Hey yogi,
“Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements. Once you understand the grammar of yoga; you can write your poetry of movements.” -Amit Ray
This week we will be connecting with our first three chakras.
Root or Muladhara
Sacral or Svadhishthana
Solar plexus or Manipura
This will allow us to ground our energy, connect with our emotions and tap into our power.
The beauty of drawing our awareness to our chakras invites us to align our energy centres. Chakras are seen as spinning wheels of energy and when one of them is out of line it can show up in many different ways.
Maybe you have noticed recently you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, fatigued or anxious.
These could all be signs our chakra systems needs a little attention.
I am excited to share this with you all.
If you would like to catch me before I go I will be at the studio on the following dates/times:
Monday 22nd April 5.30-6.30pm
Monday 29th April 5.30-6.30pm
Monday 13th May 5.30-7pm
The final class on the 13th May I wanted to do something a little special, as a thank you but also to hold space and to sit with you and say a proper goodbye. I will be holding an opening ceremony with some cacao and creating a space for us to find a deep connection to the universe, then we shall move, breathe and meditate. The desire will be to make this a fun class full of laughter and joy, so I really hope you will be able to attend. This class will have a small addition of £3 in cash to cover the cost of the cacao.
Thursday morning Rise and Shine classes will continue up until 23rd May 6.30-7.15am, if you haven't already taken this class with me it is via zoom and a great way to start the day. I love it as it gets me up and out of bed in the morning, something I have never been good at haha.
All classes can be booked via the booking site:

As always feel free to drop me a message or I will catch you on the mats.
With love,

Are you seeking a space to relax and completely let surrender?
Well you have landed exactly where you need to be.
Join me for a wonderful Yin yoga practice; to breathe, calm and focus the mind while also releasing into the deeper areas of the body.
We will use props in our practice to support us into the poses and allow us to surrender into gravity.
This is a space for like minded people who want to find some solace and maybe even have a little laugh.
Students are always encouraged to arrive with an open mind and never to take things to seriously, life is already hard enough.

The change in the season is always something I feel so connected too, and with this I wanted to make an extra offering;
Yin yoga on Friday 16th February 6.30-7.45pm
I was wondering if you would like to join me.......
https://pigeon-poser-yoga.live.baluu.co.uk/events
Spaces are limited to 8, so we can have plenty of space to explore into our practice. I have limited bolsters so please do let me know if you would like one. Otherwise I will encourage you to bring blankets, cushions or pillows with you. These will just help us to go deeper into the poses.
I am excited for this one, if it goes well, they will become more regular.

Fancy trying yoga and not sure where to start, come and join my beginners course. This will ease you into the beautiful world of yoga. Check out my booking site for more details.

Taking a moment after teaching lunchtime session
My absolute go to when I need to come into the moment is to close the eyes, relax the shoulders and tap into that beautiful rhythm of the breath.
Silently repeating
Breathing in, I'm aware I am Breathing in
Breathing out, I'm aware I am Breathing out
Take a moment now and give it a go 🙏
With love,

Hey yogi,
When we truly allow ourselves a few moments each day to sit in stillness we are able to draw in on the calm and focusing element of the breath. Give it a little go with me right now, using this mantra;
Breathing in, I am aware I am breathing in
Breathing out, I am aware I am breathing out
Can you notice the difference?
This mantra may not look or even sound life changing to you but I know from experience that this is all it takes to bring us here, into the present moment. You will find me each day, sometimes more than once, sitting, sometimes standing, closing my eyes and silently repeating this mantra as I follow the breath.
As you already know I love to share with you what is resonating for me, so you will find us coming to this breath awareness in our upcoming classes.
Class schedule:
Mondays 5.30pm, Flow yoga in-person and via Zoom
Thursday 6.30am, Rise and Shine via Zoom
Yin yoga 6.30pm - 7.45pm 16th February at Pilates on the avenue
You can have a look at options at the below link:

Always here if you want to reach out with questions or feedback.
With love,
Anna
