A reminder that I've had to cancel Yoga classes on 9th and 10th July. These will take place on 30th/ 31st July instead :)

This is perhaps one of the easiest Yoga practices other than lying down in a relaxation posture. A breathing practice where all you need to do is observe and notice the movements that come with your natural breath. If you have a go, let me know how it is :)

We've just completed week 3 of the current 8 week Yoga Courses. Well done to all who have participated - I hope all the practices are making sense and you're managing to do a bit at home :)

After a rather busy week, I have had quite a relaxing evening tonight and enjoyed sitting outside while it was dry enough and watching a stunning sunset. Not quite a salutation to the sun that I was practicing but definitely an appreciation of it :)

We have just completed week 1 of the current 8 week Yoga courses at the The Sanctuary Of Healing, Langho, Blackburn. There wasn't much opportunity to photograph the groups today so here is a couple of photos from the centre and also my journey home later in the afternoon :)

Well done to all who participated and good luck with your practice. :)

We are approaching the end of our current 6 week Yoga course at The Sanctuary Of Healing, Langho, Blackburn. The final session is tomorrow morning and I look forward to seeing some of you there :) I didn't take any photos during the sessions so here is some from around the venue!

It has been a well attended set of courses with three fantastic groups and it is a real pleasure seeing everyone progress and dive deeply into their Yoga practices.

If you are interested in joining us on the next set of courses you can book here: https://ryandixon.co.uk/yogacourses We start on the 4th June and will be covering Posture Practice, Breathwork and Restful Meditation:)

An enjoyable week teaching Yoga at the The Sanctuary Of Healing, Langho, Blackburn as we have reached the end of week 4 of our 6week courses.

No class photos this week, so here are a couple of quick snaps from this morning.

I have enjoyed introducing the group the Kleshas this week as we have continued to explore the Yoga Sutras as a context for practice. To put it briefly these can be considered obstacles that may get in the way of practice and have been instrumental in guiding my own practice and meditation. Useful pointers towards self reflection although not necessarily comfortable!! We'll delve into them further next week!!!

Well done to all who participated :)

That is week 3 completed of the current 5 week Yoga course.

I have enjoyed discussing the Niyamas this term and adding a reflective layer to our Breath work,posture practice and Meditation. This week we were covering Tapas and reflecting on inner fire/discipline/ courage - whether it is the courage to change what needs to be changed, to take action when it is needed, to say yes, to say no… and also the courage to show up on your yoga mat and practice :)

I did walk out of todays class thinking about the Lion from wizard of Oz, so for a bit of fun here is his take on courage :)

What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! This classic bit from the Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites!

We’ve completed week 4 of the current Yoga Courses, well done to all who’ve taken part. Enjoy your home practice. See you soon :)

Well we've just completed week 3 of the current 8 week Yoga courses at The Sanctuary Of Healing, Langho, Blackburn. It has been a pleasure to observe how engaged the participants have been with all of the practices.

We've started off well, deepening our breathwork practices to include the wonderful 4 part breath which can help us to address current breathing habits and, for some, can open up possibilities for breathing with more ease, freedom and space. We've also been continuing with a series of moving sequences and postural practices which are grounded in movement science and somatics. These include spinal movements,dynamic balances and leg strengthening practices , all of which can be adapted to suit different bodies with varying states of stiffness and freedom 😁

I hope your home practice goes well and I look forward to seeing some of you next week 🙂
