Yoga with Edyta

31/01/2026

🧘 Restorative, therapeutic practices are still treated as the “lesser” branch of the yoga family.

Why do we trust strain more than listening?

🧘 Yoga is more than movement.
At its roots, it is a philosophical practice - one that asks for time, patience, and ongoing self-inquiry.

🧘 When yoga is placed back into its wider context, it becomes less about performance and more about relationships: with the body, the mind, and life itself.

When you want to follow the latest Instagram trend and this is the only photo of yourself from 2016 you can find on your phone. Mental. 😂

Forgive me, hubby 😘

Last week, as we began a new term of yoga classes, I asked my students to write down their answer to one simple question:

🧘 “From your own experience, what is yoga - as you would explain it to someone who has never practised?”

Their answers were thoughtful, honest, and quietly powerful. Their lived definition of yoga.

Below is what they shared.

🧘 What is yoga for you?

✨ I started teaching yoga in the UK here - in this very hall. 😍

In 2016, I approached Surrey Adult Learning (SAL) in Camberley and was accepted as a tutor. I taught there for five years. It taught me how to plan courses, keep on top of paperwork, and generally stay organised. Gave me a boost of confidence to work with people with various health issues.

💗 Some of the learners I met then are still coming to my classes at Heatherside Community Centre.!

SAL also features elsewhere in my story:

In 2014, I took their English classes while preparing for the First Certificate in English with , and came out with a B2/C1 grade. 💪

In 2015, I spent two terms learning upholstery - enough to sort out all my dining chairs and an armchair 😊

I even did a term of Portuguese before a trip to Lisbon.👌

✨ Quite a lot came from one place.

✨ The sound baths are not performances or sensory spectacles, but carefully held experiences where sound is used as a pathway into stillness rather than stimulation.

✨ Silence is part of the practice, held with the same care as sound.

✨ The 18th January Sound & Stillness session at .studio is now full. If you’d like to be added to the waiting list, you’re very welcome to reach out.

✨ Booking is open for (Sundays at 6:30pm):

🧘 In Yoga world, there is no shortage of advice - books, teachers, and little truths offered along the way. I’ve been fascinated by many

In the end, we have to rely on silence.
“We need to remove the clouds to see the sun.”

What supported me most was my regular, personal yoga practice. Books and teachers helped, of course. Still, my discernment doesn’t arise from the mind, but from the silence my practice creates space for.

🧘 In yoga slowing down is not a lack of progress but a doorway into deeper awareness.

When we release the urgency to rush through a pose - or a day - the practice begins to speak more clearly. The breath has space, sensations become more nuanced, and attention settles.

From this unhurried place, both movement and stillness gain richness, reminding us that interest, depth, and meaning often emerge when we allow ourselves to move at the pace of presence rather than pressure.

🧘 I am looking forward to seeing you back on the mat next week. Yoga for Wellness starts on Thursday the 8th of January, Yoga for Recovery on Tuesday the 13th of January. Booking is open on my website.

💗 Looking back on 2025 with gratitude 💗

For the lessons, the people, the courage it took to keep showing up in complex relationships, and the quiet moments in nature that mattered most.

Stepping into the new year with softness and trust. Happy New Year! 💗

🎉 While reflecting on my 2025, I noticed a quiet sense of discouragement around creating content on social media.

✨ As a user, it’s becoming harder to see posts from accounts I intentionally follow. So much of what appears is suggested content, adverts, and endless videos, and it often takes time before I find something that feels meaningful. I wonder if others feel this too.

✨ I often question whether the people I write with in mind are actually seeing these words. Algorithms change frequently, and visibility feels unpredictable. Much of the engagement seems to come from fellow yoga teachers rather than students or those who might benefit from this work.

✨ Some time ago, I made a conscious choice not to share videos of myself practising yoga. I can’t teach someone I don’t see, and my yoga practice is not the same as yours. For me, yoga exists in attention, relationship, and lived experience - far beyond what a screen can offer.

So, perhaps I'll quietly ask here:

😊 Do you still feel connected to what you see on social media?
😊 What kind of yoga content feels genuinely nourishing to you now?

I would love to hear your voice. Thank you. 🙏

Life is drawing a circle again, bringing my family together for Christmas. I’m very grateful for that gift 🎄 I’m also grateful to live on peaceful land, a little removed from the turbulence of the world. ✨ How lucky I am to have this quiet, nourishing pause in the middle of winter!

Wishing you all a restful Christmas and a gentle end-of-year celebration 💗 Thank you to every student, client, and friend who supported me this year, it’s been a truly meaningful exchange 🙏

🧘 Yoga classes restart on 8th January —- booking is now open on my website.
