Yoga Workshop The Playhouse 🙌
Whether you're feeling tight in your hips, want to improve your range of movement, need to release stored emotions - or all three, then please join me for a Hip Opening Workshop.

We'll spend two hours exploring key poses that unlock tightness and tension and help you to let go of any unwanted baggage that gets stored in the hips (the big psoas muscle of the hips connect the spine to the femur).

It'll be a healing, rejuvenating and energising morning. Stay for refreshments after. 🪷🫖
WhatsApp me to book and for more info.

What's on my Yoga playlist? I love this song for during savasana (co**se pose) for its beauty, relaxation and upliftment vibes.

One of the amazing reasons to join 7:30am yoga with me every Tuesday at Eat Surf Yoga studio. It's the perfect way to start your day 🌅

Here are my 5 top yoga poses that help with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome); aiding bowel movements and overall digestive health:

1. Wind Releasing Pose aka Energy Releasing Pose (Sanskrit name: Apanasana) pull knees and thighs tight into your belly massaging and stimulating large intestine.

2. Half Wind Release Pose (Sanskrit name: Eka Pada Apanasana), you can rest your head on floor or also lift head to knee (for a double benefit of neck release and helping the digestive system), right knee squeezed into tummy stimulates the ascending colon, left knee in stimulates the descending colon.

3. Any Twist like Half Lord of The Fishes (Sanskrit name: Ardha Matsyendrasana) twist to the right and then to the left. This pose is not only brilliant for the middle back but compresses into the intestines, liver and kidneys - so it encourages digestion and elimination!

4. Locust Pose (Sanskrit name: Salabhasana) this is a great accessible backbend that also massages every digestive organ from the liver to the intestines (as your full body weight is on the abdomen). Come into a Child's Pose afterwards (which btw is also a good pose for digestion).

5. Bow Pose (Sanskrit name: Dhanurasana) - a little bit more of an intensive backbend than Locust, but if you're able to go into it, it also tones the internal organs as you're lying on your tummy. For a boosted massage rock back and forth like a rocking horse while in this pose. Once again you'll need a counter pose like Child's Pose after this backbend.

Join me every Tuesday 7:30 am in Glencairn and Thursday 5:30 pm in Fish Hoek where I incorporate all of these poses.

My GSP Lia, who we sadly had to say goodbye to on the 1st of May 💔, used to come and lie in the room where I practise yoga. I think she could feel my relaxed and calm state.

Yoga reduces stress. FACT. Not only does the focus on breathing put a handbrake on the parasympathetic nervous system (the system that controls stress levels).

It also stimulates the vagus nerve (the longest nerve in the body!), stretches your muscles, relieving tension in tissue and as I've previously posted, yoga practice is scientifically proven to increase levels of Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA). GABA has anti-seizure and anti-anxiety effects.

So come practise yoga with me, every Tues morning 7:30 - 8:30 at EAT.SURF.YOGA in Glencairn and every Thursday evening 5:30 - 6:30 at The Playhouse Fish Hoek.

My Vinyasa Flow classes will get you moving, breathing and feeling better 🙌

Why you should ‼️‼️NEVER pick up a Tortoise‼️‼️
Tortoises store water in a bursa sac.
This reserve is used for hydration and also to moisture the soil when females want to dig a hole to lay eggs in.
When a tortoise is picked up they can release the storage water and urinate as a deterrent. Due to long distance walks to replenish the water loss, tortoises can die of dehydration.
Tortoises can also stress easily.

If you need to move a tortoise off a road, pick it up gently and keep it low to the ground and move it slowly across.
Put it down gently and move away.

In the wild never pick up a Tortoise, rather wait and see it move off on its own and then continue.
