I teach hatha yoga, the asana (movement) part of my classes tends to be slow(ish) moving and alignment focused. Classes can be challenging, stimulating, or soft and nurturing depending on the circumstances. A human biologist by training I take a pretty down to earth approach and I am particularly fascinated with the effects that the practices can have on our physiology in helping to maintain physi

cal integrity, support the immune system and calm the nervous system. I am also interested in yogic philosophy particularly relating the ancient teachings to modern day themes and the everday emotional challenges that touch us all at some point in our lives. Primarily I aim for my classes to be friendly, open and accessible to all - quite simply I want you to leave the room feeling better than you did when you came in!

This week all of my classes have focused on somatics.

Somatics is a little different from yoga. Rather than being interested in the shape we're making on the outside, it's primarily a practice for the nervous system. Our attention turns inwards, towards sensation, awareness and the perception of our own internal landscape.

Using small, slow, floor-based movements, we explore how little effort is actually needed to create meaningful change. There's no striving, no pushing, no trying to stretch further. Instead, we invite the body to soften, notice and respond.

With this continuing hot weather, it feels like the perfect practice πŸ’›.

It's finally time to share a secret I've been keeping...

After years of hiring beautiful venues from other people, Wise, Wild & Well has found its forever home πŸ₯Ή. This September I'll be opening the doors to my very own studio. This honestly is a dream come true.

My vision is that this is a space where the moment you step through the door, you take a deep exhale and your shoulders soften. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, knowing that for a little while at least, there’s nothing else you need to do, and nowhere else you need to be.

Alongside some regular yoga classes, the studio will become home to longer workshops, creative gatherings and unhurried mornings or afternoons with tea, homemade cake and excellent company.
It is nestled in the countryside, just 15 minutes from Chippenham and 8 minutes from Calne, but it feels a world away from the pace and pressures of everyday life.

There's a lot to do between now and September - it's going to be a busy summer bringing this little dream to life πŸ˜¬πŸ˜†. I'd love for you to follow along Wise, Wild & Well I share the journey, the inevitable ups and downs, and the first glimpses of the studio taking shape.

For the summer term only there is an option to PAYG for yoga classes. So if you haven't been able to commit to a term recently, now is your chance to sneak a lovely pocket of relaxation into your week. Visit my website to https://www.jokittsyoga.com/yoga-classes.html to save your spot - and your sanity during the heatwave πŸ˜‰.

We start tomorrow, Monday 13th July x

The garden might be in full bloom, but this heat can leave us feeling a little wilted πŸ˜• .

That's why I have designed every class in my High Summer term to be an antidote to hot, busy summer days. We'll be slowing everything right down with floor-based somatics, myofascial release and yin. In other words, lots of rolling around on the floor, a good stretch, and the chance to properly switch off for an hour πŸ˜….

The term runs from next Monday 13th July to 7th August.

I know summer can be a juggling act with holidays, grandchildren, children and time away, so for this term only I'm offering the option to book individual PAYG classes as well as the full term.

If you've been thinking your body could do with a little pocket of cool and calm, there are still spaces waiting for you.

Pop over to my website to book.

Things have been rather quiet on the Wise, Wild & Well page recently, but there's been lots happening behind the scenes!...

Things have been rather quiet on the Wise, Wild & Well page recently, but there's been lots happening behind the scenes!

Some of you may already know that the lovely Jane is stepping back from teaching yoga as she returns to a full time career as a lawyer.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better business partner or friend to share the last six years with. We've laughed our way through what has, at times, been an incredibly steep learning curve, and together we've created some truly special retreats and built the most wonderful community of Wise, Wild and Well women πŸ₯° .

If you're joining us in the Cotswolds this October, or for Radiant Rest in November, don't worry! Jane will absolutely still be there, sharing her beautiful practices and, of course, making her legendary breakfast poached pears πŸ˜‹.

As for Wise, Wild & Well... it isn't going anywhere.

There will be a slight change of direction, but something that feels very true to everything we've always wanted Wise, Wild & Well to be is beginning to take shape. It's still early days, so I can't share too much just yet, but I can't wait to tell you about what's growing.

Watch this space...

It's looking super hot this week, but please don't worry about coming to class!

We'll be fully accommodating the heat by keeping the rooms as cool and airy as possible, and I'll be designing sequences to help you stay cool, calm and collected.

In Yoga, we'll be exploring somatics (otherwise known as rolling around on the floor!) with gentle, nourishing movement to support your nervous system.

In Mindful Strength, we'll shift our focus towards deep core and pelvic floor awareness with a floor-based sequence that feels grounding and supportive.

And if you're very lucky, I might even treat you to a relaxation at the end 😘.

Come and join me for some movement, calm and a little escape from the heat. πŸ’›
