✨ Mindful Mamas Evening ✨
What a beautiful night spent in the company of such inspiring, strong, and open-hearted women 💛

Thank you to each of the incredible mums who joined us — it was a true pleasure to share space with you, to move, breathe, journal, and simply be.

Together we created a circle of calm, connection, and care. From gentle yoga and grounding breathwork to reflective journalling and shared stories, plus a few yummy nibbles and bubbles ✨, the evening was all about making time for you.

Because when you’re nourished, your whole family feels it — and you 100% deserve that care.

We hope you left feeling a little more rooted, a little more rested, and reminded of just how much you’ve already grown 🌿

With love and gratitude,
Amie Octagon Tree Yoga and Becky The Baby Zen Den

Mums - join us for a evening just for you 🥰

✨ Exciting news- a class for the mummies ✨

Motherhood is beautiful — but it’s also exhausting. You give so much of yourself every day… but who’s holding space for you?

That's why I wanted to create a space to exhale, slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported — not just as a mum, but as you.

No expectations. No pressure. Just gentle mindfulness, calming practices, and a circle of women who get it.

When you’re nurtured, your whole family feels it... So You 100% deserve this time.

The class will include yummy nibbles, a glass of prosecco (alcoholic/non alcoholic) gentle yoga stretches, mindfulness activities, Journalling and a gift for each of you.

The yoga class I taught last night was called ‘The Power of Progress’ a Ladder Flow Towards Wheel Pose/Upward Bow/Urdhva Dhanurasana. Progress isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, being present, and honouring where we are today. In yoga, progress is not measured by how deep we go into a pose but by our ability to listen to ourselves with kindness. The Power of Progress is about recognising the small steps that lead to transformation—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Exploring how consistent effort, patience, and self-compassion help us grow on and off the mat.

A ladder flow is a dynamic sequencing method where we start with a simple movement and gradually build upon it, adding layers as we go. This approach allows us to refine our alignment, build strength progressively, and find flow in our movement. Last night, we began our journey towards Wheel Pose, a heart-opening backbend that strengthens the entire body and promotes energy and confidence. But we approached it with Ahimsa—the yogic principle of non-harming. Ahimsa teaches us to move with awareness, to honour our boundaries, and to offer ourselves kindness rather than force.

Throughout the class, we prepared with gentle backbends, shoulder openers, and core activation, offering modifications along the way.

Whether we lifted into bridge pose, practised a supported wheel, or found the full expression, our progress is measured by our ability to listen and respond with love.

This week's class is called Stillness in Motion. In this session, we’ll explore the beautiful balance between movement and stillness—two seemingly opposite forces that, when harmonized, create a sense of wholeness within us.

In Child's Pose (Balasana), try drawing your shoulder blades down your back. This helps to open your chest and shoulders, creating space, promoting relaxation and deeper breathing.

I’ve been teaching yoga at a Wiltshire school this week. We learnt 2-4 breathing, activated our ears and noticed the weather changing outside without looking, went on a yoga adventure with ‘Stella the stick insect’. She taught us we need to be our true selves and believe in ourselves. We tried challenging poses and were amazing at them! Finishing off with a short meditation and game. Mrs Yo is super proud as always.

Our affirmation for the week is 'I am strong, capable, and worthy'.

Please enjoy this poem by Ella Wheeler
I am the maker of my own fate, I am the fire, I am the flame, I am the storm that cannot wait, I am the sun that lights the way.
I am the strength within the weak, I am the courage in the night, I am the silence when I speak, I am the one who fights the fight.
I am the dream, the hope, the soul, I am the answer to the call, I am the one who dares the whole, I am the love that conquers all.

We continue with the Yoga for the mind course, a six-week journey designed to uplift your mental well-being, helping you feel more balanced, energised, and at ease.

We move onto week 4 on Monday with the class 'Yes to You', it is all about reconnecting with yourself and building self-confidence. Together, we’ll celebrate your unique strengths, focus on self-kindness, and rediscover the power within. These practices are designed to leave you feeling strong, empowered, and full of self-belief.

You are welcome to join the classes anytime throughout the term. Book here https://app.ubindi.com/Amie.Joachim
