June Yoga Theme: Creating Space

How often do we rush from one thing to the next, leaving little room to really experience what's happening in the moment?

And does this habit creep into your yoga practice? (It certainly does in mine!)

This month, we'll be exploring the theme of space, using Triangle and Rotated Triangle as our guides.

Together we'll investigate how creating stability can lead to greater freedom, how grounding can support expansion, and how a little more space in the body can often create a little more space in the mind.

As always, plenty of modifications will be offered, including the use of chairs and blocks. Every individual body will do their own individual version of the pose - the photos attached are just a guide.

Join me this June as we slow down, breathe deeply and create a little more room for ourselves, in body, mind and heart 🩵

Have you heard of the free Merlin Bird ID app created by Cornell Lab?

You press a button and the app listens for the birds in your surroundings, and then identifies them based on the likeliest possibility of the birds in your area on that day.

It's very addictive. In my garden a couple of weeks ago, the app identified over 20 different species. I'm starting to be able to identify a couple by sound alone now, too.

My favourite is the Goldfinch. I'm lucky to have quite a few where I live. Such a handsome little bird - that little red face and the dippy way they fly...

Ageing brings many unexpected gifts. The joy of bird watching being one of them... 🐦💚

Today I taught my first chair yoga session in a retirement home.

30 minutes of chair-based movement, tapping, mudras, breathing, and simple joint mobility. By the end of the session, the staff commented on how calm and relaxed they felt, as they all joined in too. 😊

Experiences like this remind me that movement doesn’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful.

Exercise is often presented as intensity. Running forwards. Lifting heavy things. Pushing harder. And whilst strength and cardiovascular fitness absolutely matter, so too does the quieter work:

Circling the wrists.Flexing and pointing the ankles. Rolling the shoulders. Moving the spine in all directions.Turning the head side to side. Breathing deeply.

And in a world that already feels demanding and exhausting, movement practice doesn’t always need to leave us breathless. Sometimes it can simply be ten mindful minutes of wriggling around!

As the French say: bougez ou rouillez — move or rust! 🤍

Thank you for having me as your guest teacher & on your Evening of Bliss last night, in this cosy converted barn in Newby Wiske, just outside

The guests enjoyed stress relieving movement and calming breath work, aromatherapy and a sound bath. Plus goodie bags, treats, and lots of herbal tea.

The next Evening of Bliss is on Friday the 26th June. If you're keen to know more, get in touch with Charlotte or Ange for the details. This one sold out pretty quick, so don't be tardy on your booking.

It's a beautiful way to unwind on a Friday night ✨
