Toward Yoga

A big shout out to all the lovely yoga peeps who have donated, thank you so, so much for your generosity!

I do a fundraising workshop most years, but we've never raised this much money before. I think Parkinson's touches many people's lives and I also think that David was so universally loved and admired for his can-do attitude.

David was a huge fan of yoga, practicing for over 10 years for a few hours each week, finding that it helped enormously with the challenges that Parkinson's brought.

He was one of the kindest men I have ever met, and, as a student, he was dedicated, determined, courageous and always made us laugh. He was a regular in most classes and is missed beyond measure.

On Saturday 18th April I am teaching a yoga workshop that is open to everyone, from 10am until 12:30pm at The Emmaus Centre near St James's Church in Thorley, Bishop's Stortford and then there is a cake sale from 12:30pm until 1pm - with all proceeds going to Parkinson's UK.

If anyone would like to come along just email Toward Yoga@gmail.com or call 07427596961

So, this happened today! Kevin 🦇 seems to be awake and clinging on to my house, when he should be fast asleep for the winter. Thankfully Bat Conservation Trust have info on their website re when a bat is in need of rescue and exactly how to rescue. So now Kevin is in a lovely box and has been taken by bat ambulance 🚑 to a bat carer 💕

Best part of this story is that when you ring up the Bat conservation trust they ask if you are ringing to report a bat crime - which tickled me. Yes, yes, I know it's serious business people, and obviously I care, the wording just tickled me.

Well done Bat Conservation Trust, you were brilliant! Hopefully all Kevin needs is some food, safety and he will be released when it's warmer 🤞😍

Hi lovely people of Dunmow and nearby... I need lots of big pieces of card/cardboard for my next art project (delivery boxes, anything like that 👍) and outdoor paint (fence paint, paint for external woodwork, tester pots, big pots, all colours).
If anyone has any they no longer need, please let me know.
Thanks so much! Xx

This Saturday – 20th September

Standing Poses yoga workshop – 3 PLACES STILL AVAILABLE

10am til 12 noon

Dunmow St Mary’s Primary School

Standing yoga poses build foundational strength, improve stability and balance, enhance posture by aligning the spine and strengthening back muscles, and increase flexibility in the hamstrings, hips, and shoulders.

They also boost focus, stamina, and discipline by requiring a steady gaze, promoting mindfulness, and engaging core muscles for stability. These poses provide a solid basis for a yoga practice, and improve circulation and the fluidity of energy within the body.

Bring your yoga chair if you have one (you can borrow one if not)
