Looking to build physical strength & stamina, improve flexibility & mobility, find mental calmness & clarity, develop soulful & conscious awareness and invite knowledge & wisdom into your daily life? About Adrianne at Indyoga
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and the first step to improve your well-being! Indyoga (after my cat Indy) offers group yoga classes & personal 1-2-1 yoga tuition for all levels, including yoga for beginners, in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire and online. We also offer Stand Up Paddle Boarding and SUP Yoga instruction, as well as Usui Reiki Therapy, which all help bring fulfilment, flow state, movement medicine, fitness, joy, mindfulness and relaxation to daily life. Our ethos is to guide you in your journey to wellness in the safest and most rewarding way possible; physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We wish to support anyone coming to the mat from injury or social prescribing, to complement existing sports & activities, to welcome a beginner to their first yoga class and encourage existing practitioners to step outside of their comfort zone to journey deeper in their own practice. I have no doubt you will find enjoyment, fun and challenge from yoga & movement as much as the billions of people around the world from this ancient mind and body philosophy as support in a modern world. Way back when I was 17, (over 36yrs ago), I began to train full time at professional dance schools. I sustained a serious back injury early on and I left college after 5yrs without a career path, very little spinal mobility and lower back pain. Instead of pursuing a career in dance and the performing arts I fell in to the frenetic and often stressful, corporate environment of live events. I never allowed my injury to stop me doing what I loved, including trekking high altitude mountains, water skiing to a competitive level and dancing my heels off in clubs. But… there was always something missing from my love of movement & dance and the back pain was constant. In 2011, I was recommended Yoga to relieve my pain and I was hooked! Yoga became my rehab and the injury became manageable. With the chronic pain diminishing as I came off prescription opiates, stopped spinal injections and reduced expensive physiotherapy. Yoga, or even regular functional movement, saved my back from surgery, addictive opiates and lower back pain! This was the missing key to maintain overall well-being and I am now pretty much pain free. I took my Yoga teacher training in 2017 with Tammy Mittell at Real Flow Yoga School, and since then I have completed further trainings to expand my knowledge. Now a 400hr registered Yoga instructor in Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Senior , Chair and Well Woman Yoga, my approach to teaching is positive & encouraging, fun & inclusive. Whilst supporting you to find the many benefits a regular yoga practice can bring, my teachings embody a balance between physical, mental and spiritual transformation through positive psychology as we introduce ‘Flow State’ to our lives on and off the mat. With over 25yrs years spent slalom water skiing, wakeboarding, wakeskating, wakesurfing, surfing and more recently SUP, it was a natural progression to take Yoga to the water and I am a SUP Yoga and BSUPA Stand Up Paddle Board Instructor. Visit the SUP Page to find out more. Visit our website Indyoga.UK or to get in touch by message on Facebook and I look forward to welcoming you to your mat or SUP very soon. Adrianne

🔺Let’s look at Trikonasana…. triangle pose.
1️⃣2️⃣ Part of the Sivananda 12 asana sequence, Trikonasana is the final posture, number 12.
❤️ It completes the spinal journey from crown to root and is one of only two standing postures in the sequence. Other than Surya Namaskar.
✅ Tips for Triangle:
1. It is not how far you reach the floor that makes the posture
2. Focus on creating length through the side body in a lateral flexion (side bend) without collapsing through the rib cage.
3. Hinge at the hip, rather than bend at the waist.
4. Roll the upper rib cage open to the sky, rather than roll forward to the floor.
5. Bend the front knee if the backs of the knee/leg feel tight. Keep the back leg straight, strong and engaged.
🧘🏻 We continue our Sivananda 12 practice in classes throughout September.

This is just one reason why I completed my course, 'Yoga through the lens of trauma and incarceration' with Prison Yoga Project
In this moving short film—produced by incarcerated residents in the prison’s media centre as they learn and apply video production skills—hear firsthand from Dr. van der Kolk, Licia Sky, and the men at San Quentin about:
- The hidden cost of trauma on the body
- How shame, violence, and silence shape generations
- The role of movement, breath, and mindfulness in healing
- How trauma-informed yoga is creating new paths to self-regulation and connection behind bars
You can also read Bessel Van der Kolks book, The Body keeps the score to understand more about how trauma is held within the body and how Yoga and movement practices can help.

