Nurture Yoga in Charlton Kings

Coronavirus has certainly mixed thing up, and unfortunately I have had to make the difficult decision to stop teaching for the time being.

It has been such a heartwarming experience, and teaching locally really does put you right at the heart of the community.

Thank you all so much for supporting this small business over the past two years, yoga and empowering women to get strong are still very much in my heart.

Please do consider supporting other local businesses as we go forward.
Small businesses, especially the recently self-employed need your support now more than ever.

Here's some fantastic local businesses who can help you keep well.

Love to you all, and Stay Strong ###

I am delighted to be sharing with you this effective, locally produced CBD product, which is now available through Nurture Yoga and Wellness.

It's just £18.99 for a 50ml tin, with an impressive 200mg of CBD oil.

Jonathan makes this fantastic muscle balm just down the M5 in Bristol.

We discovered it when my husband was suffering with arthritis in his elbow. He was on painkillers, had steroid injections, and it was stopping him from enjoying his passion; mountain biking.
After just a couple of weeks of daily use, he cut his painkillers. This year he's been able to go mountain biking more than ever!

The muscle run is infused with lavender, rosemary and ginger. Not only is it effective, but it smells fresh, and feels amazing to put on, and is completely vegan friendly.

Would you like to try a tub or have any questions? Just DM me and get in touch ☺

Wow, haven't the last four months been a rollercoaster ride?!

Thank you all for supporting this teeny business throughout. I am about to emerge the other side.

The community centres that classes are held in are still closed for the foreseeable, but there's something I feel really passionate about that I would love to share with you, coming very soon.
Watch this space! Xx

Join me for this fantastic Pancake Progression practice; give your hamstrings and hips some love. 😊💜

It's a great practice to build mobility in the lower back, hips, hamstrings and inner thighs.

I've been working on my strength rather than flexibility to develop Hanumanasana.

Mobility is way more important than flexibility, and results in much fewer injuries.

What beautiful sounds. I missed Dawn Chorus, but the sound of birds calling in the morning and that fresh, cool air does wonders for you

Thanks Ian Banyard for sharing the dawn chorus at your house, and inspiring me to share mine.

Here's a wonderful quote by Pema Chodron, she always finds the right words 🙏

Empathy and Kindness

"When things fall apart and we can’t get the pieces back together, when we lose something dear to us, when the whole thing is just not working and we don’t know what to do, this is the time when the natural warmth of tenderness, the warmth of empathy and kindness, are just waiting to be uncovered, just waiting to be embraced.

This is our chance to come out of our self-protecting bubble and to realize that we are never alone. This is our chance to finally understand that wherever we go, everyone we meet is essentially just like us.

Our own suffering, if we turn toward it, can open us to a loving relationship with the world."

From her book Taking The Leap

In this book Pema shows us how to break free of destructive patterns in our lives and experience a new sense of freedom and happiness. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of shenpa, she helps us to see how certain habits of mind tend to “hook” us and get us stuck in states of anger, blame, self-hatr...
