Fab article on a fantastic teacher from a wonderful studio that I visit not nearly enough (about once every four years or so!).

LAST CALL: Into the Upside-Down 🙃

Headstand can feel like a big leap.

Challenging. Frustrating. Sometimes intimidating.

This Saturday, we’re slowing it down.

In this focused 2.5-hour workshop, we’ll take a logical and pragmatic approach to Salamba Sirsasana — exploring the principles and purpose of the pose, and moving through a thoughtfully designed flow to help you build:

• stability
• engagement
• balance
• confidence

The aim isn’t just to “get up” — but to understand what you’re doing and move toward a safe, steady headstand with clarity.

📍 Saturday 7 March
⏰ 10am–12.30pm

If headstand has been on your mind, this is for you.

Such a fab day. Thanks to all who came along to raise funds for SAMH. And huge thanks to Nicole and Kat, of course (and to Nicole’s mum and mum-in-law for the baking)!

Winter isn’t just for quiet reflection – it’s also a time to celebrate, move and share joy!

At MCY our winter festival has something for every kind of celebration. Festive Flow with Matt, Kat & Nicole invites playful, energising movement in support of a great cause. Our final Ashtanga Led Primary of 2025 is our chance to mark the year together, and of course there’s my legendary chai to share afterward. For something slower and still deeply nourishing, Ema’s Winter Solstice Yin-Vin will help you move mindfully into the longest night of the year and her Winter Holiday Kīrtan lifts your voices in song for MILK Glasgow.

Every class, every workshop, every gathering is an invitation – to move, to connect, to play and to celebrate the season with the MCY community. There’s joy in shared breath, in music, in laughter, in the simple act of being together.

We’ll love to see you in whichever way feels right for you – whether that’s moving, resting, singing or simply soaking up the warmth of our winter community.

Highlights coming up:

⭐ Festive Flow for SAMH w/ Matt, Kat & Nicole - Sat 13 Dec

⭐ Candlelit Meditation & Yoga Nidra - Sun 14 Dec

⭐ 108 Sun Salutations for Yogability – Sat 20 Dec

Had the most amazing time practising with and learning from Lucy Crawford at MCY this weekend. She offers incredible anatomical and energetic insights into yoga, and has a unique, bodywork-informed approach to adjustments. Always inspiring and illuminating.

Thanks so much to Judi for hosting, and to Lucy for sharing her knowledge and twisting me into various pretzel formations.

Already looking forward to next year!

The one, the only Yoga Rose!
