We've had a few questions about what happens during a Yogapuncture workshop so I thought it might be helpful to share my blog post from last year.

https://www.thecurlyyogi.co.uk/post/yogapuncture

But there's no such thing as a silly question, so please ask anything you need to know.

The next workshop is Saturday 20 July and we have limited spaces left now!

Gentle Yoga…🧘‍♀️

You don’t have to be bendy, fit or strong to enjoy yoga - just a willingness to give it a go!

My Yoga Basics is the ideal class for those new to yoga, returning to yoga or anyone simply wanting a gentle and relaxing class.

Yoga Basics - new class on Tuesdays 7pm
Ketley Community Centre, Telford

🧘‍♀️ It’s a gentle class with simple flowing sequences to ease tension, static poses to build strength and the all important relaxation to help you to recharge your batteries.

🧘‍♀️ We practice the foundation poses and look at how to adapt them to suit our bodies.

Each class is £8 on a pay as you go basis so there’s no commitment to attend every week. Come and give it a try - you might be surprised at how good it makes you feel!

Nurturing Growth…

I am once again deeply honoured to have facilitated another Women’s Circle on Friday. Our theme for the evening was Nurturing Growth.

🌳 Our Soul Sisters are growing in strength and energy, just like a beautiful tree.

🌿 New branches joining our tree are welcomed and nurtured, joining our core seamlessly and feeling like they are where they belong.

🍃 We shared a meditation which took our minds to a circle of trees where we watched a sapling grow and change through the seasons. A reminder that growth is not linear and all seasons of life contribute to our personal growth.

As always, I extend a heartfelt thanks to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. 💞

🩵 Soul Sisters, I see you, I hear you and I’m here for you.

Love

I’m back… 😊

I had a wonderful week away, and it feels so good to be back on the mat with you all this week. I’ve missed you!

The rest and the change of scenery last week were so refreshing. I’ve spent time walking 🚶‍♀️, eating 🍽️, and sea glass hunting 🌊.

This week in class, we have been reminding ourselves of the feeling of being a yoga beginner and really noticing how we feel as we practice. 🧘‍♂️

A special welcome to all the gorgeous new faces joining our regulars in our brand new Yoga Basics class, which started on Tuesday. A room full of people sharing a gentle, mindful practice (ideal if you are a beginner!) 🌟

Looking forward to seeing my beautiful Soul Sisters in tomorrow night’s Women’s Circle. Some of my sea glass will look perfect in our central altar. 💖🕯️

Thanks for such a positive first week back!

Love,
Debbie 💕

Please bear with me if you’re waiting for a reply and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Nurturing growth…

A warm welcome to my new followers – thank you for joining my little corner of the internet! 🌿

For those who have been with me for a while, you might have noticed some changes on this page over the past year as my offerings continue to evolve.

While you might see fewer yoga photos, rest assured, yoga will always be my first love. I will always be a yoga teacher (and will always try to persuade everyone to give it a try!). 🌿🧘‍♀️

Yoga is the roots of my life, grounding and nourishing me. But like a tree growing new branches and adapting with the seasons, I’m embracing growth and change. 🌳

I’m excited to start sharing some of my favourite healthy recipes, wellbeing practices, nature moments, and a variety of ways to nurture our bodies and minds. 🌱🥗🌼

So, let’s evolve together. Stay with me on this journey as we explore new paths to wellness and growth.

Love,

Embracing Fluidity…

I felt deeply honoured to have facilitated another Women’s Circle last Friday. 🌟

Driving home afterward, one word kept coming to mind: ‘buoyant.’ 🌊

The evening was lively, lighthearted, and optimistic, perfectly reflecting our theme of Embracing Fluidity; welcoming change and embracing the ebb and flow of life with positivity. Our Goddess, Dora Grace, even had a visiting sister to share the altar with! (See the third photo.)

🌀 We began our circle with grounding breathwork, using the soothing Ocean Breath.

🔮 We then turned to Oracle cards to guide and awaken our intuition.

