Yoga For Beginners - 4-week course. Start on Tuesday, 29.07.2025, at 19.00

Deep Stretch Class - Alignments in poses.
👉When we practice yoga, we often wonder🤔 if the poses we're doing are correct and perhaps wonder why they look different on us than on others. In this course, I explain what is important to aligning and perfecting our yoga poses, as well as how functionality and aesthetics influence how we perform poses, and how our own uniqueness has to do with it.
❓️What is yoga pose alignment? It uses your whole body in an integrated way to move it into a specific shape, aligning it correctly in order to hold a pose and 👉gain the most benefit from it
✨️A correctly aligned pose will allow you to use the 👉right amount of muscular strength, mobility, and flexibility in your practice. It will help you both in yoga and also in your life😮, the way you walk, hold yourself, and your self-confidence and promote general ease and comfort.

Join me  on the mat to find out more about alignments and to feel poses in different ways🧘‍♀️🙏🙂

Connecting with your breath during yoga practice is essential for several reasons—it enhances physical, mental, and energetic benefits while deepening your overall experience. Here’s why breath awareness (often called *pranayama* in yoga) is so important:
1️⃣Links Mind & Body (Enhances Mindfulness)
♦️The breath acts as a bridge between the mind and body, helping you stay present in each movement.
♦️Focusing on the breath prevents distractions, allowing you to cultivate mindfulness and inner awareness.
2️⃣ Improves Movement & Alignment
♦️Coordinating breath with movement (e.g., inhaling to expand, exhaling to twist or fold) creates fluidity and ease in transitions.
♦️Proper breathing supports muscle engagement and spinal alignment, reducing the risk of injury.
3️⃣Activates the Relaxation Response
♦️Deep, conscious breathing signals the nervous system to shift from fight-or-flight (stress mode) to rest-and-digest (calm state).
♦️This lowers cortisol levels, reduces tension, and helps release emotional blockages stored in the body.
4️⃣Increases Oxygenation & Energy Flow
♦️Slow, controlled breathing maximizes oxygen intake, improving circulation and energizing cells.
♦️In yoga philosophy, breath (prana) is life force energy—regulating it enhances vitality and mental clarity.
5️⃣. Deepens Physical Practice
♦️Breath control allows you to hold poses longer by reducing muscle fatigue.
♦️Exhaling fully helps release tension in challenging postures (e.g., forward folds or deep stretches).
♦️Prepares for Meditation
♦️A steady breath rhythm calms mental chatter, making it easier to transition into meditation after asana practice.
How to Practice Breath Awareness in Yoga:
👉Ujjayi Breath (Ocean Breath): Audible, rhythmic breathing to maintain focus.
👉Sync Movement with Breath: Inhale to lengthen (e.g., arms up), exhale to deepen (e.g., forward fold).
👉 Observe Natural Breath: In restorative yoga, simply noticing the breath can be enough.

By prioritizing breath, yoga becomes more than just physical exercise—it transforms into a moving meditation that nurtures holistic well-being.

Maintaining a healthy spine is crucial for overall mobility, posture, and preventing chronic pain. Proper nutrition and regular exercise play key roles in spinal health. Here’s why:

♦️1. Proper Nutrition Supports Spine Health
- Bone Strength:Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and phosphorus help maintain strong vertebrae, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
- Disc Health:Spinal discs need hydration (water) and nutrients like collagen, vitamin C, and omega-3s to stay flexible and prevent degeneration.
- Inflammation Control: Anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables, fatty fish) reduce joint and nerve inflammation, easing back pain.
- Muscle Function:Protein and electrolytes (potassium, sodium) support muscle strength, reducing strain on the spine.

♦️2. Regular Exercise Strengthens the Spine
- Core Strength:Strong abdominal and back muscles stabilize the spine, improving posture and reducing injury risk.
- Flexibility & Mobility:Stretching (yoga, Pilates) keeps spinal joints and muscles supple, preventing stiffness.
- Bone Density: Weight-bearing exercises (walking, resistance training) help maintain bone strength, preventing spinal deterioration.
- Disc Nutrition: Movement promotes blood flow and nutrient exchange in spinal discs, keeping them healthy.
- Posture Correction: Exercises that strengthen back and shoulder muscles prevent slouching and spinal misalignment.

