In two weeks I will be holding some yoga sessions at the Rotherham Crematorium Open Day 🧘🏼‍♀️💖🧘🏻‍♂️ Saturday 9th May, 1pm-4pm.

These sessions will help bring a moment of calm to anyone visiting during the open day. The sessions will be suitable for everyone, whether you have done yoga before or not. We will do some gentle movement, bring awareness to our breath, and take a moment to connect to ourselves, trying to let go of the stress we can all so easily carry.

I am looking forward to this opportunity, and if you want any further information about the open day you can click on the CMG Rotherham Crematorium & Cemeteries link to find their page with info.

With love,
Jodie

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Taster Sessions – Open Day, 9th May 🧘‍♂️

As part of our Open Day on the 9th of May, we’ll be offering short yoga taster sessions throughout the afternoon hosted by Yoga with Jodie - Rotherham/Sheffield

These 15-minute sessions will run three times every hour between 1:00pm and 4:00pm, giving you plenty of opportunity to take part, no matter when you arrive.

Yoga is a gentle and accessible way to support both physical health and mental wellbeing. It can help reduce stress, improve relaxation, and provide a moment of calm in what can often be busy or difficult times.

We also recognise that practices like yoga can be especially supportive during periods of bereavement, offering space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect in a quiet and supportive environment.

Whether you’re completely new to yoga or have tried it before, everyone is welcome to join. If you are interested in this, we advise coming to the open day in something suitable for the session :)

We look forward to seeing you there 💙

JUST A REMINDER!
For anyone that attends Tuesdays yoga class, 6-7pm at Kiveton Park, don’t forget on Tuesday 31st March and Tuesday 7th April, the main road will be closed across Kiveton bridge (Wales Road). If you drive in this way, you’ll need to find a new route on those 2 days.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
And the week after, 14th April, is the one I am on holiday.

Hi everyone! 💛

I’ve had a little ‘re-brand’ I guess you could call it! I thought I’d design a new flyer for our yoga classes and add a picture, which I thought might help anyone who’s new to yoga, put a face to the name and maybe help them feel more comfortable coming along to something they might have not done before if they’ve already seen who the teacher is.

Side note: I used to really hate having my picture taken, critical of myself etc, so in doing this it made me realise how much I’ve grown in my own mindset, and letting go of things I used to have anxiety around. Yoga has been one of the tools, among many others, that has helped completely change my mindset and help my nervous system find safety in what it once didn’t! 💓

And in designing a new flyer I ended up changing the logo as well. I hope you like!

So here’s Yoga with Jodie, 5 years teaching yoga (4 and a 1/2 years of in person classes) with the best community!
My current timetable is still the same.
If you feel called to share the timetable… thank you! 😍

I hope everyone is well, and I hope to practice yoga with you soon 🥰

Hi! 👋🏼
I thought I would reintroduce myself here, as we've had quite a few new people join our yoga community 😌

I’m Jodie! I'm 36. And I have been teaching yoga for 5 years now!

✨ I started practicing yoga when I was 17.

✨ In my early 20’s I lived in Los Angeles for a few years and fell even deeper in love with yoga, attending a class almost daily at my local yoga studio, and it was here I first felt the calling to become a yoga teacher.

✨ My yoga teacher training in 2020 was one of the best experiences. I had to start teaching classes online over Zoom due to the covid lockdowns! Then finally, in June 2021 I began in person classes. We have built an amazing community since then and I am so thankful 🥹

✨ I really like to focus on making yoga available for as many people as possible - showing you can modify yoga to suit your needs/body and it not be some strict routine to follow, and to make a yoga class a mind-body experience to help you release stress, overthinking and tension, and just come back to your true calm self 😌

✨ As well as a yoga teacher I’m a mum to my 7 year old daughter. I began home educating her last year, so this is where a lot of my time and energy goes! My daughter is neurodivergent with quite complex needs so I have the role of a carer too. And as a single parent, life feels very full! I still feel like I'm figuring it all out, and just take it one day at a time 🙏🏼

✨ I’m also mum to my 17 year old cat, Maya, who is from Los Angeles. She’s the sweetest... a beautiful old lady now who sleeps a lot and has gone deaf but loves to cuddle ❤️ I love animals so much!

✨ I have a big passion for natural living and I've been vegan for about 17 years now. I wish I could live even closer to nature, but it's not as easy as we'd like in today's modern world, so I just do the best I can!

✨ I'm really into Nervous System work, which has really changed my life in the past couple of years. I completed a training course in Somatic Trauma Therapy last year, and I hope to do more with this type of work one day. I'd love to work with parents of neurodivergent children in particular.

So that's a little bit about me 🥰 I’m so glad to connect with you all!

Thank you for being here, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending any of my yoga classes.

