Did you know your glutes aren’t just one muscle? 🍑

They’re actually made up of three muscles, gluteus maximus, medius and minimus, each helping with hip movement, stability, balance and supporting the pelvis as you move.

So when we say “activate your glutes”… there’s a little more going on back there than you might think!

Dynamic Pelvic Tilts, moving the pelvis smoothly between anterior and posterior tilts to identify imbalances, while seated and all fours

Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge), Instead of simply sinking into the hips, draw your right outer hip back and inward.

Utkatasana (Chair Pose), bend your knees and sink your hips back as if sitting in a chair, keep your knees tracking directly over your second toes. Draw the outer hips inward to activate your lateral glutes, but imagine a block between your upper thighs that you are gently pushing apart to keep the inner thighs widening

Sometimes we create space not by letting go, but by finding something steady to press into.

I love teaching all three styles of yoga I offer at YogaNess. BUT if I had to choose just one… Yin it is. 🤍

There’s a gravitational pull to a practice that asks me to drop in and be still. To feel the weight of my body settling into the mat, the first tug of a stretch, the places that soften as my breath slows.

And then there’s the ebb and flow of sensation. A gentle ache might grow, fade, or move somewhere unexpected. My body shifts in its own time, without me having to chase a deeper shape.

Some days the stillness feels comforting. Other days I notice how restless I am, how much I want to move on. Yin gives me room for all of it.

I think that’s why I keep coming back. For those quiet moments when I stop trying to make my body feel a certain way and simply listen.

“Underneath overthinking, there is often a fear asking to be understood.”

So much of our mental energy can be spent analysing, predicting, replaying conversations, planning outcomes, and trying to make sense of what feels uncertain. Often, beneath all of that thinking is something much simpler, a longing to feel safe, seen, understood, accepted, or loved.

In yoga, we are invited to step out of the constant activity of the mind and into the wisdom of the body. The body lives in the present moment. It doesn’t replay yesterday or rehearse tomorrow. Through breath, movement, and stillness, we create space to listen to what sits underneath the noise.

Today is an invitation to soften the grip of overthinking. To become curious about what lies beneath it. Not to fix or solve anything, but simply to witness. To allow yourself to be exactly as you are in this moment.

A gentle class designed to slow you down, soften the body and quiet the mind.

Move through simple, mindful sequences at an unhurried pace, using the breath to guide your movement and bring you back into your body. We’ll gradually ease towards stillness before settling into a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra.

You don’t need to be flexible or experienced. This is an invitation to simply arrive as you are.

You’ll leave feeling softer, calmer and more grounded — with a quieter mind, a more settled nervous system and a renewed sense of space within yourself

Gentle Flow, every Wednesday at 5.30pm

With so much of our space taken up with life, yin has a way of expanding space back into the unseen spaces of the body and deep recesses of the mind. It gives back more than the hour you dedicate to it.

You will leave feeling calmer, clearer, more capable of meeting the challenges of your week, with lower stress levels and a greater sense of ease in your everyday life.

Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is simply be still.

Purna isn’t just a yoga class.
It’s how you’ll feel when you leave.

More at ease in your body.
Less caught up in your mind.

You’ll move with intention, not urgency.
Learn why your body moves the way it does.
Discover where you’re holding tension and how to soften it.

You’ll feel supported, not pushed.
Challenged, but never overwhelmed.

With a blend of alignment, anatomy and meaningful themes, Purna invites you to become more aware of yourself, physically, mentally and energetically.

You may arrive carrying the weight of your week.

But you’ll leave feeling a little lighter.
A little clearer.
A little more connected.

Connected to your breath.
Connected to your body.
Connected to yourself
