Yoga Now with Agnes

New Zoom Yoga Class: Morning Yoga with Agnes.

🌱

I am keen to offer a Zoom yoga class 🧘 on Thursday mornings, 10 -11. The class is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners - with lasting benefits on and off the mat as a result of a consistent attendance.

♥️ EVERYONE IS WELCOME ♥️

In this class you will be able to progress your yoga practice through developing a solid knowledge and understanding of asanas (the postures): how to do them, how to place your body, to breathe and how to move in and out of them. You will develop your balance, your breathing practice and be able to allow your mind to quieten.

Your strength, reach and flexibility will benefit through using your body as resistance, developing a true strength and a flexibility which will allow you to continue to move as you did in younger years, or to simply move more fluidly and with improved mobility.

Best of all, 🌟 you will experience a guided relaxation and breathing practice at the end of each class which will allow you gain maximum benefit from your practice each time. The breathing practice will be something you can use time and again off the mat to enable you to maintain calmness and stillness at all times 🌟

Each Zoom class, done in the comfort of your own home cost £6 ✨ only with a recording of the class included too.

If you want to get your flexibility, strength, mobility, a quieter mind along with a healthy posture - you can do it 🙏

Please message me or leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Thinking about tomorrow's Zoom Yoga Now with Agnes class.

Theme: Noticing - noticing what sensations are happening as you move in your practice.
Noticing Off the Mat - noticing a sense of ease in moving: walking becomes a whole body movement. You may begin to notice a spaciousness in your shoulders, in your pelvis, in your knees. You may notice ease in your lumbar or lower back. Movement of the arms, torso, legs may feel more connected. All this comes from the feet.

Have you ever asked yourself why you do yoga, why you keep practising yoga?

A consistent and regular yoga practice becomes an integral part of our life for reasons we can notice and, for reasons we may only notice over time, on reflection or intuitively.

At the end of a yoga class we may feel gently energised, well-rested, a quiet mind and that all is well. Movement, breathing and mind-body connection conspire throughout our practice to bring these changes. As we bring the mind to each movement, we can become more aware of the effort we create - perhaps we notice our breath is strained or have held our breath. Here, we can let go of that effort - a little or a lot - to reach a place where that movement goes towards 'effortless effort', softening and a sense of ease.

This slowing down brings a wealth of benefits - our bodies begin to lose that 'held' sensation also perhaps, ‘un-noticed’ tension, stress and fatigue. We begin to move in slightly different, more useful, less effortful ways as our habitual patterns of holding our bodies, our habitual patterns of holding, storing tensions, our habitual patterns of holding, storing stress are released through movement patterns of ease, movement patterns of smoothness, movement patterns fluid, relaxed and natural. Overtime, we can, effortlessly, return to the freedom and range of movement we may remember from childhood where balance, fluidity and natural motion marked our every move.

One quick check to notice unnecessary tension: observe as a child walks - the knee never fully straightens, a micro-bend can easily be noticed. Observe our own walking patterns, or those of other adults, notice how the knee moves. Perhaps the absence of a micro-bend in our gait will inspire us to practice yoga to release tension, stiffness and limited range of movement as our yoga practice becomes consistent and regular.

Walk Through The Door

Put everything down.
Walk through the door
Pause, listen,
Stillness.
Walk through the woods
On lost leaves, needles, cones
Yesterday’s necessary, today’s silence
Tomorrow’s vigour

Winter storms
Limbs lost
Trees felled,
Silent space.
Unknown, the tree that will fall.
Unknown, the shallowness of roots.
Unknown, the moment’s lost hold.

Continuous change
Observe.
Pause.
Consider.
Embrace space
Embrace momentum
Embrace change.

Walk anew
Through change
Through the woods
Through the door.

Re-noticing ourselves

Yoga practice can allow us to reconnect our minds to our bodies and to our breath.

We lead busy lives.
We are distracted and can feel the need to be everything to everyone every day.
Our breath may become held, shallow, jagged.
Our mind too preoccupied to be still.
Our muscle tense as we hold worry, fear and uncertainty in our bodies.

This becomes habit.
This becomes routine.
This becomes who we are.

Tense, tightly-wound, anxious, exhausted.

Learning, or, re-learning to pay attention to information from our senses can help us regain equilibrium, peace, calm and space.

Of the eight senses, sight, sound, touch, balance, proprioception (awareness of our bodies through movement and in space) and interoception (sensing what is happening on the inside), play important parts in connecting our mind, body and breath again.

Notice the tension in your muscles as you grasp or strive in asana practice, in life; your breath is held or gasps, your mind is filled with your ‘to do’ list, events earlier in the day or problems.

Yoga practice renews your innate vitality.
Yoga guides your mind into the present moment.
Yoga invites you to let go.
Yoga invites you to soften
Yoga invites you to relax your body.
Yoga invites you to create space
Yoga invites you to allow the breath to nourish and restore you.

All are welcome to join either of my classes.
Please connect with me.
