A slightly over cast start to the day but warm and energising practicing in the not so gentle breeze 💖🕉💖

Just the sheep on the hill and the cows on the beach for company this morning… the lambs are quite taken with my yoga playlist 😉🕉💖🕉

Thank you to all who came along to yoga these last two weeks… it was fab to see you all and practice together again in person 💖🕉️💖

Now for a couple of weeks of summer holiday activities before we return to studio again at the end of July 💪

And a moment to enjoy this perfect sky 😎😎😎

In class this morning we explored body tapping, lymphatic drainage, using smaller movements to gently release tension and find ease in the body, special variations of bridge to strengthen the hamstrings, animal movements to generate heat and build whole body strength, and we finished with an extra restorative version of shavasana while we listed to this mantra - https://youtu.be/ucWw5e4brOM

The Chidananda Roopah mantra roughly translates to mean -

I am not this body,
I am not this pain/fatigue/suffering,
I am not these emotions (anger/pride/love/jealousy/greed/pleasure),
I am not a child/parent/co-worker,
I need not make any pilgrimage or ritual, I am formless,
I exists everywhere,
I am bliss, eternal bliss 🕉️🕉️🕉️

I’m not a particularly grounded person (never have been 😉) so I love being outside and getting my hands in the earth for that sense of connection. Here are just a few herbs and flowers from our garden 💖😎💖
