GreenCo. Yoga with Nancy

10/08/2026

I’m going to be taking a break from social media. But I’ll still be here for messages, but I’ll be deleting the apps for a bit (not sure how long). But to help understand, here’s some of my recent ponderings - as a business woman, a yoga teacher and a regular social media user (addicted to social media for the dopamine hit in my ADHD brain!)

Read on for more! (If you’re still with me) Instagram doesn’t allow long captions anymore. Maybe to stop us ranting 😂

Asana (the yoga posture) was never supposed to be a strict set of rules on how to shape your body. It was always supposed to be a means for flowing energy through your body, an exploration of your own body and how it moves.

The western world and social media has diluted what yoga is and made it seem like asana is the main goal, the big purpose of yoga and being your “best self” - don’t even get me started on social media and the west thriving on others insecurities (that’s another post! 😂)

Asana in a traditional sense is defined as posture, but more so in a sense of transitioning to meditation and detachment of the mind - the intrusive thoughts of past and future. Instead, allowing you to remain present in your yoga practice.

We practice yoga asana, along with breath work and meditation, so we can free our energy forces, like the chakras, koshas, nadis and vayus, to achieve freer flowing energy through our whole self and finding more balance within our whole life, not just in that single moment you practice an asana and not just on your mat.

I think sometimes, the real roots of yoga get watered down across social media and in western teachings. But it’s often forgotten that yoga is a way of living, on AND off the mat. Treatment of yourself AND of those you meet on a day to day basis.

So here I am, not trending, not an influencer and not bothered about who reads this. But hoping whoever reads this, it resonates with you and we can keep spreading the traditional roots of yoga ❤️👍

Taking the time to spend quality time with family, loved ones and making new memories has always been so important to me. Hearing Bree’s little laugh and seeing the pure joy on her face makes me so happy that I took the time away from work and actually slowed down 🥰

And of course, an obligatory feature of my “little” furry companion! Samwise Gamgee, the best and most loyal little pup I’ll ever have.

Just a little reminder - I’ll be back to classes as normal on Monday 10th August ✨ See you there!

Last class taught today before I take a little break.

Aside from a couple of things - one to ones and mum and baby yoga - I’ll be off again to enjoy some quality family camping and then a holiday from my holiday 😂

I think I’ll need the time after to fully decompress, instead of doing my usual and rushing back in to work.

I’ll be back fully on Monday 10th August ❤️✨

A few little snaps from our trip to Northumberland. It was a beautiful holiday, and I'm happy to be back, feeling like I've had as much rest as I can while entertaining a toddler for a whole week! And huge thank you to Pendle Wellbeing Hub and Crow Wood for sorting cover! I'm back in full swing now, doing all my regular classes, and I hope to see you there and share the studio spaces with you all once more.

This weeks yoga schedule ✨

It’s the summer holidays, and some of you might be feeling the need for yoga more now than ever before - whether you’re going away, been away or entertaining the kids all week, it’s tough! And summer can be an overwhelming time amongst the sunshine and lovely days out. You can come home in an evening feeling fully depleted of energy, and yoga can help you recharge the energy ready to do it all again the next day.

If you’re like me, and need that recharge, maybe this is your sign to come along and give yourself that well needed time be with your self for a moment.
