In The Flow

In The Flow is for those that seek to find flow in movement and life. Being receptive to the rhythms Our true nature is unique, beautiful and free.

In The Flow is founded by Rachel Gosling, yoga teacher, lover of dance, movement and life. Rachel has always been a "mover" but found her full expression through yoga, as she recovered from physical and mental dis-ease. Yoga not only became a therapy to wellness, it also became a re-discovery of her true nature. When we are true to ourselves we fulfil our dharma or life's purpose. We are in alignment. We are in our flow. This is the key message in Rachel's teachings and the purpose of In The Flow. In The Flow is continually changing, evolving and, well..... going with the flow. Rachel has specialised training in Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Womb Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Post-natal Yoga, Yoga for Dancers, Yoga Nidra and the therapeutic teachings of the KYM in Chennai, India. She has benefited from the wisdom and knowledge of many wonderful teachers, for whom she is truly grateful. Rachel often draws on these teachings directly, but more often than not, she is drawn to expressing that which comes up in the moment and the influences of a lived practice of being In The Flow. As she, herself, is faced with the daily challenges of stress, overwhelm and sometimes even physical pain, she is drawn to share the deeply nurturing and nourishing practices that keep one connected within, rather than striving to attain.

Yoga Nidra // Friday 17th October // 6:30-8pm // Om Is Where The Heart Is

For those of you who are exhausted, depleted, and need to replenish your own cup. This is the mother of all savasanas.

This ancient practice of the yogis allows the body and mind to drop into a state of deep rest and relaxation. It is said that 30 minutes in Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2-4 hours of sleep.

The practice requires nothing more of you than to show up. The majority of the class will be lying down and staying still so because absolutely no physical movement is required, this workshop is suitable for everybody. Nothing is required from you at all. Simply to be there is enough.

Restorative Yoga | Friday 19th September
6:30-8pm ✨
Om Is Where The Heart Is (Slaithwaite)

Restorative yoga is a slow, gentle, quiet practice of yoga, where the body remains still for much of the time, triggering the mind to follow that stillness into deep, deep relaxation.

We use physical positions to affect the flow of energy, alleviate physical symptoms and calm the mind, but unlike other forms of yoga, no effort is required. The more the body can relax, the more your mind can rest into that quiet space within.

In restorative yoga you will use bolsters, blankets and other props to support and hold the body. Much attention is given to the detail to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. With just a small adjustment of a cushion or covering, your nervous system responds giving you an enormous sense of peace and calm.
This is a chance to truly take care of yourself, giving yourself the love and care that you deserve.

“A big thank you to Rachel for the Restorative session on Friday evening.
I used to go to sessions with James every week and have really missed them.
The supported poses allow your body to relax completely which is sometimes difficult to do in life. To relax completely has such a positive effect on well being it is a vital thing to be able to do for both body and mind. I urge anyone who has not yet tried Restorative Yoga to give it a go, I can't praise it highly enough. Thank you again Rachel.”

Just over a week until Yin Yoga for Stress Relief with Rachel.

This is our last workshop for the summer, whilst our regular timetable continues as usual, the longer, deeper, more specialised sessions will resume in September.

Friday 25th July | 6:30-8pm

Yin Yoga for Stress Relief with Rachel

You know how we do all the holiday prep on the outside? Hair, nails, waxing? Consider a class like this to be your energetic prep.

All the things you carry, work, family, mental load manifest in your body as physical tension, which of course, over time then block our energetic systems.

Timed perfectly for you to go into summer break having had the opportunity to leave it all on the mat so you can bring the best version of yourself to the areas of life that really matter.

Booking has now opened for Yin Yoga for Stress Relief via Courses in Glofox or this link: http://bit.ly/OMworkshops

Not really a yoga related post! Just sharing some photos from a lovely night away that I had in Bridlington. (To go on the puffin cruise with the RSPB)

I've been so wrapped up in work and a busy life that I had forgotten how good it is for my soul to spend some time away by myself in nature.

Now I am feeling grounded and refreshed and looking forward to sharing yoga with you all this week 😊

Yoga Nidra 💤

Can you allow Rachel will be the space-holder for your remembering in Yoga Nidra?

Friday 16th May
6:30-8pm

No crazy movement required here.

