Yoga in space - what fun to try it without gravity!

“I did [a lot] of yoga when I was on board the ISS, and it’s actually not that hard to do,” she said. “In some ways, way more fun to do ... There are some poses that are tough. The standing poses I don’t necessarily get as much out of. But a lot of the stretching poses are great. So yes, yoga’s fantastic.” - Astronaut Christina Koch, the first woman to travel around the Moon.

Congratulations to all of the Artemis II crew. Welcome home, Integrity!

Nigella Lawson has been officially announced as the new judge of The Great British Bake Off,

In an article with
Over the years, exercise has helped the 66-year-old maintain her health and wellbeing. ‘I do yoga three times a week,’ she told Good Housekeeping. ‘I have to do something I enjoy, otherwise I wouldn’t do it. The older I get, the more I realise I have got to do lots of stretching. So even if I’m not doing yoga, I make myself do lots of stretching.’

Nigella favours Iyengar yoga, a style that highlights precision and correct positioning when performing postures, often using props like blocks and belts as support. For her, fitness is as much about overall wellbeing as it is about physical results.

‘As you get on in life, you value feeling well as opposed to looking well,’ she’s said

“Yoga certainly makes you feel great, and you want to carry on feeling great.”

Well we should be inside the yoga school doing backbends today but classes are cancelled because we can’t get in - it’s a crime scene. The barber shop downstairs was attacked with a Molotov cocktail overnight. Feeling for the guys downstairs. The fire was not as bad as it could have been, but still bad enough! Yoga classes will resume tomorrow at 10.

What a great way to start the year! Thanks Pixie for your excellent 7 day January intensive. As a result I feel younger this year than I did last year!

Lovely to catch up with yoga friends at Pixie’s week long intensive. We’ve been doing yoga together for more than 25 years. Swims cool us down between sessions!