🧘‍♀️ A meditation took us to a peaceful beach, connecting with nature to release resilience and embrace the ebb and flow, the fluidity of life.

🥁 Our meditation ended with the sound of my Ocean drum to wash away any remaining negative feelings or thoughts. 🥁

💬 An optional sharing circle for discussing life’s happenings, expressing our feelings, or simply sitting and absorbing the nurturing feeling of being in a circle.

🛁🌹 We also made bath salts, choosing essential oils and adding lavender or rose petals to create a very special and mindful bathing ritual.

As always, I extend heartfelt thanks to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. 💖

Soul Sisters, I see you, I hear you, and I’m here for you. 💕

Love, Debbie x

Behind the scenes…

A huge step out of my comfort zone but I was absolutely honoured to be asked to feature in the Shropshire Star’s Weekend section.

The feature explains why I fell in love with yoga and a little about the challenging journey to step up to the mat at the front and become a yoga teacher.

Yoga for runners…🏃‍♀️

I get a lot of runners in my yoga classes so this week I have designed a practice especially for them. We’ve been focusing on releasing tension in the hips, legs and feet while making space around the ribs to improve our breathing. Things we all benefit from, even if we don’t run!

There are so many ways that yoga is beneficial to runners:

🔹 Flexibility: Stretch those muscles and prevent strains and sprains.
🔹 Strength: Build the muscles that running alone might miss out on.
🔹 Balance and Stability: Keep your form on point and reduce the risk of falls.
🔹 Breath Awareness: Control your breath for those long-distance runs.
🔹 Relaxation: Recharge your mind, body and soul to compliment your physical training.

So yoga is great for runners. I wonder if running is great for yogis? It’s been a while since I have done any running but digging out these old photos has inspired me to find my trainers…

If you have a sport, hobby, or pastime that you’d like to enhance with a tailored yoga practice, just let me know and I’ll incorporate the perfect poses and sequences into our classes!

And breathe…

I’m taking a few days off over the Easter holidays and boy, does it feel needed!

Time to rest, time to recharge, time for me.

I’ll be trying to resist social media and the online world, so please bare with me if you are waiting for a reply.

I’ll miss you all - see you back on the mat from Monday 8 April.

Have a wonderful Easter!

Love

Seeds of Change….🌱

Our Women’s Circle on Friday was an evening brimming with inspiration! 💫

Welcoming new faces, our Circle created a beautiful and vibrant energy in the room, fostering a sense of belonging among our all of our Soul Sisters. 💖

Our theme centred around the way nature in Springtime can inspire us to start planning our hopes and dreams for the future, with a reminder to nourish the things we already cherish in our lives.

🔄 Opening our Circle with grounding breathwork, the calming and balancing Alternate Nostril Breathing. The pause between each breath mirrors the Spring Equinox, a pause before stepping into a new phase in our lives.

🌳 Using my favourite Oracle cards, the Woodland Warden deck, to take inspiration from nature’s wisdom to awaken our intuition.

🌺 A meditation to connect to our Heart Chakra with a visualisation of a enchanting garden where we could plant our ‘seeds of change’.

🌀 An optional sharing circle to open our hearts, express our feelings, dreams, and life’s happenings. Or to simply sit and absorb the nurturing feeling of being part of a Circle.

☕️ And of course, chatting and connecting over tea and my Lemon, Pistachio and Fruit Squares!

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. I feel honoured to be part of this wonderful community. 💞

Soul Sisters, I see you, I hear you and I’m here for you.

Heartfelt Hygge….🌟🕯️

We had a wonderfully cosy evening at our Women’s Circle on Friday! 🌸

Our theme came from the Danish concept of Hygge. All about embracing comfort, simple pleasures, letting down our guard and being ourselves in Circle just as we do at home.

It was a nurturing evening of:

🧘‍♀️ Grounding and settling with simple breath awareness.

🔮 Using Oracle cards to inspire, reflect and develop our intuition.

🌿 Connecting with our hearts via a guided meditation which took us on a journey through nature to a cosy home and asking ourselves, “How are you, really?”

