September is such a wonderful month to embrace change. It often feels like a new year after Summer. It will always be linked with school for me. My new pencil case, rucksack, uniform which I now see my daughter excited about. It’s also a great time to set an intention or a goal as we move towards the close of the calendar year. I know I have a couple of projects to complete before xmas (did I just say that?). What are yours?

Half Moon pose or Ardha Chandrasana is a real challenge... especially on grass and against a phone camera timer! This pose took me a number of years to 'master' by which I mean able to hold something that looks similar to the masters themselves. The key is the strength of the standing leg (straight & strong without locking the knee out) and then using the breath to calm the mind enough to gaze upwards whilst opening the chest by easing the top shoulder back. Lifting the top arm helps to create lift in the pose (although the top hand should be in line with the bottom one unlike mine here 😄). Once you're there it feels joyous and uplifting with the benefit of strengthening your bottom, thighs, ankles and back. This will feature in my class tonight HIIT to hatha @ 7.30pm via zoom... hopefully with more finesse 😊 We will be prepping the legs with some HIIT strengthening exercises, along with some appropriate stretches for the hamstrings and hips. Plus we will be practicing deep yoga breathing to bring together the breath and asana. Message me for details 👌🙏💙

Something for the weekend... if you're going for a run, cycling, walking or just need to stretch after a long stint at the desk this week try this variation of a low lunge (anjaneyasana). Leaning over to the leading leg side really extends the hip getting deeper into the hip flexor for a satisfying release. Arms can be wider to accommodate the shoulders as necessary 🧡☀️🤍
Spending more time at a desk, computer, or just sitting more after the holidays? Tension building in the neck, shoulders, back? Try these exercises throughout the day for some relief.... you don't even have to get up off your chair to give yourself a little self care! 🧡🙏

Just doing a square breathing practice with our new kitten Nala. Animals always seem to be attracted to a yoga mat. They might just like the feel of it, or it might just be because you're on it. But I like to think, well I believe actually, that the calm you bring onto the mat is what attracts them. Yoga has been shown at a cellular level to reduce stress and boost our immune system... among many other benefits. At this time of year I can't think of anything more important to take some time to breath and stretch and take our state into a more cat like one. Our immune system is my focus for class tonight. Message me if you would like to join via zoom. 7.30pm. 60mins with a delightful savasana for the soul 🙏😊❤ sytem reduction

Ahhh Sunday... It's not all work, work, work. If you're thinking "great, but I need to get back on track tomorrow!" my Monday class is a great all over workout blending HIIT & yoga in a flowing practice, building strength and stamina with balancing stretches... BUT we always end with a 10 minute savasana with guided relaxations, visualisations, or the opportunity to meditate. Join me and some wonderful others at 7.30pm GMT via zoom. Message me for more details 💙🙏

This week my focus has been on the solar plexus, stimulating our power centre to help us take control of our drive, strength and energy. Ardha Matsyendrasana is a beautiful pose to expand and release this central abdominal region, lengthening the spine and encouraging blood flow to the digestive system. I also love how I get a stretch in the outer part of my glute. As a runner it is always very welcome. If you can't plant both sit bones in this position extend the lower leg out straight and only go as far as you can keeping the back poker straight. Then close your eyes and enjoy 😌💛🙏

My focus this week has been hips and the second chakra, svadhisthana. Pelvic alignment has a huge impact on the rest of the body so storing tension around the hips, glutes and pelvis is not only painful, but also may be having an affect on your movement and posture. It also feels good to release these areas. Negative emotions can manifest themselves as tension here and letting go of this can feel extremely powerful and therapeutic. Try this twisted runners lunge (keeping back knee up or down... more lizard/dragon like) particularly after a long day at the desk, running/cycling etc. It really is therapy for the hips!
It's September, schools are back in action and I know many of us want to get back into a routine. After a rather slothful summer I've never craved exercise so much! To power up my much loved (and needed!) yoga sessions I love throwing in some HIIT moves into my sun salutations. Here I add wide mountain climbers at the plank stage. Remember to engage your core fully, drag the shoulder blades down the body and take knee towards upper arm....not vice versa! A few rounds of these will have you working up a sweat in no time, give your core a serious workout, and still provide a stretch into loads of areas of the body. This is my HIIT to hatha style. Join me and some wonderful others in my Monday evening class via zoom. 7.30pm. Message me for details and add us to your new routine 💜🙏
