Blocks aren’t a step back — they’re a step deeper.

Even in an advanced practice, they’re there to support you.

They allow gradual opening without overstretching, helping you stay longer in poses with stability, and building strength alongside flexibility.

Real depth comes from supporting your body, not forcing it. 🌿

Do you feel this while using a block in your practice? 👇

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable Front of Desk Assistant to join the YogaSpirit community 🤍

✨ Must have own transport.

✨ A love for yoga (or a curiosity to practice!) is essential.

✨ Ideally already connected to or familiar with the YogaSpirit community and ethos.

This role is primarily a trade exchange (yoga for studio support), with additional earning potential.

If you enjoy creating welcoming spaces and connecting with people, this could be for you. 🌞

Coming back to what really matters 🍃

Standing Head to Knee Pose 👣✨

In the Bikram (Hot26) practice this pose is one of balance, control, and patience. Watching Thyag build into the full expression is a reminder to move step by step and not rush the process.

Key points:

• Shift your weight fully into the standing leg — root down before you lift up
• Engage the core to support the lift
• Bring the thigh tight into the chest (compression first)
• Extend through the heel, not just the toes
• Keep the standing leg strong and locked, lifting the kneecap
• Move slowly — control over momentum

Benefits:

• Improves balance + focus
• Strengthens core + legs
• Builds mental discipline

It’s not about height — it’s about stability 🤍

Do you enjoy this pose in the Bikram series?

In our 3 Quote Series, each of our teachers share quotes that resonate deeply with them. We love what BEV chose, especially her own quote at the end: “Time moves faster as we get older because the brain knows what to expect due to our habits and routines. Time moves slower if we continue to add new and exciting experiences to our daily lives. Ignite the brain to slow time down by doing something different and unique every day”.

Today, 14 years ago, we held our very first class at YogaSpirit. It was a 6pm Power Class. I taught it … in something of a disbelieving yet awe-filled state that the moment was finally here. After all the hurdles (and there were many), YogaSpirit was opening its doors. So many Earth-angels had helped me to get to this point - I hope some of you are reading this post now and know much gratitude I feel for you. Today I took some time to go through the very old social media archives and find pics of our very first classes, of the space in those rough and ready days, and of teachers who taught classes for us way back when - do you remember some of them? Shout-out to those beautiful beings. And of course, the biggest thank you to you, our community, for the daily LOVE. Some of you who were in that very first class are still with us today, 14 years later. What an honour.
All my love and gratitude,
Kate
