October..
We are working on variations of Locust (salabhasana) this month, a posture that relies entirely on core & back muscles.. strengthens the entire back chain, improving overall body alignment.. no leverage, no flexibility… a posture you can’t cheat to make look pretty … a pure expression of tapas, teaching the mind to remain perfectly calm & centred in the midst of the discomfort..

Still fluffy cloud & rainbow season out there & it’s getting darker so quickly
Dudley is a cloud checking in on Mavis

Last class for September…. it is time to reset refocus & rise..
Personally I feel like I’ve been practicing Pratyahara (withdrawal & turning inwards) for such a long time… as I’ve been relearning to navigate my posture & my mind yet again..

Kat really is such a welcome addition to the space & has been with us for 3 months now

The crazy sunset the night before the full moon
& Miss Mavis has been with us for a year

Turning the body upside down allows you to access your own pharmaceutical laboratory by directly stimulating the bodies master glands …. thyroid/pineal/pituitary, you release natural occurring chemicals.. inversions are the safest & most powerful way to balance the endocrine system…. this is why yogis who practice them retain a youthful glow

Autumn is in full effect.. seems to be rainbow season.. with awesome clouds, darker skies

Mavis earning her keep hoovering up dropped Rachel Bright cake crumbs, 🍐 & 🫚 gorgeous as always… 🤔 last week she had a baking rival who baked rather lovely sausage rolls…

Things that still make me smile.. cutting a pepper in half how they rarrrrrr at you

Thursday already
Revolved Triangle Pose this month (Parivrtta Trikonasana) a challenging standing yoga posture that combines a forward bend, a deep spinal twist, and lateral stability.
Works the hips, legs, neck, shoulders & spine..
(Tuesday & Wednesday class)

Mavis getting braver all the time (see the tortoise 🐢) & thankfully she still loves the rain.. yet enjoying the last of the summer sun.
The Buddha that used to sit outside the old yoga space & the big ‘love’ light are now on our back garden, most of our spare time over summer has been spent literally turning our house upside down & just embracing what is on our doorstep where we live.

Year 2 in the new space has begun
