Yoga with Dogs… 🧘♀️🐶…
Thank you to all the wonderful people and amazing dogs 🐾🌟 who came to share yoga with me at @k9anytime Dog Show and Country Festival yesterday.
Together, we shared some gentle stretching, practiced mindful breathing, and even experienced a short savasana, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the Ocean Drum and Tibetan Singing Bowl 🌊🥁It was a joy to see some dogs listening intently, tilting their heads with curiosity, while others seemed to think I had treats hidden in my singing bowl! 😄
Dogs can pick up on our emotions so yoga is a great way to share time, bond and find calm in a busy day.🐾💕
I want to give a special shoutout to my little helpers, Max and Lily, 🐶🐶 who are used to practicing yoga with me on the mat but not in front of an audience! They were absolute stars, embracing the role of yoga dogs and enjoying every minute of it.
Thanks to @k9anytime for asking me back for this second time. It was an absolute joy! 🙏
Love,
Debbie, Max, and Lily.💖🐶🐶🐾

Yogapuncture
I feel incredibly privileged to have co-hosted this very special workshop on Saturday with Julia @greenrose_acupuncture
A powerfully relaxing combination of yoga, acupressure and acupuncture to balance our bodies and minds as we transition to Springtime.
Two separate workshops for a total of 16 beautiful souls who were (as far as I’m aware) the first to experience #yogapuncture in Shropshire!
We can’t wait to do it all over again… watch this space….
Love

Jacket Potatoes in a Slow Cooker…?
After our conversations about my Jacket Potatoes in my stories and in class, it turns out that I’m not the only person who didn’t know you can bake them in a Slow Cooker.
As a Slow Cooker costs pennies 🪙🪙🪙 per hour (the same as a light bulb 💡 ) and an oven costs pounds 💷💷💷, it’s a very energy efficient way to cook and I love my Slow Cooker casseroles and soups.
So I gave it a try and two large potatoes cooked on high for four hours turned out perfectly!
Let me know if you’re going to try this too…
Love

Yoga at Home….
Some of you have asked me to share a video of my practice. Well especially for you, here it is…watch with the sound on.
Yoga doesn’t always have to be strong poses or flowing sequences. Sometimes it’s “Legs up the Wall in Your Slippers While Dogs Jump on Your Face Pose”, transitioning seamlessly into “The Dying Fly”....
Legs up the Wall or Viparita Karani is a real pose which calms the nervous system and helps the mind to find quietness. Just what I need right now and a lovely pose for savasana.
Try it and let me know what you think!
Hope you’re all okay. I’m missing you all.
Namaste,
Debbie
PS no cute fluffy dogs were harmed in the making of this video.
Salute to the Earth...🌍💙
.
Some of you have practiced this beautiful sequence with me this week (albeit a lot more slowly than this video!).
.
It’s a gentle and calming sequence which allows us to flow with the breath, so that our practice becomes a moving meditation.
..
I love seeing a room of yogis moving together in the Earth Salutation - you all looked amazing. Oh, I love my job! 🧘🏼♀️❤️
.
Hope you all enjoyed it too xx

A few photos from our New Beginnings Retreat held at the Green Wood Centre yesterday. Such a fabulous day with a group of amazing people. Thank you all.
If you took any photos yourselves, please share!
Namaste,
Debbie and Anna xx
Happy Sunday beautiful yogis. I’ve made my first video for you (with a lot of help from the talented Lucie Copner).
We’ve been practicing The Circle of Joy as part of our warm up and it’s a lovely gentle way to stretch the upper body. I usually don’t want to stop!
Enjoy the rest of this warm weekend 😊🙏🏻💙
