🌿 What a wonderful training session we had yesterday! 🌿

A heartfelt thank‑you to our strong, supportive core group for showing up with open hearts and focused minds even though it was raining. 🙏✨

A special shout‑out to Pauline from the Jersey Islands, she joined us for two Mondays and told us she loved the class. It was so relaxing, that the movements were gently stretching and the practice emptied the mind and left her feeling refreshed. See you next year, Pauline!! 🌊🧘‍♀️

Seeing everyone unwind, stretch, and find that calm space together is exactly why we do this. Thank you all for bringing your energy and intention! 💚

Sitting in Seiza isn’t just a traditional Japanese posture it’s a tiny daily meditation that grounds the body and calms the mind. 🌱

In our Aikido classes we do a little work in Seiza or Shikko (knee walking) as you develop fitness. Everyone is encouraged to work at their own level. With regular practice, great positive changes can be achieved in your body for longevity and balance.

When you kneel, mindfully lengthen the spine, and rest your hands lightly on your thighs, you:

✔️Align the hips and lower back, easing tension
✔️Centre and ground yourself
✔️ Improve flexibility and ki flow to the lower limbs
✔️ Activate the diaphragm for deeper, calmer breaths
✔️ Create a quiet focus before a movement begins

A few minutes of Seiza before a meeting, class, or bedtime can reset your nervous system and bring you back to the present moment. Give it a try! Feel the connection between your feet, your breath, and your inner stillness. 🙏

Remember that when practicing Kotegaeshi
it is helpful to not just ‘pull’ the wrist and arm, but to connect to ukes center, draw him out with our own center and lead.
We are blending with attacking energy, not physically catching the hand to pull and twist. At first, this is what we might do but later we can notice and refine.

Establish a good center connection before turning. Always take balance first.
Draw uke out spirally and turn.
Arms, hip, and feet move as one coordinated whole body unit.
We prioritize our center and our strong legs.
The Kotegaeshi wristlock finishes after the body creates appropriate space and distance.
If uke is off balance we can turn/lock the wrist with much less physical force.
It is not necessary to wrench the wrist.

Experience Ki Energy Yoga Among the Tall, Whispering Trees 🌳🧘‍♀️

There’s something magical about practicing Ki Energy Yoga beneath a canopy of dense, towering trees. The air feels fresher, the ground steadier, and every breath seems to draw the forest’s calm straight into you. 🍃✨

One of the biggest reasons to join us is to re‑charge your inner battery ⚡️. Anxiety, stress, and worry constantly drain our energy reserves, leaving us feeling depleted. In our classes you’ll learn how to fill up that battery through mindful movement and breath, and then release it intentionally. By experiencing this cycle you’ll discover how to hold onto your energy even when life or other people try to take it away. 💪🛡️

Come breathe, stretch, and restore your vitality in nature’s own sanctuary. 🌲💚

Come as you are, and let the practice nurture balance, calm, and inner peace, rain‑proof, inviting, and rooted in the present moment. 🌿✨💫
💫 Suitable for all levels
💫 A warm, welcoming community
💫 Women and men welcome
💫 A start to your week
✨ Bookings are open

Honor the brilliance of going slow.
View it as an opportunity to refine our presence and awareness.
Practice into this wise activity with patience.
Learn to see every part of the form.

Practicing techniques slowly might seem unnecessary, tedious, and boring.
Yet it brings a mindful focused attention to nuance and detail, to all things ‘tai sabaki’.
We study and notice how to control our own coordinated body while observing other ‘unnoticed’ factors such as the breath, body dynamic, weight distribution, space or the absence of it, timing and balance. These observations allow for more ease in control, smoothness and good connection.
When we move fast and use momentum we might sense and feel very little. We might move incidentally and accidentally - perhaps landing in the correct area, copying movement but without purposeful intent.
Going slow allows the body practice to gain this awareness since we are essentially retraining our nervous system.
This way we incorporate small details while noticing the reflexive and inefficient habitual patterns of muscle activation.

As a practice, we can eventually balance the approaches of going both slow and fast.

The question to incorporate in our own study is how much can we mindfully notice moving slow and how much of those details can we keep intact while moving fast?

It’s our own private study.
Gather the information.

You can think of cognitive reserve as your brain's ability to improvise and find alternate ways of getting a job done....
