🔭🦉🦅 It’s Johnny’s birthday this Friday (🥳) & it may or may not surprise you that a large proportion of photos of Johnny are of him nature/birdwatching!

🦚 He also happens to have more bird-related nicknames than anyone else we know of…. 🤷‍♀️

📸 This week’s photo shares include many of our favourite birdwatching & nature-nerding captures from over the years, & we might’ve snuck in a couple recent snaps of Johnny with his new wood pile after the recent storms (he has managed to get through about half of the fallen trees so far 👏).

🧠 Recent research (in J Neuroscience & New Scientist) shows that birdwatching can benefit our cognitive health – thanks to so many of you for sharing the article w us & we’ve possible broken an in-house research sharing record 🥇 which only goes to show how much you see us both as bird nerds! 🤓

(😒 You might notice that Bear really isn’t so keen on some of these things… Kayaking, waiting for us to come out from behind the binoculars, proximity to axe… All very low of his list of ‘favourite things’!)

💌 This week’s Monday email offers you a Yoga Homework Assignment (optional, & does not necessarily include backbends), which we hope will help to open a wider discussion about a common obstacle that many of us experience in our yoga practice: Frustration. More on that next week & thanks in advance for taking part!

📆 It’s another week of Full Live-Stream Class Schedule – 12X opportunities to get on your mat with .johnny.yoga on Weds, on Sun & K for all of the above.

🌞 Wishing you a wonderful week, With Metta

🌱🌷🌿 It’s official: Spring has finally sprung!

🌳🐦‍⬛🪺🦋 If you’ve been hibernating, feeling sedentary, spending too much time watching the news or looking at social media… NOW is the perfect time to spend a little extra time ourside AND on your mat (or both, one after the other, or ‘sandwiched’ even better!).

💌 This week’s email has some content again! And is a continuation on last week’s theme, inspired by our yoga history course we’ve just completed. It talks about Viveka (discernment, or right knowledge), both in terms of it being a big part of the path, & also necessary in determining what it is that we are doing in our asana practice & how to take what we find in our ‘dress rehearsal’ (time on the mat) into our daily lives – so that our words & actions can be that much more skilful & impactful.

📆 It’s another week of Full Live-Stream Class Schedule – 12X opportunities to get on your mat with .johnny.yoga on Weds, on Sun & K for all of the above.

📸 This week’s photos:
🍒 Cherry plum tree in full bloom – so resilient after quite the extreme winter!
☸️ J in SH2K – a posture that demos being free of confusion, distraction & agitation.
🏹 K in standing bow – another posture to demo the same
🧀 Bear also demos his clear intentions – as he begs for cheese
🌱🪻 coming back to life
🥳 My Auntie Jeanie (my grandma’s little sister) turns 100 tomorrow!! A couple of photos to honour her 🫶
📆 & of course this week’s Live-Stream Class Schedule

☔️ We re-emerge on social media after a little forced quiet time . Storm Nils resulted in three large oaks being uprooted, two of which fell onto our power line, & 5 days waiting for repairs… but it wasn’t all that bad thanks to our neighbours who offered us their cosy guest space so that we could keep offering yoga classes until our power was back up!

🔌 We not-so-secretly enjoy unplugging, living a more simple life when needs must, & sometimes actively seek out opportunities to simplify more than usual. It is always interested to see what we’ve become reliant on, distracted by, & to see how resourceful we can be when we need to be! Although we have a lot of clearing up to do – those are some big trees (which will warm us all over again next winter).

🌷 In the middle of the storm, I found these daffodils growing in the middle of a field - & now all of the spring bulbs are popping up, all over & all at once!

💌 This week’s Monday email has some content…! Including a little exploration of the concepts of Abhaysa, Maya & Pratyahara & how we can all benefit from taking a step in the direction of simplicity (& especially when it is rooted in discipline, commitment & patience).

📆 It’s another week of Full Live-Stream Class Schedule – 12X opportunities to get on your mat with .johnny.yoga on Weds, on Sun & K for all of the above.