Sending lots of love and good vibes your way 🙌🏼

🎉 About New Year’s resolutions and goals 🎉

The new year can put so much pressure on us to think we have to make resolutions and goals, make drastic changes to some area of our life, and become a different person. Suddenly. Overnight. All while it's freezing outside and Christmas just made the past two weeks all over the place 🫠

Year after year we make our resolutions and hope this time we will actually stick to them! But most New Year's resolutions end up failing pretty quick.

Why? 🤔

Because we can’t just wake up, live the same way we have been, have the same thoughts, and think we can change at a deep level. If we don't do the inner work, our resolutions likely won't stick.

➡️ We have to change our deep rooted beliefs, how we hold our body, and our nervous system patterns. These are what drive our behaviours and choices.

The New Year resolutions we create: to join a gym, start a hobby, eat healthier, not let a certain person trigger you anymore, cut down alcohol or lose weight…. means a huge change to the current wiring and patterns of our brain and nervous system. And our brain and nervous system subconsciously seeks the familiar, to know it’s safe. Unfamiliar can feel unsafe. So it will keep seeking your current habits and patterns rather than new ones. As well as some of these things being our coping mechanisms such as food and alcohol. This is why change is so hard! 🤯

➡️ A lot of the things we desire actually come more naturally when we do the inner work and let go of limiting beliefs, regulate our nervous system as much as we can throughout the day, and hold compassion for ourselves.

So instead of battling your willpower, get curious!

✨ How does your nervous system feel on a regular basis? - Frazzled? Stuck and tired? Angry? Depressed? Can’t switch off?

✨ What are your common thoughts? - I’m not good enough? Life is stressful? People don’t like me? My body doesn’t look good? I won’t be okay without this?

✨ How do you hold your body? - Tense? Frozen? Buzzing? Slouched?

Really begin to notice what state you hold yourself in, throughout your day, day in day out.

Start to soften the tension, and mobilise any frozen energy. Realise all the negative stories about yourself that you’ve built up since childhood, allowing yourself to understand them and why they are actually inaccurate. Bring calming practices into your day that soothe your nervous system and remind you you’re safe.

This is where real change happens, and you start to create the life you want. As you become a vibrational match to that which you are seeking. And create more safety and capacity for new things.

So rather than make goals and new year resolutions, just start noticing yourself more. Slow down. Soften. Just be here without thinking there is something wrong. Slowly unwind the tension and false beliefs.

This is true change and regulation at a deep and lasting level.

And don’t forget, the actual new year begins in springtime! 🌸🌿🌤️
When everything starts coming alive again, more life giving sunshine appears, flowers bloom and seeds sprout! 🙏🏼

✨ THANK YOU TO EVERYONE that has attended a yoga class or many this year, your support means so much and helps keep classes going! ✨

Give yourself a big thank you and show some gratitude and compassion to yourself for all the work you have done! 🙏🏼
It’s not easy to be fully committed to something in the busyness of today’s world. It takes dedication and determination to step on the mat week after week, even when you might not always feel like it.
But I hope you have felt the benefits of yoga this year and it always helps you in some way 🥰

As I end this year, I have taught 1,118 classes since I began teaching nearly 5 years ago 🙀 About 5 months teaching online during covid, and 4 and a half years we have had our in person classes now 😍

I’m taking a little time to recharge over Christmas and New Year, as much as I will miss teaching over the festive period! 🎄💚
I hope you can take some time for yourself too, and still find moments to stretch and do your favourite yoga postures (and maybe some of the ones you hate too 😂).

Thank you again everyone, and have a lovely Christmas time.
I’ll still be contactable by email and messages if you need anything.
Classes can still be booked online for the new year.
And I look forward to being back from Monday 5th January 🙌🏼

With love,
Jodie

How often are our anxieties and stresses things we THINK will happen, but actually DON’T!?

Overthinking is a tool our mind uses to try and keep us safe. So much of our current thoughts are based on our past experiences. So the overthinking and stressing makes sense really, as our body is perceiving there could be a threat or stressful situation again like the past. And wants to try and save us from that this time, by planning ahead in our mind… cue overthinking.

But it can cause so much stress on our physical body to be constantly worrying and hypervigilant to everything. It starts to affect our digestion, our blood pressure, our heart rate, how easily we fall asleep and more, when we are constantly in states of worry and stress.

Finding moments to really feel the present moment and stillness can help calm our mind and body. Using our breath to calm the nervous system, and moving our body to release stuck energy is so important.

We think trying to control our mind and stop the thoughts is what we need. But this will only take us so far. We need to get in our body and FEEL. Then you use your calm body to signal to the mind that all is well, and we are safe. Then your mind can stop feeling so anxious 🙏🏼💓
