My Kind of Yoga Guernsey

With the warmer weather this weekend and the uplifting sight of the beautiful blossom on the trees and hedgerows, it really feels like Spring has arrived at last! As we move into the theme of Spring in class, the intention this month is Blossom.
It’s so easy, in our fast-paced lives, to forget that we are intrinsically linked to the Earth, Nature and the changing seasons. Just like the trees, our energy levels are rising after winter’s hibernation and we too can start to blossom into the year ahead.
As we move through this month’s practice, ask yourself what you want from each class. This may reflect what you are currently hoping to achieve off your mat too. Join me for an energising, heart-opening but also contemplative flow to help guide you towards your best version of you!

This month’s practice focuses on the Anandamaya Kosha and finding our ‘flow state’ - that sense of fluidity between mind and body, where you become totally absorbed by and deeply focused on what is happening in that moment, creating a feeling of pure contentment, free from distraction.
I will be teaching this morning 09.30 at the All About Yoga studio and this week, I get to teach an extra class! Join me at 18.00 this evening as I cover for the lovely Jane England at Beau Sejour - all welcome.

HOW MANY YEARS DOES IT TAKE TO GET
FLEXIBLE?

This is an impossible question to answer - at least, to answer definitively. Yoga has nothing to do whatsoever with flexibility - that
flexibility is a side benefit practicing yoga and no measure of the depth or strength of your yoga practice.

Flexibility looks different for every person. You need to let go of the idea of attaining some perfect posture.

You also need to learn to distinguish between tension and compression in your practice so you know when vou hit the mechanical end range of movement within your body. You also need to learn how to become aware of not just muscular tension but also mental and emotional tension.

This will help you go deeper over time when it's not muscular tension holding you back, but mental holding patterns.

How does this stretching and holding funny poses give courage and inner peace? It’s quite simple, actually. We move our body in unusual ways. As we prepare for each asana, doubt or fear may arise. Sometimes this negative feeling is so subtle, it’s not noticeable; other times, it’s blatant — like the fear of falling in Sirasana (headstand) or when you lift your hands during Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) to touch your thighs.

By mastering difficult asanas, you gain a sense of achievement and courage. Just as a runner’s high extends throughout the day, so do these positive feelings that began during asana practice continue with the practitioner.

This heightened sense of confidence and courage leads us to take chances we wouldn’t normally take. 🤍

Trust me, you don't always need your mat to practice yoga. So if you can't make it to your mat here are 5 ways to practice
anyway:

1. Begin your day by setting a 'sankalpa'
It's important to set your intention right when you wake up when your mind has not yet been clouded with the endless
tasks and to-do lists for the day. Use it throughout the day when it starts to feel a little chaotic.

2. Be kind (ahimsa - non-violence)
Always start with yourself. If you are an as***le to yourself, you are most likely an as***le to other people. And let's face it, no one likes an as***le.

3. Breathe (pranayama). Speaking of, breathing is one of the kindest things you can do for your body. Don't underestimate the power of your breath. If you really think about it, breathing is a sacred experience. It should be cherished - your life literally depends on it. Stop at least one time a day to breathe intentionally for 1-5 minutes.

4. Fuel your body with high vibrational meals Just like breath is our life force, food is our energy. Food has the ability to raise your cholesterol, create brain fog, fatigue,
acne, and belly fat, to name a few. Or, food has the ability to give you vitality, clarity and focus, balance your pH, level out
blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and hell, maybe even cure some illnesses - all by what we choose to put into our bodies.
What we put into our bodies often influences other decisions we make, so honor the vessel. It is, in fact, the only one you will ever have.

5. Keep your space organized (aparigraha - non- possessiveness). Clutter creates chaos. A messy outer world often means a
cluttered and messy inner world. We function at a higher level when our space is clean and workable. Think simple, and start
small.

Let go of what no longer serves you. That sweater you haven't worn in 3 years? Toss it. That belief that getting health is too
hard? Let it go. The next time you think you absolutely need something, think twice.

So the next time you catch yourself coming up with a million different excuses to not get on your mat, remember that yoga
is a diverse, unique and personal practice - and it's accessible to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Let us sort you out….

Monday Yoga 7.30-8.30pm

Sadly the lovely Karen who usually teaches in the studio on a Monday evening has broken her arm 😣 so whilst Karen takes a much needed rest, will be holding the Monday evening class in her absence.

The perfect way to chill yourself out after a long Monday!
