This week we are breaking down a beginners Crow Pose! ✨🐦‍⬛

Here are 3 quick adjustments to hopefully make your Crow feel lighter, steadier, and more controlled:

👀 1. Gaze Forward, Not Down

Where your eyes go, your body follows. Looking down shifts your centre of gravity forward into a tip in this one; looking forward keeps you lifted. 🙌

🖐️ 2. Use Your Fingertips as Brakes

Grip the mat (Hasta Bandha) to find more stability and press into the fingertips to stop the body from falling forward.

🐢 3. Go Slow to Grow Control

Rushing the transition relies on momentum, instead of muscle memory. The slower you shift your weight forward into your arms, the more control you build over the balance point. 👌

Save this for your next practice! 💾✨ Happy practicing! 🤸‍♀️

Working on crow pose? Here’s a beginners entry into “low crow”.

The hips and knees are slightly lower than your average crow, which makes it a great starting point. With an added bonus that you are less likely to face-plant if you do fall out of it, as the knees are more likely to come down first. 😉👍

Happy practicing! ✨🤸‍♀️

Studio News & Our Next Chapter 💔✨

If you haven’t seen an email from the studio yet, I’m sharing the bittersweet news that our physical Olney studio venue will be closing its doors on September 17th.

Opening this space has been an absolute dream. I’ve loved every moment of building this community, unrolling mats together, and watching so many of you deepen your practice.

As many of you know, our wonderful landlady sadly passed away recently. They, along with their family, were so supportive of me during my time here, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have brought this space to life. Following their passing, the future of the building became uncertain while under probate, and my lease was extended on a short 3-month basis while plans were being worked through.

I have spent the last few weeks exploring every alternative I could think of, looking at other local properties to lease and local halls to hire, but unfortunately the right venue wasn’t available.

Being without a clear plan wasn’t easy for me. So I made a proactive decision to hand in my keys when my lease comes to an end to confidently start planning and stepping into the next chapter.

As a few of you know, there is now a short-term lease being offered for this building before the estate is sold next year. Ironically both decisions were made around the same time, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason.

I’m in the process of planning The Yogi Place’s future and I’m excited with what could happen next. I’ll be looking to hire large venues for monthly workshops in Milton Keynes and Olney (we know we needed the extra space anyway 😉), and I will have more time for private classes come October. 💖🤸‍♀️

A few of you have also asked about online classes so perhaps this is also an option to be explored! ✨

Don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye, it’s just see you on the mat later. 😉💖

Onwards and upwards! ✨

I’m so excited to finally open these slots as The Yogi Place opens on the high street! This is your chance to become a Yogi VIP! 🧘‍♀️💖

We know yoga is more than just one class; it’s a journey. That’s why this membership has been created. It’s your opportunity to document your journey, work towards those “goal” poses, or simply see where the path takes you with my full support.

This price is only available for the first 20 memberships.

This is for you if you are: ✨

• The Beginner or Re-Starter: You want to feel strong, lean, and capable in your own skin - whether you’re starting from scratch or recovering from an injury. 💪🤸‍♀️

• The Intermediate Yogi: You’ve moved past the basics and you are ready to advance. We will work 1-1 to refine your alignment, build the strength for advanced inversions, and evolve your practice into something truly special. 🧘‍♀️✨

• The High-Achiever: You’re training for a triathlon or a big event and need to stay mobile and injury-free. 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️

• The Busy Professional: You’re “always on” and need a sanctuary to trade the mental noise for total calm. 🕯️✨

I started yoga to feel good in my body, I stayed for the benefits to my mind. It has truly changed my life. It’s the only thing I’ve ever been consistent with without getting bored - and if you know me, you know what a challenge that is! 😂

I now have the opportunity to share this practice with a select group. We will document your progress, smash your goals, and find joy in movement. Knowing your private sessions can be 1-1 or shared with friends and family.

I only have 20 “Founding” spaces for this. This is your time for transformation. 💖🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️
