Yoga Bodhi

This is high summer in all its glory. Elicit a feeling of ease, as you attune to the change of routine and the shift in rhythm. Give yourself permission in these hazy, lazy days to find some quiet.

We are here when you need that time to yourself. When you need to bathe in the expansive quality of the season, roll out a mat, watch the sky through the skylights, feel the breeze of the fans and breathe a little deeper.

Rest is not idleness
Nor is it simply stillness
Move your body
Give the present your attention
Find quiet

Through July and August there are some adjustments to the timetable as we take holidays too. Keep@up to date with classes on our website or Mindbody app.

Monthly class are 90 minutes to step away from life off your mat, a treat in busy lives.

* This Sunday- Qi Gong Flow with Ali *

Incorporating elements of Qi Gong and Daoist philosophy it has its roots in traditional Chinese practices. Expect stretches, breathwork, meditation and flowing movement to open the body’s meridians (energy pathways), cultivating an enhanced flow of qi and a deeper connection between body, breath and mind.

This beautiful practice in the morning is perfect 🧡

It is Summer.

Marked at the weekend by the Solstice, the peak of light on the longest day where for one breath the sun stands still. Now is the crescendo of warmth and outward energy before the gradual shift and softening to return inwards. Take a moment to remember we are all lit by the same sun and the light in each of us shines out to honour each other.

At the studio it is more stretch, less sweat. The fans are on and the windows are open, ditch the leggings and wear the shorts and don’t forget your water bottle lovely people.

We are constantly bombarded with new health advice one day something is essential, the next discouraged, it is confusing. Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science, is age old and time tested. It considers the wellbeing of the whole person, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, offering practical ways to maintain health and restore balance

Discover more this weekend at the studio with wonderful Jo Webber .forage.grow when she will be imparting her wisdom on Ayurveda, yoga self practice and practical tools to support you.

Ayurveda’s Timeless Wisdom
Saturday 6-8pm

Move better, feel better

Nature doesn’t move in straight lines.
She spirals.
She circles.
She waves.
She rises.
She rests.
She returns.
So what if you stopped holding yourself to a standard the earth doesn’t follow?

Join Holly this Sunday morning, expect her usual approach to listening to your body and mindful movement as she helps you to understand your spine.

‘Movement is magic and we all deserve magic in our lives’

Shakti, the subtle power that evolves our awareness from within. This energy is often described in the form of the Goddess. She has many faces and many facets. You might realise the Goddess as an inner force, as a pulsation of energy in your body, as a quality of aliveness in your breath, as an inner river that flows through your thoughts or as a subtle seeing behind all your experiences. You may notice her in nature, weather patterns, the play of light on water or in the moods of the ocean.

Join Bridget for a morning of Anusara yoga to honour the divine feminine, but also the women that have supported and inspired us in our lives

Bridget will teach a Shakti Flow practice of asana, meditation and breath work weaving in 3 Goddesses
Durga - The protectress.
Lakshmi - Goddess of abundance.
Chinnamasta - Goddess of radical self transcendence.
