Adding another weekly class at studio white Tara just because we have to cut down the capacity due to COVID and Wednesday evening’s is always full house…….

Does one suggest finding another venue for our yin yoga and gong baths, just till everything normalises due to high demands and lower capacity…..

Not that I’m complaining because Im not, to be honest I’m very grateful that yogis want to be In an amazing space that we can practice from.

Zen out….

ying yoga

Feeling overwhelmed…. like your struggling to stay afloat, stressed, distracted or unworthy?

Wanting to find some focus in a kind meaningful way. Just recognising, being aware having awareness is the key.

Start to gently and slowly breathe deeply, clearing the mind, resetting ourselves and calming the nervous system.

Having the attention to our breath allowing us to remind ourselves of the space we can create and the freedom in our hearts. just breathe…..

Clearing the space allows us to set our intentions from a strengthen heart authentically. Freeing ourselves from this anxiety of what was to the freedom of what will be…..

By trusting the process and just be. Sitting quietly and breathe. Bring your awareness back to your breath.

That’s mediating. Let’s do it together, explore together.

What’s yoga to you?

ying yoga

For its true essence of yoga for me is exploring the reason of my birth, discovering it then fulling it’s purpose.

Living by what we have explored, authentically and true to ourselves.

Yes we move our bodies for more body awareness. In turn, we have awareness of our breath to reset and calm the nervous system to allow us to clear the mind.

Having the ability just to sit, just to be …meditation. Gaining more clarity, in-sink with our purpose with more fulfilment.

What is yoga to you? Explore it with me and then know what it is for you….

Live yoga

ying yoga

Oh my god! Really? I have to do this?

Given the current situation, my schedule has now changed. I’m offering yoga lessons via Zoom, for £5 each:

Monday 6pm
Wednesday 6.30pm
Saturday 9.30am

Live yoga online is something I was not really prepared to do, but like most things I tend to work better when I’m thrown in at the deep end.

It was slightly daunting for me (to say the least!), so why did I do it? To stay connected to my yogis.

Seeing them and practicing with them makes me smile, and making me smile makes my heart warm.

After getting set up at home, the real work began with plenty of trial and error, as I’m no techie. But, thanks to lots of patience from my yogis as well as myself we started to get there.

So I’m still learning, which I love! I’m definitely a “forever student”. As the weeks roll on, I will keep going.

When we get back to normal life again, how will it be? Will we still be doing online yoga? It’s something one has to contemplate.

Being in the same room, with a sense of togetherness is more for me, for sure. I enjoy being able to see in real time, have a connection with people, and hug! The last touch in savasana is something I just can’t do over the Internet. So I will definitely be returning to Studio White Tara and Hughes hall one day, but I might find more yogis and decide to stay online too!

Stay connected, stay safe, embrace this for what it is, and keep learning!

Organising a photo shoot

ying yoga

Recently I thought about getting a professional to take some photos for my website, but became paralysed by the choice. How did I choose who? How did I choose where? How did I choose which poses?

There was so much to think about, and I didn’t even know all of the unknowns! My mind was full of questions, but I knew what would help. I decided a bit of yoga and meditation was on the cards. I thought I’d come back to myself with a clearer head.

It worked a charm. I thought carefully about “who”, and knew that she’d be helpful and guiding. That’s how the universe works. After talking to the photographer, she was so reassuring with everything from the setting to how we will work together, and I felt great.

So I’m now looking forward to doing this outside in this beautiful weather, close to nature. It may be a little chilly but the sunlight is always so pretty late evening: low sun and autumn leaves! The perfect setting.

Photos to follow!

Men and flexibility…..

ying yoga

I saw a post about a dad doing yoga and how with determination over time he ended up being able to touch his toes.

I know that’s not what yoga is about, but when you see a happy face as somebody becomes more subtle than they thought they could be? For me, that happy face is what yoga is about for, especially when their practice has not been about ego.

It happened in my class recently with a university student. At the end  he happily came up to and proudly told me that he touched his toes today. To profound moment was amazing to see.

Sending your life force breath in to every part of your body helps give the ability to move how ever small or big your movements are .

Once your mind is focused wth awarness of your breath, anything can happen, from consistent and fluid stretching, to strengthening with a mindful pratice,and everything inbetween.

This can happen for anyone its just about your breath. So Breathe.
