Grateful to have a week of beautiful weather in Kiryu where we welcomed two guests from Hong Kong. One of the guests took part in a 30km trail run in our neighboring prefecture. We had a combined Vin Yin yoga session before the race and a celebratory cuisine after. おめでとうございます! 🙌

We also had lots delicious meals and snacks during this trip. We enjoyed spending time in our garden with the blooming flowers. And we had a deer visited just outside our house the other night!

Homeward bound now. Look forward to seeing everyone back in Yin Yoga tomorrow and Hatha Yoga on Friday!

Vin Yin Yoga

We are so happy to have guests from Hong Kong joining us in our Kiryu yoga space this week. One of our guests will take part in a 30km trail running in Saitama today! I have designed a 1-hour Vin Yin Yoga session which is great for preparing long distance running or hiking, and can also be practiced to improve mobility and flexibility.

This is a combined Vinyasa (Hatha) and Yin Yoga practice. In Vin, we focused on core strength, leg muscles and strong balance. In Yin, we practiced deep stretches to soften the legs and open the hips.

I hope you enjoy this session and will practice at home while I am in Japan. Our weekly yoga class in Lowood will resume 14 May.

Want to improve your upper body strength while relieving stress?

Then Ardha Pincha Mayurasana - Dolphin and Tri Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana - Three Legged Downward Facing Dog poses are your friends 🙂

Dolphin 🐬 pose tones the upper body while improving hip agility and increasing hamstring flexibility. Three Legged Dog 🐶 pose not only is a strength and balance building posture, it also energises the nervous system and relieves stress, headaches and fatigue.

Start the new month and the new day in a positive light.

The powerful benefits of daily Sun Salutations:
- become centered and grounded
- create focus for the day
- increase muscle strength and flexibility
- boost the immune system and overall health
- de-stress and find inner peace

We practised Sun Salutations in our Hatha Yoga class last week. Let’s continue the practice as our classes are paused while I am away.

It is great to have a number of new students who attended both of our Yin and Hatha Yoga classes lately. It’s wonderful to know that they all benefited from the deep stretch in Yin and energising poses in Hatha with a few also enjoyed the restful Restorative Yoga class.

While our classes will pause for two weeks when I am away, you can watch our YouTube channel to continue your practice. Such as this sequence we did in our Hatha class this morning to build strong core and balance with Warrior II and III 🙂
