After a wonderful four week series of accessible Yoga classes at Treherbert OAP hall, I am delighted to share that we have been granted more funding to carry on the classes, thanks to Play It Again Sport.

The classes have changed to a different day, so that I can attended classes in Yoga One in Penarth on Friday mornings. We'll meet instead at 10.30 on Mondays, starting next week!

I've loved these past 4 weeks, meeting so many lovely ladies, and sharing the gentle gifts of Yoga with them, and I am so excited to be able to carry on!

Please get in touch if you have any questions, and please tag anyone you think might be interested.

love,

Esther

It's a busy week of Yoga this week!

Tomorrow, let's meet at Canolfan Pentre at 7pm. Practice on a mat or a chair, or a mix of both, make the Practice yours.

Sadly there's *no Chair and Chat* this week as I have to take my Dad to a hospital appointment. We'll be back next week!

On Thursday, we have pregnancy yoga at Cwmparc Community Centre. You can join in person or on zoom, drop me a message to book your place.

And on Friday we're starting a 4 week block of classes at Treherbert OAP Hall, in partnership with Play It Again Sport. This will be suitable for all abilities, with modifications for all poses to suit your needs.

Tomorrow, its also time for Slow Down with Esther on Rhondda Radio 106.1 + 97.5FM, online and on DAB. Join me at 10pm for some relaxing tunes and chilled out vibes to ease you into your bed time

This week on Slow Down with Esther on Rhondda Radio 106.1 + 97.5FM, online and on DAB

Let’s slow down around the idea that we’re behind.

Behind where we thought we’d be.
Behind who we thought we’d be by now.
Behind an invisible timeline that nobody ever really agreed to.

Feeling behind isn’t a personal failure.

It’s often a nervous system response to pressure, comparison, and a world that rushes us.

Nothing has gone wrong.
Something has slowed.

If you need a gentler voice in your evening, I’ll be on Rhondda Radio tomorrow night.
Come as you are.

I was born to two teachers, so learning and teaching has always been a big part of my life and identity.

Today, I'm having a study day today. Reviewing and catching up with Yoga for Menopause teacher training with Yoga Medicine by Tiffany Cruikshank this morning.

And this afternoon, I'll be joining the first live call of my Thai Yoga Massage training. The course is online, but I'm part of a study and practice group, so I'll get to learn in person as well. I trained in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with James Winstanley about 10 years ago, and loved it, so I'm looking forward to getting back to doing some massage.

I've also got a bit of homework to finish for my Yoga Nidra training, so I'll complete that later so I can get my certificate!

I'll be bringing the Yoga for Menopause training into my teaching soon, maybe with a dedicated class for people in Menopause. Watch this space!

What are you doing today? How are you nourishing your mind/body

I'm feeling poorly today, with a cough that has been hanging around for about a week now, and seems to be getting worse.

So I'm going to cancel tonight's Yin Yoga class in Cwmparc Community Centre. I don't want to risk passing anything infectious on, and I can barely go 5 minutes without coughing, so it wouldn't be a great experience for any of us!

I'll be spending the day resting, and catching up on my Menopause Yoga study from Yoga Medicine by Tiffany Cruikshank. I've only got two more weeks of the course and then I'll be able to take my exam, so I really do need the study time! With Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts as well as a deep exploration of what happens in the body in the menopause journey, there's a lot to learn! I wish I'd learned this a few years ago, it would have helped me manage my menopause transition a lot better if I'd understood it better, but now I'm through it, I can use what I'm learning to help others.

What are your biggest menopause challenges?
