I wonder if you can help? A friend of mine, with very limited movement, is looking for a carer to join her friendly team of carers. She is looking for a lady to come in on Tuesdays 9.30am til 2.30pm, and possibly other shifts to cover absences.

This is a PA role, with tasks including getting her set up on iPad to listen to her favourite podcasts and for telephone conversations. No heavy lifting and very little personal care, just washing her face, making breakfast and feeding her, and ensuring she takes her medication.

If you are interested in this rewarding role, and I can tell she's an inspiring character, then do get in touch and I will let you know contact details. Thank you 😊

Bridge is a lovely posture for summer. You can feel and see how it opens the front of the body, said to take heat away from the chest and abdomen, supporting the heart and intestines which might enjoy a bit more help in summer.

The other great thing about Bridge is that whilst most back bends are energising, Bridge actually has a calming effect on the nervous system due to the position of the head and neck in relation to the chest, making it a nice posture to do before bed.

Why not give it a go every day this week and see what happens!? I'd love to hear :)

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

I love this strong twist, but I certainly don't find it an easy one! Let's have a look at how we can make it more comfortable. Starting as always with the preparation, particularly important as this is a strong move.

I like to warm my spine first and let it know what position I am moving into with simple lying twists (see photo). You can play around with the distance between the feet. I also like the universal twist, the one with the foot on the knee as that feels like the start of the posture.

Other body preps I like to do include a hamstring stretch, working on my hip flexors, my gluteals (especially the piriformis region), inner thighs, across my chest and focus on putting space between the hips and ribs.

It's always worth spending time on preparing the body, then when you are in a posture you can focus on the deeper layers of the asana, moving beyond the physical body.

The sad passing of Ozzy Osbourne earlier this week put me in mind of another lost rocker, our lovely friend and colleague Peter.

Peter would have been all over the Ozzy / Black Sabbath activations ha ha, I've been amusing myself considering what moves he would put to what tune ...

Last week I asked you which your favourite relaxation was. From the comments and your messages the only conclusive thing I discovered is that everyone's favourite and least favourite was different ... which was no help to me at all haha! This is why I rotate the relaxations I share.

My next relaxation question is about the special place relaxation - I'm really interested where you go. I was talking about this one with a couple of people a few weeks ago. One person was in a meadow really focusing on the swishy grass that took her right back to a happy childhood moment. Another was in the Dales on her favourite walk, where she can breathe easily. I'm always on a warm beach listening to the sea. Again, all very different.

If you feel like sharing I'd love to picture your special place :)

I always look forward to meditation group but I am REALLY looking forward to this Friday's session! Why's that? I hear you ask :)

Well, it's because the last couple of sessions we've been practising a new meditation practice, and I'm really excited to see where it takes us! It's a meditation working with the chakras but not in the usual way, this is a meditation I haven't shared anywhere else and it feels special, bringing profound calm and stillness.

If you would like to join us, then do get in touch - Friday July 25th, 6.30 - 7.30pm and just £5.

TUESDAY TRIVIA
The seated forward bend (Paschimottanasana) is one of the really classic asana. One of the first records of it is in the second chapter of the Gheranda Samhita, a 17th century text about Hatha yoga. Here, it is listed as one of thirty-two asana selected as the best postures for our health and wellbeing.

There is also mention of it in an earlier text (somewhere between 15th and 16th century) in the Shiva Samhita, where it is cited as one of the accomplished poses, alone with Lotus and Thunderbolt.

Perhaps it's earliest mention though is in the 15th century text the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, where it is one of just 12 asana recommended.

It must be worth practising!!

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

This tip comes courtesy of my friend and teaching colleague Mona Fairholme and is so good I only ever teach getting up into Dog this way now!

From your all 4's position, lift the knees just half from the floor. Now, without straightening the legs or moving the hands, push your tummy back to connect with your thighs, as close as you can. Keeping the torso in that position start to lift your hips (this is different to just straightening the legs). The legs will naturally lengthen you don't need to think about them, you'll come to a natural stop, which will show you if you need padding under the heels.

I absolutely love this, it's so simple, takes pressure off the shoulders, gets your back in the right line and stops you being a wobbly table ;)
