I'm so excited to be running this course. As an Autistic person, mindfulness has been a huge part of my self care, and having qualified as a Mindfulness Teacher earlier this year I want to share it all with you. Also suitable for ADHD, highly sensitive people, friends, families, and carers.

If you know anyone who would like to join please pass the link on to them!

Cost is a sliding scale depending on what you can afford.

Hiya all, Im finding that my body isn't doing well with teaching at the moment. I have suspected Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and finding most classes aggravate my pain and fatigue which is why I only teach a few a week.
This is pretty tricky as it's my main job! I love teaching and want to find ways that are suitable for me and helpful for others too.

So would anyone be interested in a gentle Mindfulness and Movement session on a Tuesday morning online? It would be ideal for anyone wanting an accessible Mindfulness/movement session. Good for people experiencing chronic conditions, long covid, recovering from injuries etc. I want to keep the cost low so anyone can come. It will be £5 per session or £25 for 6 classes.

Please consider this class and share it with anyone who might be interested. It would enable me to keep teaching and not lose my much needed income ❤️

Hi everyone,
I'm training at a Mindfulness Teacher and as part of my training I'll be teaching a 5-week Intro to Mindfulness course. I've decided to do this online to make more accessible.

I'm looking for people who would be interested in joining the group. I'm planning on holding the sessions on Thursday evenings from 7.30-8.30pm from April 7th-May 5th .

Each session will include a short talk on one of the foundations of Mindfulness, a guided practice and a chance to ask questions, share experiences and reflect together.

The focuses will be on developing compassionate mindful awareness to help to be more deeply present through life. Mindfulness is based in Buddhist teaching and can be practiced by anyone!

I will need to record sessions for my course purposes and ask for you to complete a short feedback form at the end.

Payment will be Dana contributions which is based on your generosity and what you feel you can pay. Suggestions are £20-50 for the whole course.

If you'd like to sign up then please drop me a message with your name and email and if you are able to, make a contribution by bank transfer too.

If you have questions or queries then feel free to get in touch!

Hope to see you soon,
Amina

Hey all,
I have made the hard decision to cancel the Monday evening yoga class. I'm so busy with working two jobs and the Child Psychotherapy course that I need to make a bit more time to rest. It's been my longest running class and I have loved teaching every week but as the numbers have always fluctuated and are on the low side at the moment it feels like the right time to call it a day.

Tuesday morning classes continue on Zoom from 9.30-10.30am and I am looking into options for going back to in-person classes fairly soon so do get in touch if you'd like to join. I also record the zoom classes so have loads saved which are also available for £5 per class.

Have a lovely Sunday eve all and beginning of the week

This week we will continue our journey in exploring the 8-fold path with looking at the ethics of yoga. The first one is Ahimsa meaning non-violence and kindness.

This world needs all the kindness it can get at the moment, but its not always easy to give, especially when your own world is tipped upside-down and stress and fear are present. Ahimsa incompasses kindness to self, others, and the natural world 🦜🌴

Ahimsa can awaken our own sense of hope and care which is like a soothing balm to pain and anxiety.

I hope you can join me later or tomorrow morning on Zoom.

Here is the link if you've lost it and if it's your first time please send me a message to let me know you'll be attending

Yoga tonight and tomorrow morning introduced Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga, a path to freedom which brings in different areas of yoga including a moral framework, breathing and meditation as well as postures. Hope to see you later!

I'd highly recommend listening to this interview with Susanna Barkataki to deepen your understanding of what yoga is and how is can be a powerful tool for social justice.

Class is on tonight and tomorrow and we will be looking at the 8 limbs of yoga as codified by Patanjali.
Hope to see you later!
