This week we are finding marvel in our ordinary poses / life. When I do this I find extraordinary contact through the ground and with that comes length, strength, expansion connection. There is nothing special about these poses/ asanas I am no photographer or yoga model. It’s all very ordinary looking but is that what I am experiencing in these photos? Interested in finding the extraordinary in the ordinary come to class this week. Tuesday and Thursdays via zoom email me on [email protected].

Happy New Year! May 2021 be a smoother ride.
Seize the day!
What’s you new year motto / resolution / Mantra/ reflection? I have a few.
Here’s one inspired by a wise and patient man who spent 4 years in solitary confinement in a tiny windowless cell, chained to a wall. And didn’t see a human face I. Those 4 years.
‘What you have to do is live for the day, you have to say, now is life, this very moment. It’s not tomorrow, it’s not yesterday, it’s now, so you have to live it as fully as you can. Invest in every day.’ Terry Waite 2016.

Say hello to Bumble who joined our yoga class by zoom last week! This week Like Bumble in this photo we will be abandoning our bodies to gravity letting go of any expectations or demands, going with the flow, rolling exploring, exhaling deeply before we explore how to recruit some subtle strength from deep with us.
Classes continue Tuesdays and
Thursdays 6:30pm via Zoom DM me or email [email protected].

Hi Guys I’ve been away for a while. My main priorities have laid with supporting the NHS and looking after my family and myself and finding my feet in this brave new world. In fact I’ve picked up the well know Dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley. I was probably drawn to it because we are living a kind of dystopian existence now we’ve seen played out in many a movie. In the novel Aldous Huxley with his acerbic wit asks the question of happiness in the setting of dystopia. The conclusion is that true happiness cannot co exist without conflict and sorrow, that it is something that must be constantly strived for in the context of the accelerating pace of scientific and technological advances, that can also destroy mankind body and soul. Something interesting in all of that! However happiness is not something I personally feel it is something we strive for. However learning how to be.......... here, now and present may lead us to experience joy, as a product of love, joy prevailing over suffering, joy being independent of your personal circumstances. So how are you all doing? I have been doing okay personally but some days have felt tough and I’ve had moments of not feeling okay and within all that moments of joy. I just wanted to say this because there are so many wonderful resources out there to help us with our mental health, yoga, mindfulness apps etc it can in itself feel overwhelming! And it is okay to not feel okay! It’s how we frame it! Checking in and acknowledging our emotions and allowing them to be. So I sat and had a little cry over the phone with a colleague over a patient who has died, I was also crying for many other things I miss my normality in all its shape and forms, hugging family friends I worry if my parents are coping okay with shielding and so on. Just saying some days it’s okay not to feel okay it really is. I am really missing teaching yoga and am teaching some friends tonight over one of the video platforms called Bluejeans. When I am comfortable with how I adapt my teaching to one of these online platforms I will invite you to a free taster session it will be so good to see some of your faces on your mats in your own homes. If you are interested in this please do email me on [email protected]. In the meantime do check out what my other yoga colleagues are offering online! I am reposting their links on my fb page.
stay safe, stay active, stay happy. Jody # # #
