Home again. To weather that hinted at Spring yesterday.
Time then I think to look at the posterior chain, open our hearts, expand the chest and be brave!
(Here is my daughter in ustrasana for a flavour of what’s to come - with a little help from my grandson!)

Emotional stability workshop Saturday. I really enjoyed working with 12 very different students, pondering how practice positively affects our mental state. When we are in restorative poses we have nothing left to prove. Standings announce how we are (balanced, steady, strong?!) to the world, and ourselves.
The inversions offer a different perspective, turn the world and its problems upside down.
And friends on long walks. They do all those things too.
Looking forward to a twisty kind of week

Yoga in Belgium with Glenn Ceresoli at the fantastic Iyengar Yoga studio in Koksijde.

I’ve now been attending Glenn’s workshops, when I can, since 2009 - time flies when you’re enjoying yourself.
What brings me back to his teaching is his passion for explanation. Why we do what we do? how do we do it? What is the right order to do it in? How do w explore, change, improve and go beyond what we think we know?
Simply put, there is always more.

Nick will teach Mondays classes as I journey back from Brussels and I will see you from Tuesday onwards, enthusiastic!!

Last week I had a thought 🤔
When we think about our postures we are often used to experiencing and exploring our breath. But, when we sit for pranayama we don’t always keep the same level of attention to our physical selves. Nothing extraordinary (or original) but I think it made for an interesting look at the body, mind, breath connection.
This week we’re back to basics!
Thursday folk you have lovely Nick

A few pics from the weekend. Including a post teaching walk 😊
In our weekend workshop we thought about Sutra II 46 Sthira sukha asanam which asks that our practice has both steadiness and ease.
Although we need intelligence and effort in the body, we must also remain mindful of our breath which should remain smooth and even.
Iyengar Yoga teaches us to manage ourselves, ‘stack’ the body correctly, use props, consider and manage our asanas, so that ultimately, effort can become effortless and the breath become steady.
There is so much more I would like to say!!
But for now, all classes are running this week and I look forward to seeing you
🙏❤️🙏
