This is tonight! Please get in touch to book on I’m doing these every month till the end of the year so hopefully I will see you at one of them.

Yoga teachers need support, it can feel like a lonely journey especially being self employed at this time.

It doesn’t matter whether you are very experienced or a brand new teacher you are so welcome to join me.

My Autumn roses, the last blooms in my garden are a reminder of the slow transition towards natures slumber.

And this slow transition means we too have periods of blooming and fading at this time of year. Some days we are full power alive and vital and other days we feel the call of the duvet!
This is ok, but having a gentle steady practice that helps us to balance our energy is so helpful.

The Svastha yoga approach to yoga is one which helps move us toward a state of being ‘established in one’s self’.so a feeling of presence, stability and clarity is what we are cultivating.

I am offering a number of opportunities to work with this over the next few months and all my October activities are on my website https://janecraggs.co.uk/events-workshops/.

Do get in touch if you would like to book onto any of these events.

Whether you are a recently qualified teacher or like me have been doing this for a very long time, it is always helpful to connect and share.

Now more than ever it can feel very challenging to be self employed and also to often be working in isolation.

I have been teaching now for over 25 years and mentoring teachers since 2011.

Please get in touch if you would like to book and I will send you the zoom link.

Hello everyone, I hope that you are keeping warm and dry during this stormy spell we are having!

I just wanted to let you know that I now have 5 spaces available on this beautiful retreat. Quite a few people have had to drop out and I know times are tricky. That is why I have flexible payment plans that you can continue after the retreat is over.
Please contact me to discuss and I will do my best to make it accessible for you.

Taking this tim for practice and peace is a long term gift to yourself ( or someone else) and it is the gift that keeps giving!

I know that I have been so so quiet of late and slow to post. It has been a strange time getting used to my changed capacity for memory and I think I have found my balance!

So here are my first offerings for autumn. More coming for later in the year and I will be announcing pranayama and next years training dates too.

I have had 50 percent of my bookings for Whalley Abbey cancel, so still plenty of spaces there 31st Oct-2nd Nov.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of this!
Looking forward to seeing you again.

Love Jane

As I have just returned from a refreshing break ( not a retreat) I thought it would be good to remind you that you can take an autumn break with me!

From 31 Oct to 2nd November I will be guiding a lovely autumn retreat at the stunning Whalley abbey just outside Manchester close to Clitheroe,Lancs.

This will be a restful weekend to help us transition into autumn with gentle soothing practices to help us build resilience for the seasonal shifts.

You will have nourishing food, wonderful company and amazing practice sessions to help support you.

There are still spaces so get in touch soon to book your place!

Let this be your natural break before the countdown to the craziness of the festive season.

Can’t wait to hear from you!

Last night I taught a beautiful class in Liverpool to a small group of African men living with HIV in my Volunteer role with .

I am frequently touched by the power of these practices to support and transform and even more so when teaching groups who don’t normally get access to yoga.

I truly believe that yoga is for everyone however not everyone is privileged enough to come into contact with it or be able to afford to do it.

It can feel disappointing when we brush up against entitlement and ennui in more affluent yoga settings, and this is the reason I have always tried to prioritise reaching underserved populations.

These men were polite, engaged, respectful and really loved the practice.There is a level of receptivity which I have encountered before in these groups. One man said ‘How have I reached this age and never done this before?!’

The reward in sharing these practices goes far beyond material compensation. And to be able to offer tools to enable self discovery and potential transformation is a huge gift.We all win in these encounters and I hope that the sharing will continue for many years to come!

For more information about how to work with me please feel free to get in contact, go to my website or join my mailing list.

I am feeling tired but grateful this morning for the amazing opportunity I just had to help spread the teachings of Svastha yoga through the beautiful wisdom of Nitya Mohan.

Thank you to the lovely group of students who attended both the Yoga for Women and the Sound for Well Being workshops. Such a wonderful community committed to the practice and to sharing yoga which is true to its roots as well as accessible to everyone.

It’s time to start thinking about retreats again!! still have some spaces on my autumn/ Samhain retreat at the beautiful venue, Whalley Abbey near Clitheroe Lancashire.
The wonderful thing about this venue is its proximity to Manchester, just a short train ride or road trip away.
It is situated in the middle of a small village, however when night falls it is so quiet with only bats populating the grounds!
I love sharing these special weekends with my groups and I hope that you can join me for what promises to be a beautiful few days to step out of the fast pace of your life and rest deeply in preparation for the shorter days and colder weather.

Contact me asap to reserve a space .

My view every night from 7 ish the last few days!
I wanted to let you know that I haven’t been posting, sending emails or very many text messages as I have had concussion and my concentration was not great.

It was just a routine event for a tall person!Standing up and hitting my head on the cupboard door, but it was pretty intense.

So following a visit to an and e to make sure no serious damage had occurred I was advised to rest often , avoid excessive screen use and anything over taxing.

So apologies if I haven’t been in touch, have forgotten an appointment or anything else.

I am slowly mending and will be leading tomorrow’s Unwinding the Mind Session.

But please bear with me over the next week or so as I gradually get back into things.

Love and shanti

These roses! Such a symbol of the height of summer, the fragrance, the colour and the absolute cheek of them! These were a birthday present from an old friend and each year they just get better and bolder.

There is something deeply celebratory about these mid summer flowers, such outrageous colours, bigger and more flamboyant than the delicacy of the spring blooms.

I hope that this image brings you a reminder of what is beautiful and uplifting and soothes your restless or clouded mind just for a moment as you pause your scrolling!
