Hazel Watson Yoga

My time of sharing community hatha yoga has come to an end. I’ve evolved so much as a teacher and as a human during these 4 years, and I’m so grateful to the centre for allowing me a space to find my voice, and for the friendships and community we have formed.

4 years ago I was planning my yoga sequence move-by-move, synchronised with a thoughtfully crafted playlist, sometimes with only 2 participants in the room. Over time, and with growing confidence, I was able I to put my notebook aside and move intuitively, without much of a plan in my mind, tuning into the energy of the room, turning off the music and moving to the sound of our breath. To find the classes reliably filling up every week, often with the room over capacity…It’s a huge compliment, so thank you. A few times I came to practice after a long day, tired or buzzing, but the energy of the centre, the community, and sharing this ancient Indian practice always brought balance to my being, somehow providing exactly what I needed.

Feels like the end of an era for me, and I know I’m going to look back on this chapter with so much nostalgia in the future. For now I’m leaving the centre with new inspiration, life long friendships and a heart full of gratitude.

Thank you 🙏

Memories of another beautiful retreat held at last month 🌞

It was an honour to hold this transformative yoga & elements of nature retreat at @anandaforestspain over autumn equinox this year. To witness 10 incredible, powerful, open hearted women raising each other up, you inspired me so much, feeling the potential of sisterhood again. Thank you to Floris & Paulina at Ananda Forest for welcoming us to your beautiful home, for sharing the wisdom of the land and providing the nourishing food that keeps us grounded all week. Can’t wait to return in May and assist on the Yoga Teacher Training, send me a DM if you would like more information on that 😉 #yogaretreat #sisterhood #slowliving #yoga #wellbeingretreat