📸 Throwback to 2024 during our ‘Joy in Repetition’ workshops – such a fun weekend! We are still singing the praises of all of the joy to be found in repetition… and this is the last week to register/pay your deposit for our 26+2 Teacher Training & receive the Early Bird rate! Of course you can still register, until June in fact, but we hope that you’ll join us early so that you can start preparing now – such a strong group shaping up already & we are so excited for our TT this autumn!

🌞 Wishing you a lovely week & much Metta

🫶 Thank you to for hosting me on Saturday & to everyone who was there! What a miracle it is when a big group of Yogis come together on a wet and stormy Saturday morning – all for the purpose of beginning again by practising the yoga that we know & love most!

🙌 We are more excited than ever for our time together later this year, & if you’re interested in training to teach 26+2 with us in 2026, remember that our Early Bird Discount ends 28 Feb (yes, you can still register after the EB deadline – but early is good when it comes to prep for this TT).

🕯️ While in London, I learned of the recent passing of one of Richmond Yoga’s most dedicated students, Andy Dill. I am so grateful to have had the chance to visit with Marjorie while I was there, to share memories & to honour & celebrate Andy’s life with her, & to give her the biggest hug that communicates what words cannot. We know that many of you who are reading this will be as heartbroken as we are 💔

📸 We share a few photos this week of Andy & of course Marjorie, including a couple photos from our very last Richmond Yoga class (which took place 9 years ago almost to the day). In that class, we turned things on their head – instead of Johnny teaching class, all of the students there taught class, posture-by-posture! It was the best way to close out the best 10 years w you all, & of course Andy ended up teaching Triangle (he had such a great Triangle!) & OF COURSE he managed to squeeze in complimenting Marjorie’s posture while he was teaching (you can make out her smiling face in the background!).

💛 In loving memory of Andy Dill 💛 Thank you for gracing all of us at Richmond Yoga for 10 years & for being such an integral part of our yoga community.

📆 We are back to a Full Livestream Class Schedule this week w .johnny.yoga on Wed, on Sun & you’re stuck w K for everything else 😉 Can’t wait to see you this week, starting tonight ✨

✊ “Action is the antidote to despair” – Joan Baez

✨ So much good in the world begins with frustration, anxiety & despair – & action (both on an individual & community level) in response to it all.

💌 This week’s Monday email is about that, inspiration taken not just from the courageous residents of Minneapolis who continue to peacefully protest despite the executions of their friends, neighbours & community members in the streets, but also in a smaller way from our friends of the community of Edale who have spent the last four years creating a feature-length film as a response to lockdowns during Covid & the cancellation of their beloved Panto! 👏

✍️ Should’ve gotten a few autographs when we were last there & before ‘Stone of Stone’ makes its way to Cannes & Sundance 😉 but hopefully our friends in the soon-to-be-world-famous Ollerbrook will remember who we are (& who their favourite dog is) when we make our next visit.

📸🌞 Our little (Sun)Bear turns 9 on Sunday, & even though he loves his life in France, he still is very much an Edale dog. Here are a few photos of him there, our time there, & hands-down our favourite ‘hood/Booth (Ollerbrook).

📆 It’s a normal schedule of Live-Stream Classes this week, apart from Saturday morning which is 26+2 ONLY this week w .johnny.yoga who will cover that class while K teachs 💛 will be with you on Sunday of course, & K will be with you for everything else. Back to full, normal schedule next week & for the foreseeable!

💛 Have a lovely week, all!

🕊️ I sometimes feel like I’ve lost my voice, when I look at the world and it is filled to the brim with more evil & injustice than is fathomable, & yet my practice helps me to process & find clarity somehow, even if it is hard to put it all into words.

💌 Your Monday email landed early today & I made a small attempt at expressing at least some of the feels of the weekend. It is an understatement when I say that it is a strange time to be in the US & to be an American, & if it was a culture shock coming ‘home’ in previous years/decades, that feeling is multiplied this time around. And yet I came to the conclusion that Im happy to be here w family through what feel like some of US society’s darkest days.

