A little space to come home to yourself 🍁

Life has a way of pulling us in all sorts of directions. Work, family, responsibilities, the endless lists that require our attention.

A regular yoga class can offer a little window in the week, time and space away from the noise. Room to catch your breath, rest and reconnect with yourself, without needing to achieve anything or reach any goals.

My classes are welcoming, adaptable for your needs and rooted in curiosity, rather than twisting the body into a “perfect” shape. We explore how movement can feel more comfortable and connected, with space to find your own way.

Whether you are completely new to yoga, returning after a break or are perhaps looking for a different way to approach your practice, you’re very welcome.

🍁AUTUMN CLASSES

Daytime, evening and weekend classes in Burcot, Blackwell and at Beckett’s Farm.

Small groups, with space for individual attention.

If you’d like to find out which class might suit you, send me a message. I’d love to help you find a place to begin.

A little window in the week 🍂

September has a way of bringing its own particular busyness. The return to routines, the things we’ve put off over the summer, and all the usual demands of work, family and everyday life.

Perhaps that’s one of the things a regular yoga class can offer. Not another thing to achieve, or another demand on our time, but a familiar little window in the week. Somewhere to step away from the noise for a while, catch your breath, move, rest, and simply be where you are.

A ritual to look forward to, perhaps. And a little space to carry back into the rest of the week.

Our autumn term begins this week, and I’m looking forward to welcoming familiar, returning and new faces.

Life is remarkably good at pulling us off centre.

Take some space and time to allow your body to find its own way back into balance.

My yoga classes offer an opportunity to slow down, pay attention and explore movement in a way that works with your body, rather than asking it to perform.

There’s no need to be flexible, experienced or particularly “good at yoga”. Just come as you are.

You might notice that you breathe a little more easily. That your body feels more comfortable. That your mind has a little more space.

And perhaps you leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Autumn classes begin on Thursday 10 September, with weekly classes and longer sessions in and around Bromsgrove.

The next Sunday workshop is on 13 September, 10am–12pm at Burcot Village Hall. Spaces are £18.

Take a look through the photographs for the full timetable. To book your space—or to ask which class might suit you—send me a message or call 07799 148249.

Our second cohort start our “Reconnect” course today. It feels quite a moment as my own diagnosis was 12 years ago today. Never able to forget, but forever filled with gratitude 🙏

Some beautiful words from “Light on Life" BKS Iyengar.

"A vase, like a building, like a body, has two spaces—the one that it contains and the one that surrounds it. When we begin asana, we worry about the shape of the pose, that is, how we look in the mirror, in other words, the space we exclude. By now we should be worrying about the space we include, the space within, for it is largely that which gives true life and beauty to the asana. It is called yoga svarupa—the self assuming its perfect form through yoga."

"That is achieved through the inner distribution of space."

~ Guruji BKS Iyengar

I don’t often mention it, but Vanda Scaravelli was actually a student of Iyengar, and these words perfectly capture the essence of our Scaravelli-inspired practice.

I so often say in class that we are more interested in internal sensation than external physical form. When movement becomes something that emerges from within, rather than for external validation, the whole room shifts. 🙏
