It’s years now since I opened Carlisle Therapies - 2012 - and since our first website was designed.

I’ve had so many people asking me why the buttons don’t link to pages (they didn’t in the olden days!) that I have redesigned it.

It’s now up to date with all our current treatments listed.

It’s almost a year now since I bought my little house and it’s shaping up to be a lovely home. It does however still need central heating installed before we dip into autumn 🍂 I’m hoping someone can recommend a reliable plumber who can install oil central heating? Thank you 🙏

Rainy days are great for planning. A stones throw from my new-old house is The Bell Church Institute of Boltongate …which I estimate will fit 10 yoga mats! Good news for new yoga and mindfulness classes and workshops from this Autumn 🍂 🧘‍♀️

Already! A fallen leaf 🍂 on my garden wall … I can sense a seasonal shift …both externally and internally. How are feeling energetically? Could it be time for a seasonal re-tune? tCM acupuncture appointments available in Carlisle …and hopefully this time next year at the bottom of my garden in Boltongate 🙏

I’m thinking about running a 4 week Absolute Beginner Yoga course after the school holidays, Thursdays 5.30 - 6.30 …gauging interest? It would cover basic philosophy, pranayama and poses …so you feel more confident in a general class. Beautiful tree pose by my lovely niece Anna on Dartmoor

My walk into work feels increasingly like my vocation is like spitting in the wind. Gigantic glasses of sugar loaded fizzy drinks and now a gaudy mini market promoting “Just Vape.” Lowther Street is neglected

Ruth Irving BA (hons) PGCE Dip Ac MBAcC YTT traditional acupuncture, acupressure, yoga

Why do I have so many letters after my name? Because my evolution to yoga teacher has taken some time.

I have been a professional acupuncturist (tCM) and body-worker for nearly 15 years. As lifestyle changes are integral to a tCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) approach to health and wellbeing I set up yoga classes from my holistic centre Carlisle Therapies over five years ago - to encourage my patients to include mindful movement and breathwork into their lives. I have completed 300 hours yoga teaching training (YTT) specialising in Slow Flow yoga. Normally I run classes and workshops from Carlisle city and Keswick. In response to the current pandemic I now also provide an online platform for my classes, which include acu-yoga - a unique blend of the ancient healing traditions of acupuncture and yoga.

a yoga class for every body

Yoga means "union" of mind and body through breath. It is more than simply stretching and differs from a fitness class.

All my yoga classes include breath-work (pranayama), yoga flow (asanas) and relaxation (shavasana). Yogic mindful movement with the breath helps build up physical strength without injury, increase flexibility and calm the mind. People of all ages and those who cannot get up and down from a mat can hopefully benefit from my Beginners Chair Yoga video.

If you are completely new to yoga then I recommend my popular Absolute Beginners Yoga 5 week course. New dates coming soon. I also offer private virtual yoga tuition.

acupressure for health

Acupuncture without needles, all you need is your hands! Normally I include acupressure into my face-to-face acupuncture and massage treatments.

Now, I am sharing some general self-help pressure point routines for home use. Afterwards I recommend a deep relaxation session such as my Body-Scan meditation. Acupressure is most effective when accompanied by deep breathing. A complete online consultation can be arranged. This will include taking a full case history and you will receive tailored acupressure and lifestyle advice. For fees and to arrange an appointment contact me on 077 88 616 488 ruth@acupuncturecumbria.co.uk Remember, acupressure is not a substitute for medical help.
