I teach hatha yoga, the asana (movement) part of my classes tends to be slow(ish) moving and alignment focused. Classes can be challenging, stimulating, or soft and nurturing depending on the circumstances. A human biologist by training I take a pretty down to earth approach and I am particularly fascinated with the effects that the practices can have on our physiology in helping to maintain physi

cal integrity, support the immune system and calm the nervous system. I am also interested in yogic philosophy particularly relating the ancient teachings to modern day themes and the everday emotional challenges that touch us all at some point in our lives. Primarily I aim for my classes to be friendly, open and accessible to all - quite simply I want you to leave the room feeling better than you did when you came in!

Such an innovative healthcare approach. I wonder how it will be received 🐦🌳

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is proud to announce the official launch of RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) Nature Prescriptions in Newport, the first time this innovative health and wellbeing initiative has been made available in Wales.
Developed in partnership with RSPB Cymru, Nature Prescriptions offer a free, accessible way for individuals to improve their health and wellbeing through simple, self-led activities that encourage deeper connections with nature. Whether undertaken alone or with others, these activities are designed to fit into everyday life and promote lasting wellbeing benefits.
The prescriptions can be offered by a range of trained health professionals, such as GPs, social prescribers, wellbeing connectors, occupational therapists, and community stroke support teams, making them a flexible addition to existing health and wellbeing support.

I am absolutely loving this new cookbook, The Elements of Baking. Since I began baking for retreats I have learnt a lot about gluten free and vegan cooking (we cater for everyone's needs!) but this book takes it to another level. Written by a chemist it takes a scientific approach to adapting recipes for ‘free from’ baking. In case you didn’t know, before I became a yoga teacher I spent 20 years working as a biochemist, so experimenting in the kitchen is right up my street!

Last night I adapted this apricot tart to a gluten and dairy free recipe. It worked brilliantly and was absolutely delicious. It may well show up on the menu of a future retreat😋 .

Lovely trip to Bath in the sunshine. Including a cracking lunch at The Green Rocket Cafe. Highly recommended if you are into vegan & or gluten free nourishment 😋. Besides the burritos I had a delicious banoffee pie. Unfortunately I had scoffed it all down before I thought to take a photo 😆

Suffice to say Ai still has some way to go when it comes to yoga poses. I shan’t worry about my job just yet.

Did you know I offer three types of yoga class?
** Community Classes that are suitable for all including beginners
** Chair yoga for those who want all of the benefits of yoga but do not wish to get up and down off the floor
** Beyond the Pose for experienced students interested in taking their practice deeper
The summer term is already underway but at 9 weeks it is a long one! Do get in touch if you are interested in a midterm start 😊.

A beauty of a cake for a beauty of a business partner. (It was actually her 50th a couple of weeks ago but I knew her husband was sweating over making a cake for her so I didn't want to steal his thunder 😅)
This gluten and dairy free Pistachio, Orange and Raspberry cake turned out rather well, so expect to see it featuring in a retreat in the near future.
Here is to many more happy years of Wise, Wild and Well retreats Yogamagic - with Jane Rourke 😘
