🌌 This is the last week of exploring the 5 elements. So, we examine the space element – akasha — the container that all of the other elements exist in. All-pervasive emptiness, freedom, spaciousness…  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧘‍♀️ You might pause and note your relationship to the space around you right now, the space you physically occupy. How do you occupy it? With confidence and ease, or with resistance, or anxiety? No need to judge - just to know… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤸‍♀️ We’ll explore different ways of relating to the space around us with wide reaching movements, and we turning our world upside down working towards headstand (the yogis particularly connect head and neck to the space element). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧠 We’ll also explore inner space. Space in the mind allows us to see things clearly, to be alert and present, to use our imagination and be creative. Feeling connected or feeling separate. This is the space of consciousness (chit-akasha) - which guides us toward stillness, truth and transcendence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bodyheartmind #onlineyogaclasses #livevinyasaclass #vinyasaflowyoga #selfcare #homepractice #liveyogaclasses #vinyasa #vinyasaflow #stressrelease #vitality #naturalantidepressant #londonyogateacher #hackneyyogateacher #stokenewingtonyogateacher #islingtonyogateacher #highburyyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #vinyasakrama

Join me at my favourite retreat place @fincadelalamo in Andalucia🌴. This is such a lovely, relaxing place in a beautiful setting and definitely supports instant relaxation, ease and joy 😎. I love the beautiful 80s villa with its great architecture and homely interiors, the pretty cortijos (cottages), the refreshing reed filtered natural pool 💦 and gardens 🎋, and the superb vegan food 🫒. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The small village of Nijar is a pottery hub and worth exploring. It’s also the starting point for meandering countryside walks. The crystal clear sea and stunning beaches are within easy reach, too. And the whole are is flanked by great mountain landscapes and the Cabo de Gata National Park. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📅 10 – 17 June 2023, spaces now filling 📅 17 – 24 June 2023, 1 single + 1 shared twin space available ✈️ Just 30mins drive from Almeria airport ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Click on bio to find all details ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bodyheartmind #planningahead #yogaholiday #yogaretreat #yogaandmindfulnessretreat #yogaretreatspain #yogaandalucia

🌬️ This week we’ll explore the air element in classes - vayu. 🫁 Physically this is often associated with the area of the lungs where we breathe air into the body. 💛 Mentally the air element represents our inner world of feelings and emotions and our tendencies to open up to these or suppress them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ll play with expansion and contraction, fluid and free movement, and a sense of ease and playfulness, as we gradually work towards deeper backbends. We also explore some interesting transitions and reach out into the air in all directions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗓️ I’m here for all classes this week: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Monday 18:15-19:15, vinyasa level 1, yh + ls Monday 19:30-20:45, vinyasa, yh Tuesday 13:00-13:45, vinyasa, yh + ls Tuesday 18:00 - 19:00, vinyasa, st + ls Tuesday 19:30 - 20:30, ty +ls Thursday 12:00 - 13:00, ty +ls Thursday 18:30 - 20:00, anxiety course, yh Friday 8:00 - 8:45, vinyasa, tlc online Friday 13:00-14:00, vinyasa, yh Saturday 10:45 - 12:00 vinyasa, yh ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ yh = @yogahome_london st = @strek.studio ty = @triyoga Shoreditch tlc = @thelifecentre ls = life stream ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bodyheartmind #onlineyogaclasses #livevinyasaclass #vinyasaflowyoga #selfcare #homepractice #liveyogaclasses #vinyasa #vinyasaflow #stressrelease #vitality #naturalantidepressant #londonyogateacher #hackneyyogateacher #stokenewingtonyogateacher #islingtonyogateacher #highburyyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #vinyasakrama

