Yoga with Lucy-Ann

05/05/2026

Have you ever been in a yoga class and heard a teacher mention Kali, Ganesha, Shiva or Lakshmi… and quietly wondered what on earth that had to do with your Downward Dog?

You’re not alone.

Yoga has travelled a long way from its roots, and along the journey, stories of Hindu gods and goddesses have woven themselves into modern practice — sometimes beautifully, sometimes confusingly.

So I’ve written a new blog post that gently, and briefly unpacks it all:

🌿 Where these deities actually come from
🌿 Why they appear in yoga classes
🌿 How to understand them without needing to “believe” in anything
🌿 What they symbolise in a simple, human way
🌿 How these myths can enrich your practice without the fluff

If you’ve ever been curious — or quietly sceptical — this one’s for you.

If you’ve been to a few yoga classes, you’ve probably heard a teacher mention a Hindu god or goddess — maybe Kali, Ganesha, Shiva, or Lakshmi. You might have seen a mudra (a hand gesture) linked to a deity, or heard a story that sounded ancient and mysterious. And you may have wondered:What do...

We so often hear that yoga is a lifestyle — but what does that really mean in everyday life? I’ve written a new blog post exploring how yoga can shape your choices, your mindset, and how you move through your day, both on and off the mat.

Have a read and see what resonates:

A yogic lifestyle is a conscious, ongoing choice to live with awareness, not a set of rigid rules or an escape from everyday life. It’s about how you manage your body, energy, and mind in the small, consistent moments that shape who you become.A yogic lifestyle is described as a holistic, intentio...

Tonight’s Meditation: The Two Arrows

Join me this evening for a 30‑minute guided meditation exploring one of Buddhism’s most practical teachings — The Two Arrows.

We’ll look at how life’s first arrow (stress, pain, hurt) is inevitable, but the second (our reaction or response) is optional. This practice helps us soften, breathe, and reflect.

Meditation literally reshapes the patterns that create the second arrow. Over time, our reactions become gentler, slower, and less automatic.

🕯️ 5.15pm at The Betjeman Centre, Wadebridge
💛 Donation‑based class — suggested donation £3
All welcome — come exactly as you are.

This week in class, we are exploring a part of the body that quietly does so much more than most people realise — the inner thighs.

Far from being just “stretchy muscles,” the inner thighs stabilise the pelvis, support the knees, connect into the pelvic floor and deep core, and help us feel centred and integrated in almost every pose — from Warrior 1 to Downward Dog, Eagle, Tree, Skandasana and beyond.

We used a block between the thighs in Cat/Cow, Down Dog, Chair, and even as we folded and rose to stand, to help awaken this whole line of support. And by the time we reached Frog Pose at the end, the inner thighs were not only lengthening but working intelligently too.

If you’d like to understand why these muscles matter so much — and how to work with them more consciously in your practice — I’ve written a new blog post that breaks it all down in a clear, accessible way.

It includes:

• the six inner thigh muscles
• their lesser‑known roles in yoga
• how they stabilise the pelvis and core
• why they matter for balance and alignment
• and a full section on using a block to deepen awareness

You can read it here 👇

✨ New Blog Post: Meditation Myths — Busted ✨

If you’ve ever thought “I can’t meditate because my mind won’t switch off”… you’re definitely not alone. Ahead of my first live‑taught meditation class this Friday, I’ve written a new blog exploring what meditation really is — where it comes from, how it works in the brain, and why so many of the common beliefs about it simply aren’t true.

If you’ve been curious about meditation, or you’ve tried it before and felt like you were “doing it wrong”, this one’s for you.

Read the full post here 👇

Busting the Most Common Myths About MeditationMeditation is one of the oldest wellbeing practices in the world — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. As meditation has moved from ancient spiritual traditions into modern studios, workplaces, apps, and healthcare settings, a whole collecti...

✨ Friday Evening MEDITATION at 5.15pm ✨

A new Meditation Class starts this Friday, April 17th.

I am very excited to share that I’ll be starting a 30‑minute weekly meditation class every Friday at 5.15pm, beginning this Friday, April 17th.

This will be the first live meditation class in the area, and I’m really excited to see how it supports our community. Think of it as your weekly exhale — a gentle space to switch off, unwind, and reset after the busyness of the week. The best part is, it is a donation-based offering, and half of all profit goes to support The Betjeman Centre.

Whether you’re craving calm, clarity, a mental health boost, or simply a moment to breathe, this class is designed to help you transition into the weekend feeling grounded, centred, and more like yourself again.

"Just wanted to say last night's Meditation Workshop was beautiful, thank you. It will make such a difference to those who join you on a Friday. I will most definitely be one of them." Rosie

🗓 Fridays at 5.15pm - Starting 17th April
⏱ 30 minutes
📍 The John Betjeman Centre, Wadebridge, North Cornwall
💛 Suitable for everyone — no experience needed
💛 Bring a cushion and blanket

This class is offered on a donation basis. Suggested donation £3. Half of the proceeds will go to The Betjeman Centre.

Please message me if you are interested in attending this class. Alternatively email me at lucyann.prideaux@yahoo.com.
