Cath Barnes-Holt Iyengar Yoga and Acupuncture

If you’ve ever been to one of Bobby’s workshops, or even just had a conversation with her, you’ll know that she was one of the kindest, caring, engaging, most generous Iyengar yoga teachers of this era. Such an inspiration to everyone she taught. Her knowledge and dedication to the practice of Iyengar yoga was immense, and her enormous contribution to the practice of yoga for women will live on forever in her esteemed books.
Rest in peace now Bobby, you will be missed by us all 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I love that Nigella Lawson practises Iyengar yoga 🤸🏼‍♂️😊

“I do yoga three times a week”Nigella told Good Housekeeping.

“I have to do something I enjoy, otherwise I wouldn’t do it. The older I get, the more I realise I’ve got to do lots of stretching. So even if I’m not doing yoga, I make myself do lots of stretching.”

For her, fitness is as much about overall well-being as it is about physical results. “As you get on in life, you value feeling well as opposed to looking well” she said. “Yoga certainly makes you feel great, and you want to carry on feeling great”

You can’t argue with that!!

Winter Solstice
In practice, as in nature, change begins subtly.
Today marks a turning from darkness toward light. The shortest day and longest night mark a natural pause.

A time to turn inward, attend carefully, and allow space for renewal as the light slowly returns.

Remembering BKS Iyengar today on his birth anniversary, with much gratitude for his teaching 🙏🏽

“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom. And no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be”
BKS Iyengar 14 Dec 1918 - 20 August 2014
