🕉️ Bodies are anatomically different. Some things come easier to some people; other things come easier to others.

This journey has taught me to appreciate what my body can do, rather than being disheartened by what it can’t.

Celebrate your wins and stay humbled by your struggles.

Hari Om Tat Sat 🕉️
Jai Sri Ram 💐

🕉️ Eventually, the mat begins to feel like a playground. You play. You explore. There is joy, happiness and contentment. You don’t need to do more, achieve more or prove anything.

You simply do what you can, with discipline and devotion, and enjoy the play.

It’s taken a while, but I am starting to get there. (Wherever “there” is…. )

Hari Om 🕉️
Jai Sri Ram 🙏🏽

I’m delighted to welcome Francesca Di Rosso to Newcastle for a special weekend in beautiful Whitley Bay — A Woman’s Journey Through Yoga & Ayurveda — exploring what happens when we bring these two sister sciences together to better understand and support the female body.

Francesca brings more than 20 years of dedicated Ashtanga practice and teaching, rooted in the tradition she received from Nancy Gilgoff. I’ll be bringing my perspective as an Ayurveda Consultant, drawing on years of study and clinical experience in Ayurveda, alongside my own experience of practising Ashtanga with a congenital fused spine and the pivotal role Ayurveda has played in my healing journey.

The weekend includes Mysore-style Ashtanga practice in person, alongside two afternoon workshops: Ayurveda & Ashtanga for Menstrual Health on Saturday and Ayurveda & Ashtanga for Pregnancy & Postpartum on Sunday. Both workshops are available either in person or live online.

Together, we’ll explore women’s health through both Ayurveda and Ashtanga, looking at what Ayurveda teaches us about the female body, from menstruation and fertility through pregnancy and postpartum, alongside how the Ashtanga practice can be adapted to support the body through each of these stages.

📍 Purnam Ayurveda, Front Street, NE25 8DP, Whitley Bay
🗓️ 14-15 November 2026

Full weekend - £150
Ashtanga Yoga sessions - £15 each
Afternoon workshops - £60 (in person)/£50 (online) each

You don’t need to practise Ashtanga to join us. Beginners are welcome, and if you’d just like to attend the workshops, that’s great too.

Swipe through for the full programme and everything we’ll be exploring across the weekend OR visit the Event page https://www.purnamayurveda.com/a-womans-journey-through-yoga-and-ayurveda

I’m really looking forward to sharing this with Francesca and creating a space for practice, learning and honest conversation around something that deserves far more attention.

🕉️ Frozen shoulder can cause severe pain, restricted movement and sleepless nights. It is an incredibly common problem, yet many people find themselves struggling with symptoms for months, with limited options for relief.

Here’s one client’s experience with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage and how it helped him regain mobility in his shoulder and become pain-free.

“initially went to get help with my hand ,physiotherapy had diagnosed it as frozen shoulder, and I was in severe pain every night. I couldn’t sleep because of it, and my physiotherapist suggested I might need a steroid injection.

After coming to Purnam Ayurveda for Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with Akanksha, I noticed progress from the very first day. She was attentive and clearly very knowledgeable, and my pain disappeared completely , I can now move my right hand without any discomfort at all.

I’m truly grateful for the care I received. If you’re dealing with pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, I’d highly recommend giving this a try.”

If you’re suffering too, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage may be worth exploring. Get in touch to book a session 🤍

🕉️ I have a thing for arm balances.
Bakasana is an arm balance, but in my practice, the key to unlocking this posture has been creating space in the upper body, particularly between the shoulder blades, and of course, keeping a deep steady breath.

🕉️ Let me tell you what happened to the Amrita after Lord Dhanvantari emerged from the Cosmic Ocean carrying the nectar of immortality.

The story doesn’t end with the nectar appearing. In fact, this is where things become even more fascinating…

What follows is a tale of greed, deception, divine intervention and the birth of Rahu and Ketu, two powerful forces that hold an important place in Vedic astrology and are traditionally associated with solar and lunar eclipses.

Have you heard this part of this incredible mythological tale before? 🙏
