Yoga4anyone Yoga classes - for all ages and abilities - no experience necessary I believe that yoga is for anyone - whatever your age or ability.

It can bring huge benefits both in body - improving strength and flexibility - and in mind - alleviating stress and anxiety. I want to help you spend an hour of your time focusing inwards, being in the present moment, and increasing your awareness, understanding, and appreciation of your own body and mind. Come and join me for fun, challenge and relaxation and enjoy the difference yoga can bring to your life. I teach both at the Greenway Centre in Southmead and outdoor classes at Henleaze Lake.

With the winter solstice coming up this Sunday, I thought we'd mark that in our practice. The solstice marks the transition from the darkening of days, to them beginning to lengthen. We'll work with the cycles in our practice moving from inhale to exhale, and from closed poses to opening up.

Below we see Solomon and Elijah celebrating the season and observing the contrast of the darkness of the tree with the brightness of the baubles 😉🎄

In this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on heart openers. On a physical level these are a great antidote to poor posture, releasing tension in the chest and shoulders. In addition, they help boost lung capacity and can have an energising and uplifting effect.

On an emotional level, they help to open us up and release emotions as well as enabling feelings of compassion and connection.

Below we see Elijah opening up his heart as he experiences the joy of riding on his horse 😉

As we move into December, it can become quite a hectic time, so in this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on developing a sense of calm. We'll use the breath and inward-looking poses with long holds to help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system promoting our 'rest and digest' state.

Below we see Solomon taking a moment in the Christmas market to pause and reflect and induce a sense of calm 😏

Following on from last week's focus on the neck and shoulders, in this week's practice I thought we'd explore alignment of the spine. Proper alignment is key for optimal movement, function and balance, while poor alignment can cause pain and mobility issues.

We'll tune into the different ranges of movement of the spine and look at how we can protect it and help to keep it well aligned.

Below we see Solomon and Elijah standing up tall with strong spines like the Christmas trees 🎄😉

In this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on our neck, shoulders, and arms. Sitting with our heads bent forwards as we look at screens - something a lot of us do too much of! - causes a lot of the strain on the neck and shoulders. The weight of the head puts extra strain on the neck, and our shoulders tend to round forwards, bringing us out of our natural alignment.

So we'll focus on loosening the tension in our necks and opening out our shoulders, as well as building strength and flexibility in the arms.

Below we see Solomon easing the tension in his neck as he turns to look at the lead in his hand

Things have been pretty busy for me recently, and I've found myself a few times with my head feeling like it's going to burst, which is the perfect time to take a step back and practise a bit of mindful movement.

Using activity as a base for mindfulness can help us find anchors for our attention. Whether it's the feeling of the ground beneath our feet or the movement of the breath through our body, we can tap into these sensations and allow some of the mental chatter to disperse. And if the chatter returns, we can go back to our anchor to bring us back to the moment.

So this week we're going explore using mindful movement in our practice to help bring about a feeling of both physical and mental well-being.

Below we see Solomon tuning into the sensations created as he leans into the tree

In this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on twists, which are great for building strength in the core. They can also help increase the mobility of the spine and aid digestion.

Yoga is always about the breath, but I thought this week we'd particularly focus in on the different ways we can use the breath, both in our practice and in our wider lives.

The breath is a fantastic tool to support us in so many ways, including to allow us to self-regulate, to release tension, to aid movement, to create heat, to bring about balance, and to be mindful, and we'll use our practice to explore all these different powers of the breath.

Below we see Solomon taking a moment to breathe, and to absorb the smells and sounds around him as he self-regulates in the long grasses 😉

In this week's practice, I thought we'd work into our hip flexors. Open hips flexors are important for preventing lower back, hip, and knee pain, improving posture and balance, and generally enhancing our mobility.

Hips are also linked to emotional release through the sacral (swadisthana) chakra.

Below we see Elijah using is hip flexibility to crouch down low and examine his reflection in the puddle 😉

As the weather cools, I thought we'd use this week's practce to explore how we can use yoga to create inner heat. Using breath techniques - such as bhastrika breathing (sometimes called fire breath) - not only creates heat and energy but is also said to strengthen the lungs and aid cardiovascular health.

We'll also work with core strength and balance - engaging these muscles again creates heat from the inside.

Below we see Elijah creating inner heat on the rocking horse.

05/10/2025

This week I thought we'd explore the concept of pratyahara. Meaning to withdraw from the senses, this is one of the eight limbs of yoga and is sometimes seen as the bridge between the more physical/external practices such as the postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama), and the more spiritual/internal practices such as concentration (dharana) and meditation (dhyana).

The aim is to stop the mind being distracted by external stimuli and instead to find a mindful detachment where you experience sensory information without labeling it or judging it. Practising pratyahara can help alleviate some of the negative emotions we may experience when we attach stories and reactions to our experiences.

During our practice, we'll try to focus less on external stimuli - maybe even closing the eyes at times - and tuning inwards to observe without reacting.

Below we see Elijah mindfully observing the line of leaves in the water without judgment 😉

In this week's practice I thought we'd focus on isometric contraction. This is when the muscles produce force and tension, but remain the same length as opposed to shortening or lengthening - something we do a lot when we hold a static pose in yoga.

Isometric contraction is great for building strength while stabilising the joints, and it can also help improve blood flow in reduce blood pressure. We'll explore how we can use different techniques to actively increase the isometric contraction within a pose.

Below we see Elijah standing strong engaging his muscles in isometric contraction as he ponders which way to go in the maze
