Shanti Spirit Yoga

Kindness is associated with a concept in yoga called 'ahimsa' which means non-violence. It applies both to other people and also to yourself. This research explains that kindness:

❤️ Kindness associated with lowering cortisol levels.
❤️ Kind acts may improve inflammatory markers.
❤️ Three weekly kind acts decrease anxiety and improve self-esteem.
❤️ Giving a gift before a stressful event means your pulse and blood pressure recover more quickly

See you on the mat this week! 🧘

Research suggests kindness isn’t just a virtue — it’s measurably good for your health.

This is where the magic of yoga lies—not in the perfect ex*****on of a pose, but in how we approach it. Can we let go of the outcome, of how we believe our body should move, and instead cultivate curiosity? Can we be curious about how it feels to try a new pose, how it feels to breathe deeply, or how it feels when we let go of striving altogether?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for. I'd suggest a little yoga. Maybe simply rolling around on the floor and soothing away tension. But then, I would say that wouldn't I? I'm a yoga teacher. 😆🙏

Research that concluded that the drop in oestrogen at menopause directly affects brain function. Nice for science to prove what we said all along! 🙃

"By scanning the brain during a “resting state,” University of Vermont neuroscientists proved that menopause changes how brain networks talk to each other even when you aren’t doing anything at all."

Yes, yoga classes are going ahead as usual on Monday and Thursday evening in person and online on Wednesday. It'll be a slow, gentle, rhythmic practice to set you up for a good night's sleep. We may stay on the floor for the whole of the Wellbeing class depending on how we feel. All classes will close with a long and deeply relaxing yoga nidra. You may want to bring a pillow. 😴🙏❤️

No classes on Tuesday as the school are using the hall.
