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.

In this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on the psoas muscle. One of the main hip flexors, the psoas is the muscle that connects the torso to the lower body and is key in all our movements and in supporting balance and posture.

Sometimes called the muscle of the soul (holding our emotions), it is a key muscle in the stress response as it tightens in preparation for flight. However, if it remains tight it can pull on the lower back causing pain. Working with postures that help to stretch and release the psoas can help to relieve that tension and maybe also some pent-up emotions 🙂

Below we see Solomon exercising his psoas as he runs with Brody 😏

As it looks like the temperatures are going up again this week, I thought we'd focus on a practice aimed at bringing down our inner temperature. This can be both our physical temperature, but also soothing if we're a bit emotionally frazzled.

We'll be working with inward-looking postures and mindful breathing to encourage a feeling of coolness and calm.

In this week's practice, our focus will be on vishuddha chakra which is often seen as the link between the physical and the spiritual. Situated in the area of the throat, it is associated with communication, self-expression and truth.

When it is blocked and it can lead to low elf-esteem and either an inability to speak up for ourselves or a tendency to overspeak without listening to others. When the energy is flowing freely through it enable us to express ourselves clearly and also to listen deeply.

Below we see Solomon exploring the art of communication with his stick

In this week's practice, we'll be channelling our manipura chakra which represents our energy powerhouse. When it is blocked it can make us stagnant and quick to anger, but when the energy is flowing feely, it allows us to establish our personal identity - who we are and why we are here!

Situated in the region of the solar plexus, we will work with twists and core strengthening poses to ignite our inner fire!

In this week's practice, we're progressing up the chakras and focusing on swadisthana - the second chakra. Said to govern emotional behaviour and sensuality, when it is in balance it helps us to overcome negative qualities and experience clarity.

Situated in the pelvic area, swadisthana is linked to the element of water which, like our emotions, can be calm an tranquil, or turbulent and stormy!

Below we see Elijah working into his pelvic area as he climbs up the ladder of the climbing frame.

Having just spent a long weekend outdoors at a festival, I thought it would be nice to do a grounding practice this week and explore our connection to the earth and the stability and security it gives us.

A grounding practice is also said to stimulate the muladhara chakra - the first of 7 energy centres that are situated up the spine. If the energy flows freely through muladhara it is said to promote stability, confidence, energy and strength.

Below we see Solomon exploring his connection to the ground beneath him 😉

In this week's practice I thought we'd focus on pelvic stability - having strong and flexible muscles in the pelvic region is crucial for many day to day activities such as sitting, standing and walking. If the pelvis is out of alignment, it can lead to pain in the lower back, hips, groin and thighs as well impacting our mobility.

We'll work with poses that engage all the gluteus muscles as well as the pelvic floor, piriformis, and the deep abdominal muscles.

Below we see Elijah working into his pelvic strength as he half squats, half kneels to colour in his picture 😉

This week I listened to a podcast which talked about distress tolerance. The idea is that if we want to make changes in our lives, it is necessary to get out of our comfort zones and sit with discomfort. As this is often the case when we face challenges in our lives, I thought it would be an interesting concept to explore in our yoga practice. So we'll play with maybe getting a little deeper into a stretch or holding a pose a little longer than we might usually and see how we can use the breath as a tool to help us manage that discomfort.

Below we see Solomon showing his granny how to sit with being wet having been caught in a downpour 😉

In this week's practice, our focus is going to be on the upper body, strengthening the muscles at the top of the back as we open up the heart - often an uplifting and energising practice.

We'll also be working into the shoulders and neck releasing any pent up tension.

Below we see Solomon squeezing his shoulder blades together to hold the ice cream up as he gazes into the distance 😉

In this week's practice I thought we'd embrace the concept of space. Sometimes when we're feeling anxious, nervous or tired we can retreat into ourselves. We'll explore how we can use postures to expand and fill the space around us, and also use the breath to create space in both body and mind.

Below we see Elijah taking in the space around him as he eats his doughnut 😏

This week's practice is all about finding moments of stillness. We often have busy lives and it's good to just stop and be present, tune into the breath and sensations in the body, and re-set.

Or another way to look at it is to focus on being rather than doing.

Below we see Solomon taking a moment to just pause and enjoy the sensation of the ice lolly in his mouth. 🧘😏

With Easter sometimes being a time of indulgence foodwise, I thought in this week's practice we'd focus on twists which are great for stimulating the digestion. Aside of this, twists rotate the spine and stretch the muscles of the back, helping to retain the spine's natural range of motion.

We'll explore both seated and standing twists, and open and closed twists as we stoke our inner fire!

Below we see Solomon gently twisting to gaze up at the light in the tree above
