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.

⛅️ There’s something hopeful in this noticeable shift of softer temperatures, lighter evenings and less water falling from the sky, it may seem that winter is starting to loosen its grip.
🫶🏼 Maybe we can follow its lead.
🪢 Often we can hold on too tightly during the winter months; to worries, to pressures, to things we can’t control.
☀️ But as the season eases there’s an open invitation to loosen our grip of negative feelings and become open to let go of the s**t we don’t need and find the s**t we do need.
☸️ A cycle of renewal and growth!
🤗 Release! Let go! A gentle thaw toward our own spring awakening!

Meet your practice where you’re at!
Take this posture for example, Natarajasana/Dancer. 4 variations of the same posture that offer challenge for everyone.
Some days my chronic back pain is so bad that I have to step back from more dynamic postures a little bit, particularly back bends, in a way that feels right on the day. Finding alternatives that still challenge and work for me!
Sometimes my back feels like it’s someone else’s and therefore I can take on the world. I can be more explorative and I am able to push myself a bit further and go deeper! These are the days I long for, but they are few and far between.
Not all days are the same! But, I certainly don’t let pain stop me from doing what I enjoy or love!
Pain is not simple, direct messages to the brain, but a complex, personal experience in response to possible danger. Pain is, however, a warning signal to protect the body! The brain evaluates sensory input alongside present context, emotions and memories to decide if the pain is necessary and valid.
Pain is not a message to stop doing what you’re doing altogether, but be mindful and begin to ease off. You’re then meeting your practice where you are at in that moment!
Your physical, energetic and emotional bodies all react together, to send signals of protection!
Don’t let them scare you off, but become more aware of your ability to listen and trust those sensory experiences, acknowledge and take action!
This reaction and action could very well be interpreted in to daily life situations that often cause us emotional or mental pain from bad memories and traumatic experiences. Believing that you are, hopefully and most often, safe in the first instance is the hardest challenge, then reacting from a place of calm and taking necessary action with a clear head and trusting heart.

🔥 ‘Step in to the fire of self-discovery. This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not’. A famous quote by Advaita Master Mooji encourages the transformative and often challenging process of self-inquiry to reveal one’s true self, without ego.
🟡 Functions of the solar plexus; a complex network of nerves in the upper abdomen, act as the body’s internal command centre regulating stress response, blood circulation, digestion and vital organ control.
💛 The Solar plexus chakra is governed by the fire element and therefore embodies the same qualities of personal power, transformation, action and energy.

🥞 Pancake Day! Shrove Tuesday! Day before lent!
Now, I’m not religious, but today is a great example of christian traditions which have become more commonly celebrated in modern days with meaning behind them.
3️⃣ facts about Shrove Tuesday:
1. Shriving means to confess sins before lent, spiritual cleansing and repentance
2. Pancakes use up the lenten ingredients that were not allowed during the following 40 days, hence the disciplined effort of fasting or giving up something
3. There are variations of similar traditions around the world. Omelette day in Spain and Bannock Night in Scotland.
🙏🏼 So really, today is the day to ‘repent before lent’ and consider giving up something for 40 days.
💃🏽 I’m not going to give anything up for lent, but I am going to add something in…. Some sort of daily movement practice! Every single day for 40 days!
❓What are you going to fast from/give up or add in for 40 days?
🐢 BTW, this is Pancake pose, or Kurmasana, Tortoise posture.

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