🔥Dynamic movement increases fire or heat in the body – created from the friction of movement in space, and supported by active breathing. As we continue our journey exploring the five elements, this week will focus particularly on ‘agni’ - fire. We’ll cultivate core strength to support a sense of power and confidence from within.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥The fire element is also associated with the ability to balance sensory, emotional or mental experiences, reflect and digest our own experience, and create a sense of equilibrium. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥Mentally, the fire element supports focus, clarity and inspiration; it lets us move through life with courage, inner power and strength. And helps us to transform negative habit patterns and habits.   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗓️ S C H E D U L E T H I S W E E K 🗓️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Monday 18:15-19:15, vinyasa level 1, yh + ls Monday 19:30-20:45, vinyasa, yh Tuesday 13:00-13:45, vinyasa, yh + ls Tuesday 18:00 - 19:00, vinyasa, st + ls Tuesday 19:30 - 20:30, ty +ls Thursday 12:00 - 13:00, ty +ls Thursday 18:30 - 20:00, anxiety course, yh Friday 8:00 - 8:45, vinyasa, tlc online Friday 13:00-14:00, vinyasa, yh ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ yh = @yogahome_london st = @strek.studio ty = @triyoga Shoreditch tlc = @thelifecentre ls = life stream ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bodyheartmind #onlineyogaclasses #livevinyasaclass #vinyasaflowyoga #selfcare #homepractice #liveyogaclasses #vinyasa #vinyasaflow #stressrelease #vitality #naturalantidepressant #londonyogateacher #hackneyyogateacher #stokenewingtonyogateacher #islingtonyogateacher #highburyyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #vinyasakrama

Some of the more subtle things we’ll do in the workshop on Friday to free the neck and the shoulders… Overall, we’ll spend 2 hours looking after those 2 areas of the body that are often particularly tight - through spending too much time sitting at a desk, holding stress in the body (my shoulders are certainly feeling any stress I experience first), or any number of other reasons. We’ll create stability and strength in areas that are weak, and mobility and flexibility in areas that are tight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ FREEING THE NECK AND SHOULDERS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4 November 18:30 - 20:30 @yogahome_london £20 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔗 Details through link in Linktree. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗓️ S C H E D U L E T H I S W E E K 🗓️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Monday 18:15-19:15, vinyasa level 1, yh + ls Monday 19:30-20:45, vinyasa, yh Tuesday 13:00-13:45, vinyasa, yh + ls Tuesday 18:00 - 19:00, vinyasa, st + ls Tuesday 19:30 - 20:30, ty +ls Thursday 12:00 - 13:00, ty +ls Thursday 18:30 - 20:00, anxiety course, yh Friday 8:00 - 8:45, vinyasa, tlc online Friday 13:00-14:00, vinyasa, yh Friday 18:30 - 20:30, shoulder + neck workshop, yh Saturday 10:45 - 12:00 vinyasa, yh ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ yh = @yogahome_london st = @strek.studio ty = @triyoga Shoreditch tlc = @thelifecentre ls = life stream ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bodyheartmind #onlineyogaclasses #livevinyasaclass #vinyasaflowyoga #selfcare #homepractice #liveyogaclasses #vinyasa #vinyasaflow #stressrelease #vitality #naturalantidepressant #londonyogateacher #hackneyyogateacher #stokenewingtonyogateacher #islingtonyogateacher #highburyyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #onlineyogateacher #vinyasakrama #yogaworkshop #functionalmovement #posturalalignment #freeingtheshoulders #shoulderstretches #neckstrength #neckstretches #improvingposture #selfcare #mobilityandstrength #shoulderworkshop #neckworkshop

We feel stressed or anxious because we can – because we’re able to feel these feelings. These are traits that have evolved over millennia, as our capacity to think has evolved. We can travel into the future with our thoughts (and think of all the things that might go wrong there), and travel into the past and think of all the things we’ve already messed up. At least that’s the story we often tell ourselves… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These feelings often mean that we feel restless, depleted and exhausted, have digestive issues, disrupted sleep patterns, or other symptoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The good news is that we can bring resources into our life that help us feel a little more balanced and at ease – at least one moment at a time ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOOLS TO MANAGE ANXIETY AND STRESS 🤯🧠🧘‍♂️ Explore techniques and practices to support yourself through anxious times ———⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thursdays 3 - 27 November 2022

We’ll explore shoulder strength and stability this week with some playful asymmetrical forearm planks. And we’ll add some shoulder stretches and backbends as counterposes.
