Turn to This Yin Yoga Practice When You're Feeling Helpless

It’s been a while since we have done a yin session.
I find this practice the toughest personally. Physical muscles engaging asanas are invigorating, endorphin producing. Rewarding! Yin reaches deep. How comfortable are you when you are stuck with yourself for a little while in a pose in silence? I have no clue whether it will be yin next week. I am letting this one brew. All I know is YOGA IS AMAZING!!!

Turn to This Yin Yoga Practice When You're Feeling Helpless We may not be able to solve all the world’s problems, but we can look inward to connect with ourselves.

Is delighted to confirm that Mondays’ classes are fully booked.
Only a couple of spaces up for grabs on Wednesdays!

🧘‍♂️Yoga lessons resume tonight St Denys Boat Club @7.15pm 🧘‍♂️

See you later!

🚴🏼‍♂️Oh my, if I had known how much fun this would be I would have tried it years ago. Fun for the whole family too! There may have have been a little adrenaline perk as this is the 3rd time I have been on a bike since I am a kid… and am now the proud owner of ….padded pants!🤣 and spray shorts! Don’t ask. Does not look 👀 cool once they have fulfilled their purpose. Had the most gentle of falls as lost speed and just toppled onto a bed of ferns. Total giggle. 🤣Having a blast trying new stuff!🚴🏼‍♂️

If you want to try something new, well you are most welcome. You don’t need padded pants for yoga! Unless that’s your thing. Just bring yourself and we’ll sort everything else out.

What a fab 6 weeks of yoga! It was all mantra, mudra and links to yoga and Buddhism history until it wasn’t and shook things up with callisthenics tonight! Yoga is exploring.
Diving deep within. Becoming conformable with the uncomfortable. No clue what we are doing after half term. Wishing everyone a great break. Can’t wait to see you again! 🤩
( the picture is of my mimosa potted tree. I need to find him a space to spread his root. Love him because he comes in full bloom towards the end of winter, when there is still darkness and he is a tree from the south of France where I come from. He was purchased at Mayfield nurseries which is a charity that promotes good mental health. 😍

I always wanted to give aerial yoga a try. A massive thank you to Veronique , Lauren and the SYA for putting on this event this Sunday and introducing us to this amazing practice. 😊🙏

Some of you may think that aerial yoga is a fad, so I would like to share what I gained from it. I have tight hamstrings and hips. Thanks to the support provided by the silks in the stretches I was able to relax and deepen some stretches and so I found comfort in some poses where I don’t usually find ease. The savasana hammock style still or swaying is totally regressive, the bubble of your hammock becomes your haven space. Inversions become effortless. BatKiki 🦇. I also tried out a handstand version Soooo good! Finally, it’s just plain fun! 😁🙌🏼

Veronique teaches aerial at St Denys Boat Club on Tuesdays at 5.30pm and Sundays. So much going on at St Denys Boat Club.

🌲🚴The theme of this week’s yoga lessons was cultivating a beginner’s mindset in life and yoga practice. With it comes the freedom of trying new things without expectations.🚴🏼‍♂️🧘‍♂️

I don’t always manage to practice what I teach but I always intend to. This week I have tried out new tech at my workplace, signed up for my first aerial yoga workshop and found myself riding a mountain bike through the forest. ( I thoroughly recommend Moors Valley Country Park). It’s been a brilliant!

But think it doesn’t have to be so literal, you can also understand the beginner’s mindset as seeing things as though they were through a fresh perspective, rediscovering the wonder in what may have seemed banal.

Have you tried something new?
Do you plan to?
What have you rediscovered and blown your mind lately?
What is it that you have always wanted to try?

Do share. ( PG answers only 😜)

A lovely email I received from an experienced yogini on her first class with me on Monday. Many thanks for allowing me to share this Jane ( not my mum 😁😜) Yoga is an amazing practice.

Hi Kiki

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed yoga this evening.
It was such a nice chilled out atmosphere and I thought the class was great.
Really well thought out poses that flowed, I was able to push myself in some of the stretches but just the right amount so I don’t feel achy after the class.
I enjoyed using the mantra you introduced and I have always wanted to try mudra but didn’t know how so thank you for bringing that in.
Looking forward to next week’s class already.

Thanks so much, have a great week
Jane.

If this sounds like something you’d like to try…
Only a couple of spaces left on Mondays at 7.15pm

🎉Happy New Year! Wishing you all good health always number 1, love, happiness, prosperity and a world free of Covid would be just great. Here’s to 2022! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who has supported YWK this year. Without you there would be no classes. And a warm welcome to you if you are new to me and decided to make a change for the better and give yoga a try. There is all to gain.

(In the pic we have Kenzo my parents’ very very old cat. He has aqua coloured eyes, a soft belly low to the ground, he lives in the coutryside, has always preferred the indoors and loads of love to give.)

🎄🎄Wishing everyone a restful, peaceful and safe Christmas. Take good care. 🎄🎄

Important notice: roadworks on Priory road, means there’s a road closure. If you have the parking permit. Please park at the back of the conservative club. Email me for one of you need it. 🤞🏼

Monday’s class wanted some back bends; back bends we did!
🌕☀️ This week, Wednesdays’ asked to dive deeper into Sun Salutations. So we really will!! 😊You are in for a treat. Yoga is such a rich practice that we will approach Sun Salutations from a practice of gratitude, explore its physical benefits, how it works on the chakras, become aware of the mantras associated with the 12 names of the sun, link it to its Hindu roots and see how it’s the perfect complement to the Moon Salutation. Tout un programme. Hatha it is! ☀️🌕