⭕ A sharing circle with the option to talk about any ‘lightbulb moments’ or feelings about our meditation (or to simply share what’s going on in our lives.)

We really embraced the Hygge-ness of our Circle: using cushions and blankets to make a ‘Rest Nest’ for meditation, wearing our comfiest clothes and feeling that we were right where we belonged!

A heartfelt thank you to the beautiful women who shared this experience with me. I see you, I hear you and I’m here for you. 💕

Apricity = the warmth of the sun in winter…☀️

Letting the comforting vibes of the sun work its magic ✨

The past couple of months have been challenging, but moments like these remind me to find joy, the ‘glimmers’ in the little things.

The time out in nature 🌳🐾, exploring with my crazy dogs 🐶🐾 and testing out my new binoculars (thanks Mr C!) - always makes me feel so much better.

Who else loves that warm winter sun feeling? Tell me about your apricity moments… ☀️❄️

Love,

Wild Wisdom: Embracing our Uniqueness…

Another wonderful evening at our Women’s Circle on Friday! These evenings have quickly become part of our self-care routine and I’m not sure how we ever managed without them.

With January being the ‘Wolf Monath’ we took inspiration from the Wolf Moon to tune into our inner wisdom…. Our wild wisdom. Turning inwards, finding our potency and shining our light

💖 Grounding and connecting with breathwork a silent Mantra, “I am that I am”.

🌟 Embracing our uniqueness with a special meditation, combining the power of our inner wisdom and the mesmerising beauty of nature to celebrate who we really are.

💖 Writing a note to our future selves, a reminder of our inner light, our beauty and uniqueness.

🌟 And of course, tea and snacks…. My homemade mushroom rolls went down well!

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. I hope you enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep under the Wolf Moon.

Love

Porridge - a perfect start to these frosty mornings! ❄️

Oats have so many health benefits - high in fibre, full of vitamins and minerals. A hot bowl of porridge feels like a hug on a chilly morning!

Here’s one of my favourite ways to make mine:

1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of almond milk
1/2 cup of water
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cardamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 banana (optional).

🎛 Mix the oats, milk and water in a pan and cook over a low heat.
🍌 Add the chopped banana.
🥄 Mix in the spices. (I sometimes make a little batch of pre-mixed spices)
👩‍🍳 Cook gently while stirring.

😋 And that’s it done! You can add maple syrup for more sweetness if you like (I always do) and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some chia seeds or sunflower seeds on the top!

How do you make yours?

Winter Wonderland…

Wow - what can I say? Sunday marked the most magical day at Fordhall Organic Farm for our Nature and Nurture Winter Day Retreat.

A group of beautiful women gathered for a nurturing day of ‘Wintering’ through yoga, meditation, breathwork, good food and fresh air.

🧘‍♀️ We started our day with a flowing yoga practice, connecting with the winter element of water while gazing out at the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

🎶 We embarked on a sound journey, thanks to the amazing Carly from Art of Love and her wonderful Sound Bath.

🍲Afterwards, we connected and chatted over a nourishing and delicious warm vegetarian stew.

🌳 With our bellies full, we took a slow wander to the woods where we separated and connected to nature with silence before regathering for our retreat day photo.

🔥 Returning to the Straw Lodge, we were greeted with a very warm welcome by the crackling log burner (thanks Jackie 🤗) and steaming hot chocolate (thanks Mr C 🤗)

🕯️✨ The afternoon unfolded slowly and gently, with our yin practice surrounded by candles and fairy lights, followed by a deeply relaxing yoga Nidra in front of the crackling log burner.

💖 We arrived as yogis and we left as friends.

Love

Thank You….

Thank you all for joining me this year, whether that has been in class, at a workshop, retreat or Women’s Circle. It's been an absolute pleasure to spend time with you.

We had a very busy final week of classes, smiling though Christmas Yoga and enjoying sharing homemade treats. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Remember to the advice from a Christmas Tree:

🎄 You were born to sparkle

🎄 It’s okay to be a little tilted

🎄 Stand tall and proud

🎄 Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle

🎄 Shine bright in the darkness

🎄 And… it’s okay to fall over. 😊

Merry Christmas everyone. Looking forward to lots more yoga in 2024!

