I’d love to invite you to our next Yin & Yoga Nidra – Breath of Autumn class 🍂 on Saturday 27th Sept, 11.00–12.15 in Bramhope.

A gentle morning of Yin to release and receive, followed by the deep rest of Yoga Nidra. Perfect for this seasonal shift. ✨

All welcome – hope you can join me 💛

🍂 Yoga this September – 'Balance Through Transition'.

September is a month of change — the light shifts, routines return, and nature reminds us that transition is part of life.

In our yoga practice this term, we’ll explore how to meet change with steadiness and grace. Through mindful breath, grounding postures, and moments of rest, we’ll balance Tapas (discipline, effort) with Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender, trust).

🧘‍♀️ Classes are open to all levels. Come as you are, leave feeling grounded and refreshed.

This week we gather for our final Yoga classes before the summer pause,

Our theme is: “Celebrate Your Inner Light In Full Bloom. ”Everything I need is already within me.”

It is a celebration of the light that lives within each of us. Like the sun at its peak, we’ll move through this practice with radiance and steadiness.

It’s a reminder that everything we search for — strength, clarity, joy, peace — already lives inside us.

Through breath, mindful movement, and rest, we’ll explore this inner light, nurturing it gently like sunlight on a garden.
Let this practice be both a celebration and a return — to yourself, to your heart, and to the wisdom already within you.

Also, in August (2nd and 23rd) I offer Yin & Yoga Nidra Saturday classes at Bramhope Village Hall, 11-12.15 pm. Please message me to book !

We are back to regular weekly classes from 1st September.

Today in our Yin Yoga class we started balancing ourselves for Spring 🌱

Many of the practices today targeted the side of the body and the inner legs where the gallbladder and liver meridians runs. According to the traditional Chinese medicine these two energy pathways are related to the wood element which tends to go out of balance in Spring 🌼.

The next opportunity to take time for yourself, to shake up winter... and wake up to Spring is next Saturday 8th of March at Tribe Headingley yoga studio, 11:30-1:30 pm. Everybody is welcome!

To book: www.tribeheadingley.co.uk

Hope to see you on the mat!

The next Yin Yoga beginners class on Saturday 15th Feb, 11-12 noon at Robert Craven Memorial Hall Bramhope is fully booked now, but please let me know if you would like more details or to book a place for the next one - 1st March.

Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to more active styles of yoga and any spots.

Functional approach based on the teaching of Paul and Suzee Grilley.
