Quick reminder that we are currently running to a reduced schedule.
Evening in-person classes are still happening this week alongside the two Wednesday sessions.
From next week until the end of the summer break (3rd August -31st August ) there will only be the Wednesday morning Castleside and Wednesday evening Zoom classes available.

It was a fabulous day at BWY North Sangha yesterday. Sangha means "community" or "coming together" and we certainly did that!
Our lead tutor was the amazing Rajesh David and there were lots of local tutors offering sessions too. We came together in sound and in silence.

Have a great weekend.

We haven’t had a “Friday funny” for a while!
I can always rely on Bella and Jess for some inspiration!

A thought for a Thursday.
I loved this little quote as it absolutely sums up how Yoga works!
It’s a reminder that Yoga is an active process - we have to get on a mat or a meditation cushion and devote time to it.
The more we make time for practice the more it becomes a part of our routine and a part of who we are.
And then, like all good things, it’s even better when we share it!

I’m absolutely loving teaching my current BWY Foundation Course!
However life doesn’t stand still and I’m already planning next year’s programme too.

Our main asana this week is Parsvottanasana or pyramid pose.
It’s a strong forward fold that lengthens and strengthens hip flexors.
It also requires core strength and stability.
You’ll see in the photo that the model is keeping her torso long and her gaze down so there’s no strain on the lower back or neck which is great.
She’s also got both the flexibility and the body proportions ( yes - nature plays a huge part in this!) to take her hands to the floor.
We’ll be working to a chair to keep that same set up for those of us with a different body shape.
If we get really comfortable we can take it to a Warrior 3 balance!
Looking forward to seeing you at one of the sessions. The updated listing is on my website linked below
