Dynamic vinyasa flow

🍋🍋I’m sure I’ve said it more than once before. Roasted lemon slices are simply my favourite thing to add to all Mediterranean food. 🍋🍋
Pasta, risotto, you name it… And it goes very well with fennel, fresh garlic and capers 😋

Just back from my first weekend retreat at Potash Barns since the start of the pandemic. What a joy to spend a weekend practicing with an amazing group of people! Thank you all.
The next retreat in December is fully booked, but there’s plenty of space in March (4th-6th) if you fancy a weekend away!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week we’ll explore movement, strength and fluidity as we prepare the body for mayurasana – peacock pose – with variations accessible for all. There will be some rocking and rolling on the floor, some unusual hip opening transitions, some shoulder stabilising and backbending and generally a lot of fun to be had. I’m here for all classes – yay!

In the ancient wisdom traditions 4 elements are described as the basic components that everything in nature is made of – earth, water, fire and air.
They express themselves in obvious and more subtle ways within the body. We can trace them inside ourselves to relate to our internal experience from a different perspective, which can be a powerful way to deepen understanding about ourselves and help the mind to settle. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Join me for a new 4 week meditation course live on Zoom:
🌳🌊🔥🌬️ The 4 elements 🌬️🔥🌊🌳
Thursdays 21 October – 11 November 2021
18:00 – 19:00 (UK time)
(There’s also a recording-only option if you can’t make these dates/times)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There will be short talks and guided meditation, and some time to deepen understanding through sharing and discussion in a small group.
You will receive recordings to download.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will work in a small group of 6 – 12 people to create a safe and inclusive space to explore and practice.

We’ll work with hip stabilising and mobilising this week. Here are some progressions…
At least in some classes we’ll take it all the way to #galavasana or flying pigeon, which brings together upper body and core strength with deep hip opening.
I’m here for all classes until Friday morning, then off to @potashbarns on retreat for the weekend. It’ll be the first one since before the pandemic and I really can’t wait!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’ve had some amazing bread over the last few months (my involvement is purely on the eating side things of course), but I think this wins the price for looking utterly delicious, crusty and mouth watering.
Sadly still too hot to eat….practicing patience – such a virtue 😊🤤😋

Here are some of the progressions (Vinyasa Krama) we might play with this week to cultivate some ease and fluidity to open the heart for increasingly deepening backbends. There will also be plenty of options to stabilise and strengthen the shoulders, and work with hip stability and mobility. Join me for an upbeat, energising flow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus: 🖐️ hands-on assists are back 🖐️ @yogahome_london! The later Monday class and the Friday lunchtime class will now be studio online with optional individual assists. If you’re joining from home there are still 3 live streamed classes every week: 18:15 Monday, 13:00 Tuesday, and 10:45 Saturday.

🤸‍♀️Following on from last weeks handstand explorations we’re looking at some additional drills this week to prepare the muscular connections in the body: upper arms, sides of the ribcage, abdominals…

Becoming more resilient…
How things go in our life is dependent on how we meet challenges, the vulnerabilities we have, and what resources we can draw on.
A major resource is resilience: Our capacity as humans to cope with stress, adversity, or trauma.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Join me to explore practical tools, tips and coping strategies to deepen self-awareness, promote self-kindness, connect to inner strength, and build the trust in our inner support system to enhance our resilience. New 4 week course @yogahome_london starting this Thursday 18:00 – 19:30.
