Bringbalanceback2u Yoga for everyone
We comply with GDPR policy May 2018 My yoga journey started in the late nineties as I was working for British Airways.

I was flying around the world, but I didn't feel very grounded. I started to do a yoga class in every country I visited. After the first class I was hooked! I felt like it helped me feel grounded and balanced. I then started to do as many classes as I could, even when I wasn't flying. When 9/11 happened, my company offered unpaid leave and I decided to take my love of yoga further and look for a teacher training course. I qualified in 2003 and haven't looked back! My children inspired me to take my yoga journey further and I qualified in baby yoga with Birthlight and children's yoga with Calm for kids a few years later. I continue to train each year with my favourite teachers, which include Julie G and Makunda. I teach all levels and my aim is to help people with their journey. I teach with humour and a genuine desire to help people find the balance & grounding that I found in this crazy world we live in!

Resistance.

End of term this week and we are going to be working with resistance.

Physically using bands, but thinking about mental and emotional resistance too.

We will be working with loops.

We will be thinking about how mental and emotional resistance cannot exist without physical rigidity and how a lack of boundaries can leave us physically mentally and emotionally exhausted.

It's getting more colourful and colder!

As the animals start to grow thicker coats and conserve energy in preparation for hibernation, the plants go dormant and the leaves change colour and drop, we layer up, crave comfort foods, spend more time indoors and reduce our activities, in order to cope with the onset of the colder weather.

"Never stand when you can sit down and never sit down when you can lie down." Winston Churchill's advice for economy of effort and maximising efficiency and success.

We do this instinctively when the seasons change to conserve energy for when it is needed most.

Important at this time of year to keep moving. Movement prevents joint stiffness and muscle tightness, improves circulation, elevates our mood to prevent the winter blues, generates internal heat and works the lungs which remove bacteria and boost our immune system.

In yoga all poses can be done standing, sitting or lying down making it accessible to all energy levels and adaptive to the seasons.

Time change.

Our Yoga class for tonight will be at 730pm. This is to accommodate parents evening.

Our clocks will be changing soon as well. A couple more weeks of more daylight, then we adjust our time by an hour on Sunday 25th October.

We gain an extra hour in bed, but the trade off is less day light. Not sure I'm ready for it yet? I am still enjoying all the sunshine, and less sunshine can have an effect on our energy levels.

As autumn starts, we feel the seasonal shift. A noticeable drop in temperature, damper air and heavier ground. The trees are rich in beautiful colours for now, but will shortly start to let go of their splendid leaves as the nights draw in.

We layer up and stay warm as the weather cools and we are naturally inclined to more of a sedentary lifestyle. We can start to feel our muscles and joints stiffen and ache.

Now more than ever we need to prioritise movement. Especially as a whole day or two of leaf raking beckons and can be quite labour and body intensive! Maybe this year, if we make movement a daily priority, keeping our muscles warm and joints mobile, we will avoid the aching shoulders and back of the autumn clear up!

Longevity.

Muscle tone, lung function, social connection and stress management/emotional resilience are all markers of longevity and biological ageing.

Over time fewer muscle fibres are activated and motor neurons die. This leads to poor balance and strength, slower reflexes and reduced coordination.

Posture has an influence on lung function and is important for how well our bodies use oxygen.

The digital age is having an effect on meaningful social connections and we are interacting with real people less, working from home, shopping online etc

The frantic pace things are moving see multiple things needing doing quickly and all at once and this effects our ability to cope and manage stress.

The answer? Rebuild/engage with habits that positively effect the body and brain and promote longevity.

Leave the phone alone more, set limits and distance from notifications and tap into a community that builds social connections, fires up your muscles, improves breathing function and posture and allows a pause from everyday stressors.

"If you don't sow, you don't reap." Jim Rohn.

The energy you put in to anything, comes back to you. That's the law of nature! If you lovingly plant a garden, you will get some veg. There is a season for sowing and a season for reaping. Now it is time to gather in/harvest. Nature reminds us that any effort we apply, comes back to us.

Think of this in terms of our body and brain. If we lovingly tend to them with positive energy, happy thoughts, kind words, gentle movement, awareness and listening, we reap health, flexibility, strength and inner peace.

