**CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT**
I am officially on holiday!!! 🥳

But that doesn't mean I won't be on my mat. In fact, I'll have more time for my own practice - which I'll be sharing with you occasionally 😊

I'd like to encourage you to roll out your mat and channel your inner teacher in my absence, using the sequences below, generously published by and

My advice...
- Start with the simplest of stretches: supine poses are always the most appealing!
- And don't think you have to devote hours: 5-10mins is a good place to start
- Then see where things take you: move to kneeling ( ) to to and some shoulder openers
- Once you get a taste for it add more poses. But never pressure yourself...
- Have fun!

I will be! 😄

When time and/or finances are tight, it's easy to sacrifice that walk in the park at lunchtime and the takeaway coffee on the park bench; or decide that a massage or yoga class is a luxury we simply can't afford 🚶🏿‍♀️💆🏽‍♀️🧘‍♂️

But it's just when we are pushed to our limits, that taking the time and investing in ourselves is most important 🥰

Today I was in my happy place, taking the time to note the wide variety of wildflowers that I saw on my way to Thamma Thai Wellness where Nan worked her magic ✨️- ironing out the inevitable aches and tensions that accumulate when you teach yoga!

Congratulations Jaki ✨
️I've been fortunate to have experienced Jaki's teaching at an online Convention organised by IYUK and in person in Glasgow as part of the celebration of 50 years of Iyengar Yoga in Glasgow 🙏🏾

A very special spread for our final class of the block social, on the occasion of Satya and Charlene's birthdays 🎂 🥳

It warms my heart to see how we've all come together through yoga and that it has supported and enriched our lives on and off the mat ❤️

Gratitude to the Iyengar Yoga UK Development Fund 🙏🏾

A wonderful whirlwind experience at the Convention this year, including meeting my lovely yogi friends and family, sharing our news, meals and even ceilidh dancing! at this very special event in our home town 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Birjoo's teaching was exceptional - taking us to a place where time and space were irrelevant, our ego was nonexistent and only the asana remained ✨️🕉🙏🏾

I'm head over heels at the upcoming Iyengar Yoga Convention this weekend 🙃

The last time it was held here in Glasgow was in 2012 with Jawahar Bhangera sharing his teaching. Unfortunately I wasn't there. The t-shirt I'm wearing is from the collection of Margaret Austin

This year we're graced with the presence of Birjoo Mehta 🙏🏾

The delight when you type in and an AI description pops up!! 😊

I was greeted by this beautiful banner at in Paisley, when arrived to teach my community yoga class yesterday 😍

Each square was made by a member of the Afgani sewing group and tells its own story. The one that bears a name, second from left at the bottom, marks a milestone when Nazila was able to spell her name 🫶🏾
