Big Heart Yoga

Day 2 with at ✨

Mysore practice was followed by a workshop on building strength to support our asana practice, including drills to help develop jump throughs and jump backs.

This afternoon was a session on the History of Modern Yoga and then we wrapped up and headed out into the sunshine. Now we are on our way onto Manchester proper for an explore ☀️

Greetings from Manchester, at the end of a glorious day one with at

We had Mysore practice this morning followed by 2 workshops. One on achieving the right tension in our ansana - the interplay of the ‘push’ and the ‘pull’, and the second, about the use of bandha and breath to activate our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

We rounded our day off with dinner at Indian Treat, and a visit to the cinema to see the new Star Wars movie. Top tier Saturday all round

Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow ✨

What a lovely way to welcome the weekend - on the mat with the Friday Feel Good crew…

Thank you to everyone who came and moved with me this morning, and for coffee and a natter afterwards - it’s always a highlight of my week!

See you next week ♥️

Violence has become so normalised that compassion is considered extreme - shared at the Anti Yoga show last night, and it has stayed with me.

So often we think of violence as something outside of ourselves, but violence towards ourselves has become so ordinary that we barely notice it anymore. The constant comparison. The mean self talk. The criticism. The derogatory thoughts. The ways we push, punish, numb, and disconnect from ourselves on the daily.

What if compassion started there first? What if we learnt to speak to ourselves with softness, patience and care?

Because I believe that compassion ripples. First to ourselves, then to those closest to us, then outward into the wider world, eventually even towards people we may never meet.

After driving back from London, this afternoon I had the absolute privilege of teaching a corporate class as part of Mental Health Awareness Week and I shared this message. It felt really special to be invited in to speak about yoga beyond shapes, productivity, or performance, and instead explore compassion, presence, and humanity.

Then I headed back home to the studio for tonight’s Yogasana with a beautiful group of humans. A full day of connection, breath, movement, and remembering what really matters.

Thank you to everyone who practiced with me today - you are all magic.