If we force our body and mind into potions it is not ready for and push on regardless without listening, there is tension, stress and injury.

"What you sow you reap. It's the law of nature." Bob Proctor.

Nowhere is this more evident than on your yoga mat. If we are challenged by a pose, do we give up or remain calm and focused and sit with the challenge to see the fruits of our labour/effort? When we pause and sit with and observe our breath, do we get irritated and distracted and fidget or do we stay still, tune in with awareness and observe what arises and find the peace and calmness? Not always easy, but surely worth the effort.

This applies off our mat, in life as well.

Are you feeling Autumnal?

Now that we are having less daylight hours and less exposure to sunlight and the weather is getting cooler, we get ready to welcome Autumn.

Autumn is all about change and transformation. Temperatures drop, leaves change colour and days are shorter.

The Autumn equinox is on September 22nd, next week.

Get ready to welcome the new season. It feels more mellow than the busy days of Summer. Time to take things easier, slow down, reflect, take stock, retreat, have a clear out and let things go.

Time to mirror the rhythm of the Earth.

Returning.

Are you ready to come home?

Hope you all had a lovely summer holiday with slower mornings, plenty of long days in the sunshine, meeting friends and family and enjoying drifting along with fewer obligations.

As we exit the August bank holiday weekend, i always feel like it's the unofficial end of the Summer and we get ready to welcome the structure and routines and the darker evenings of September?

Of course coming home is always there within/for us. The returning. How often did we manage to find time to sit in silence and just breathe and listen to what our body was saying in the summer break? Have we neglected ourselves? Are you ready to get back to you? To listen to your internal signals, away from the external happenings.

"The ache for home is in all of us. The safe place, where we can go as we are, and not be questioned."
Maya Angelou.

Let's get grounded back in routine, switch off our phones, be on our own and take some steady breaths and see what our body is truly saying.

Are you ready to come home?

Yoga starts back next tuesday 8th September at 7pm.

Nearly time to fly off for the summer break. Last class tonight before September.

It is time to spread our wings and look forward to freedom and adventure.

"There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky and you ask "What if I fail?" Oh, but my darling what if you fly?" Erin Hanson.

The summer affords us a true break from routine and stress and have to do's and allows us time, space and opportunity to rest and recharge. Doing things will no time constraints and being able to just flow and see where things take us and do more outside in nature.

"If you truly want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down." Toni Morrison.

Are you prepared for departure?
Are you ready to take off?

In your lane or stuck in a jam?

Patterns we adopt and repeat over a lifetime leave an impression. These can be positive or negative.

A good habit repeated regularly leads to a good outcome. Other habits can be harmful to our health and psyche.

Do we recognise habits in our body/mind that hinder? Do we notice which habits help?

Think about something as simple as how you sit. Do you always cross the same leg infront, do you drop the pelvis back, do you round the upper spine forward and could you be doing all of these things together!? Repeatedly.

Even something as small as sitting at a computer or in a chair, if done for hours on end, day to day, becomes a habit. Does your body tell the story of how you move habitually?

Notice also the habitual patterns of your mind. Look at what you say to yourself continually. Is it useful? Negative self-talk erodes self esteem, which over time sees your inner critic get louder and effect you mentally. Do you notice how your habitual thoughts, beliefs and attitude influences your state of mind and how you approach things?

Notice how these habits manifest in the body/mind. Notice what you need to do to help your body counter the effects of these habitual patterns and instead of being stuck in a jam, find your groove.

The water lily.

July's flower of the month.

Waterlilies represent rebirth and spiritual awakening. These beautiful flowers float serenely on calm waters, rising from the mud below. They symbolise the ability to rise above and despite difficulties and continue the journey of the soul towards enlightenment.

A symbol of resilience.

A powerful statement of a calmness, beauty and grace, despite the journey from the muddy depths. A rising up from the physical to the spiritual world.

The yoga journey sees us start grounded like the waterlily, facing challenges on and off the mat, moving through life with all its ebbs and flows, navigating our way to our strongest self, our true potential, our inner light, where we radiate and blossom.
