Tomorrow morning take yourself on a journey through balance and imbalance, strength and flexibility within the body

Explore the challenge of focusing on the breath amidst an infinite stream of thoughts

Experience the awareness that being here now is happening first and thinking here now happens secondarily

Feel your whole Self here 🌬️🌊

Good afternoon folks,

I hope this finds you well ~ tomorrow we have two heart opening classes on offer to help us access a deeper breath but also some extension and flexion in the spine.

Tomorrow morning we gather to practice reversed warrior in both of our classes.

As we navigate our breath, body & mind we notice a little bit more of this moment ~ all of us know the challenges faced with being present.

Our Yoga, breathwork and meditation are wonderful anchors in this sea of experiences.

Let’s be here now.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Hello folks,

I am sharing this post with our updated Summer schedule in case anyone didn’t catch my last one regarding the update. Moving forward our Honest Yoga schedule will reduce from two days a week to one.

Please see below for info on the current schedule, pricing and other particulars if you’re new to Honest Yoga:

All-Levels Flow

I can provide you with mats and props if you don’t have your own – there is no booking required for your class as we rock it old school and steer away from technology.

I’ll always welcome a private message or comment with queries that may arise. Please get in touch if you feel the need to!

I am positive that our Wednesday evening classes will return in the future, but for the next few months they will be on hold.

I shared some info about this in my last post but I am mindful that sometimes we miss updates if the old algorithm doesn’t present it to us and I wouldn’t want anyone to not be aware and show up on a Wednesday evening thinking classes are occurring…

You can look at the caption in my last post for more specifics.

I’d like to mention though that the full-time role I work in the charity sector is not a permanent one and my current work agreement runs until the end of September - depending on what the universe offers me I will be more than happy to return to teaching on Wednesdays if the opportunity presents itself.

I’ve shared Yoga on Wednesday evenings since Spring 2022 and while I will appreciate this little spacious step back I will relish the opportunity to hold space for your practice on Wednesdays in the future.

See you in the moment.

*WEDNESDAY CLASS SCHEDULE UPDATE*

Our Wednesday classes are going to be on hold for the foreseeable folks. I am sorry to have to make this change but I feel it’s the best call I can make at the moment. Our Saturday classes will continue on unchanged but regrettably our Wednesday won’t.

I don’t share much personally on these platforms but to offer an explanation for anyone curious: I started working in the charity sector in February but I prior to this I worked in the telecoms sector and had a hybrid/work from home role. Hybrid working was so handy for me and my Yoga classes because I had much more flexibility for my commute - being remote allowed me to freedom to drive from my home in Belfast to my parents’ home in Armagh on my lunch break so that I was much closer to the Scout Hall for our Honest Yoga classes.

I would finish my classes and sleep over at my parents’ home and work remotely the next day, travelling back to Belfast on my lunch. This allowed me to be much more rested in general after completing my shift and the two evening classes. A wonderful upside to this that I enjoyed was that I had more time in the week with my family in Armagh.

My work in the charity sector is very rewarding and I love it but it is not a remote role so I am in an office Monday through Friday. Yesterday after work during my commute in the heat, the traffic and in the physical/mental fatigue I suddenly felt that maybe this is not the best fit for me and those that practice with me. It also isn’t fair to my loved ones to be spread so thin - so I am taking this into account as well.

I hope that my circumstances change and I can resume the Wednesday evening classes again because I absolutely love sharing Yoga – I have never done it for money. I share Yoga because I love Yoga and I know how it helped me open up to myself, my body and mind. Yoga has been so impactful in my life.

I have practiced for 19 of my 34 years of being a human and I can honestly say I would not be who I am today without it. In fact I would go as far to say that I would not be here now at all without Yoga.

Thank you for understanding and for the support.

Good morning folks ☀️

This week is our final flight into bird-inspired Yoga postures with garuḍāsana ~ eagle pose
गरुडासन

This pose strengthens the legs and ankles, opens the shoulder and upper back. It improves mental focus while helping cultivate confidence and increased balance.

Our beginner classes this week will invite you to get comfortable with the posture in stages with opportunities to try modifications that help you find your best expression of the pose. These offerings will be gentle but still challenging for mind and body.

Our all-levels classes will centre around the transitions into and out of garuḍāsana. These offerings will strike a nice balance between effort in the body and ease in the mind.

Come as you are to breathe, move and be here now
