Autumn equinox is here, when the length of day equals the length of night

Sama = Equal

However the temperature today is astonishingly hot,

I’m trying to enjoy, even, embrace it - but it’s distinctly unnerving

Why do we practice yoga?

Because of the level of climate anxiety and existential crisis that our systems are feeling.. whether your aware of it or not

Has the potential to make us ill,

Ill at ease

Our nervous systems are inundated with the demand, the metaphorical tigers 🐅 leading to tension + fight or flight

Our collective consciousness feels the strain

So much of this work is to sit with the discomfort

Sit with the uncertainty of impermanence

The uncertainty around the future and our mortality is at the heart of any Buddhist teaching, and at the heart of yoga

We so often live our lives taking for granted that these material things around us are permanent. They are not.

And this heat… it’s a reminder

Can you sit with the duality of crisis + ease

Acceptance + refusal to neglect your role

Like monks sat as they immolated themselves seemingly undisturbed by the fire 🔥 in protest

Saturday outside Café & Gardens for a chai after class _the_breathing_space_

Today we explored elimination via apana vayu, next week assimilation via samana

Come drop-in + join this small group practice

Every Tuesday 9:30-10:45am

Bodies of water

Yesterday ~ testing the river cam for nitrates/phosphates

Dead man’s corner, a swim spot that certainly I’ve swam at/in for the previous 6 years.. maybe longer.. as have my kids Avaaz | The World in Action

And having myself a wee evening dunk/swim in another body of water ~ absolute bliss

The marker for me, when I get in cold water is the ‘fresh eyes effect’ (coined by me 😆but I’m sure noticed by many) and indeed it’s beginning to get cool enough to have that experience albeit in a less intense way!

That feeling post entering cold water, which reminds you what it is to feel alive ✨

Cold water truly is, natures medicine

Sooo looking forward to welcoming 8 gorgeous familiar faces to the mini retreat at Dunwich beach next Saturday SOMATIC SEA SAUNA

These opportunities to adventure to the North Sea for cold dunk/sauna & yoga on the beach run seasonally!

Which means the next one MAY be in deep Winter ❄️

I’d like to extend this to a longer length retreat - let me know if this would be something you’d be interested in!

Intention setting with the full moon 🌕 coming up soon..

A beloved space

Every Sunday since around the emergence from Covid time (2021?) I have taught this very personal class

Mindfulness & Hatha Flow

(Taking yoga to church)

Here, in Chesterton, Cambridge

I was honoured to be invited to teach this class by Chiraswa + as a mum of 3 it was a great time to get out at the weekend 😜 offering something that I love

We started in the upstairs studio, then moved downstairs and then upstairs and are now downstairs once again

This is over 5/6 years! It’s a long standing + well loved session enjoyed by some long standing practitioners, visitors to Cambridge and their friends + newbies trying out different ‘ways in’ to yoga

These sessions are inclusive (although not chair based) + all about interoception, + proprioception.

It’s an advance way to practice, when the mind - breath is dancing around the place, distracted + potentially quite fractured

These sessions are therapeutically inclined

In alignment with my Yoga Therapy training, although I was teaching in this way prior ~ it’s an amalgamation of all the practice + training I have explored over the decades

‘Your body is a laboratory’

+ here you are invited to play with curiousity

Expect trauma-informed practices including invitational language, options.. and space for you to explore your mind/body

Mindfulness is the key, as is the ‘last’ 3 limbs of Yoga; Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi

Concentration • Absorption • Meditation

This is an accessible movement based practice to cultivate a stilling of the mind

‘Yogas citta Vritti nirodha’

🍁 Please come join me every Sunday over Autumn term for this beautifully grounding practice 🍁

Sustenance this week!

Golden milk…

My youngest and I have been making this together in the evening

In previous years I always used to make it just with turmeric

This year we are adding cardamom pods, crushed in a pestle + mortar

Cinnamon..

+ Local honey

It’s turning into a cosy ritual between the 2 of us

He equates it to being like hot chocolate but better 🙌

I agree wholeheartedly

This is imperative + a book to read to slow everything down!

The next 6 weeks are pretty full on with the offering of YT sessions for my course ~ with supervision, something that was been 2.5 years of being in process/training for

Trying to create as many opportunities to pause + embed rest where I can

Setting up for RESET this morning

Wednesday + Friday sessions are small, intimate spaces for you to practice

Sessions are slow + methodical

Based around nervous system regulation, grounding, mobilisation, proprioception, interoception, vagal stimulation, strength, stability & ease

Inspiration from Feldenkrais, Rolfing, Cranial Sacral therapy…

We create a baseline first and then build, explore + challenge

Yogic philosophy + mindfulness is woven in, sessions are imbued with an authenticity, from a life long process of learning + curiosity about agency, movement, self determination + consciousness

With student graduate of yoga therapy + yoga teacher with 8 years experience of facilitating yoga in a diverse range of settings, Katherine

On Tuesday morning, you’ll find me here

I thought it was a socks-on kinda morning

But alas I think it’s actually socks + sweatshirt off kinda day!

I get here very early so the space is set for me + you + everyone else we know Miranda July

It was so muggy last night for the EMBODIED Vayu’s to begin

Term has finally arrived

Come meet me at The Breathing Space for all things Yoking

This Friday, there is space for you at RESET in my nest in CB23

There’s still time to book!

Looking forward to welcoming a cosy group of 8x for this Autumn term series around the Vayu’s

The ‘internal winds’ in Yoga

Starting today with directing or circulating prana..

The vital energy within our systems

Prana could essentially be equated to the mitochondria or ATP within our cells

Yoga is fundamentally about building energy within our systems

Many of us are feeling a wee bit depleted of energy reserves currently

Time to restore that with mindful movement + breath

Still time to book ~ you’ll receive an email if your making the live/online

Recordings also available

This is an affordable inclusive and community based session where the space is held for you to reap the benefits of a yoga practice at home

From my nest to yours..

Hello Tuesday

woke up this morning with that familiar well rested ‘brand new term’ feeling with a sense of excitement + promise

on arrival to my first session at The Breathing Space this morning, the plants got a sprinkling of water

I can’t see plants + not tend to their needs!

twas a pleasure to be in the rain + then feel dry

to be dry in the light filled space that frames the seasons so clearly

the drizzle outside was a pleasure to behold

when it’s so cozy + dry on the inside

we explored receiving what it was that we needed, and releasing/letting go of what no longer serves us

this will hold us in good stead for Thursday’s new moon ~ a full system RESET

twas a joy to take a group through a session of mindful exploratory movement + breath instilled in intention

Tuesday’s in Newnham

A quick reminder: 2x NEW classes for you to attend, starting this week!

If things are feeling chaotic or overwhelming, your not alone ~ here is your invitation to ground

One of my current favourite positions is lying in prone (on your belly) with forehead on ground resting shoulders on bricks..

🧱 a wonderful face plant plank of sorts, to rest in

And quite hilariously looks like a protest!

The pressure on the trigeminal nerve, down through the forehead offers almost instant relief!

As well as the ahhhh of the support around the front of the body; chest, belly..

Your nervous system, will thank you

Let’s keep things simple & anchored

Basking as much as possible in the slow & mindful so we can come back to our centre
