I asked one of the teenagers classes last week to describe a biscuit. There are some new students and I wanted to explain how every asana has its own Sanskrit name. To begin with they talked about the appearance of a biscuit but soon the words “chocolate chip” 🍪came in together with descriptions of textures and thicknesses. And an observation of it being harder to describe taste. And then “granny biscuits” - indicating the shape and home made nature of the biscuit but perhaps also an emotional flavour, an intangible “feel”, I wondered, (without voicing that). Sometimes the most perfect looking biscuits are missing something important and sometimes the less complete looking biscuits have it all at another level and the taste stays with you for days. So it is with our practice. We need to explore varieties of the same asana or the same asana group, guided by the shape and form but exploring at a deeper level, looking for threads of similarities and different resonances. For the teens we stuck with learning the shape that goes with the name but maybe the chat sowed some seeds for thought to be stored until ready to ripen. Who learns more in an Iyengar yoga class - the student or the teacher?!

We had 12 students, plus my daughter, this week for Young People's Iyengar Yoga class!
What a joy to be sharing Iyengar Yoga with these people some of whom have been with me for about 8 years. They make steady progress, but it's not just the progress they make, it's the joy they bring to class and by their own enthusiasm they have grown this class not me.
I am so grateful 🙏
And, we still have space for more, so come and join us if you're between 18 and 30 years old.

Join me in June 2024 for a weekend of yoga, meditation and nourishing food?
You are invited to join me for a calm and mindful weekend, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Wye Valley. This is one of my favourite places to retreat to: the house is just a short walk from the River Wye.
As well as yoga and meditation sessions, there will be plenty of opportunity for walking and wild swimming in this beautiful setting. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and an internationally important protected landscape containing some of the most beautiful lowland scenery in Britain.
Accommodation is 2 nights in the beautiful Victorian house, full of charm and character, with shared bathrooms. The house sleeps 34, however the maximum number of students will be 16, so you will have plenty of space and there are plenty of bathrooms; some with baths, some showers.
The food will be vegetarian and homemade. They use as much of their garden produce as they can in the cooking.
This will be a weekend of calm and mindfulness to help switch off from our busy digital lives.
