Yoga with Helen

12/02/2024

To my yoga buddies...read this and shiver/weep/blaspheme/nod sagely. But do read it.

From my very first downward dog, I was hooked. But training as a yoga teacher led me to a miserable world of false promises, exploitation and near-total burnout. Could I find my way back to the mat?

Not pretty, not sexy, not contoured…all hail the humble foam block! Originally intended to be stuffing for a sofa, or padding for a bench, it’s the ugly duckling of yoga props that I wouldn’t be without 🐤
It holds your head, supports your hips, raises the floor to your hand, enables you to sit taller and relax deeper.
🧡
I’ll be exploring the wonders of blocks, belts, bricks, bolsters and more at my special workshop ‘The Power of Props’ on Sunday May 14th Sow & Root, Devizes.

Excited to share my love for yoga-props and a supported yoga practice at a special workshop on Sunday 14th May .
🧘‍♂️
Using bricks/blocks/belts, the wall, and through partner-work, we will find new ways-in to familiar poses (standing/seated) as well as exploring more advanced poses (inversions, back-bends) that we sometimes avoid! If we are newer to yoga, the use of props helps to improve our understanding of the ‘mechanics’ of a pose; if we are more experienced, they enable us to deepen actions within a pose, and sometimes to experience it like new.
🌟
Come join me, and take away lots of ideas and inspiration to support your practice.
