Yoga classes, workshops and inspiration for every body

Once more into the breach*…!

by Leave a Comment

I hope you’re all already embracing and enjoying the summer, the heat, the light, the storms and the cooling rain – all that Summer has to offer!

I find myself growing like the fruit and plants of summertime too, and am now preparing to slow things down and hopefully take a little time to pause and rest before baby arrives and life takes another new shape.  But there are still yoga offerings  to enjoy coming up over the next few weeks!

Our final regular class will be on Saturday 18th August.
All classes will be as usual until then:
Mondays, 6:45-7:45pm
Wednesdays, 10-11am
Saturdays, 9:30-10:30am
all @ The Good Health Clinic, Finkle Street.
I hope to see you before I finish!

On Sunday 19th August (10am-12noon), I’ll be running a special extended class, celebrating the seasons and changes.  It’ll be a mix of gentle, yin-inspired yoga and meditation, along with music and sound.  Exploring practices a little more deeply than we regularly get chance to in our usual classes.  And chocolate.  Yoga AND chocolate.  It’s what Sunday mornings are made for!
Booking essential – full details on our workshops page – get in touch to reserve your place!This is not good bye of course, I – and our classes – will be returning!  Until then, the lovely Janice Woods will be running the Monday + Saturday classes in our usual spots.  These classes will commence from mid-late September, I’ll be in touch with further details soon.Hope to see you over the coming weeks!
With love and sunshine

Yoga doesn’t care

by Leave a Comment

I have news for you.

Yoga doesn’t care if you’ve haven’t rolled out the mat all summer,
Or missed a few classes,
Or were meaning to get to class sometime back in April and…it just never happened.

Yoga doesn’t care if you have the latest Sweaty Betty Lululemon ultra-stretchy glitter leggings
…or your comfy old jogging pants with the hole in the crotch;
Or if you can touch your toes and stand on your head –
Or if you haven’t seen your toes in a while and your head feels like a troop of monkeys have taken up residence in there…

Yoga doesn’t care if you had chocolate for breakfast.
Or about your hair or make up
Or the air brushed covers of magazines showing ‘perfect’ bodies in ‘perfect’ poses.

Yoga just cares about now.
Community.
Good intentions, open minds and kind hearts.
The life in this breath and the goodness in our actions.

Yoga cares if you show up.
To practice; to today; to this very moment.

Yoga cares about living your practice, body, heart and mind;
Being the change you wish to see.
This is yoga for life.

Not just for the hour of class.
Not just for the current trend.

Making use of every day and night to realise our potential for love. 

And guess what –
It’s never too late, you’re never too old, it hasn’t been too long (true facts).
Classes start back NEXT WEEK – join us and begin again, start afresh, continue the journey – yoga doesn’t mind which it is for you (and neither do I)!

Check out our new timetable for September – including a NEW Monday evening class!

See you soon yogi friends!

 

Special Summer Yin Yoga classes

by Leave a Comment

Hellooooo Summer!

We’ll be taking a little break from regular classes over the summer, but we’ll be back in September with NEW weekly classes and workshops on offer.  Stay tuned – more on that to come!

In the meantime, there are TWO delicious summer YIN YOGA classes in August.  Summer is a great time to practice yin (…although, in my book, any time is a good time to practice yin!) – when it’s warm outside and nature is in full bloom, this calming, cooling practice is the perfect way to add balance to your days, your mind and your body.  Yin yoga is largely floor based, and rather than using lots of muscular effort to hold postures, we just…let go.  Finding a shape and allowing the body to be supported by the floor and by props, which allows deeper tissues of the body to open, to stretch and to be refreshed.  We also stay in poses for longer – up to 4 or 5 minutes – which gives the body time to soften.  And if you’ve ever tried yin before, you’ll know that slow and steady doesn’t necessarily mean easy!  In creating this quiet space for the body to gently open, it is also a deeply meditative practice, a journey within; practicing patience, compassion and understanding.  It’s enlightening for sure!

Summer Yin Yoga classes are on:

  • Saturday 5th August, 9:30-11am @the Good Health Clinic, Selby (£12pp)
  • Saturday 19th August, 9:30-11am @the Good Health Clinic, Selby (£12pp)

Please get in touch to book your place!

Until then, wishing you beautiful summers of love and light xx

New Year – New Classes!

Happy New Year yogi friends!

I’m BACK baby! I’m delighted to say that weekly yoga classes in Selby will be returning from Saturday 14th January at our new venue, the Good Health Clinic in Selby – a cosy little studio in the sky!

  • Saturdays (two classes), 9:30-10:30am + 10:45-11:45am – Weekend Flow! Come get your weekend off to a flowing start and super-charge your Saturday
  • Wednesdays, 10-11am – Yoga Flow! Your mid-week recharge and refresh

All classes will combine flowing yoga, breath work, relaxation and meditation suitable for all levels of yoga experience.  This is yoga for life – using the tools of yoga to explore this amazing body and the joy of living in ways that make sense not just on the mat, but in everyday life.

More details can be found on our Classes page. I’ll be adding more classes to the schedule as the year goes on, and my teeny yogini grows :)

Prices remain as before, £7 per class, or buy a block of 6 classes for £36 (valid over 7 consecutive teaching weeks).

Spaces are limited, so block-booking is recommended.

Really excited to connect and flow with you all again!

Here’s to the continuing adventure – see you on the mat!
