Gratitude 🙏🏻 for the Winter Solstice Candlelight Restorative Yoga and for all those who attended.🫶🏻
I love these events, with people coming together from different classes, abilities and truly wanting to be there, seeking rest and some ‘me’ time, and leaving feeling refreshed by the experience.

Developing strong back muscles - it takes time to learn to identify and recruit the right muscles. It is all part of developing and growing your practice🙂

Focus pose this week in all classes was Garudasana - Eagle pose - the mythical bird that in Hindu mythology never lands as he rides in the wind!
An all-round posture that, as well as being a balance, it stretches all muscles in the body - it teaches us the relief we experience when we 'un-knot' ourselves physically and emotionally - in other words, untie the knots that bind us, restrict us to finally free up the energy flow!

And yesterday another wrap for 2025 🌲🎄🎊. Sutton Vision
Cheerful and lovely group to teach chair yoga, they managed to wriggle out of our coordination movements😂😂
They picked up cards with postures, breathing exercises and relaxation, and I integrated them into our practice after warming up with a seated Sun Salutation. ☀️☀️
I got very spoilt with a cosy blanket, mug, & socks!

Back on 7 Jan!

And that’s a wrap for Chair Yoga 2025!!!
All these lovely people have turned up for our last Chair Yoga for 2025 - they have supported this class with grace, enthusiasm, determination and a lot of love. Each with their own abilities, stories, and drawbacks have moved forward.

Some have already gone away, some will soon go away too - some will be at the Christmas coffee next week!

I will miss their friendly faces and teasing - will be back on 5 January, 10:20am for more Yoga!!

8 December will be the last Chair Yoga of this year. This class has grown over the last 3 years and I am constantly grateful for those who support this class, their willingness to show up, their enthusiasm as well as their teasing of my getting right and left wrong and miscounting at times.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching this group and shall be back teaching on Monday 5 January, 10.20am for more yoga and laughs!!

This week the focus pose for all classes (even at Chair Yoga!) has been Triangle or Trikonasana - allowing students to appreciate the physical as well as the mental benefits of this pose. Perhaps a misunderstood pose (there is a tendency to think that the energy is moving down)? or underrated? what do you think?

We learn a lot from our students and as teachers we grow through their feedback, enthusiasm and willingness to show up to class. This review was left by John:

"I have been attending the Monday morning Chair Yoga classes for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoy them. Ross is an excellent teacher, sprinkling her friendly classes with humour. It's a perfect way to start the week!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

👉👉Value rest ❤
Literally 'legs up the wall' is a restorative posture that helps to reduce stress, improve circulation, sooth the nervous system, relieve fatigues of feet and legs, reduce swelling of the ankles and feet.
It is a great pose to do after work, especially if you have been on your feet all day and may help to induce sleep if done before bedtime.
