YOGA WITH A VIEW

Being in the Italian mountains is good enough in itself. But moving, breathing and relaxing with friends with this view? That just takes it to a whole new level.

Take some time out for yourself this June. Deets in our bio 😊

I just thought I'd post a little reminder today to not be so hard on yourself. You're just a human being, doing the best you can.

As if a global pandemic wasn't enough, we're now witnessing the devastating news of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, amongst the many continuing wars across the globe. News like this can make us feel unsafe, fearful, anxious and helpless.

Along with those feelings can come guilt ('thank God it's not me'), confusion ('what can I really do?') and disappointment ('why am I not doing more?')

I often reflect on this myself - what am I doing and why does my own self-care practice even matter when things like this are going on? It seems insignificant, futile and downright ridiculous at points.

But, of course, there is a reason for self-care, and holy moly there's a whole world of science behind it. So I can tell you this now, self-care is definitely the right place to start. Because the healthier and more stable you are, the more support you can be not only for yourself, but for your parents, your children, your siblings and your friends, for other people, and those other people can then be the support for more people, and like a constant drip it can eventually make it's way to creating the help that is needed, building resilience throughout your community. We most definitely cannot fight all the fights alone. And we definitely can't do it if we're burnt out.

I know self-care is a buzz word and you may have just rolled your eyes at it, but I'm not saying you have to practice yoga every day, or meditate every morning, or spend time every evening writing down things you're grateful for. Truly practicing self-care means taking your time, not being so hard on yourself, accepting who you are (and therefore who other people are) and giving yourself some breathing space. In time, this practice will boost your morale, increase your productivity and will give you the strength to help others.

So take a moment. Realise you are one human. And remind yourself you're doing the best you can. Keep on keeping on, and give yourself the time out you need to make your world feel more secure. However that might be.

FOOOOD | You’ll never go hungry on retreat with us… And since we’ll be in Italy, why not try making some of your own pasta?

How. Sweet. Are. These. Rooms. And. Those. Views?

This place is really one of a kind - nestled high up in the Casentino Hills, in the abandoned Gello valley. With views over the valley below, you'll have the opportunity to experience a true and traditional taste of Tuscan life without sacrificing on luxury. Immersed in nature, and swept up in local culture, food, and family.

LESS IS MORE | This evening I almost travelled back in time. The fact that The Yoga Room is no longer a yoga studio is bitter sweet. The sweetness is that this evening I felt like I did when I began this journey 5 years ago. It was just me, in a space, with some people who wanted to practice yoga. Just me and them. For the first time in ages I just felt like a teacher again, instead of a yoga studio owner, that weight has been lifted. Tonight I felt like I could give my students all of my energy, and I felt light and magical. And it just brings me back to what I bloody preach in my classes over and over again - less is more, there is beauty in simplicity. And we shouldn’t always be striving and constantly pushing to achieve and ‘be better’. Because sometimes where you are is just right for you and it’s good enough. It’s good enough.

Who doesn’t dream of exploring a tiny Tuscan village and the surrounding countryside, sampling magnificent feasts prepared from locally grown produce? Swimming and sunbathing next to a tranquil hillside pool at your luxurious boutique accommodation while staring down over enchanting scenery of hills, groves and a meandering river. Throw in some energising and healing yoga classes and workshops, massages, naps, country walks, picnics, wine tasting and you have the perfect restorative escape. Sound like heaven? 😍😍

‘Join me for an accessible yoga class that doesn't break the bank and offers a gentle flow into the week. Each Monday I am hosting Aroma Flow, 12:30-1:15pm in-studio and online at The Yogaroom Deptford with sliding scale payments. We will target specific areas of the body in each class and paired with essential oils, our key focus is to ease into the week and find space in our mind and body’ - Evie

‘My classes are a mix of movement and mindfulness with a deeper focus on how yoga, movement and meditation can make a huge difference to your life.

I've fallen head over heels for the wellness industry and the difference movement and meditation can make in a person's life. It's such an important part of maintaining a healthy body and mind and an integral part of creating a stronger and safer lifestyle, especially needed following the aftermath of the pandemic.

I love people. I enjoy making a difference. I am happiest when I know I'm benefitting a person's day to day existence. This could be through a yoga class, a meditation session, an event or retreat. There are so many ways to reach people and help be the catalyst for change and the relief from anxiety, pain and/or depression’. - Angie
