Hello beautiful,
If I'm honest, every single day this week I've been tempted to skip my yoga practice. It's been HOT and my motivation has been lower.
And yet every time I've rolled out my mat anyway, I’ve finished feeling so much clarity, inner peace, and deep gratitude to myself for taking the time out.
When temperatures rise, we naturally accumulate more heat in the body, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. The heat of summer brings a lot of yang energy: activity, movement, stimulation, productivity, busyness.
Beautiful in many ways. But without balance, it can also leave us feeling overstimulated, restless, irritable, scattered, fatigued, and disconnected from ourselves.
This is one of the reasons I love yoga so much. Yoga isn't simply exercise. It's a way of connecting to the body, creating space in the mind, increasing life force energy, and helping us move through our day feeling grounded rather than depleted.
Even when I teach more dynamic Vinyasa classes, I always adapt my sequencing to support what our bodies need. During this heatwave, you'll notice more cooling postures, longer pauses, mindful breathwork, and practices designed to balance the excess heat and busyness of daily life.
If this sounds like something your body is calling for, you can join us for:
✨ **Grounding Flow**
Tomorrow | 9:30am
I've moved the class slightly later to help anyone wanting to avoid rush hour traffic and to make it easier for school run mums to join afterwards.
This class is designed to help you feel centred, calm, spacious, and deeply connected to yourself before moving into the rest of your day.
Gift yourself that hour.
You are so worthy of that feeling you experience when you step off your mat.
✨ **Activation Flow**
Tuesday | 7:00am
And if you're looking for a powerful start to your day, Activation Flow is still going ahead as usual.
Please don't be put off by the class description.
In this heat, all classes will be adapted appropriately, with plenty of options and modifications offered throughout.
My intention is always for you to leave feeling energised, nourished, and balanced - not exhausted.
If you have any questions at all about either class, simply send me a message.
I'd love to see you on the mat. Book classes here: https://withlayla.offeringtree.com
