Berwick & Borders Yoga Worried about not being able to touch your toes? Come along and find out why that doesn't matter! I first went along to classes to keep a friend company.

I've practised yoga for 30 years, taught for ten, co-founder of Babyama Wellness Hub, not very bendy, excellent at lying down. I hope to build a community of like-minded yoga enthusiasts throughout Berwick and the Borders region. My name is Trood and I've been practising yoga for the past 25 years. I confess, I was more interested in the coffee and cake we went for afterwards...

As time went on I realised that I was getting more out of yoga than the physical challenge (and the cake); it was bringing me a sense of calm, and for the first time I was gaining an insight into who I really was. Wind forward to last year. Feeling trapped in an unrewarding job, with children grown and in the process of flying the nest, I realised there was nothing holding me back but fear. I took the plunge and successfully gained my 500-hour, CYQ Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga. I can honestly say it was the toughest thing I have ever done, but definitely one of the most rewarding. I work with a sense of fun, acceptance and irreverence. There's a lot of laughter. Come and join me. Classes are 60 (Flow) or 90 minutes (Hatha) long and cost £9.00 (or £7.50 when bought as a block). No need to bring anything other than a mat and a willingness to let go. I'll see you soon!

I'm away at an indecent hour on Friday morning for my annual retreat to Holy Isle Project, Arran where I will be gloriously missing in inaction.

Here's everything you need to know about coming together again on our mats in the autumn.

Much love, Mat People! T x 🥰🙏

Behold the elegance upon which my cups and saucers can float without fear of lip slaver bespoiling the polished veneer of my writing desk! 😍

All applause must be directed towards the very talented Ali of who flogged her wares with such winsome charm at the absolutely ripping festival this weekend past.

If you're feeling the green-eyed monster stirring within the heat of your bowels on purveying such finely crafted, locally themed coasters as these, then I suggest you zip across to her website now and snap up the last of 'em because I have, from a very good source,* intel that these are limited edition due to ethical supply problems.

If you don't want to rush a purchase, however, I can attest that, in addition, there are some cracking tea towels featuring fish, which I would've bought too had not the Officer for Budget Responsibility also been in looming attendance.

Anyway. Do take a look at all the lovely things, of which there are many.

Preferably on your own, though.

The family that yogas together, stays together! 😍

One of my biggest pleasures on holiday is taking a yoga class I don't have to teach.

I can just lurk at the back, ENJOYING!

With this lot, obviously. 👀🤗

Don't be fooled. That eye-bright look of absolute love? No, friend, it's not for us.

Aimlessly scrolling this morning, my mind easing towards holiday mode but full of the anxious things I "need" to do before I head off.

And I paused on this.

And took a deep breath and gave myself a gentle talking to. 🥰🙏🏼

I give thanks for arriving
Safely in a new dawn,
For the gift of eyes
To see the world,
The gift of mind
To feel at home
In my life.
The waves of possibility
Breaking on the shore of dawn,
The harvest of the past
That awaits my hunger,
And all the furtherings
This new day will bring.

This is me, shaking my fist and poking out my tongue at the summer disruption to classes!

Due to us all, I hope, having made fabulous plans heavy on feasting and frollicking with friends, family and (most exciting of all, surely) randoms we've stumbled across in the summer gloaming, Wednesday morning's Slow Flow will NOT be going ahead.

But come along to Monday instead. That *is* happening because we all need to kickstart the week, scheduled debauchery or no.

To recap then:

🥳 = Monday morning (coupla spaces)
😭 = Wednesday morning (tis no more)
🥳 = Wednesday evening (full)

Looking to keep a gentle practice going over the summer holidays?

I'm busy devising gentle flow classes, 60-minute sessions of continuous slow movement to keep your body supple and relaxed.

Dates are:
Monday, 28th July, 4th & 18th August, 9.30 to 10.30am
Wednesday, 30th July, 6th & 20th August, 9.30 to 10.30 am
PLUS a longer evening class to include 30 minutes of meditation, 6 to 7.30pm.

You can book as blocks of three or as in-person singles, but I'd invite you to book this week so I can manage numbers. Visit the website for more info and to book. [link in comments]

Thank you so much and I look forward to gently flowing with you next week! 🙏❤️T x

Yes, it felt personal, Mr Marketing Man. It felt very personal indeed.

Two tins of paint - not even Farrow & Ball or Little Greene or Cockless & Womble - have just cost me £100.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS. Two tins.

Remember when painting was the CHEAP option when redecorating? 😳

So please, do sign up for the summer classes starting next week - any and all - so I can continue to fund my clearly luxurious, over-the-top, living-it-large, high-consumption lifestyle.

Now off to barter the cats for some Osmo hardwax.

I Go Down to The Shore – Mary Oliver

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.

My story ~ why so serious?

I hope to build a community of like-minded yoga enthusiasts throughout Berwick and the Borders region. My name is Trudy and I've been practising yoga for the past 19 years. I first went along to classes to keep a friend company. I confess, I was more interested in the coffee and cake we went for afterwards... As time went on I realised that I was getting more out of yoga than the physical challenge (and the cake); it was bringing me a sense of calm, and for the first time I was gaining an insight into who I really was. Wind forward. Feeling trapped in an unrewarding job, with children grown and in the process of flying the nest, I realised there was nothing holding me back but fear. In 2014, I took the plunge and successfully gained my 500-hour, CYQ Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga. I can honestly say it was the toughest thing I have ever done, but definitely one of the most rewarding. I’ve attended workshops by Leslie Kaminoff and Mimi Kuo-Deemer, and I’ve studied with Esther Ekhart in Copenhagen. I’m currently studying Buddhism through Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery in Dumfriesshire. Yoga is WAY more than the postures. It’s a constant journey of self-study, change and self-acceptance. It can be challenging, sure, and then some. I spent a few years pretending to write sitcoms for the BBC so it’s not huge surprise that I work with a sense of fun, acceptance and irreverence. There's a lot of laughter. I’m forever pondering whether I should take things more seriously but remind myself that the yoga industry is saturated with over-earnest folk banging on about their blocked third eye ad nauseam, usually in a string bikini. I want yoga to be accessible for you ~ someone who’s interested in their own innate spirituality (rather than trying one on for size), someone whose body grumbles when asked to run for a bus, someone who likes baggy t-shirts and joggers, and binge-watches First Dates Hotel (best programme ever).

Come and join me. No judgement, no criticism. Just turn up and see what happens. I don’t care if you can’t touch your toes or can flip up into handstands. None of it matters. What matters is you’ve taken the step to prioritise yourself, you’ve decided to dedicate time to decompress, to relax, to breathe. In my book, that’s a bloody big win. Classes are 90 minutes long and cost £8.00 (or £32.50 for a block of five). No need to bring anything other than a mat and a willingness to let go. I'll see you soon!
