The Breath Moves the Mind 🌬️🤍

"Your breath is like a barometer that registers both your mental conditions and physical conditions. Breath is the bridge between the body and your thinking process called mind" - Swami Rama, Conscious Living

Our unit for April and May is one I've been sitting on for a while! Over the next 8 weeks, we will discover together the incredible connection between breath, nervous system regulation, and our mental wellbeing 💆🏼‍♀️

This will be a largely anatomy based unit wait no STOP!! Before you nod off - the link between anatomy and yogic philosophy is FASCINATING (my Roman Empire fr)!!

There's a reason yogis have talked for centuries about our energy and our being as if we can tap in to some kind of higher power. On the packet, Nervous System Regulation might sound clinical and dull, but the results are TRULY magical and life altering ✨

Empowering myself with information about our anatomy, paired with learning how to regulate my ANS (Autonomic Nervous System! Get your mind out the gutter 🙄) has TRANSFORMED me as a person. All I want to do in my role as teacher is share this magic with you 🤍

Hope to see you on the mat some time!

✨☀️ Let Light In ☀️✨

Our until for March is a seasonal one - all about bringing more lightness and warmth to our practises as we shift between winter and spring 🌻

As well as talking about Ayurveda and how we might move during Kapha Dosha season - literally bringing light to our practises - we explore what this means in a broader sense...

Jung famously told us "What you resit persists". By illuminating parts of our minds; bodies; behaviour, we can bring them forward in to the light. What you resists persists, but what we illuminate can dissolve.

Discover your power and connect to your inner light 🌞

Join me on the mat! Find my public teaching schedule pinned on my page, or visit bookwhen.com/sophieoyoga to join our Tuesday morning practise, online & in person!

🧘‍♀️ Join Laura Wilson for a Free Yogamatters Community Class! 🧘‍♂️

We are excited to invite you to the upcoming Yoga Matters Community Class with Laura Wilson, "Yoga for the Nervous System." Mark your calendars for Tuesday, 10th October, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM – it's an event you won't want to miss!

Shake off your stress and come home to your Self. When we are braced against life’s challenges, we can miss the subtle moments that make life special. Whether you are wired, tired, low, overwhelmed (or all the above!) this practice is here for you. By inviting you to both ‘lift’ and ‘lower’ the autonomic nervous system, Laura will offer you the space to let go of the protective mechanisms that hold you in your suffering and move you towards a place of balance and regulation. The class will include breath, movement and meditation. While Laura is trauma-informed, not every practice may be suitable for every body, and you are encouraged to discern what feels right for you, moment to moment.

📅 Save the Date 📅
Date: Tuesday, 10th October
Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

💻 How to Register 💻
To secure your spot in this free community class follow this link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/yoga-for-the-nervous-system-with-laura-tickets-709392069777?aff=oddtdtcreator

Spread the word, invite your friends and family, and let's come together for a session on October 10th! 🌼🙏

Our first session in the park was lovely 💚🍃

We enjoyed connecting to the nature around us, and taking time to mindfully move - but we might’ve enjoyed the impromptu puppy yoga even more! 🐾

Moffat and Toffee popped by for some hugs and bum scritches! Come along to our Friday practises to catch some more puppy love 🐶

03/08/2023

Community Yoga in the park! 🌞💛

Join us on Fridays in august! I’ll guide you through a gentle practise, while we connect to the season and ourselves 🌻

For all up to date info please join our Facebook group! The link is in my bio, or search Facebook for Leith Community Yoga Practise ☺️

Hope to see you on the mat!

💕💘 Love Yourself First 💖✨

In our practises this month, we’re going to be exploring a little self love 💗

It’s something we hear and talk about a lot, but I think there are a lot of misconceptions about how we show love for ourselves.
Self love is very different from the love we have for others - it is not infatuation or obsession, but long term compassion which needs to be nurtured.

Join me for a practise! Come along in person (see my schedule on the second slide) or check out my Patreon (link in bio!) for on-demand online offerings 💫