🤔What Happens if You Neglect Diet & Exercise?
- Weak muscles 👉Poor posture 👉 Chronic back pain
- Bone loss 👉Higher risk of fractures and spinal compression
- Stiff joints 👉 Reduced mobility and increased degeneration
- Disc dehydration 👉 Herniated discs and nerve pain
🙄😬🫢

⬇️Key Tips for a Healthy Spine⬇️
✔ Eat a balanced diet (leafy greens, nuts, fish, lean proteins).
✔ Stay hydrated(discs are ~70% water).
✔ Strengthen core muscles(planks, bridges, deadlifts).
✔ Stretch regularly(cat-cow, child’s pose, hamstring stretches).
✔ Avoid prolonged sitting (take breaks, walk, stand).

By combining good nutrition with targeted exercise, you can maintain a strong, flexible spine and prevent long-term back problems. 🚶‍♂️💪

Feeling much better after yoga is a common experience🙂, and it’s backed by both science and the holistic benefits of the practice. Here’s why yoga tends to leave you feeling so good:
1. Stress Reduction & Relaxation
- Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" mode), reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
2. Release of Endorphins & "Feel-Good" Chemicals
- Gentle stretching and movement increase serotonin (the happiness hormone) and endorphins (natural painkillers).
- Certain poses can boost mood by stimulating the nervous system.
3. Physical Release of Tension
- Yoga helps release stored tension in muscles, fascia, and joints, especially in areas like the hips, shoulders, and spine (where stress often accumulates).
4. Mindfulness & Present-Moment Awareness
- Yoga encourages focusing on the breath and body, shifting attention away from worries about the past or future.
- This mindfulness effect is similar to meditation, reducing mental chatter and promoting inner peace.
5. Improved Oxygenation & Energy Flow
- Controlled breathing increases oxygen supply to the brain and muscles, reducing fatigue and brain fog.
6. Balanced Nervous System
- Yoga helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, balancing energy (sympathetic) and relaxation (parasympathetic) responses.
- This leads to a sense of equilibrium—feeling both energized and calm.
7. Emotional Release
- Certain poses (like hip openers) are known to release stored emotions, as the hips and psoas muscle are linked to stress and trauma (according to somatic theories).
8. Improved Digestion & Detoxification
- Yoga stimulates the digestive organs, helping with bloating and sluggishness.
9. Sense of Accomplishment & Self-Care
- Taking time for yourself in a yoga session fosters self-compassion and a positive mindset.
👉In Short:
Yoga works on physical, mental, and energetic levels, creating a "reset" for your body and mind. Whether it’s the stretching, breathing, or mental clarity, the combined effects leave you feeling lighter, calm.
Do you notice specific poses or styles that make you feel best? 😊

🌞 We were literally on the plane in Spain when we were told to get off again and wait a few hours.
Instead of frustration, I found a gift, time to land into myself, to reflect, and to connect with what I’m bringing home…

After a week of soaking up golden light, long sunsets and soft stillness, I’m feeling deeply aligned and so ready for my upcoming Summer Solstice Day Retreat.

The Summer Solstice is one of the most powerful days in the Celtic calendar — the sun at its peak, the earth alive, our spirits called to rise.

✨ It’s a sacred turning point.
A time to honour your fire.
To shed what no longer fits.
To step fully into who you already are ☀️

And you don’t need to know anything about it.
You don’t need experience.
Just a feeling, a yes from within — even a whisper is enough.

This is your invitation.

We’ll gather in ceremony…
Cacao. Meditation. Sound healing. Breathwork. Energy.
A safe, gentle space to reconnect — with nature, with your truth, with you 🫶🏼

No pressure, no performance.
Come alone or bring someone close.
And if you’re feeling nervous — message me. You are so welcome here.

✨ Last few spaces left.
If your heart is whispering yes… now is the time - book now https://rechargeyou.co.uk/begin-within 👯‍♀️☀️
