Thursday 2nd October : No classes today as although I’m back from a fabulous relaxing and nourishing holiday in the sun , I’ve now picked up this cold lurgy that’s doing the rounds 😞 since I’ve been back so Thursday classes will start back from next Thursday (9th October )

A huge thank you to all my yogis for a great first ‘term’ of the 25-2026 year . Great to see so many of you return year after year and to welcome all the new people to my classes in and around Turriff . I’m truly grateful for all of you choosing my classes for your yoga journey .
Speaking of journeys that’s me at the airport now on my way to the sunny Algarve for my annual week of chilling on a yoga retreat so no classes the rest of this week , but will be back with you all next week . 😎 🌞. 🙏

This popped up on my memories today … 12 years ago , on the trip sailing around Croatia which cemented my relationship with yoga which lead me to where I am now !

We were doing yoga at sunrise and sunset every day on the top deck of our boat . Each evening the boats tied up next to each other in the harbour for an overnight stop …. I can’t quite remember where this one was but as we were doing the class we realised that a group of Australian guys were trying to join in from their boat … fun class …

What other exercise do I do as a yoga teacher to keep myself fit and healthy ?

After injuring my knee a few years ago I’ve had to stop running so I have to look for other ways to keep my heart pumping which is low impact on joints and this is something which we all need to do for healthy aging .

Now , as well as trying to go for a swim at least 3 times a week , I also love a dance class .

Why dancing ?
Dancing for exercise is not like exercise at all … the feel good factor of music really boosts the endorphins and the oxytocin in your brain …. Learning the steps is great for exercising your neuro pathways and we should all be doing that to avoid premature aging …

So , if you’re looking to boost cardiac and brain health , I can throughly recommend giving a dance class a go ! Luckily we’ve got a choice of types of dance here in Turriff through Soulsa with Lou and her new classes this autumn , Linedancing with Lou , both of which I’ve started to attend in the last year .

The classes are great fun , no one takes themselves too seriously so do give Lou a follow and come and try a class … I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do .
