Berwick & Borders Yoga

11/04/2026

I know we're all out of sync with our regular lives following the Easter holidays, which is why I'm sending out this gentle reminder for you to book your regular classes which start up again this Monday, 12th. 🥰

Classes have been busy this year and managing the studio space has to be a priority. Booking not only enables me to manage the space to ensure we can fit in(!), but also to asssess which classes are more viable to run than others. I'd hate to cancel a class simply because we all forgot to book!

I appreciate your understanding and I'll see you on your mats, Beautiful Mat People! 🙏T x

Setting up for tomorrow's Chill-Out Session and have got sidetracked by how pretty this throw is. 🤗

All the studio throws are made from recycled saris and imported from India, a country that leans into colour in the most glorious way!

I have a feeling everyone will have their own favourite but, for now, this is mine. 🥰

The problem.

Having poor eyesight means, at some point, you inevitably find your glasses with your feet.

~

It's always a quiet discovery, one without fanfare. An underfoot sensation of gentle give, a sigh of surrender as if the occasion were preordained, pointless to resist.

Then the pause, caught breath, a lithic stillness of panic at rest awaiting blasphemous animation.

A certain future now stretches away, unclear.

So a bloody big thank you to the lovely folk in in Berwick for sorting out the mangled mess of my frames!

Although I am sad to return the labrador.

Opinions!

Controversial, I know, but I bloody love a ticking clock!

When at home, up in what I ~ revelling in rich pretension ~ call my Victorian Boho Library and other, less imaginative relatives, call the landing, I take time out to read, write or meditate to nothing but the patient ticking of this plucky little wall clock.

Edwardian, I believe, so not quite on brand but showing willing.

On the rare occasion I invite visitors up to my sacred space, I am invariably asked to stop the clock or risk them clawing their face off in agitation.

As they're not blessed with looks to begin with, I comply. (Although, it has to be said, with a psychic, inner lip curl intended to transmit their obvious weakness of character.)

So, what about you? Fan of the ticking clock or too much like Death calling ahead? 👀☠️

I like to be beside it. Do you? 🤔🌊

Happy Original Zombie Day! 🐰🐣🥚

Remember, to celebrate the resurrection of Patient Zero, there will be NO classes this week.

BUT.

Also remember, to celebrate the resurrection of putting your need to rest and reset first, I have two fabulous yoga opportunities for you:

Sunday Morning Chill-Out, 12th April.
Ideal for the discerning loafer.

Simply Yoga. An Afternoon, 25th April.
Ideal for those who struggle giving themselves permission to loaf, but who would like to work towards it.

I've also included the most recent class schedule for the new block, starting from 13th April.

Take a deek at the website cos there's other events n' stuff on there that you might like to squoosh together to make a money-saving package.

But let's not talk dirty money on a day meant for miracles and an obscenity of chocolate.

Much love, Beautiful Mat People! ✌️❤️T x

Run, Forrest, run! Then caffeine and carbs as reward. 🤗😋

The final West Street Soul Stride Collective! It is tomorrow! Come and join us for a jog followed by a cuppa and a well-deserved sweet treat.

Meet for a 10am start ✨️

Don't forget, my beauties, there are NO classes next week so you'll have all the time in the world to take your minis to the zoo! 😁

New block starts on 13th April. ✌️❤️T x

Breathe ... ✌️🥰

I love all of my classes. They all have a different energy, different vibe. Would you permit me to heave away on that old saw and say it's not work if you love what you do?

Colour me Madame Cliché!💫✨✨🥰

At the moment, I'm particularly in love with the Wednesday evening's Yoga for Men. It hasn't been AT ALL what I thought it would be, so I really hope the guys who come along think the same.

That's the thing, innit. Expectations. Always there, rarely met.

This, in case you're wondering, is not a regular yoga class. I mean, it is - we're focusing on breathing and regulating the nervous system. But the physicality of it is very different. Because men are 🚨 !SPOILER!🚨 also very different in how they move, recruit and use their bodies.

And this is something not often taken into consideration in a typical yoga class, the majority of participants being women.

Men's natural strength can really work against optimal movement patterns. For example, in the latest class, there has been an 80% incidence of frozen shoulder! Cripes and crikey Moses!

It would be inappropriate and, yes, negligent to ignore that fact and just continue with a regular class designed for naturally more flexible bodies.

Instead, the class has to be tailored to address the underlying issues: muscle imbalance, postural issues, suboptimal movement patterns and poor proprioception.

Then we can focus on rebuilding range and strength from the ground up. Learn which muscles to recruit and by how much, what to release, when to back off. Notice how the body is feeling in the moment rather than continuing to subscribe to a "no pain, no gain" mentality. Relax the need to get it right first time.

This is how we heal. This *is* yoga, guys.

So try it. Have unmet expectations. Lycra not required. 😘T x
