There is a special extended class on this Saturday in the Shizen Studio instead of the regular one at Thomas Chalmers Centre.
From 0900-1000 we will practice Hatha yoga but then from 1000 - 1030 we will have a nice bit of time to focus on meditation.
Of course if you are not able to stay for the full hour and a half, there will be a pause at 1000 for anyone who needs to leave quietly before the meditation begins.
As ever, classes cost is donation based!
Looking forward to it!

I just can’t seem to shake this cough… Which is not very conducive to a relaxing yoga class! So I will take the week off and rest my chest and throat, hopefully for a gran return next week.
Apologies to all - anybody who has already paid will be refunded.

Did you know humming is an incredible mental health tool? It can stop intrusive or obsessive thinking in it’s tracks and keep you firmly in your body. I have a tutorial for modified bee breath (Bhramari) over on YouTube if you want to give it a shot!

I love the smell of home baking :)
People often ask how I have the time to have fresh biscuits and honestly it couldn’t be simpler!
You can choose a simple recipe like a shortbread, double the recipe and store it in the fridge. Just roll out enough on the day for what you want to eat.
Sometimes we will only bake 9 biscuits so we have three each for our afternoon tea. Other days more if we have guests.
The dough lasts a good few days in the fridge and also freezes well.
Here are some pictures of a gingerbread biscuit we did the other week.
It’s so fun getting my wee one involved in the process, you can see he is an artist with the icing sugar ;)
Comment if you’d like my top three recipes for easy biscuits and I will send them over to you!

It’s time to get cosy!
This Saturday’s class will be our first restorative class of the year so far.
We do one once a month as a lovely break from the usual Hatha style.

What is restorative yoga?
Restorative yoga is the practice of asanas (postures), held for longer than the more common styles.
But we are not talking holding a headstand for 5 minutes! The postures are soft, releasing and almost always supported with pillows, blankets and bolsters.
It’s a lovely time to cultivate a meditation practice or simply allow yourself to be a witness to yourself.
These long holds can be accompanied by live tongue drum music, sound healing, poems to meditate to but also often is the space for silence.
Stillness and silence. Two very rare things in this modern age!

If it sounds like something you’d like to try, book into this Saturday’s class - a pay by donation class, so that it is accessible to everyone no matter their financial situation.