No movement at all in fact.

An hour and a half in Savasana.

Notice how reading that lands in your body? "I could never", "what, just lie there?" "there are a million and one other things I could do with that time" (remember, I see you because I am you!).

But these are the tender spots we bump up against on our plight to remembering, the places where we either open up to receive, or close down and block out.

Here's the official blurb:

Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is the practice of profound rest. This is the mother of all Savasanas.

This ancient practice of the yogis allows the body and mind to drop into a state of deep rest and relaxation. It is said that 30 minutes in Yoga Nidra, is equivalent to 2-4 hours of sleep. Through the practice, brainwaves lower to delta and the autonomic nervous system moves into a parasympathetic state, often referred to as rest and digest. In this place of deep relaxation your body and mind are able to rest and restore. Much healing can take place.

It is also in this place of deep relaxation that you can be receptive to your own innermost knowing and inner guidance. From this place you will be invited to set your heartfelt intention (known as a Sankalpa).

During the practice, your mind will be guided toward awareness of sensation, feeling, imagery and the space of peace and calm that resides within.
You will be expertly guided through this experience and out the other end, feeling rested, recharged and refreshed.
The practice requires nothing more of you than to show up. The majority of the class will be laying down and staying still. Please do wrap up warm as your body temperature will drop. You may also want to bring extra blankets and cushions for your comfort.
As absolutely no physical movement is required, this workshop is suitable for absolutely everybody. Nothing is required from you at all.
Simply to be there is enough.

Rachel’s Story

Hi, my name is Rachel Gosling from In The Flow. All the posts, and pictures are from me. Here is a little bit about how I got here.

I have always been a "mover" and a dancer, from conception I believe. But dancing for me was never about the show. It was about how it made me feel. And as I was not going to be a “professional” dancer (apparently) I was convinced to let it go.

However, in my early 20’s I happened upon Salsa! This led me down the path of many other Latin dances and then swing dances such as Lindy-hop. This is what I had been searching for. This is what I had already known. I felt a real connection and sense of being present. I experienced such connection to the music and my body, as well as freedom and joy to express it.

By my late 20’s, the health issues that had niggled at me for years (anxiety, exhaustion and joint pain) became so acute that I was unable to move at all. Not one morsel of movement… and for me, this felt as though I had lost connection to my true essence. This was a time of deep mental struggle. For questions about life and it’s importance.

It was a dark place at times, but thankfully, I was driven out of that dark place by a determination to find connection to my essence again. Despite medics consoling me that I would have to find a way to adapt and find joy in other things, I was determined to dance.

Recovery was slow and came in many ways, including with the help of medication and health professionals, but I am of the firm believe that my condition (which was diagnoses as inflammatory arthritis) is deeply rooted in mental stress. I found yoga, something that I had “practised” in some form for many years, was the most useful tool of all and it was during this time that I fell in love.

It was through yoga that I could finally find a way to move my body gently and with kindness. It was through yoga that I could witness the small changes: from my bottom being 3 ft away from my heels in child at the start of class, to my bottom being 1 ft away by the end. It was through yoga that I could witness my frustration and inclination to be hard on myself when my hamstrings were not as loose as they used to be, or I just couldn’t hold a plank because my wrists would not allow. And yes, there were a lot of tears. So many tears. It was through yoga that I faced myself, and it was not always easy. But it was through yoga that I could see a way to change. Not to change my body, although that did happen, but mainly to change my mind. To alter my nervous system to induce relaxation and calm, and to be honest, it was from here where most of the healing came.

It has been my own experience that has drawn me towards therapeutic style of yoga and methods of teaching. It is because I have experienced the benefits so profoundly, and although we are all individual, I believe that stress, speed of life and unnecessary pressure, is the real pandemic, and I hope to be part of the cure.

I still love to dance, but to be honest, yoga has taken over my life in such a way that I do not do it as much any more. Unlike dancing, which, although is wonderful for the soul, can sometimes be hard on my joints, yoga allows me to connect with my essence and joy and is also healing for my body at the same time. Besides, as I am approaching 40 and balance and calm is my main focus, I just can’t hack the late night parties and lack of sleep anymore.... but I am still so full of joy!
