For the first two weeks of September, Northam hall is closed due to fitting a suspended ceiling and new lights for fire regulations. We will again use the council chambers in Windmill Lane. This will be Monday 1, Tuesday 2, Monday 8, Tuesday 9 September.

A blue/teal coloured drinks bottle was left at Lavington on Wednesday last week, if it’s yours do let me know.

Class times are as follows, they haven’t changed.

Monday
9.30-10.30am Northam Hall and Zoom.
11.00-12.00 Northam Hall. Gentle class

Tuesday
9.15 -10.00am Whatever the weather standing park yoga. Victoria park, Bideford.
10.30-11.30 am Northam Hall.

Wednesday
9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall, Bideford.

Friday

There are a couple of spaces for the TRE workshop on Sunday 21 September if anyone is interested. See poster attached.

And wishing you a restful easy Sunday evening.

Dear Yogis,

Just a quick email re dates for classes.

There is no Friday class at Lavington this week 18 July and no classes next Monday 21 July. All other classes during July will be as usual.

In August there will be no class on Wednesday 20 and Friday 22 August but there will be classes on Monday 25 August which is the bank holiday Monday.

I might be away for a few days on a course in September and Northam hall needs to have further fire regulation works so more emails at some point!

There will be a TRE (tension/trauma release exercises) workshop with myself and Tamsyn on Sunday September 21, 10-12pm at Northam Hall, spaces are limited so you will need to book a space if you want to come along. Perhaps email me if you would like more details.

I am loving all my learning at the moment and I thank you for coming along and sharing in the experience. I am also enjoying all the flower growing! Do take some home from a class especially if you haven’t already.

I have been making my own kefir for quite a few years and have grains if anyone wants some. Kefir is very easy to make!

I have had so much pleasure bringing all the flowers to classes, do make sure one week you take some away with you to enjoy.

As always, thank you for coming to class, do ask if you have any questions or just want to share your yoga experiences.

Dear Lovely Yoga Friends

Another email so soon!
Apologies, but I have just heard that Lavington Hall will not be available this week for yoga classes on Wednesday 21 and Friday 23 May. That is this week. There are big plumbing repairs to the ladies toilets making access to the hall difficult.

However do not despair! We can move to the park and do an hour long class instead, 9.30-10.30 am, bring mats and appproroate clothing. If we use the area to the right of the Burton when looking from the front of the Burton. It is an area where there is sun and shade available on the grass. It is also quite a quiet area.This will be an anonymous donation class.

And a reminder that Northam hall is unavailable this week too. Classes will be held at 1 Windmill Lane in the council chambers.

With best wishes
Nicola

Hi All,
A slight change to my previous email about dates of classes over the festive weeks. Lavington Hall are now having secondary double glazing fitted during the week before Christmas. This means there will be no classes now on Wednesday 18 and Friday 20 December.

The last class before Christmas will be 10.30-11.30 Northam hall Tuesday 17 December.
Classes will resume on Monday 6 January 2025, the schedule and cost will remain the same.

BUT there will be an Outdoor Park Yoga Class on Tuesday 31 December, New Year’s Eve at 9.15-10.00 Victoria Park Bideford.

As some of you know I have been on a Tension Stress Trauma release course over the last year. I am now at the point in my training where I am working with small groups. If you think you or a friend might like to come on a TRE workshop please let me know. The sessions are videod and watched by my mentors and then I have supervision on each session. If you would like to know a little bit more about TRE and the contraindications at this point in my training, please check this out on my website bidefordyoga.com Until I am qualified there is no charge for these sessions.

As always do ask if you have any questions about your practice. It’s been a great year being with you at classes, thank you for coming along and sharing a yoga journey together!

With best wishes for the time ahead,
Nicola

PS Please let me know if these emails are no longer of use to you and I will stop sending!

Hi All,
I hope the summer is going well for you.

There are classes as usual this coming week 19-23 August and then as mentioned in classes I am going to be away for most of the week 26-30 August so no classes during this time.

Classes will then resume for September starting on Monday 2.

I am changing the start time of the Wednesday Lavington class to 9.30am so that both the Wednesday and Friday classes start at the same time. I think it will be less confusing. The new weekly schedule will be as follows.

Monday 9.30-10.30 Northam Hall and on zoom
Monday 11-12 Northam Hall, (gentler class)

Tuesday 9.15-10.00am Whatever the weather yoga in the Park, Bideford.
Tuesday 10.30-11.30 Northam Hall

Wednesday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall, Bideford

Friday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall, Bideford.

The new class time will not one able to be adjusted on any social media until I have the help of my travelling daughter but it will still start from September!

Classes continue to be run on a drop in basis so you can choose what suits you week by week. The cost also stays the same, £5.00 for the hour classes and £6.00 for hour and quarter. Park yoga is by donation.

I am continuing with my studies and will be away on a course at the beginning of November so there will be no class 1/11/24. I will let you know again nearer the time!

Thank you for coming to classes, it’s wonderful to practice yoga together. Do ask if you have any questions, either in person or by email.

With best yoga steadying and grounding wishes,
Nicola

Hi Yogiis,
A very wet day conveniently timed for an email update.

There is no Lavington class tomorrow, Friday 3 May, I am away on a TRE (trauma release exercises) course training.

There will be classes on the Bank Holiday Mondays 6 and 27 May. However the hall at Northam is unavailable on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 May due to floor renovations so classes cancelled. I have decided to go away then so there will also be no park yoga either on Tuesday 21 May. There will be Lavington classes as usual that week.

Due to a number of reasons the times of the classes at Lavington are changing with the classes now being shortened to 1 hour 15 mins. This is happening from next week.

The new weekly schedule will look like this
Monday 9.30-10.30 Northam Hall and on zoom
Monday 11-12.00 Northam Hall, gentler class
Tuesday 9.15-10.00 Whatever the weather standing park yoga, Bideford.
Tuesday 10.30-11.30 Northam Hall
Wednesday 9.45-11.00 Lavington Hall, Bideford.
Friday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall Bideford.

I found a Barbour hat at the end of the Monday classes in Northam, please let me know if it’s yours.

Classes should run as usual through June. There are a few days I am away in July about which I will let you know in an email nearer the time.

Well done and thank you for taking the time to come to class, it’s still a joy to teach and learn. Do ask if you have any questions about your practice, I am usually at classes 20 mins before they start..

Hope you too are finding indoor activities whilst the garden gets watered!

With best yoga wishes,

Hi Lovely yogis,

All classes are as usual this coming week 18-22 March. Then I am away for a couple of days so no classes on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 March. The rest of the week and over Easter classes will be running as usual including Easter Monday, 1 April.

There are a couple of Fridays when I will be away 12 April and 3 May, the latter is a training course in Trauma Release exercises.(TRE) which should be interesting.

I hope you are enjoying your practice and finding it helpful in your life. Well done for making the time to come to class. Do ask if you have any questions, I am usually at class at least 20 mins before the start.

Happy Sunday, a few minutes ago I could say Happy Sunny Sunday but now a cloud has come along!
