Yoga Pixie

Join me tomorrow (Monday!) for the final Clayton Community Centre yoga session, an hour long class starting at 1.15pm. This is a free yoga class for the local community. Mats are provided, but feel free to bring your own if you want to. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you freedom of movement.

Suitable for adults of all ages, body types, size and gender. Guidance is provided through each class, in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Beginners and experienced students are welcome. Suitable for all levels of flexibility, whether you consider yourself stiff, hyper-mobile or anywhere in between.

Inviting you to connect with your body and explore your mobility, using low impact, gentle movements and a relaxed breath, Yoga can help you to ease tension in your body, promote a healthy range of motion in your joints and bring you back towards balance. This experience can be translated throughout your day to day life.

I'm a tree! We like to have fun doing family yoga at home, but we love to lark around in trees when the weather is fine 🌳☀️🧘‍♀️ If you are local to Spring Wood in Whalley you must go and see the carpets of bluebells, the smell and sight is divine 🪻💙

I love a good visualization! Here is a heart shape fern I spotted today during my walk in the woods, brimming with potential. Thinking about a curled up fern frond slowly unfurling is one of my favourite visualisations when we practice our spinal roll ups in class. Slow, sensitive, grounded movements. Spring is a magical time for moving more, opening up and exploring our range of movement to greet the returning sun!

Here's the class times and locations for today 🙏🧘‍♀️ Spring is unfurling around us, here are some blooms from my Grandma's garden. Let's see if we can start to move our bodies a bit more too in a nourishing and sensitive way and enjoy our time together on the mat 💚

I talk about how children move in class often. Sometimes with jealousy but mostly with awe, because they are such a pure connection to how amazing the movement potential of the human body is. In one class last week we chatted about the biomechanics of walking. I find these things really interesting and will happily movement nerd-out at the drop of a hat! The point we were discussing though was how we can use the simple movements of yoga to peel back the layers of conditioning and daily habits to bring our attention to the subtle things happening in our bodies that affect our function. We begin to appreciate the body for what it can do. Sometimes when we shine a light on something we get a lightbulb moment! That subtle awareness can then be integrated into our lives. Perhaps it'll feel really obvious when you put the pieces together. Perhaps on a physical level, perhaps on an emotional level. Perhaps it'll p**s you off for a while! Perhaps it'll become part of a larger understanding over time. The more we move and practice yoga in a sensible and integrated way, the more we remember who we are.

"For clearly, now, Yama means Love. As love has five principal modes of activity: sensitivity (ahimsa), honesty (satya), openness (asteya), intimacy (brahmacharya), inclusivity (aparigraha) and the more these qualities express themselves the more you experience integrity (sauca), equanimity (samtosa), enthusiasm (tapas), self awareness (svadhyaya)and surrender (ishvarapranidanah)."
- Godfrey Devereux, The Yoga Sutras

"Finding yourself is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you."
- Emily McDowell

"If you want to care for life, look within, to its roots. Let these roots nourish, inform and guide you. Intellectual analysis is not enough. The “road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Become intimate with your own presence. Feel the sensations that it generates. Follow the subtle, into the delight. Then you might become the love that you most deeply are. The love that life most deeply needs."
-Godfrey Devereux

Spring is on it's way! How does it feel in your body? 🌱☀️🌧️🪻🌷
