This Thursday is Full Moon so there is no early morning Ashtanga Mysore class.

Manu is still teaching online evening Ashtanga Yoga talk-through classes on Monday & Thursday 6.00pm. These classes are great for anyone who have practiced Ashtanga Yoga before and would like weekly opportunities to maintain a healthy regular home practice.

On Wednesday evening 6.00pm is teaching a in-person Ashtanga Yoga class at The Yoga Tree in Northleach (Cotswolds). This class is for all levels including complete beginners. It's taught as a one-to-one class, tailoring the sequence to the individual. Spaces are limited to 6 practitioners so booking is essential: https://studiobookingsonline.com/theyogatree/classes.html

Finally, Manu has now one evening slot available for private tuition and few day time slots across the week. Your private class with Manu can be to develop and deepen your Ashtanga Yoga practice, or refining your teaching skills if you are a yoga teacher or training to be, or a yoga therapy class where the yoga sequence will be structured to address your needs or also a breathwork class to add therapeutic conscious breathing to your daily routine.
To book a class with Manu, please email: manu@thebreathingspace.yoga

Ashtanga Mysore Style classes starting this Monday at Orange Yoga Studio at its beautiful new location in Crescent Bakery, GL50 3PN. Classes are Monday, Wednesday & Friday 6.15 - 9.00am.

Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga classes offer a warm and encouraging environment to learn, memorise, and practice the Ashtanga Yoga sequences. In a Mysore Style class complete beginners practice Ashtanga Yoga alongside seasoned yoga practitioners in a supportive and inspiring environment. This means that each one practices the sequence appropriate for them, learning first a shorter sequence until the teacher observes the right time to add new postures for regular practice. Therefore, when the sequences present more challenging postures your body will have gained the necessary flexibility and strength to practice them safely.

The yoga studio is mainly silent except for the sound of breathing which helps to cultivate mental focus. The flowing yoga practice becomes a moving meditation and a tool for observing and developing a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Your teacher is available to answer questions, support and guide you, assisting through verbal instructions, demonstration and precise hands-on adjustments when needed (please tell your teacher at the beginning of class if you prefer not to be adjusted in postures).

Specific one-to-one guidance together with self-practice enables you to develop and deepen your understanding and experience of yoga.

I really look forward to seeing you in the studio.
Manu

Hi Cheltenham Ashtangis :) See this Sunday at 9.00am on Zoom

Hi everyone,
We loved this quote from Daniel Simpson's new book The Truth of Yoga. It's a great book with lots of gems inside. We really recommend it. Daniel is a friend of ours which happens to live just around the corner from us in the Cotswolds by coincidence. He has got lots of knowledge on the matter and he is very witty.
This Sunday our Ashtanga Yoga Led Primary Series Class is on as usual at 9.00am UK Time on Zoom.
Please email to book: practice@thebreathingspace.yoga
See you Sunday

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well, staying warm, healthy and enjoying your yoga practice. We were lucky to have more snow here in the Cotswolds and some beautiful snowy, sunny landscapes to walk in breath fresh air amidst the zoom classes and home schooling cosy at home!

The cold days outside seem to really encourage inner enquiry and nurturing routines. I've come to really appreciate how my yoga practice feels at different times of the year and how it shows different qualities each time. Those precious, privileged moments I can give to it fill me with peace, fortitude and gratitude.

This Thursday is full moon. In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition it is recommended to take a day of rest from asana (yoga posture) practice, sleep longer and read something inspiring!

Our full schedule of online classes below. Please do email me if you would like to join a class, even if it's for the first time online - be brave and try it! You may like it and find it supports your health and wellbeing right now.

I am back from Chiropractic Masters Degree training now so this Sunday's Ashtanga Yoga Led Primary Series will take place at 9.00am on Zoom. Book at practice@thebreathingspace.yoga

If you would like to have a private class to explore details of yoga practice or if you need specific mentoring for your yoga teaching or studies, we have some dedicated time slots in the week for this.

Oṃ
svasti prajābhyaḥ paripālayantāṃ nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṃ mahīśāḥ |
go-brāhmanebhyaḥ śubham astu nityaṃ lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu ||
Oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ |

May the rulers of the earth protect the well-being of the people,
With justice, by means of the right path.
May there always be good fortune for cows, Brahmins and all living beings,
May the inhabitants of all the worlds be full of happiness.
Oṃ Peace, Peace, Peace