💛 Thanks for reading, but mostly thank you for your practice. It goes without saying that I am looking forward to focusing wholly on flowing to stillness w you at 5.15pm, followed by stillness practising asana, breathing always normal at 6.30pm today.

🫶 Thanks again to for all the cover (last chance for now to catch her is Tues), .johnny.yoga & for helping to keep things running smoothly while I have some family time in California.

🇫🇷 Back in France on Thurs, 🇬🇧 over to the UK on Sat where I’ll be teaching a full schedule again, & can’t wait to see lots of familiar faces Chichester so soon - 7th Feb!

🤸🏻‍♀️ Oh yeah! Don’t forget 10% off 26+2 Intensive spaces in June & Aug - deposit by 8th Feb to get the discount ✨✨

🐻🐾 Of course I’ll be back home for Bear’s birthday on the 8th Feb!!!! A whole 9 years of life for our favourite monkey 🐒

🌞 Have a lovely week, all!

⏳⌛️ How. On. Earth… Has it already been 9 years since Richmond Yoga’s 10 years⁉️

🤷‍♀️ And how is it that we somehow only very recently came across these videos from our 10 year anniversary class, one month before closing the studio?

🫤 Firstly, apologies for the video quality - if you’re prone to motion sickness, this is your warning….

🥰 But if you were there, or if you weren’t there and were a part of our Richmond Yoga family, I hope you love looking back on these moments as much as we do. They do not in any way reflect how we taught classes through those 10 years (this was one of maybe three classes where we played music, and the only time that Johnny wore Kristin’s purple sparkle leggings - honestly 😜) but they do very much reflect our incredibly precious community, many of whom were with us since day one. And wow 🐪 look at all those 8-minute camel holds 🙃

💓 No words for how grateful we are for that decade, for all of our time together, for each and every one of you. It really does feel like it was only yesterday.

😏 And in case you didn’t know, Johnny reclaimed our Richmond Yoga sign during a visit to the UK in 2023. Now to find somewhere to hang it …..

🌎 Most of you know that K is in California visiting family and Helen and Johnny .johnny.yoga are covering all of her classes apart from Monday nights when she’ll be zooming in from grandma’s back patio. Of course George will see you on Sunday as usual!

💌 Full text Im your inbox.

🌞 Wishing you a wonderful week ahead
And of course much Metta

🌞 What do you get when you take an Irishman, a Brit, a Bulgarian, an American & a Sprocker from the Welsh border & start a Yoga/Pilates Zoom meeting?

😉 Quite a teaching team if you ask us… Come take class & see for yourself!

🦋 K is flying ‘home’ to California on Wednesday for a two-week family visit, but we’ve got you covered during that time (& she will keep teaching Monday night classes while she’s away).

🙅‍♀️ Please note that Yoga Homework on Weds & Fri is cancelled for the next two weeks, but Saturday Yoga Homework is ON & all other classes will run as normal with Johnny .johnny.yoga Helen & George

😎 Forgive us while we remember our fun in the sun in 2025 & also look forward to having you all here with us this summer – this old farmhouse isn’t built for the cold, but just looking at our summer memories in photos warms us up & reminds us that it is allllll worth waiting for ✨

✈️ Slide 2 = Johnny & Bear watching Kristin fly off…

🐾 & Slide 3 = What we see behind screen when we teach from the living room! This is Bear’s version of ‘doing yoga’

& of course this week’s Livestream Class Schedule!

🎄🦌🐾 Thank you for making our Christmas morning extra bright & for helping us to smash our fundraising target for ❤️

🎅 Santa hats, antlers, Christmas jumpers & Christmas pjs… & just as we started our sun salutations, the snow started to fall ! It hasn’t stuck & Bear will be slightly disappointed when we finally get outside, but it was still the most magical little Christmas miracle 🪄✨❄️

❣️Merry Christmas, everyone! We hope that whatever you’re up to today, you’re surrounded by unconditional love, warmth & peace.

With Metta
Kristin, Johnny & Bear
