Sage Yoga Studio Belper

Sage Yoga Studio Belper Laurie of Sage Yoga offers down to earth teachings of authentic Yoga, Meditation and Qigong. I really look forward to sharing what I learn in more detail soon.

Our History, Ethos and Vision:
Hello, I'm Laurie, local Yoga teacher and Owner of Sage Yoga Studio in Belper. We opened our doors to our community in September 2018 with the vision of creating a friendly, non-intimidating and supportive environment for anyone wanting to explore the practice of authentic yoga. Our space has provided a haven of calm and safety for many students wanting to re-connect, breathe and grow as an individual and as part of a like-minded community. Nearly 4 years on and despite world events we have grown into a supportive group of teachers and practitioners. We work together with the aim of cultivating compassion, kindness and deeper connection to ourselves and each other with a view to creating positive ripples out into the local community and beyond. Bio:
My own journey into Yoga began with a class taken over 20 years ago. The teacher awakened a deep sense of curiosity and a longing to know more. I began to attend regular classes and dive deeper into my own journey of self discovery. I was introduced to a meditation teacher who would totally change the trajectory and purpose of my life through the imparting of their wisdom and transformative teachings. In September 2008 I began to take the first steps toward becoming a Yoga Teacher. Skip forwards 13 years and I have completed over 1000 hrs of teacher trainings including Trauma Informed Yoga for Embodiment and Social Impact, Advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga for Anxiety and Depression, Yoga Nidra for Mental Health plus Hyper-mobility on the mat. I have recently qualified as a 5 Element Qigong teacher and I am currently training in Applied Poly-vagal Theory for Therapeutic Yoga and very much looking forward to sharing these profound and life changing teachings this year. I am really excited to now be training in Chinese Medicine Food Therapy which will really compliment my Yoga and Qigong classes, Seasonal Workshops and Retreats. It will give me an extra set of skills and boost my passion for Chinese medicine and the Taoist principle of Food as Medicine. My teaching style incorporates a fusion of different traditions and philosophies, focusing on embodiment practices, Five Element Theory and the cycles of nature to bring us back to a place of wholeness and balance. I interweave knowledge of different traditions and modality trainings in yoga, qigong and mindfulness to offer a unique form of therapeutic, mindful somatic movement practice designed to empower an individual with accessible and sustainable skills and tools needed to embrace the journey back home towards autonomy and realising their own true potential. My passion is Yoga for Mental Health and creating an inclusive, non judgemental, safe space for for those looking to ease the stress and tensions of modern day living in the form of:

At 2.46pm UK time we stand in perfect balance of light and dark at the Spring Equinox (chūn fēn – 春分 – Mar.20th – April 4th)

From now on, as the days grow longer, yang rises and yin will decline. The season’s energy supports us in releasing the old and outworn, and embracing new growth, clarity, vision, and direction so we can evolve and reach our fullest potential.

It's the perfect time to really think about our purpose, reflecting on what 'growth' truly means to us on a deep and personal level.

If you have time today, I invite you take a moment to step outside and observe the trees in your local area. See how they awaken, standing rooted and grounded yet open and relaxed, reaching up towards the light.

It's such a simple yet profound observation don't you think?

Wishing you a day of gentle reflection with and invitation to observe moments of stillness and practice 'Being like a tree' 💚

Happy Spring Awakenings to you all 🌱

What a beautiful afternoon at the ‘office’ planning for our Spring Equinox Retreat here next Saturday 💚

The magic of the Woods and Deer Park never fail to amaze, inspire and remind me of the inter-connected nature of all things.

I always leave feeling calm, clear and peaceful for which I am truly grateful 🙏

When the darkness gives way to the light, we are gifted the ability to feel a deeper sense of gratitude that would not have been possible without the experience of it’s direct opposite.

The infinitely powerful presence of pure awareness is always here, waiting patiently to be experienced behind the cloud like covering of the conditioned mind and illusory Self.

The world is changing and the darker times will reveal the light that we always were, are and always will be.

Let us walk the path of peace in our daily lives, be kind in your intentions and interactions where possible, become conscious of your motivations and be a warrior of truth. This is the path of transformation. It doesn't need an audience, nor does it need to be a big show, it is humble and unseen yet it carries more power than grand acts that desire attention and profit.

Humanity is not always going to agree on everything so use your intellect and logic wisely and discern, discern, discern!

With much love on this beautiful spring day 💚

After a few days away from the studio it is such a joy to see the new growth and splash of welcome colour outside our entrance this week.

The spring energy is palpable as the much needed light of the sun warms the ground and lifts our spirits 🌼

A thought popped into my head during today’s qigong class and I felt it may be useful to share with you.

‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’

Yes, I know it’s not profound or poetic but it’s maybe what someone needs to hear today. I know I did 😂🙏

Enjoy your day, it’s a gift and a blessing that not everyone get’s to share.

It's gonna be quite the year apparently so hold on to your stetsons and enjoy the ride. Make time for plenty of planned and proper rest to balance the fast pace of transformation, growth and expansion we may experience this coming year.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL

In loving awareness
Laurie ❤️🙏