☸️ Chakra-based affirmations can be powerful tools for cultivating positive thought processes by aligning your energy with specific intentions for each chakra.
💛 For example, affirmations for the solar plexus chakra focus on courage, manifestation, inner strength and moving toward change.
💬 By regularly incorporating these affirmations into your daily routine, you can work towards balancing your chakras and fostering a more positive and harmonious mindset.

As we move into September, there is always a sense of transition — the slowing light, the shift of seasons, and the invitation to balance outward busyness with inward reflection.
This month we embrace the rhythm of change, bringing older lineages and Hatha Yoga practices that remind us of yoga’s power to guide, steady, and transform in uncertain times.
One of our recurring themes is to return to your mat as if it were the first time, from a place of experience, but with a beginners mind. A Back to school, back to basics approach.
Whether through Yin Yoga’s quiet stillness, mindful movement in Vinyasa flow, or exploring the philosophy of Hatha yoga as a personalised path to healing, our classes highlight how yoga supports us not by erasing life’s challenges, but by deepening our capacity to meet them with strength and compassion.
This month is an invitation: to pause, to breathe, and to notice where you are in your own season of life. Whether you are seeking balance, courage, or inspiration, may I serve as both a teacher and compass, helping you return to the simple truth at the heart of yoga — union.

Hello and welcome to Indyoga, thank you for taking the time to visit. So, how did I find myself teaching yoga and what does Indyoga offer to you as a student of Yoga?
Way back over 30 years ago, I trained full time for five years to be a professional dancer, but having sustained a serious back injury very early in my training I left dance school without a career path, not much spinal mobility and with serious lower back pain! I continued to do the best I could with an injury, yet I worked in a stressful, corporate environment as a Freelance Project Event Director, I climbed mountains, took up water skiing and other wake and water sports to an intermediate level, but the pain always remained and there was always something missing from my love of dance & movement.
Several years ago a boyfriend introduced me to Yoga in the hope of easing my back pain and I was hooked right away! I attended classes in my local community and Yoga became part of my therapeutics and rehabilitation. The injury became manageable and the chronic pain began to diminish, allowing me to come off my prescription medication completely, as well as reducing spinal injections and expensive regular physio treatments. The reason I am telling you all this is not for sympathy or empathy, it is more to say that Yoga saved my back from what I had put it through dancing and my other demanding sports, interests and having a fulfilling life!! I now know that Yoga was the key fundamental practice that was needed in my life to reduce and maintain my physical and mental well-being… so here we are 7 years later as a ‘Real Flow Yoga’ and registered Yoga Alliance instructor… and Indyoga was born.
Indyoga offers community classes and private 1-2-1 sessions in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey and using the experience and knowledge I gained from managing large corporate events I found it a natural progression to arrange local classes, workshops and retreats. With the sole intention to help others feel better about themselves, to assist anyone coming to the mat from injury or illness, to encourage a beginner to come to their first class or motivate improving & intermediate students to maintain commitment in their existing yoga, my only hope is your fulfilment and enjoyment of yoga.
My approach to teaching is positive and encouraging, fun and inclusive. I am not only passionate about being mindful within your own body and movement, but finding your own path in Yoga, and supporting you to find ways to heal through the many benefits a regular practice can bring. I trained with the school of ‘Real Flow Yoga School' that embodies correct alignment to give a balanced sequence within our physical postures as well as mental and spiritual transformation through positive psychology, bringing 'Flow State' to our Yoga practice and our daily lives with emphasis on the cultivation of mindfulness, trust and authenticity. It is these 3 key qualities that unlock the flow state within us all! The 'Real Flow Yoga' ethos being 'Yoga that attunes us to the Flow of Life'.
I am also a qualified Reiki practitioner and would love to work with anyone that would benefit from the healing and relaxing practice of Reiki.
I am sure that you will enjoy all the wonderful aspects that Yoga can bring you and where you seek to find fulfilment. I welcome you to your mat and look forward to seeing you in class soon.
Adrianne
