Rest & Rise with Laura

04/06/2026

Today's Community Yoga was so much fun and I had 7 wonderful people join me for the practice.

Each week we pick cards from the yoga stack at random and explore each of the postures, finding accessible options for everyone.

Today, we had headstand picked! No need to panic, that wasnt our end goal. We focused on building strength in core and shoulders with poses that help us lead up to a headstand.

Some stood and used the wall for forearm press ups, some knelt on the floor and used the chair rocking their body weight back and forth, and some came to dolphin on the mats. All of these met each individual where they were at and allowed them to work with their own level on strength and mobility.

Thats what community yoga is, where no one feels left out or incapable. We just explore with an open mind and have lots of smiles 😃

Well done today folks!

☀️ HALF TERM ACTIVITY ☀️

I'm looking forward to opening my class up to you next week durning half term to remind you to take care of yourself ❤️

Half term can be full of pressure to occupy the kids, make memories and focus entirely on them. Well, you can do that AND prioritise your wellbeing too 😉

Parent Yoga & Play is usually for age 5 and under, but for half term primary school age children are also welcome! Along side the usual toys we will have a craft table and activities for the older kids too.

So they can get creative, play and make new friends whilst you get chance to reset your nervous system.

Our theme next week is an energised flow and powerful breathwork to keep you mentally balanced and ready to ride the rest of half term out 🧘‍♀️

Fancy joining me? Just £6.50, kids go free of course