Love

Mum and Baby Yoga….it’s a wrap! 🧘‍♀️👶

An extra special Mum and Baby Yoga class this morning as it marked my last one! It was truly a pleasure to spend my final class with these amazing mums and their mini yogis. 🌟

Making the decision to step away after two wonderful years of teaching this special class wasn’t easy. It’s time for me to embrace new projects. (Let’s face it, I’m not Wonderwoman, and as much as I’d love to, I can’t do it all 💪😂)

A heartfelt thank you to every mum who joined me over the past two years. It’s been beautiful witnessing your connections, filled with joy, laughter, and tears, supporting each other along the way. 🤗❤️

To every baby who joined me, thank you for the joy, laughter, tears, blowing raspberries, growling, and... ahem… the occasional poonami! 💩🙈🤣

I’ve often said I have the nicest people sign up for these classes, and it’s so true! 🌈

I wanted to share a montage of photos from all these classes, but I couldn’t decide between them all! So, I’m going to use my bias and share a couple of photos of my favourite ever Baby Yogi, my granddaughter Millie. 📸👶

Love you all,
Debbie x 🌸

Golden Serenity: Discovering our inner radiance and shining bright…

Ah, another magical evening at our Women’s Circle on Friday! I love being a part of this special little community.

We allowed ourselves to slow down and turn inwards to find balance before the busy-ness of December is upon us.

🌟 Grounding and connecting via a breathwork practice, visualising our breath as a fine golden thread, weaving us together in a tapestry of silent sisterhood.

💛 Finding peace and joy with a gratitude meditation, remembering to appreciate our people, our lives and most importantly ourselves.

🌟 A special connection between us via golden Ear Seeds. Helping each other to decide which of the many wellbeing benefits to choose from and then applying the little stick-on golden stud to each other's ears. This was a truly special thing to see!

💛 And of course there was cake….. Chocolate and Amaretti Bars with the added luxury of edible gold leaf. Because we’re worth it! 👑

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. I hope you enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep under the gentle light of the Frost Moon.

Thank you to for supplying the ear seeds.

Halloween yoga - it’s a wrap! ☑️

🧙 Thank you to all the witches and wizards for smiling with me during our Halloween yoga this week.

🧙‍♂️We found our inner child and allowed those poses to feel so different with alternative names…

I remember teaching this for the first time about 7 years ago and 10 minutes into the class, I was so nervous that I convinced myself that nobody was enjoying it, I wanted the ground to swallow me up. A whirlwind of anxious thoughts such as ‘What am I doing?? This isn’t what a real yoga teacher does!!’ 🙈

But those lovely people told me how much they had enjoyed it and now it’s a Curly Yogi annual tradition… Now I daren’t NOT do it!

🪄 So thank you for indulging me, thank you for smiling at my jokes and thank you for being your most magical YOU.

Same time next year…?

Love

Ancestral Threads: weaving the past into the present...

Ah, what a magical evening we had at our Women's Circle on Friday! ✨

It's truly special to see our supportive little community growing and bringing women together.

💕 Inspired by 'the red thread' of connection to our mothers and grandmothers, I shared a meditation to honour our ancestors. This led to a beautiful discussion and stories about our families and ancestors, both paternal and maternal.

🍫 We shared tasty treats - chocolate, biscuits, and homemade tiffin - while sipping hot drinks.

🧶 We sat in a circle, mindfully making macrame feathers. There was something very special to see everyone crafting, chatting and sharing quiet companionship. It felt like we had all done this before, like coming home.

🎃 Our central altar represented the five elements, adorned with foraged berries, dried leaves , magpie feathers, and my knitted pumpkins.

🌸 Making her debut in our altar was a beautiful clay goddess, lovingly handmade and painted by the talented . I've decided to name her Grace - it suits her, don't you think?

🙏 We ended our Circle with a simple meditation, holding our macrame feathers, and thinking of the love of our ancestors who brought us to this moment.

