Trying to take my own advice, as hard as it is, therefore due to an exacerbation in long covid symptoms, my classes will be covered by another lovely teacher for the next couple of weeks. 🧘💕

Right? Letting go of expectations, thoughts and worries can be really difficult but the more we practise the easier this can become and yoga can be a great way to build this skill.

Cheesy but true. It can be hard not to compare yourself to others in yoga class but what our bodies are able to do in a particular hour has so many variables, from the structure of our bodies to how much stress we have experienced that day. As much as possible try to focus on what feels good in the body you have in the particular moment

This could be a grand gesture or something small 💕. What kind thing have you noticed or done recently?

04/10/2021

I always start my classes with a wee check in to how the body and mind are and a reminder to work with how you are in the present moment. In practise this means working with what feels good in the body and easing out of anything that causes pain, as well as knowing that is ok and completely normal for your mind to drift off 🧘

Take a moment to bring yourself into this moment and whatever may come next

27/09/2021

Yoga is not a competition, it is an opportunity to engage with what your body and mind needs in that moment.

Showing off his Puppy Posture 🤣

As an Occupational Therapist our job is all about breaking down barriers to support people to engage in what is meaningful, as well as using meaningful activity to promote health and well-being. The two roles mix perfectly and I will continue to my skills to make my yoga classes as accessible as possible and to develop tailored therapeutic groups with partner organisations.

Take a moment to re-set 💕

It's all linked, this is why I always start my classes with a few slow deep breaths 🧘

Using movement and posture to bring you back into your body, in this present moment 💕

Morning practice 🧘‍♀️

A lovely bit of movement and stillness to start the day right, views like this help too 🙏

Some more spaces available for yoga on Tuesdays 🧘

Are you looking for something to help you feel ‘normal’ again after the last 18 months? Do you need to get your body moving? Or do you just need to stretch out and relax the mind?

This accessible class is for people of all ages, shapes and sizes and will move through conscious, mindful movements to safely open and rejuvenate the body. The practice involves breath, body, and mind through breathing exercises, yoga poses and meditation.

Any questions please let me know

Savasana the ultimate relaxation and sometimes the most challenging poses as it can be so hard to switch off at times. So make sure you are as cosy and comfortable as possible. Constructive rest is always an option too

23/08/2021

Constructive rest, another great restorative pose, I love starting a class with this to bring that sense of letting go right at the beginning of class. Try out these options to see what works best for you, the second option may allow you to relax a bit more as you will not need to engage as many muscles to knee your knees up 🧘

18/08/2021

Balasana or Child's pose, a firm favourite of mine with lots of variations available, try a couple out and see what works best for you- a great pose for when everything just gets a bit much!
