I'm so pleased to announce that Lucy will be covering my classes while I'm off on Mat Leave 🀩

I have one class left of Yoga Flow this coming Tuesday, then Lucy starts from the following week, August 11th. And you can book her class now! Just head to www.picktime.com/yogawithlucy

I will continue with my other class offerings into late September/early October, so keep an eye out for those booking links, coming soon.

Please give Lucy a warm welcome and be sure to try out her class, I know I can't wait to come once I'm getting back to it after baby 😊

RESTORATIVE YOGA - the class you didn't know you needed.

The next 3 Thursdays 18:30-19:30 noust.studio

I teach a range of classes and see that most individuals gravitate towards challange (or tapas in our yoga practice). My faster paced, more muscles used, sweatier classes are so often more popular. It's the kind of class that helped me fall in love with the practice too!

But one thing that always stuck me when I only hosted one class and would host a one-off slower class is that after I would look around and always see smiles of deep contentment and hear "I really needed that".

See we don't often chose to slow down, and I totally get it. You're maybe sitting at work, or when you do get time to book a class, you opt for something that will push your heart rate up and "improve" you. But what we often forget is to be able to make the most of the energy we have available to us is that we need to be able to cultivate it.

This doesn't mean busting your butt off at an exercise class, then maximising your effort at work (or at least focusing all those hours to be productive), coming home, making dinner, seeing to kids, and turning on a show or something. It doesn't mean doom scrolling till your eyes finally shut and we enter sleep in a very 'brain still switched on' manner. No, as humans we also need deep rest too, in order to restore the energy we have available to us.

This deep rest is exactly what Restorative Yoga provides, along with long held stretchs to allow you to release deep into your facia. We learn how rest can be productive too and allow ourselves to be lulled into finally letting down.

If you're interested please join us on Thursdays, now from 6:30pm - 7:30pm by booking yourself in at www.picktime.com/sarasanayoga

Let us all practice Brahmachyra, the correct use of energy πŸ‘Œ

Hello lovely yogis! It's nearly the summer holidays and with that comes some updates 😊

Last week rounded up the 5th and final session of Intro to Yoga, so it's back to 3 classes a week.

TUESDAYS
1:15-1:45 Chair Yoga
5:45-6:45 Yoga Flow (Now the Ashtanga Sequence)

THURSDAYS
7-8pm Restorative Yoga

Chair yoga runs for 5 weeks from today and then will break for summer.

June 30th is the last date you can book a block with me for Tuesday Yoga Flow as my last teaching day of that class will be August 4th and I'm away July 14th. I'm hoping to announce soon my cover for maternity leave for this class 😊 who should be with you from August.

I've not decided if I will do another block of Restorative Yoga in August so please bear with me while decide 😊

See many of you today and tonight 🧘

Tuesday Yoga Flow class update: until mat leave we'll be focusing on the Ashtanga Primary Series, which is set flow of asanas, many of which we do in class already. It's a great thing to practice the same sequence every time, as it give a good lense for reflection and observance. Also, while I do already demo less in the Yoga Flow class, it gives more scope for that meaning I can hopefully teach well into the summer ⭐🀞

See all you yogis and yoginis soon!

⭐ Join the final block of Chair Yoga before the class stops for the school holidays ⭐

This meditative class helps calm body and mind while also mobilising joints and stretching the body.

Its great for individuals who are interested in yoga, but who find the up and down movements from the mat challenging. It's also a wonderful form of meditative movement for any ability, and would be a fantastic lunch break class for those working in Kirkwall.

Block dates are
June 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th

Grateful for being asked to teach at the Blide Trust this year. Last year I did two sessions and this year I was lucky enough to be asked back for 8 more. Its so beautiful to see the benefit of the yoga practice before my very eyes.

Some feedback after the practice:

"I slowed down enough to focus on the good things"

"It felt like an oasis in the darkness"

"It was like a sanctuary, moving mindfully with the breath and body"

I found yoga in a time of deep darkness and prolonged self harm. It too felt like a ray of light in the dark and has, over the years, continued to help me grow that light into what feels like a constant now.

I'm so thankful to have this practice and be able to share it with others. To all that brings out our light, namaste πŸ™

There are some great asanas (poses) that theme with the moon.

In tonight's Vinyasa class we did the Chandra Namaskara, a very energising and dynamic flow. This Wednesday/Thursday is the full moon, so I thought it's be fun to carry the theme over to Thursday as well, as we also dwell on the final 5 limbs of Yoga.

Expect some crescent moons, a supine uttitha Tadasana, and maybe a balasana. I've toyed with exploring how to make a crescent lunge restorative, so bare with me, I may include it as well!

See you on the mat 🌝 🧘 🌝