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing women who shared this experience with me. I hope you enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep under the gentle light of the Hunter's Moon. 🌕✨

Love,

🌿 Grounding… 🌿

Ah the bliss of being barefoot in nature! One of my favourite things to do - I was always playing barefoot as a child.

Connnecting with the Earth is soooo good for us.🌎✨

Grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of making direct physical contact with the Earth. And it has some surprising benefits:

😌 Reduced Stress: rebalancing the body’s electrical charge and promoting a sense of calm.

🌙 Better Sleep: helping to regulate circadian rhythms.

🥰 Enhanced Mood: being in touch with nature our energy.

Whether it’s simply walking barefoot on grass, soil or sand, or even lying on the ground - your body and mind will thank you for it.

Have you tried it?

Love

Yogapuncture…

What an absolute pleasure it was to co-host another Yogapuncture Workshop with the very talented Julia from Green Rose Acupuncture-Telford, Shropshire on Friday evening.

This time, we took our workshop to Shrewsbury by sharing the beautiful studio at Jenna Blair Yoga

It was an evening of slowing down and storing up our energy for the winter months ahead. Autumn is the season that calls us home to rest!

🙏🏻 Thank you to all the wonderful souls who joined us - it was lovely to meet you.

🙏🏻 Thank you to Jenna for being so welcoming (and helping us to set up!)…

🙏🏻 And thank you to Julia for co-hosting with me (and the magic that is acupressure and acupuncture!).

Autumn Tranquility…🍂

Reclined Goddess has got to be my all time favourite Yin Yoga Pose and it’s perfect for the changeable days of Autumn.

In Ayurveda, Autumn is the season of Vata, characterised by the elements of air and space. This can leave us feeling unsettled, like autumn leaves swirling in the breeze.

We can use this calming pose to find stillness and allow the mind and body to recharge for the bustling days ahead.

If you’ve joined one me at a workshop or retreat, you will know that we lie back over a bolster to really open the heart space and allow our breath to expand three-dimensionally.

Try this pose at home (no yoga bolster required!):

🧘‍♀️ Use a rolled-up blanket instead of a bolster and let it sit between your shoulder blades as you relax into lying down.
🌸 Support your head with a soft cushion or two. (See photo 4)
🦋Bring the soles of the feet together with your knees to the side.
💫Let your hips relax.
👐Place your hands on your belly or palms up at your sides.
🌟For extra comfort, use cushions under your knees and stay cosy with a soft blanket covering your torso and legs.

Even just 5 deep breaths in Reclined Goddess can work wonders…. but trust me, 5 minutes is absolute bliss! Try it and let me know how it feels…

Love

When Women Circle.. part 2

I’m so humbled and grateful to have facilitated my second Women’s Circle ‘Harvesting Wisdom’ last night at the very cosy Buildwas Village Hall.

Thank you to everyone the brave and amazing women who sat in Circle with me. We shared, we listened and we supported. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

Thought I’d share the oracle card I pulled last night…

🎴 ‘The Spider and the Passionflower’. Very apt just after our little visitor (if you know, you know!).

🕷️ And it turns out that the spider is a symbol of feminine energy, courage and self-expression. How perfect is that?

Soul Sisters, thank you again for your bravery and openness.

Love
Debbie x

PS Our October Circle will be announced soon. Let me know if you would like to hear more.

My Story

I’m Debbie and I teach Hatha Yoga in Telford, Shropshire.

Classes are currently suspended due to COVID19. However I am teaching an online class on Wednesday evenings, so please get in touch if you are interested in joining us. When lockdown is lifted I will have classes in Places Gym (Stafford Park), Pace Health Club, The Circle at HLC and Ketley Community Centre. Classes are mixed ability, suitable for age 16 and over and beginners are especially welcome.

I am an accredited Menopause Yoga Teacher and hold small and friendly workshops to help women through this challenging time.

I also teach private sessions for the workplace, so if you would like to brighten your day with a bit of lunchtime yoga, please get in touch. If you have any questions, please click the message button :-) Hope to see you soon, Debbie
