This weekend is Spring Equinox🌷☀️; where everything hangs in perfect balance - light and dark, yin and yang. That wonderful time of year when the days start to get longer, nature springs back to life, the birds are singing and the buds begin to unfurl with spectacular colour.

In tonight's flows will follow this theme of balance, moving through a plethora of different balance postures.

Balancing is a great way to build physical strength but to also cultivate mental clarity. Often all other thoughts dissolve away as we try to focus and not fall! But falling is part of the journey; it gives us the opportunity to let go of the need to achieve and to just be. No goals, no expectations, no success or failure, just playful enthusiasm to give it a go!

Finding the balance between effort and ease. Of movement and stillness. Reminding us that we need balance in our lives to thrive and to nurture ourselves.

If you are curious but have never tried yoga, embrace the sense of new beginnings this spring and come along to give it a try! We are a lovely bunch of friendly yogis in a supportive, welcoming setting.

Both the slow flow and vinyasa classes follow the same theme, but we linger a little longer in poses in the slow flow and we take more time through the transitions whereas the vinyasa flow is a faster pace and includes some more challenging postures. Everyone welcome! Anything questions, pop me a message 💚

No classes today folks. I have been unwell and I am taking time to give my body a well deserved rest.

Hoping to be back on the mat soon. I will keep the booking schedule updated 💚

We have all encountered poses we find challenging... This Eagle pose is one for me! It's a balance with a wrapping of arms and legs that I find especially challenging due to my short, thick limbs... when I first encountered this in a class, I gazed around the room in wonder at the lovely balanced, wrapped bodies while I wobbled and squeezed, wondering what I was doing wrong.

It took me a while to realise that no matter how much I practise, due to my anatomy, I will never be able to get a full hook of the foot behind the calf. And then it took me a while longer to realise that is perfectly fine! Why do I need to?

Over time and practise I have developed an acceptance and gratitude for my body and everything it can do, rather than fixating on the things it can't. Eagle still isn't a favourite and I have to consciously choose to practise it (because it never shows up in my practise otherwise!) but it has taught me a lesson to let go of needing to be able to do everything, but it doesn't mean you can't give it a go anyway.

And it has shown me that often we learn more lessons from our struggles than the things that come with ease. And we can take this off our mat into life.

What do we avoid because it brings up feelings of fear, failure, inadequacy? Can we face them anyway and accept the outcome without judgement and frustration?

Our practise helps us observe and reflect on how we do things, allowing us to develop effective tools that ultimately improve our lives so next time you encounter your nemesis, shift your perspective, shush your inner critique, give it a go and remind yourself of how amazing you already are 🙂 x

Our hips are a wonderful support for us in daily life, and they often tell us a story of how we have been living.

Too much sitting can lead to tightness, as can overuse from lots of walking/running etc.

Our hips can also become tight as a result of emotional tension and stress; our subconscious reactions to our environment can be physically stored as tension in our body. Maybe we carry around judgements, grievances and resentments that ultimately only serve to make us suffer more.

Hip tightness can also be a sign that the hips need strengthening; hip weakness is a lack of force production that frequently manifests as tightness.

So as well as stretching the hips, to maintain functional hip health, we also need to strengthen the hips, which is crucial for stabilizing the pelvis and spine, which alleviates lower back, hip, and knee pain while preventing injuries.

So tonight, we will flow through some hip strengthening for stability and some juicy hip stretches to release tension, including lunges, lizard and pigeon (single and double).

We will notice resistance and give ourselves permission to release tightness.

Observing that in a similar way to releasing physical tension, we can cultivate kindness towards ourselves mentally; finding the courage to set-down what is no longer serving us so we can lighten our load and bring our focus back to the fullness of life in the here and now with a sense of ease and peace x

Tonight we will play with lots of different variations of Vasisthasana (side plank).

We won't be on the wrists the whole time so if you have any injuries or issues in the wrists then there will be lots of options to modify 🙂

Vasistha means "most excellent" in Sanskrit so we will be channelling these positive vibes as we strengthen the wrists, forearms, shoulders spine and abdominal muscles.

This is a great pose to prepare the body for more advanced arm balances and needs focus to find balance...and calm to keep it!

These more challenging yoga poses can’t be forced, they will arise when the mind and body are ready. So we will keep bringing our thoughts to our breath and to the power of the present moment. We will let go of any need to achieve a certain outcome and simply be in the now and stay present with the challenge where we will find calmness and grace x

Begin your yoga journey in a relaxed and friendly group setting where you can build confidence and familiarity of the yoga basics. The beginners courses are designed for those new to yoga, or anyone returning to the practice after a break. Whether you’ve just started exploring yoga or want to build more confidence in a class setting, this course will guide you through the essential building blocks of a strong, safe, and sustainable yoga practice without judgement or expectations, just friendly support and tools you can use to maintain your wellness routine.

You’ll benefit from individual attention in a supportive group setting – with time and space to ask questions and grow your confidence step by step. Once you’ve completed a beginners course, you will have the experience, confidence and knowledge to join any other class on the schedule and start to build a regular yoga practice.

What you’ll learn:
• Foundational yoga postures
• Breathwork to calm the mind and energise the body
• How to link breath with movement
• The components of a sun salutation
• Safe alignment and posture modifications
• Guided relaxation and beginner-friendly meditation

This style emphasizes physical strength, flexibility, and coordination, while the rhythmic breath-movement connection helps to calm the mind, promote presence in the moment and cultivates mental focus and a meditative “meditation in motion” experience. Each class includes a wide variety of postures that will stretch and strengthen the whole body. Each week introduces new concepts and builds upon previous lessons, with modifications offered to suit different bodies so you can build confidence and familiarity.

