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.

Yoga is back on this week after my holiday where I did lots of walking. As a result, I really benefited from doing yoga with lots of hip stretches each morning to ease any tightness and I thought I would bring that to this week's practice.

Doing lots of sitting, or walking, can lead to tight hips which, in turn, can lead to back pain. So in this week's practice we're going to work into the hips, particularly the psoas muscle - our main hip flexor and the only muscle that connects the spine to the legs.

On a physical level, a tight or weak psoas muscle can lead to poor posture which can affect the whole body. And on an emotional level, the psoas muscle is one of the first to respond and activate when we are stressed and in fight or flight mode. Helping it to release helps us move into rest and relaxation mode.

In this week's practice, I thought we'd focus on twists which are great for improving spinal mobility, releasing tension and stimulating the internal organs.

It's common for the back to stiffen up, particularly if we're in jobs that might keep us seated for a long time. Practising twists helps to keep the back moving and also strengthens the supporting muscles helping to protect against back pain.

As we twist, we also massage the internal organs and stimulate our digestion.

Below we see Solomon twisting to look up to the upper branches of the tree 😉

Also a reminder that after this week, I am away for two weeks (10th and 17th) returning on Tuesday 24th.

It's been lovely to have a feel of Spring today with the sun out and the weather a little warmer. It made me feel like it's time to come out of hibernation and enjoy the new growth coming up everywhere. And with that in mind my focus this week is all about space - physical and mental.

In the winter we sometimes feel like curling up small and keeping warm whereas now maybe is the time to stretch out and open ourselves up.

So we'll be exploring poses that enable us to use the space around us and also playing with breath and how we can use that to create mental space.

Below we see Solomon creating physical and mental space for himself as he settles on the sofa and reads his book 😉

This week we reach the fifth chakra - vishiddha also called the throat chakra. Acting as the bridge between the heart and the mind, this chakra is said to facilitate the expression of personal truth, creativity and clear communication..

We'll be working with poses that work into the neck and shoulder areas and experimenting with different breathing techniques.

Below we see Elijah working into his throat region as he tucks his chin to focus on spreading the butter on his toast 😉

Continuing our journey up the chakras, this week we reach anahata chakra - also called the heart chakra - a perfect one to work with as Valentine's Day goes by.

Associated with unconditional love, when the energy is flowing freely, it enables us to have healthy relationships with others and to be able to trust and feel comfortable with vulnerability. If it is blocked, it is linked to loneliness and an inability to connect.

On a physical level we'll be opening up the chest and working with back bends - a practice that is energising and uplifting.

Below we see Solomon working with his back bends to see the squirrel high up in the tree 😉

As we continue our journey up the chakras, this week is the turn of manipura chakra - the third or navel chakra. Situated behind the solar plexus, it is linked with the colour yellow and the element of fire.

This energy centre is associated with your self-esteem, sense of purpose and personal identity. It is also connected to our digestive system and metabolism, and our inner fire.

When the energy is flowing freely through manipura we can feel transformative energy and clarity, but when it is blocked we can experience digestive problems and feelings of anger.

Below we see Solomon stretching out in his box to create space around his digestive organs and allowing the manipura energy to flow 😉

Continuing our journey up the chakras, this week we'll be focusing on the second chakra - swadisthana. Associated with the colour orange and the element water, this energy centre is all about sensuality and creativity. When it is in balance and the energy flowing freely through it, we can expect our relationship with ourselves, and others and the world to feel harmonious, pleasureful and nurturing.

We'll be working with fluid flows and postures that target the sacral area.

Below we see Solomon and Elijah connecting with water as they explore their swadisthana chakra

As we're near the start of a new year I thought I'd return to the chakras. These are part of the subtle body - what we can't see - and are thought to be spinning discs of energy that climb up the spine. By practising different yoga poses we help to keep the energy flowing through the chakras which in turn helps us achieve emotional and physical well-being.

This week we'll start with the muladhara chakra - the root chakra - which is connected to the earth element and the colour red. When the energy is flowing freely, it enables us to feel secure, confident and strong in the world creating a foundation for the other chakras above it.

In our practice, we'll focus on our connection to the earth beneath us and how that helps us to feel strong and stable.

Below we see Solomon rooting himself to the ground as he watches the squirrel 😉

Happy New Year all!

I thought we'd bring in the New Year with a strong warrior practice - creating inner heat, alongside opening up our hips and shoulders and developing strength in the core and legs.

Virabhadra - after whom all the warrior poses are named - symbolises our inner ability to overcome ego and ignorance which felt like a good way to start the year 🙂

Below we see Solomon connecting to nature, symbolising the grounding effect of the warrior poses 😉

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 😉

30/11/2025

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 😏
