so that you have familiarity with foundational yoga poses and transitions.

Hi I’m Tali 💜 I live in Edinburgh, Scotland,

Hi I’m Tali 💜 I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, with my amazing partner Mike and our beautiful 2 year old girl Reileen.

Alone time is my love language just now (5/2 Projector 🙋🏼‍♀️ ) and I love having my own space to think and create.

I discovered yoga well over a decade ago when I committed to my mental recovery and I don’t think there’s a single aspect in my life that didn’t uplevel as a result 🙃

For the past 9 years I’ve been teaching yoga-informed movement, mindset and mindfulness practices to help 100s of people experience the same transformation and healing ❤️

I’m most passionate about the impact that yoga and mindset work can have on our mental wellbeing and relationships with self. Happiness is an inside job 🧘

I don’t live in the shallows. Skip the small talk and show me your authentic self pleeease✌️

Just living my dream life 🫶 I love the Pentlan

Just living my dream life 🫶

I love the Pentlands. It’s where I go whenever I need to do some soul searching. Good news, bad news, sadness, joy, these hills have always held me when I’ve needed to figure shit out.

And these past few weeks I’ve finally made it back up there - several times 🫶

I remember one of the cards we got from one of my partner’s friends when Rei was born. Or rather, I remember the sentiment behind it (newborn brain, I don’t remember much from that time 😬) - how parenthood is not about giving up your previous adventures but rather getting to take someone else along for the ride.

I really feel like we’ve been living that for the past couple of months. It feels so great to be going out all day so often, flying down to Birmingham for weekends, doing yoga together (ok this is admittedly a work in progress ha), baking cakes and watching you chase sheep on the hills 🐑

For anyone in the thick of an intense chapter of life - this is a message that everything is seasonal, that things will get better ❤️

Life lately + coming home to me.

Let’s just say this was not my first losing-self rodeo, but it’s been a hell of a challenge nonetheless. My theme for 2024 was IDENTITY because I felt so lost and something had to change.

I actually wrote a blog post series about goals, resolutions and my identity theme a while back, I’ll share the links in my stories if you want a read (or just head over to my bio link for my blog).

ALSO newsletter coming out tomorrow all about ego deaths (RIP) and all things identity. IT’S A GOOD UN. Head over to taliallen.com to get on my mailing list.
It’s been a trip, there’s still shifts going on, but I feel more much like my (new/old?!) self than in a looooong time 😌

1. Our daily walk, ft all the daisies
2. Back in interior creativity mode again 🩵

One of my favourite practices for calming and slow

One of my favourite practices for calming and slowing my mind is meditation. A lot of people are put off by the idea of sitting still and having no distractions from your thoughts. I love having a toolkit of mantras and simple visualisations that I can use when I (and my clients) struggle in this way too.

This is one of my favourite visualisations to tap into my inner calm, and it’s worked wonders with my clients when they’re feeling stressed or frazzled.

Let me know if you like this practice ❤️

My journey from severe mental illness ➡️ healt

My journey from severe mental illness ➡️ health and happiness.

I think I was about 23 years old when I discovered yoga, and if you met me back then you’ll know I was unrecognisable compared to now. My diagnosis (bipolar disorder) was my identity, and I held on to it like a noose.

Entrenched in science and pessimism, I was resolute that my whole life would be a nightmare, and I remember previously scoffing at a well-meaning CPN who suggested that yoga and meditation might help support my mental state. Surely they knew that bipolar was incurable? That this was my fate?

I didn’t want to discover yoga. I think I may have been the most reluctant yoga beginner of all time 🤣🤣🤣. I was comfortably uncomfortable in the pain and misery I was in, and the thought of being any other way was honestly unthinkable! But my partner kept suggesting it and, as much as I rolled my eyes for a year or two, I eventually gave in.

And as cliche as it is to say, the rest was history. I could barely touch my knees let alone my toes, but something profound shifted mentally and spiritually for me.

Reconnecting to my body and my breath made me realise I was more than my mental illness. I felt hope for the first time in years.

