Yoga In Manchester

Hi everyone, I would love it if you had time to read the latest Manchester and District Iyengar Yoga newsletter. There's so much happening at MDIY. Don't miss it and also I think you have many talents to share....

You asked.... Feedback Responses, Open Day And More It's not often we say we hope you're keeping cool. What a Bank Holiday weekend! It's as bright as our refurbished garden furniture!

It's taken me ages to post some photos as I've been trying to find the words for our holiday. We've had such a good time again. You think it can't get any better but every year we have such a fabulous time. Partly due to the great team we have in Turkey facilitating our holiday but always down to the fantastic group who come along to such an amazing place. Amazing people, amazing Dalyan, amazing team. It's always going to be fabulous. I'm very grateful! 🙏🏻

Do you think Bella is pleased I'm home? 😀

Dora the 16 year old yoga cat. She's sticking to a sunny corner now quietly observing the class rather than joining in. I feel like she's warming her older bones in more recuperative posture.

Sunrise yoga this morning in Dalyan. First yoga holiday of the year. 🕉️🇹🇷🧘🏻‍♀️
(p.s. only me for the sunrise 😜)

For a few weeks I've been working on neck and shoulders trying to help stressed out students. I also teach a class at 530pm where people are often dashing from laptops to yoga mats. So here's something for you. I added a few extras in like using the pads for headstand facing them and doing a second sirsasana and doing eka pada with the toes coming down to the pads without knocking them over. Developing a light touch. Enjoy!

I'm delighted that both me and Nicky Wright are now sharing the Friday pranayama sessions. We're both level 3 teachers, both with a keen interest in pranayama and we both work together mentoring trainee teachers. Our shared Fridays are going to be a wonderful collaboration and I hope it helps our little pranayama community grow.
