Yoga this week, 3 things...
Firstly, if you come to my Thursday, Nuneaton 10.00 class at St Nicolas, the class is running as usual, however, there is a funeral in the church at 11.00am. In order to free up parking for the funeral could you please park elsewhere this week? Two hours free at Sainsbury's just across the way maybe? Your help with this would be appreciated..
Secondly, thanks to those who attended the yoga and sound therapy event on Saturday with myself and Christine Mc Kane. We really enjoyed it and we hope participants did too.
Finally, my classes this week will focus on mindful yoga. Simply focusing on the yoga a little more than we usually do, trying to stop the mind wandering off as happens to all of us. We'll be focusing on the here and now, as we practice our yoga. It is in the here and now that we live our lives, the past and the future are illusions. Once the moment is past it is gone and is forever distorted by our interpretation. The future is always an imagining of what might be. So it's yoga in the present this week.

Are you looking for accessible but effective exercise? Aiming to keep yourself fit enough, strong and flexible enough to cope with day to day life. My seated yoga and exercise class at St Nicolas Church in Nuneaton might be just right for you. I'm Peter Hunter, I've been teaching yoga and exercise locally for almost 20 years. I'm in my 70's now and my classes are designed with an older clientele in mind.
This accessible class is at St Nicolas Church in central Nuneaton, Wednesday lunchtime, 12.30 -1.30. Classes are £4.50 a session, no need to book and no experience needed. Just a desire to improve your fitness, but in a gentle and relaxed way.

One of the benefits of yoga in your 70's. Playing football in Laura and Chris' back garden with Oliver and being able to keep nipping over wall into nextdoor's garden to get the ball back.

This week my classes focus on posture and why that is important physically and psychologically. Then next week in the run up to Easter there is a focus on our practice being mindful and meditative. You'll be very welcome if you'd like to drop in and join us for a session.
My classes are running as usual over Easter apart from there being no Radford class on Bank Holiday Monday.

Class details are -
Coventry - the daytime class is at Holy Family Church, Penny Park Lane, Holbrooks, Wednesday morning, 10.00am. and the evening class is at Radford and Holbrooks Methodist Church, Rupert Rd., Radford, 7.30pm.

Nuneaton - St Nicolas Church Community Centre, Vicarage St., Wednesday lunchtime 12.30pm. and Thursday morning, 10.00am.

The Wednesday lunchtime class in Nuneaton aims to be more accessible. It combines chair yoga, standing work and mat work - but there's no kneeling and we get down and up from the mat just once.

All sessions are on a drop in basis - no need to book. If you've not been to my classes before, don't worry, you'll be very welcome. If you'd like more information, message me or phone / text 07415799770.
Best Wishes, Peter.

In the weeks coming up to Easter I'm having a different focus for each weeks classes. The sessions will still be instantly recognisable to those who come to my classes, however the focus of each will be slightly different.
For the first week, commencing Monday 24th March the focus will be on strength - simply aiming to be strong enough to cope with day to day life - and using strength and resistance exercises to help us combat loss of muscle mass and bone density as we get older.
Class details on my about info. on FB.

Those of you who attend my Coventry daytime yoga class at Holy Family Church in Holbrooks at 10.00 on Wednesday mornings will have been aware of a few New Year glitches - gas leak, no heating, car park closed...... However, we're all sorted now and back better than ever. A spacious warm hall, plenty of parking, quiet (we're not currently sharing the building with noisy neighbours) - and of course a great group of people to practice yoga with.
And if you've not been before, you're welcome to join us! Message me if you need more info.

Hello, a couple of venue issues re my yoga classes for this week (w/c Monday 20 Jan.)

Firstly, the Holy Family class in Coventry on Wednesday morning, 10.00am. The main car park here will be closed whilst gas main repairs are undertaken. There is however parking in front of the church, accessed via gates on Beake Ave. Temporary heaters will be in use again this week (they were OK if not great last week). Things should be back to normal next week.

Secondly, the Thursday morning class at St. Nicolas in Nuneaton will be at 9.00am this week rather than the usual 10.00am because of a later morning funeral at the Church. Again, should be back to normal next week.

The Wednesday lunchtime 12.30pm session for at St Nicolas will go ahead as usual.

Looking forward to normality next week. Thanks for your understanding.

So, the old guy is back for 2025 - season 19 of my yoga classes. It's great to look back at how I've changed and my yoga has changed over this time.

The yoga is less traditional and more practical - focusing on keeping us fit enough, flexible enough and relaxed enough to cope with day to day life.
I'm more relaxed about basing my classes on what works for me - teaching from experience rather than from the textbook.
You'll be very welcome if you want to come and join us. Classes start back into the regular routine from Monday 6th Jan.

In Coventry the daytime class is at Holy Family Church, Penny Park Lane, Holbrooks, Wednesday morning, 10.00am. and the evening class is at Radford and Holbrooks Methodist Church, Rupert Rd., Radford, 7.30pm.
In Nuneaton it's St Nicolas Church Community Centre, Vicarage St., Wednesday lunchtime 12.30pm. and Thursday morning, 10.00am.

The Wednesday lunchtime class in Nuneaton aims to be more accessible. It combines chair yoga, standing work and mat work - but there's no kneeling and we get down and up from the mat just once.

All sessions are on a drop in basis - no need to book. If you've not been to my classes before, don't worry, you'll be very welcome. If you'd like more information, message me or phone / text 07415799770.

OK, I admit to being a closet baker and have been for many years. This is the ultimate loaf so far! (but still a work in progress) Various types of flour, oats, chopped nuts, several seed varieties all sweetened with a spoon of treacle. It is an absolute brick, one slice a nutritious meal in itself!
For many years I've been disillusioned by so much white UK bread. Lacking in nutrition and bad for your digestion. I remember Meryl's mum going to her old style GP many years ago with digestive issues and coming away with the simplest treatment advice - stop eating white bread, eat wholemeal - and the problem was sorted.
Yet still the supermarket shelves are piled high with lovely looking but fairly useless white bread - very little nutrition and it gums up your digestive system. I've taken to shopping for bread in the local Polish and east European shops where the bread is generally far more nutritious and substantial.
Rant over - eat good bread - a simple way to transform your diet. Message me if you'd like the brick recipe!