I talk a lot about how much my identity has change

I talk a lot about how much my identity has changed since becoming a mum, but I don’t often share how hard that has been. I’ve used to be someone who has such a strong sense of self and purpose, with the ability to look after myself wholeheartedly and the conviction to follow my path no matter what, but now it feels like I’ve had the rug pulled from under my feet and I haven’t quite managed to get back up yet.

I think I’m shedding a lot of layers that weren’t serving me, but I’m not sure what’s underneath them or even whether I’m going to like what I’ll find. The whole process is so uncomfortable and I keep having to remind myself to surrender, even though in all honesty I resist that so hard. I’m so grateful for all my years of practice (non asana especially) and i have no idea how non-yogis do it 🤣

Matrescence is no joke.

That said, I’m so glad that I can recognise it’s that rather than a diagnosable mental illness (although it definitely doesn’t feel so clear cut some days!).

I’ve got friends who’ve been through postpartum mental illness (eg PPD, PPA, PPP, PTSD), and I’ve witnessed how hard that hits, especially with mum guilt and all of this cultural/social pressure that comes with parenting these days on top.

Personally, I can handle the sleep deprivation (I never thought I’d be the one to say that 🤣), I actually love supporting Rei through the emotional rollercoaster of toddler tantrums (ditto) and loving Rei is the easiest and best thing I’ve ever done. It was the total self-abandonment that really got me. Sacrificing showers so we can get out early, barely ever getting chance to practice because of all.the.chores, forgetting to look in the mirror for days on end.

But I’m clawing my way back to my mat, my daily practice, myself. I’m still not sure who that is, but I do know that coming back to asana and meditation will help me find out.

New beginnings ❤️ I’ve been teaching a few corporate classes lately and it’s been SUCH a joy to teach group again.

The past few years has seen my plan to lead groups put on the back burner over and over again. Thanks pandemic, pregnancy, life 😅

But

IT IS HAPPENING THIS YEAR

And I cannot wait.

It’s finally here! Taliallen.com is now live.

Had such a fun day yesterday with an impromptu pho

Had such a fun day yesterday with an impromptu photoshoot with my other half (who has become an incredible photographer over the years, such a good IG bf 😁). Taking advantage of a quieter schedule while so many clients are away for Easter hols.

I felt so much like me - fun hair, moving freely on my mat, neon yoga gear.

I still don’t know if I’m ‘here’ or if everything is still in flux in terms of identity, but it feels like things are settling. I’ve been through so many evolutions and huge shifts in my life, but this really does feel like a phoenix-esque rebirth 🔮

Can anybody relate? It’s such a strange process to articulate, but shout out if you’re going through some big identity shifts too!

I think one of the reasons I stepped away from IG

I think one of the reasons I stepped away from IG was because I have changed SO much. I had no idea (and still kind of don’t!) who I am now. So I paused for a good long while and just let myself be in this messy middle of the metamorphosis.

I was so hilariously wrong that motherhood wouldn’t change me. And I think the reason that the rug that was my previous life was pulled out from underneath me so abruptly was because I really HAD to change.

Let’s put it this way, we got pregnant before we’d planned to and I was sooo stressed because I had planned out the whole year (2022) for my business and I did not have time to be pregnant (especially as I knew I’d more than likely be uncontrollably throwing up for the whole 9 months).

Talk about prioritisation there 🤣

I had a ‘get my abs back’ plan and even lash and brow appointments booked for 2 weeks after my due date (😆😆😆) because I wanted to get back to feeling/looking like myself immediately (fuuuuuck bounce back culture btw).

I had the postpartum experience and the baby that I absolutely needed - a little girl who needed me to BE there for her 24/7 and basically never put her down. I had no plans to breastfeed let alone bedshare (yet here we are, still doing both of these things 20 months later ❤️).

I was clinging on to a business model that was just not working for me, and when I eventually surrendered (aka let it burn) I just stopped.

I’ve experienced enough deaths in my life (business, career, relationships) to know that something that is so much more aligned will always rise from the ashes.

It is also rising at about 0.001mph because I have so little time to materialise the new offerings that are ready to come through, but things are so much clearer for me now than ever before.
