✨🌛 Stretch and Sauna, April 11th

What a beautiful morning at the Woodland Sauna. We yoga'd, we sauna'd and enjoyed the beautiful woodland and then nearby town Stockbridge.

Thank you to everyone who attended and expressed interest. The next two dates are sold out but looking into dates for summer evening sessions 😉.

With all other events spaces in April and May sold out, grab yourself the one space that remains for April 26th's Yoga and Wild Swim Day!

This will be our 4th time hosting an event at and every time is just as special as the last.

Included in the day are two yoga practices (suitable for all levels and for both men and women), catered lunch that is always spectacular by .ginger.food, an optional wild swim in the house's wild swimming pool and time to chill and explore grounds/local area.

Any questions pop them my way or if you'd like to book follow the link in my bio.

✨🌛 Dating yourself-

I feel like taking yourself out for a date day should be normalised.

You likely give a lot of energy to others and if you are anything like me you like going on adventures with family and friends but maybe extend the same effort you do in checking in with them with a little check in with yourself.

I took myself to Bath for the day; had the most luscious practice with at .bath (pigeon, twisted lizard AND toe squat 😂), went for a sweet treat and around the city for a walk in the sun.

Cup well and truly filled and now I feel I can be more present for everyone else over half term now I've been present with myself.

✨Sunshine State of Mind✨

Anyone else start to feel super creative and inspired when it's sunny?! Or maybe it's as it's now Spring 🌱.

I've been focusing a lot on the solar plexus chakra with the shift in season and feel it's no coincidence that it's colour is yellow and location of flower is the navel, so it's like it's blooming like a yellow flower/sunshine at the seat of our creativity and inner fire.

Anyway, classic Polly babble, look forward to this little flow next term.

🌛✨- Spring Yoga Themes

April and May's classes will be very much focused on moving away from the idea of perfection and moving towards listening intuitively.

In TCM the Liver is an organ of Spring and it is said that balanced Liver energy can help as see more clearly, find clarity. Therefore, allowing us to let our intuition guide the way.

There are also various new moons this season in Aries and Ta**us asking us to move away from the idea of perfection to help stop us feeling stuck. Find a solid grounding in yourself and find hot in the process of discovery.

As I was planning these classes I opened up to a random page of 'The Practice is the Path' by Tias Little and it fit my planning musings perfectly!

✨🌙 - Yoga should not be your only movement practice (😬🫢 did that actually come out of my mouth)

Yoga is amazing for SO MANY reasons. Depending on style and teachers' own background you may find that a consistent practice offers you a place to connect with yourself, become more present on and off the mat, stretch, tone, become more mobile, learn about your body, build functional movement patterns to help in life, unite body, mind, spirit . . . The list goes on.

However, apart from at the start, you are not introducing load to support your bones and bone mineral density (despite what a VERY biased and invalid research study has professed, one that is spouted without an understanding of the pitfalls in the studies methodology). (Thank you
for the deep dive into this research)

Initially, yes, in poses like plank you are introducing load, but this needs to progressively build over time to benefit bone health and strength. There is some evidence that yoga slows down the decline in bone mineral density as we grow old BUT in order to maintain and build we need another solution. This is where weights, strength and resistance training come in. After ages of focusing solely on yoga in my own practice I now do a mixture of weight training and yoga throughout the week, both compliment each other and can help you continue to be healthy, mobile and strong as you age.

✨Triangle Pose✨

Sometimes we chase the aesthetics of the posture and can end up avoiding the intended sensation and intention of it because our anatomy/way our body moves/proportions don't match up with the person in the image we are trying to replicate.

An example we see this a lot in is triangle pose. The first triangle pose, I've tried to keep my hips square to the front and then bent over the front leg. Here you can see I've really rounded into the side body on the upper side and lost length and space on the lower side. I've also not found any hip hinge as my hips don't hinge in that direction.

Instead, allow the hips to move into a place where you can hinge over extended leg at front and still keep length in torso. Then, find an upper body twist. Triangle pose is intended to find a hamstring stretch through the hinge and obliques help to hold you in place, the twist aids in this.
