Welcome to Yoga Tree Studio
An oasis of peace, quiet, calm and tranquility in the midst of a loud and busy world. We welcome all who wish to practice yoga and meditation in a safe, clean, warm and cosy space. Take a break from the mayhem of modern day life and join our small, friendly community to reconnect and nourish your mind, body and spirit.
Starting from the 8th of September
£6 per class or £50 for a block of 10
You will need a mat, yoga belt, blocks, blanket and a bolster.
If you only have a mat, come anyway.
Practiced mindfully, yoga can be a truly healing, transformative practice. It works on many levels, physical, mental and spiritual and affects all the bodily systems. Through yoga we learn to feel and to listen to our body, turning our attention inwards, tapping into the vastness and intelligence of our inner wisdom, our greatest and wisest teacher of all.
Some of the benefits of regular yoga practice could be :
- become more supple and flexible
- develop stamina, strength and balance
- improve your posture
- sleep better
- increase self awareness and confidence
- improve mental clarity and focus
- increase lung capacity
- reduce heart rate
- feel inner peace and calm
- reduce stress
- develop tools to cope with everyday stress
- increase energy levels
- and much more
As well as yoga, I offer Thai yoga massage from my studio.
It is a type of holistic therapy, which has roots in the Indian system of Yoga and Ayurveda. Thai Yoga Massage works on the ten Sen, or ten energy channels. The life force energy (prana, qi, ki) flows through these channels. Due to many factors, such as stress, bad posture, trauma, life style, negative believes etc, the channels can get blocked, therefore restricting the flow of energy and potentially resulting in physical or emotional dis-ease. Thai Yoga massage aims to open up the channels, balancing and restoring the flow, so that the body can heal itself, restoring natural equilibrium.
Treat yourself or somebody else. Vouchers available.
My happy place ...... 💙💛

Poem shared in today’s class and one of my favourite shots of a dragonfly sitting on a water lily leaf. It took a little time and patience ...... 🌸
Make Time the Gift It Is
Go into this week
with the attitude that
your peace,
your health of mind,
and your heart
mean more than
getting everything else done.
That your smile matters,
That feeling rested matters.
That holding the hand
of your loved ones matter.
So pause lots,
function at a pace
that doesn’t pull you apart.
Honor the things that
make you feel good inside,
the things that make you feel alive.
Give time to those things this week.
Make time the gift it is,
by giving it to what really matters to you.

“The knees are the residence of the sinews; when the knees are unable to flex and extend, walking is achieved with a hunched back and the help of a cane.” According the TCM.
Doesn’t sound appealing, does it?
In this weeks classes we will be focusing on the knees, the engines, that move us forward, that symbolise endurance, vitality, fluidity and are linked to issues of emotional and psychological support. The knees can carry up to 70% of our weight.
We will be moving blood and prana through the knees and the surrounding tissues with lots of pumping movements, to reduce stagnation. There will also be standing poses to strengthen the leg muscles, as in these two pictures of a lunge and a Balancing Warrior using a wall and a yoga brick, where I’m actively pressing the top of the shin bone into the block, focusing more on the inner knee side (it’s often the weaker side) while at the same time opening the plantar fascia.
You will need a yoga brick, looped belt, blanket and little bit of wall space.
Join me on Zoom tomorrow, Tuesday at 8:30 or Thursday at 18:00

“Let go. Let Be. See through everything and be free, complete, luminous, at home — at ease.”
~ Lama Surya Das
Impermanence and change are inevitable facts of life. Nature demonstrates this perfectly all around us, all of the time. She has no issues with letting go......
🍂🐿🍄🤎🦔🍁🐌 Making the most of the Autumn sunshine after so much rain.
