Did you know that gratitude can completely change your life?

Recently, I've been exploring the small things we can change to make us feel better in our daily lives, and gratitude is an easy one to implement. You can start by identifying 3 things you're grateful for - you can do this right now or grab a little gratitude notebook and make it a daily practice at bedtime.

Research shows that practising gratitude like this can actually change our brains, programming them to start looking for the positives. This is like a little bit of magic, and it really can make all the difference.

Yin Yoga gives us a chance to slow down and take a break from the busyness of daily life. Yin invites us to take a breath, to reset and to work with the tissues and fascia of the body.

As a Yin Yoga teacher, I will help you to access postures using props to support the body, and we will hold postures for around 3-5 minutes to really feel the benefit.

Join me on Wednesdays to transform the way you feel 🙏

Good morning from Namaste Barn!

I took this beautiful photo while I enjoyed the sunshine at the weekend - this is the most perfect view for morning coffee and for rolling out the yoga mat!

Claude is also enjoying the weather; there's nothing he likes more than to stretch out in the sun. We can learn a lot from animals, especially about listening to our bodies and taking rest when we need it.

TRE shows us another way we can learn from animals, as they naturally use the tremoring reflex that helps us to release tension and trauma from our bodies in this somatic therapy.

TRE is a wonderful way to process the emotions that have kept us stuck, enabling us to move forward in a new and positive way.

I offer yoga with TRE so that you can explore this incredible tool for yourself in a supportive and held space, on Mondays at Namaste Barn. I also offer one to one sessions as a TRE Practitioner, and I will be happy to discuss the options if you think this could be the right approach for you.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Much love, Jo x

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in your body?

TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) might be the answer you need.

TRE is a powerful, body-based approach to releasing deep tension and stress. It is based on a series of simple exercises designed to gently activate your body’s natural shaking response. This tremoring is a natural way to regulate the nervous system, and we often see animals using this reflex when they shake after a shock or traumatic event.

TRE can enable:

• Reduced anxiety and stress
• Better sleep
• Relief for muscle tension and pain
• Improved emotional resilience
• A deep sense of calm and grounding

TRE is not about talking or reliving experiences, it’s about allowing the body to release stored stress, trauma, and emotional pressure.

If you’re been feeling on edge, burned out, or disconnected, TRE could help you reconnect with your body and find balance again.

Discover TRE in Neurogenic Yoga with TRE at Namaste Barn on Mondays.

Please get in touch if you have any questions!

The world has been heavy lately, and I've been focusing on some small things that can make a big difference to our lives. Today, I'm thinking about the benefits we gain from chatting with a friend.

In an age of text messages and rushing, we often don't find the time to connect in person or over a phone call. Making time to really relax into a chat and catch up properly can help us to feel human connection and build positivity for both parties.

Call someone you miss chatting with, or arrange a coffee date with a friend to talk, laugh and appreciate your time together.

This beautiful quote reminds us that there are many benefits to being in tune with the world around us, and this is a wonderful time of the year to slow down and appreciate the scenery.

Sometimes it is tempting to rush towards our destination, to tick off our accomplishments and move on to the next goal. However, if we can master the art of patience, we can really enjoy the journey.

Today, take a moment to notice the view and how you are feeling. Being present in your own life is an incredible gift and it starts when you connect with yourself.

Did you know that we have a beautiful Airbnb Cabin for visitors to this stunning part of Devon?

Our cabin sleeps up to six (sorry no children under 12), and is a wonderful space to relax and call home while you explore the area. We are close to the sea and to Dartmoor, and the city of Exeter is just a few miles away.

The gardens and land at Namaste Barn spread over 5.5 acres, and guests are welcome to enjoy the garden and the fire pit. The Cabin also has its own decking veranda, which is the perfect spot for morning coffee!

The brick built larch clad Cabin is finished to a high standard, inviting you to have a cosy and comfortable stay. The beds are deliciously comfortable and we provide refreshing toiletries for you to pamper yourselves and thick soft cotton towels for a little luxury.

We also have a two bedroom Airbnb, The Stable, which sleeps 4.

You'll find all the details on Airbnb, or you can get in touch to find out more.

Becoming a yoga teacher is a journey, and when you qualify as a 500+ hr yoga teacher, the real work begins with teaching regular classes and learning to tune into the needs of students.

Here at Namaste Barn, most of our teachers have trained with the Devon School of Yoga, and we host the residential weekends for new trainees!

We offer classes and workshops, as well as retreats, and you’ll find our full schedule on our website. We’d love to welcome you 😊

This year, I've been focusing on small things that can lead to big changes. Today, I'm thinking about our relationships with technology, and how we can break bad habits.

This small thing is subjective. If you are aware that you often have your phone in your hand, you can challenge yourself to put it away during conversations or to spend ten minutes with it in a different room. If you don't feel that you are reliant on your phone, perhaps ensuring that you do not have it in the room where you sleep could be a positive change.

Making small changes that can contribute to a more positive outlook is all about finding what works for you. It's a bit like yoga! Which, incidentally, is a wonderful way to take a break from technology and tune into yourself.

Let me know about the small things you're changing in your life...

When people gather with intention, that's when magic happens.

Community is an important part of yoga, putting our connections with others at the heart of our practice.

When you walk into the yoga studio, you're not just joining a class. You're becoming a part of a community and I feel so lucky to be part of the community here at Namaste Barn.

Whether you're a beginner or you've been doing yoga for years, you belong here. Everyone is welcome.
