Thank You Thank You Thank You 💜✨️ Lesley Murray dropped me a wee message after I handed all our Donations into the Foodbank today. We raised £120 and some food was handed in also. Every year we do this you guys are amazing. It all stays in our own Community which makes it so much more special. 💜✨️

How do you guys feel about Yin and Trataka tonight and Thursday?
A slow down from the chaos of the C word shopping?
Just have a plain candle handy that you can have sitting at eye level if the answer is yes 💜✨️

Good Afternoon lovely Yogis 😁💜 Classes this week and next week:
Tonight is all about you - we will do a "what do you need" impromptu class. This means you tell me on the comments when you log on to the live and I shall take you from where you are at that moment and make a class around what each of you ask for.

This Thursday and NEXT Monday will be the Food Drive classes and Lesley has requested donations again. So instead of paying for THURSDAY and MONDAY next week, you pop a cash donation into an envelope, either put it through my door or hand it in on Thursday at the Church Hall. That way donations are Anonymoys and I will just hand the envelopes to the food bank as we did last year 😁

Thursday and Monday will also be our Christmas themed classes 😂😂😂 Because you know how much I love making up stupid pose names 😂😂

Next Thursday the 11th December, the Hall class is off as I am on a two day course through Men Matters Hub in Drumchapel for ASIST Training. This means I'll not get back in time for getting to the hall.

I hope you all enjoyed that this evening Yogis 😁 And I'm looking for your thoughts on two things:
1. In January a longer Yin Yoga class, online so it can be longer, to be able to immerse in the postures more 💜 for Yes or 😝 for No

2. I've figured out how to download class and save it to Google Drive, giving you access to the class again after it's finished. Would it be helpful if I made a WhatsApp Group for the Online Class and pop the link in the group for those of you who pay for class, but then miss it due to work? Facebook only saves it for 4 weeks now 💜 for Yes 😝 for No

✨ This Week’s Class I'm thinking of Yin Yoga✨
This is what I've been thinking about over the weekend - What's your thoughts? Yin okay or do you guys need a bit more movement instead?
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Tomorrow night we’ll slow everything down with a 45-minute floor-based Yin sequence focused on mental and emotional wellbeing.
Gentle hip and heart openers, supported twists, and lots of nurturing stillness to help you soften, release, and reset.

If you’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed or in need of grounding, this one’s for you. 💜
Sometimes we just need to let the world fall away for a while 🌙🧘‍♀️

I posted this content on my Work Wellbeing Teams post today, and I thought you lively Yogis would like it too 💜 We all need a wee mid week pick me up ✨️💜

Midweek 5-Minute Standing Yoga Refresh ✨

Take 5 minutes today to pause, stretch, and reset — no mat needed. These gentle standing poses will help you reconnect with your breath and feel more grounded for the rest of the week. 🌞

1️⃣ Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
🌿 Stand tall, feet grounded.
💬 Affirmation: “I am steady, strong, and supported.”

2️⃣ Standing Side Stretch
🌬️ Reach arms overhead, lean gently side to side.
💬 Affirmation: “I open to new energy and flow with ease.”

3️⃣ Forward Fold (Uttanasana)
🌻 Soften knees, fold from the hips, let your arms hang.
💬 Affirmation: “I release what I no longer need.”

4️⃣ Chair Pose (Utkatasana)
🔥 Bend knees, reach arms forward or up, spine long.
💬 Affirmation: “I am powerful, balanced, and full of life.”

5️⃣ Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)
⚔️ Step one foot back, open hips, arms extended.
💬 Affirmation: “I stand in my strength with calm focus.”

6️⃣ Return to Mountain
🌸 Inhale to rise, exhale hands to heart.
💬 Affirmation: “I return to stillness, refreshed and renewed.”

To Finish:
🕊️ Take one deep breath in… and one long breath out.
You have everything you need within you to move through this week with grace. 🌼

So I thought I'd share these with you lovely Yogis 💜✨️ These were the two courses I completed. The breath work one I started ages ago and then life got in the way so I'd left it a while. So I used last to complete that one and also do the Mental Health one. I loved both💜 Both are recognised by Yoga Alliance Professionals as continuing education so I'll need to remember and update my profile.
