Awesome few hours spent this morning with this lovely group of students 🩷 we also went for a lovely brunch together afterwards 🙏
They are some of the nicest, positive & hard working people I know.
They self practice regularly and I get to travel and see them all a few times a year. We do usually have some play time at the end, which is fun!

It's always a choice on whether or not you sacrifice the breath to achieve an asana.
I personally try to focus, nearly all of the time, on the breath as number 1 and movement as number 2.
Sometimes, it can be interesting to feel what it feels like when it is hard to breathe. Still helps us to learn and understand our bodies a bit more.
At that point, you either choose to stay there and feel unable to breathe or you let go a bit and do less and find the breath again or if it's extreme discomfort / pain, it's generally recommended to come out of the asana and return to the breath 👌
As I say, we always have a choice 😘

A very dynamic and fast paced yoga founded by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore Yoga in India.
When movement (Vinyasa), posture (Asana) and breath are used together, the energy carries the body smoothly and effortlessly. Each Vinyasa is supported either by an inhalation or an exhalation, thus creating a nice flow.
Emphasis is on flow and intensity, and is incredibly exhilarating. While focusing on the breath, muscle contraction and the flow, an incredible heat and sweat is developed that is powerfully toning and invigorating.
Vinyasa Flow
My vinyasa flow class sequences vary each time. We create a focus on breathing and self energy while targeting specific areas of the body. The movements flow and the poses run together and become like a dance. The breath acts as an anchor to the movement as you flow from one pose to the next in time with an inhale or an exhale we can interpret this as a connection between movement and breath.
Gentle Hatha Flow
Take time for yourself to stretch deeply and improve your breathing. Great way to relax and calm your mind and body creating peace. The first part of the class is a gentle flow to include sun salutations and standing postures. The second part of the class will be more focused on gentle stretches that will work more on the connective tissues (tendons, fascia & ligaments) of the body as opposed to using muscle strength – with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. It will be slow, gentle and deeply relaxing. You will feel nicely stretched. At the end we have a short pranayama (breathing) practice and mediation to help you feel refreshed and re-energised for the rest of your day.
Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing that you can move and stretch in. No footwear needed, yoga is done in barefeet.
Mat: If you have your own mat, please bring it along. I have some spare mats available, please let me know in advance if you need to borrow one.
