Hello, just a quick reminder that I will be taking a few extra days off at Easter, so no classes now until Thursday April 9th.

Wishing you all a peaceful Easter and here's hoping we see some sun :) Ix

TUESDAY TRIVIA
We are normally focused on the front of our bodies, but Child pose gives us a fabulous opportunity to focus on the back of the body. The back of the body is exposed (rather than our soft, vulnerable tummy area, making it even more relaxing as we potentially feel safer with our hard exterior facing the world), which allows for the expansion of the spine and back.

Breathe to the back of the body as you rest in child. How does that feel?

How about giving something a bit different this Easter?! I'm all for enjoying an Easter egg .... but what about a gift of wellbeing too?! Spring is a great time to get into this completely non preachy book packed with simple and effective tips to keep you well throughout the whole year (and chocolate is definitely allowed 🙂 ) .

Available from direct from me, or from Amazon or other online book sellers.

Fabulous CPD day on Saturday, exploring Surya Namaskar, thank you all. Mona Fairholme and I loved it, and in particular we are loving the supportive Dru Yoga teaching community we are building in Leeds 🤩

We can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to Om Yoga Works Farsley for hiring out their lovely space to us too 😊

Looking for something to do this bank holiday?

Why not join the "Spring has Sprung" dedicated Facebook group and do some beautiful spring themed Dru Yoga 🙂 ? 8 weeks of recorded 15 and 30 minute yoga sessions to keep you calm and well over the Bank Holiday season, when I know there's always a lot of disruption class wise, so might not be quite as easy to get your yoga fix.

* Giving the lymphatic system a boost - great if you are feeling sluggish!
* Supporting the lungs
* Easing hay fever and seasonal allergies
* A couple of flows to help you wake up and one to help you sleep

As we approach bank holiday season and move towards summer, I know there will be classes that are going to be missed - you're on holiday, I'm taking a break, no classes for the bank holidays etc. - if you are wondering how you are going to keep up with your yoga, or perhaps are looking for inspiration for staying radiant, then why not sign up for my "Spring has sprung!" private Dru Yoga Facebook group.

The group is open for 8 weeks, from April 3rd - June 30th. I've recorded over 4 hours of yoga, broken down into 15 and 30 minute sessions, which you can access as much as you want over the 8 weeks, and all for just £30!

Sessions include:
* A spring sun sequence
* Relaxation and a meditation.
* Yoga to support the lungs, digestive system and lymphatic system.

FABULOUS FRIDAY'S TIP OF THE DAY: How to get the most from your asana practice. CHARITY POSE

Just a quick reminder that when you are in Charity pose, remember to lengthen from the base of the spine all the way through to the crown of your head. Feel the spaciousness from hip to rib (remember this is the intense side stretch pose). Avoid rounding your back and shoulders (an instruction I find extremely hard to follow!!).

Check that you're not hyperextending your knees - you know in Dru we like to keep our joints softened to work on strengthening the muscles around the joint capsule.

Final tweaks and run through this morning for our CPD session on Saturday "Moving with light, an exploration of Surya Namaskar". Mona Fairholme and I have a couple of spaces left if you fancy a fabulous day of Dru Yoga, 10am - 4.30pm at Om Yoga Works in Farsley, Leeds.

We have planned an amazing day of practical yoga and philosophy to help you and your students get the most from this most classic of yoga flows, Salute to the Sun.

We'll be diving deeper into this sequence, with fresh eyes on the familiar and sharing plenty of ways of practising that will be new, practical and useful!

This is a beautiful opportunity to connect with the sun, the source of light and life, and honour the light within, guiding you back to your natural state of wellbeing.

We'll be sharing things you might not see elsewhere, tapping into a collective 60 years of Dru Yoga practice!

Interested? Then please do get in touch :)

Spring is a season that increases the kapha dosha according to Ayurvedic principles, which means a rise in mucus and phlegm and all things damp and heavy!

Lighten up with these simple Spring recommendations...

* Have a sauna - to dry up any excessive dampness.
* Practice body brushing - great for giving a sluggish lymphatic system a boost.
* Treat yourself to a massage - revitalises and relaxes your whole system.
* Massage yourself every day - focus on feet, face and scalp.
* Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper or gently brush with your tooth brush - removes mucus and what we call Ama in Ayurveda, which is a build up of toxins.
* Make your yoga practice dynamic.

I am feeling very damp and heavy today!! Anyone else? What are you doing to lighten up?

Due to Good Friday being on the same day as our fortnightly Meditation group, we decided to change the date of our next session to this Friday, March 27th, 6.30 - 7.30pm.

We've recently been thinking about Conscious Intent and the quality of Will. A key principle of Dru Yoga is that energy follows thought, so I always like to revisit this theme, and remind myself of how important it is!!

If you've not been to a meditation class before then why not give it a try? We start with a fun, non judgmental discussion on our theme, move into a very short yoga flow (just to release some of the tension of the day), followed by a deep relaxation (it's hard to meditate if you're not relaxed), before going into our meditation practice which I guide you all the way through.

Give me a shout if you'd like to join us :)

TUESDAY TRIVIA
I love everything about Child pose, being in it, resting there and even coming out of the posture is beautiful.

Remember, each time you uncurl is an opportunity for renewal. Uncurl with awareness from the base of spine, like a seed unfurling from it's husk - fresh, creativeand filled with potential energy. Use child pose to open up to new potential as you connect with the vijnanamaya kosha (the intellectual sheath of our being).

Has anyone else been finding March a tricky and unsettling month!? One day we have lovely sunshine, the next day it's cold again, I don't know where I am and don't even start me on whether I can peg my washing out! This switch between warm & cool, dry & damp can cause us health as well as laundry problems. Spring colds and tummy bugs all thrive at this time, and I know a few people who come to classes have been struck down with these :(

Add into this a retrograde Mercury (it's shifted forwards now, phew) and a few other planetary happenings, which have been playing out in my world, and in the wider world.

All this is leaving me feeling lethargic and somewhat lack lustre, I must confess. Does this resonate?

How are you managing? What are you doing to keep yourself grounded and settled?

I'm using dynamic rounds of sun sequence to shift the apathy / lethargy, and working on supporting my lungs with chest opening postures. I'm also including yoga to help me let go and ground. For me, this includes Earth sequence, Warriors, Gate and Beam, and Butterflies. Our second Dru Energy Block Rlease sequence "Be here now" is really ticking my boxes at the moment too.

Let me know how you are getting on. Ix

Our Story

At Inside Out, we are passionate about Dru Yoga, because we know it works! We see the proof every day - in ourselves and in our students. We love it when students tell us how practising Dru Yoga has improved their health and well being. You tell us how you feel calmer, or have more energy, how your back and joints are easier, you sleep better, you no longer have digestive problems ... the list goes on.

As a team we are knowledgeable and professional, who genuinely care about our students and do everything we can to make your Dru Yoga experience with us a positive one. Whatever your age, ability or experience, here at Inside Out we’re bound to have a class that suits your abilities whether you’re looking for a complete beginner’s class, something more advanced, something that bit specialist or even a private one-to-one yoga consultation. We are really proud of the fact that we are constantly being told how much fun our classes are, how friendly and supportive both the class members and the tutors are, and how much you benefit from attending. We LOVE sharing our yoga with you! If you’d like to find out more then please do get in touch. Give me a call on 07951 691302 or drop us an email at info@yogainsideout.co.uk to learn more. Many thanks, Isabel
