The essence of (yin) yoga = You, Inside, Now

I love how yin yoga gives us time to tune inside, be in the present moment and practice mindfulness of the body, breath, feeling and mind. Yoga isn’t about the poses we can get ourselves into, it’s about the quality of awareness.

I’m looking forward to teaching a mini serious of yin yoga classes on Friday night at 6 pm.

❤️ Have your props handy
🧡 Wear your cosiest outfit
💛 Light candles
💚 Burn your favourite oil
💙 Set an intention
💜 Relax and let go

CANDLE LIT YIN YOGA FRIDAYS 🕯☺️🕯

Has the past year left you feeling flat, exhausted, unenthusiastic, wired and tired? Do you suffer from adrenal fatigue and poor digestion? Or perhaps you’d like to unwind before the weekend and get a really good night’s sleep?

Join me through April on Friday night at 6pm for a deep rest. In yin yoga we place the body in poses which stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, activating the rest and digest response as well as stimulating energy pathways linked to our inner organs. It’s by no means the same as relaxing on the couch.

We will use lots of props to give ourselves the support we need. If you don’t have any, you can easily improvise with blankets, pillows, cushions and books.

£6 per class to drop in
Or use up your block booking

Message me if you’d like to join.

Today I started Menopause Yoga Teacher Training with @menopause_yoga

How fabulous that we can talk about it, that there is information and support for women, that menopause is becoming a hot topic. How sad it isn’t available to all and it wasn’t always this way.

Change is on the way. Excuse the pun 😆🥰❤️

I Am Enough — A Poem about Worthiness
~ Jennifer Williamson

There is a wholeness that’s already mine.
It’s already ours.
I am not just the seed,
I am the rain that waters the flower.
It’s a reality that’s already there,
That I am enough.
I take on faith
That wholeness is already mine,
That I need do nothing to deserve,
That my worthiness is based only on my being.
 
I am wise enough to let go,
And I am strong enough to remember the truth
Of who I really am.
I can encounter the world
In such a way
That I remember who I am.
 
I am the rest inside the unrest.
I am the depth of the sky,
And the light piercing the sea.
I am the crest of a wave.
All that I need to be,
I am.
 
There is no problem to solve in this moment.
There is no plan to make,
No failure to be feared,
No other place to be.
This moment is enough.
This place is enough.
This imperfection is enough.
I am patient enough for my life to unfold in divine timing.
 
I feel the fullness of my life in this moment.
I feel the richness of my life in this space.
I am loved beyond thought,
And I have nothing to prove.
There is no one to impress.
I receive the message
That being is enough.
 
I am wise enough to see magic through a child’s eyes.
I am resilient enough to see past the pain.
I am kind enough to realize
That my worth has been with me
This whole time.
 
Beyond the shadows
That I have created,
The message remains:
I am the same.
I have always been enough,
Simply by being here.
Simply by being.
 
It only takes a moment,
And I remember this again. ...
