🐍 SPOTLIGHT: Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)

Cobra Pose is like a deep breath for your spine.
It’s powerful and it’s all about lifting your heart, both physically and emotionally.

What it supports:

Gently strengthening the back and spine
Opening the chest and shoulders
Improving posture and breathing
Releasing tension after a day of hunching!

It’s not about how high you lift, it’s how you feel doing it.
Soft elbows, relaxed face, strong foundation.
Let it be nourishing, not pushy.

Perfect for slow flows, morning stretches, or just reconnecting with your breath.

Always check whether a pose is safe for you personally and never push yourself further than is comfortable.

🧘 Think you can’t do yoga? Think again. 💚
If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m not flexible enough”
“I’m too stiff / too busy / too tired”
“Yoga isn’t for people like me”
You’re exactly who we had in mind.
Yoga at YogaBird isn’t about fancy poses or doing things perfectly.
It’s about moving in a way that feels good for you.
Taking a breath.
Loosening off.
Giving your body and mind a bit of kindness.
You don’t need to be bendy.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
You just need to turn up.
Come as you are.
We’ll meet you there 💚

🧘 So… what can yoga actually do for you?

You’ll often hear people say that Yoga is good for you.

But what does that really look like in real life?

For a lot of people, it’s things like:

feeling less tense in your body

sleeping a bit better

breathing more easily

your head feeling a little quieter

Yoga isn’t about perfect poses or being bendy.
It’s about making space.
In your body. In your mind. In your week.

Even one class can help you feel more grounded, a bit lighter, and more like yourself again.

No pressure. No judgement.
Just gentle movement, breathing, and time for you.
Come as you are 💚

Hi! I am Kerrie and I teach the Tuesday and Thursday classes.
I absolutely love being by water. Coastal walks, lakes, anywhere I can breathe a bit deeper and let my thoughts settle.
For me, allowing my body to move and gently strengthen helps clear my head and, over time, helps prevent injury too.
That’s been my experience of Yoga, nothing official, just what I’ve noticed in my own body.

🐾 POSE SPOTLIGHT: Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Downward Dog might just be the most famous yoga pose and for good reason.
It’s grounding, energising, and gives your whole body a gentle wake up call.

You don’t need to be 'flexible enough' to do this pose, your heels don’t need to touch the floor, and your legs don’t need to be straight. It’s all about what feels good in your body.

What it supports:
Lengthening the spine and easing out the back
Stretching calves, hamstrings, and shoulders
Gently building strength in the arms and core
Calming the nervous system with inverted stillness

We love this pose because it can be both restorative and strengthening. It meets you where you are whether you're moving slow or flowing strong.

Bend your knees. Wiggle your hips. Find your version.
Because your yoga is yours.

Yoga should be about how it feels, not how it looks.
Some days it’s strong. Some days it’s wobbly. Some days it’s basically lying on a mat and breathing like a functional human. All of it counts.
If you’ve been putting yoga in the not for me box because you’re not bendy / confident / coordinated… we’re here to gently prove you wrong 💛

🧘‍♀️ Yoga for Every Body 🧘‍♂️

Think yoga’s only for the super bendy, super calm, or super experienced?
Think again.

At Yoga Bird, we believe yoga is for every body—every shape, every age, every ability, and every level of experience.

You don’t need to touch your toes.
You don’t need fancy leggings.
You don’t even need to know what a downward dog is!

Just bring yourself - exactly as you are.
We’ll guide you gently, support you fully, and help you feel stronger, calmer, and more connected… one breath at a time.

Come as you are. Yoga will meet you there
Everyone is welcome. Always.

🧘 Yoga isn’t just about poses… it’s about how you feel before, during AND afterwards 💚
Yoga isn’t about getting a pose 'right'. It’s about how you feel when you leave the room.
That moment when your shoulders drop. When your breathing feels a bit easier. When your head is quieter than it was an hour ago.
We’re not bothered about perfect shapes or fancy balance. We care that you leave feeling a little more like yourself.
Come as you are.
Stiff, tired, stressed, curious… all welcome here.
Yoga that meets you where you are, not where you think you should be.

Thank you Julie 🙏
