Another lovely 😍 class this evening with this gorgeous bunch of people. The class has a real sense of community and everyone is welcome as they are. I’ve been teaching Ashtanga for 10 months and I love coming into this space to share my practise with such lovely people. From the people who come every week, to those who come along once in a while, to those who only come along once! Everyone is welcome!

Primary Series - Inversions

This was the my yoga class last night as we approached the end of the finishing sequence for our practise.

The Primary Series traditionally calls for a headstand. I know that sometimes people (myself included) don’t feel too comfortable practising headstand in public or just practising headstand at all. It can feel big and advanced and risky.

Whilst overcoming our ego and getting to know our bodies is a part of our practise, we can only do that in a safe space.

If you want to do a headstand, go for it. If you want to have time in Downward Facing Dog 🐶 , that’s up to you too! If slowly, week by week, your called to go out of your comfort zone, wonderful. If one week a headstand is needed and the next a dolphin 🐬- great!

The practise, for me, requires an inversion. Head below heart, a change of perspective, a different view of the world. Going with that approach leads to the lovely diversity that you see in this photo and a class which welcomes all and hopefully encourages a safe space for growth. 🌱 💛

💛 Step into Spring Workshop 💛

Shanti Bee - Holistic Wellbeing Centre - this Friday 15th April at 7:00pm

In this workshop we will be working mainly with the Solar Plexus Chakra - just below the chest. It represents self-esteem, willpower, pleasure and personal responsibility.

As we really start to embrace Spring and all that comes with it, we can begin to embrace our sense of self away. Maybe we’ve felt like the winter has been a period of hibernation and making ourselves small, this will be an opportunity for you to really step into your power!

The workshop will begin with some pranayama (breath work) where we will explore different ways of using the breath to ignite our inner fires. We will then go through a dynamic asana flow focused on the Manipuri chakra accompanied by live percussion. We’ll finish the session with a dreamy guided meditation and extra long savasana. At the end, there will also be time to share some treats and tea.

This should set you up to embrace the long weekend as your truest, most confident self.

If you want anymore details, drop me a message.

See you on the mat!

I came to Ashtanga quite late in my yoga life. I had always practised dynamic flows enjoying the mindfulness that comes when you have to focus on the present moment when you don’t know what’s happening next. I still love those too and am thankful for my varied practise!

When I first tried Ashtanga, I felt that it could be prohibitive to my yoga practise- the same poses every day! But the more I practised, the more I found in Ashtanga.

You know where you’re going, you can move mindfully, you can notice how you feel, truly feel the feelings move through your body. You can surrender, you can challenge, you can just turn up and see how it goes. You can challenge yourself physically with the asana, but when you get familiar with it, there are so many other things to explore.

It’s a great practise, I would love you to join me at on a Weds evening to try it out!
