Berwick & Borders Yoga

Berwick & Borders Yoga Worried about not being able to touch your toes? Come along and find out why that doesn't matter! I first went along to classes to keep a friend company.

I've practised yoga for 30 years, taught for ten, co-founder of Babyama Wellness Hub, not very bendy, excellent at lying down. I hope to build a community of like-minded yoga enthusiasts throughout Berwick and the Borders region. My name is Trood and I've been practising yoga for the past 25 years. I confess, I was more interested in the coffee and cake we went for afterwards...

As time went on

I realised that I was getting more out of yoga than the physical challenge (and the cake); it was bringing me a sense of calm, and for the first time I was gaining an insight into who I really was. Wind forward to last year. Feeling trapped in an unrewarding job, with children grown and in the process of flying the nest, I realised there was nothing holding me back but fear. I took the plunge and successfully gained my 500-hour, CYQ Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga. I can honestly say it was the toughest thing I have ever done, but definitely one of the most rewarding. I work with a sense of fun, acceptance and irreverence. There's a lot of laughter. Come and join me. Classes are 60 (Flow) or 90 minutes (Hatha) long and cost £9.00 (or £7.50 when bought as a block). No need to bring anything other than a mat and a willingness to let go. I'll see you soon!

Cor and phwoar! Listen to that! 😍

Decided to take a l'il ol' hobbling hurple out this morning, and the heavens thought to unleash their bounty as if they knew I'd be unable to run away.

But Mr Kip, my coffee and I were able to lurch with style and take shelter to enjoy this full-on Symphony for Percussion.

Bloody lovely. 🤗

Because, Beautiful Mat People, learning how to regulate our nervous system doesn't need to be serious business. 😘🙏 T x

Day #8. Yep, uh-huh. We're at the stage of lying upside down on a chair with a floral drape reenacting Ophelia's last moments.

Things I'm grateful for today, then? A Gen X childhood and chocolate digestives.

Look at me! All up in yo face with admin even as my leg is all up on a chair.

I'd love to be able to say I'm aceing my to-do list with this enforced down-time but, to be honest, I'm spending much of it pouting and sighing pensively in the manner of a Victorian consumptive.

But here are some things to look forward to for this September, set to some chill music to put you in the right frame of mind.

Because remember, Beautiful Mat People, yoga isn't about the shapes you throw, but how you think about 'em.

In turn, that'll make you think a lot more sensibly about all sorts of PROPERLY important things.

That's why we do it. That.

Come along then, and get yer heid sorted. 🥰🙏T x

I'm interested. How do you respond when you need to take time out due to minor illnesses or operations?

Speaking to people, many of us are grateful to "have an excuse" to rest. Like, we need to earn the right, or it needs to be officially sanctioned.

So we almost welcome being sick in order to grab a few days away from our culture's relentless drive to be productive.

All kinds of messed up, no? Whaddya think? 🤔🙏T x

It gets worse before it gets better, right? RIGHT?🫣

Prepping the front of the house before it's repainted. Soooo much cement bodging that needs removing! 😱

Anyway. Our dear ol' house has always looked something like a dog's dinner. Really because she's lived many lives.

Part of the famous vaulted cellars run under us, as our house was the offices for the old Berwick Brewery.

That fill-in round the front door? Originally, it was the brewery passage through which carts would come and go to the cobbled yard behind.

Those squares either side of the door? Um. Yes, the remains of a later window sill. (Because why remove it if you can just cut through it? I say this, like, ALL the time. 🤷🏼‍♀️)

The bay? A Victorian addition. It was never part of the original building.

Over the last two hundred-ish years,this row of houses has been remodelled, divided, refurbished.

It's going to be really lovely to give this old girl the glow-up she deserves, that still hints at her former glory.

Watch this space! 🤗

Where I write pretty words, overseen by St Virginia.

Like my book, this little nook is still work in progress. I have another moth to hang, and I'm on the hunt for further old glass ink bottles. Or anything, really, that brings me joy to look at or touch. 🤗

Cos I'm a povo, my what-not is from the 70s, not fin de siècle. But I reckon it gives?

A lot of these splendid curios - eg, the nib pens, earthenware ink pots, the wee copper lustre jug - have come from Cameron Robertson, who had a fabulous pop-up a while back. Thank you! 🥰

Shout out must also go to Ali Edwards, whose beautiful coasters are in constant use! ☕️

There're still a few more projects here to complete before my Room of One's Own is totally finished but, cripes and crikey, how lucky am I?

Really, there's no excuse. My Booker Prize-winning novel must surely be in the bag! 🤪
