Yoga gives us a brilliant set of tools to regulate our nervous systems, get comfortable in our bodies and feel more grounded and able to move from a place of calm.

I'll be re-starting yoga classes on the 7th and 9th September - looking forward to a new half term! It's the ideal time to start yoga if you have never done it before, as we will be going right back to the beginning in the Beginners class!

We will be learning how to move mindfully in our bodies, adapting the poses to work for us, and paying more attention to how we are feeling rather than how we look. We will also focus on breath awareness and relaxation. All the tools you need to feel a bit calmer and less overwhelmed.

I've been doing an excellent yoga CPD course for teachers, with Doug Keller, and I found this little gem of a yoga class lurking on You Tube, freely available to all.

One of the gifts that yoga has given me is a better sense of what my own thoughts and emotions are - the ability to notice and observe bodily sensations, thoughts and explanations - without getting completely caught up in them.

I love this meditation from Esther Ekhart on the topic of difficult thoughts and emotions, and I hope you find it helpful too:

How learning to question the stories in my head has changed some of the biggest decisions in my life.

It was lovely to get this feedback from a relatively new student in my intermediate class, Dr Shan Jones: "Just had to say how much I’ve enjoyed your sessions. The variety of poses, mediation techniques and breathing exercises have really helped me. I always come away from your sessions feeling energised and refreshed."

I love introducing new people to yoga, getting to them and how their bodies move, helping them to find their own best way to practice. Most of us experience challenges in our lives and yoga has so many tools to help us meet them with a little more spaciousness and calm.
