*This is a good read...*
Those of you that have been practising yoga with me for a while, will have heard me talk a lot about the importance of posture (how we hold ourselves in space, how we take up space, how we move within space) for better emotional and physical well-being. This article explains brilliantly why it's so important.
How can we change the mind by changing the body? How can we make a different person by changing the structure of the body? How can we make different physiology by releasing tension patterns in the soft tissues, which in turn changes how the body is held in space? These are the questions Tom Myers has dedicated his life to exploring.
Professions like osteopathy, chiropractors, physical therapists, athletic coaches, and yoga teachers are all working within this realm. They are looking at how the body is held in space and how misalignment and maladaptation of our structural shape causes numerous health issues, both physical, mental and emotional.

Join me every Monday lunchtime (12-1) at The Yoga Loft, where we explore using gravity, breath, postures and movement to undo tension and unwanted habits in the body, working towards a stronger, more resilient body and mind.

How do we foster health, well-being and healing? Medicine has one approach, primarily using antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and surgery to cure disease. Traditional types of medicine apply another approach, relying on herbs and other natural remedies to restore balance and activate the body’s own he...

Our yoga practice is a 'work in' not a 'work out'. What are we looking for when we strive for a pose? Validation? Praise? Admiration? Often we are only left with feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, frustration, and in the worst circumstances we are left with an injury. What we should practice is sensitivity, openness, curiosity, acceptance, kindness. All good skills to support you in your practice and life.

For all we know, the guy in this photograph is pictured at the very moment of enlightenment, uniting with the wider cosmos via his body. So it goes without saying that there is nothing wrong with w…

Sad news from Pune this morning that Geeta Iyengar has died in her sleep. She was eldest daughter of B.K.S. Iyengar and a formidable teacher. May she rest in peace.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of B.K.S. Iyengar. So today we’ll practice giving thanks to him and his family for all they have given yoga.

Hard to let such a perfectly placed ‘ledge’ go unused. And hope the dog didn’t mind me using his lead!

Interesting article on Iyengar Yoga.
https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/wellbeing/hate-yoga-that-s-too-hard-iyengar-makes-it-easy-on-your-body-1.134922

Iyengar is all about making yoga easier so it is accessible for all, but don't expect a chatty, touchy-feely experience.