The course will introduce the Slow Flow style, which is more gentle-paced and over the weeks we will build up to the Vinyasa Flow style, in which the pace is slightly faster and postures are held for less time. At the end of the course, you will have the confidence to join either a Slow Flow or Vinyasa Flow class.

We are continuing our focus on the back body tonight, with a theme of balance and strength 💪

A couple of weeks ago we focussed on hip mobility and strengthening the core to support and stabilise the lower back.

Last week we focussed on stretching out the front body, including shoulders and quads so we could deepen our backbends.

In tonight's flow we will balance out and strengthen the back body. Lots of sitting and rounding forward may over-stretch the muscles of your back and could lead to back pain.

Also, in dynamic styles of yoga such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow there is a lot of pushing action in the chaturangas, which is great for strengthening the front of the shoulders (pecs, anterior deltoids). But in yoga there isn't a huge amount of pulling action (which you would get from activities such as rock climbing, rowing etc) so this may mean there could be an imbalance in the shoulder girdle and your back body could be underworked.

So tonight's flow will balance out any underworking/over-stretch by working the back body with a scattering of locust poses and backwards planks...maybe with the use of weights (or blocks if you are in studio) or if you are home, a couple of tins of beans!

See you on the mat! 💚🌟

Deeply relax and reset with an evening of restorative yoga on Tuesday February 17th & Tuesday March 17th (book via linktr.ee in bio)

When the pace of life is fast, we may find our minds and bodies speed up to match it. Our minds start to race, we can feel overwhelmed, and drained.

Making sure we take some time out to rest is vital to promote wellness, physically and mentally. Practising restorative yoga can help to balance our busy lifestyles and has an enormous capacity to heal stress-related physical and emotional issues.

Benefits

✨️ combats the physical and mental effects of everyday stress, and eases common ailments such as headaches, backaches, anxiety, and insomnia

✨️Deeply relaxes the body and develops flexibility by softening and relaxing

✨️Stills the mind

✨️Improves capacity for healing and balancing

✨️Balances the nervous and immune system

✨️Boosts immunity

✨️Enhances your mood

Slow down and open your body through deep breathing and passive stretching using props like bolsters, blankets and blocks to completely support the body in poses that we can stay in for up to 10 minutes. We will hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour. The postures will restore health and vitality and can be so restful you will feel like you have had a sleep 😴

05/02/2026

Tonight we are going to stretch out the front body with some backbending 💚

Stretching the front body using backbends helps to:
✨️ improve posture and spinal health
✨️ reduce back and neck pain
✨️ strengthen the back muscles
✨️ Improve breathing
✨️ Improve circulation to organs
✨️ Boost energy and reduce fatigue
✨️ Relieve anxiety

And its also a really effective way of contracting the modern tendency to hunch forward over devices, the steering wheel, food...!

We will stretch out the hip flexors, quads, upper back and shoulders so we can progressively deepen our backbends (only if it's comfortable!) and maybe work towards upward facing bow or wheel (urdhva dhanurasana) creating a smooth arch of the back to feel the beautiful expansion of the front-body, opening the heart and lungs for rich deep breaths leaving us feeling energised and confident 🥰

A lot of us can suffer with lower back pain and there can be a myriad of different causes; whether it's a specific injury, or weakness from sitting in a chair all day, or tightness due to other sporting activities.

Yoga can help relieve pain and strain and build stability to support you to move with ease. Tonight's flows will aim to stabilise your lower back by increasing hip mobility and building strength around the lumbar spine, while keeping the natural curve of the spine.

The key with a practise like this is consistency; one class wont necessarily solve all, but bringing an awareness of the way we move and the different activities that may make demands on the spine and and hips allows us to care for them in a more mindful way 💪

If/when you were contemplating setting intentions at the start of the year, did you find yourself thinking "I'll be happy when"...when I lose a few pounds, achieve that big goal, have kids, find the right partner, get that promotion, pay off the mortgage, solve all my problems etc? Our culture encourages us to set goals at the turn of the new year and then spend the rest of the year working hard to "achieve" happiness.

But there is a big problem with this.

Happiness isn’t a goal you can check off a list. It’s the byproduct of living a life that is wholehearted and in alignment with your values.

According to research, the best way to find happiness is not to ask yourself what goals in the future will give you what you want to be happy, but to ask yourself what your values are in the present and align yourself with them in daily life, through your thoughts, speech and actions.

Then practise and repeat! Taking each moment as it comes, staying true to your own values, to who you are.

The idea that happiness is a goal you can achieve runs so deep within our culture these days. But not only does it defer happiness perpetually away from the now and into the future, but it also keeps you in a constant state of striving, pushing and grasping.

So, instead of asking yourself

❓️What do I need to do so I can finally be happy?”,

ask

❓️“How can I live in alignment with my values today so I can be true to myself and find happiness in this moment?”

Forge your path by focusing on what matters most to you in life ✨️ The pic captures a moment on my happy path, out in nature with my dogs 🥰

Happiness does not come from getting what you want, it comes from knowing who you are deeply and being who you are fully.

It can take time to break habitual thought and behaviour patterns, and it takes awareness and practise. So in tonight's flows we will build a sequence, practise and repeat. Slowly building on the repetition until it feels familiar and taking this practise and repeat philosophy into how you live life; be authentic to yourself with your thoughts, speech and actions - practise and repeat 💚
