This morning we practised some standing poses in a supported and more restorative way. We used the floor, wall, chairs and belts to refine our alignment and help us stay longer without fatigue. This approach still develops stability, balance, and postural awareness whilst keeping the nervous calm system. Instead of pushing, we were learning to observe and adjust, aiming to create space in the body and quieten the mind. A great way to smooth out the stresses from the week ready for a calmer start to the weekend.

As we head towards the end of February we’ll be focusing on restorative poses this week. In Iyengar yoga we follow the ‘Pune cycle’ - a structured 4 week programme that ensures a balanced, systematic practice that focuses on different groupings of poses each week:

Week 1: Standing Poses – Builds foundational strength, stability, and leg engagement.
Week 2: Forward Extensions & Twists – Focuses on flexibility, cooling, and introspection.
Week 3: Back Extensions (Backbends) – Energizes the body, opens the chest, and builds strength.
Week 4: Restorative Poses & Pranayama – Focuses on deep relaxation, recovery, and breath control

This week’s restorative will have a focus on poses that can support digestion. This can be really useful during seasonal transitions and to reduce the heaviness of winter sluggishness.

An uplifting urdhva dhanurasana under my last setting sun in Morocco. A few of us in family were a bit under the weather while we were away so most of my practice was gentle, restorative and cooling. Lots of sunshine, waves, fresh produce and mint tea went a long way in a well needed mood boost.
I have 3 new blocks of classes starting this week from
🧘🏽Tuesday:
Beginners 6.30-7.30pm
Continuing beginners 7.45-9.00pm
🧘🏽Friday:
Beginner 9.00-10.00am
