Springing into the new year with an open heart, and looking forward to teaching more Ashtanga classes, 6pm every Thursday, at

Ashtanga is a traditional system of yoga developed by Patthabi Jois, which links gaze, breath and movement in a set series of asanas that when practised regularly over time, purify, strengthen and give flexibility to the body. Ashtanga is a dynamic practice, with modifications for most postures making it accessible - we all start as beginners, and everyone begins with two feet standing on a mat and an open heart, that’s all! 🧡

I’m looking forward to welcoming regular students again this Thursday, and also anyone new - this is a great time to begin and Ashtanga is fun!

Class starts promptly at 6pm, so come along a little before to chat if you’re new or feel free to message me. Easy online booking and small classes guarantee a safe studio space but book early to be sure of your place - online at www.spacetomove.co
Meet you on the mat 🧘🏻‍♀️

Why not do something great this evening? We have a few spaces left in our class at Space to Move, anyone wanting to try Ashtanga is very welcome

Ever thought of trying Ashtanga?
It’s a dynamic, energetic yoga practice that over time develops flexibility, strength and balance in body and mind.

Life is full of ups and downs.
Some weeks we’re able to glide through our days in peaceful contentment; other weeks are filled with challenges and difficult situations that bring us down and cause us stress. That’s life... we can’t control what comes our way, and whilst we might sometimes feel like running away from those difficult situations, we know we have to stay, face up to them, do our best and learn from the experience - we know that we can’t always stick with what’s easy and run from what’s hard.

And so it is on the mat.
As we move through the Ashtanga series we encounter some postures that cause us fear and aversion - some we don’t even want to try because we’re afraid of falling/failing. But if we approach our practice with an open heart and mind, it builds in us the strength to break down patterns of attachment and aversion, two of the causes of suffering according to Patanjali (2:7&8) If we approach those challenging postures with trepidation, we create fear and drama in our minds before we even get on the mat, so that even as we begin to enter the posture, a part of our consciousness is resisting. But if we approach each asana with the same willingness to do our best and accept what comes, in time we find sthira stukham asanam - stability and comfort in asana.

Working with steady dedication, following the breath and trusting in the practice, we find peace and balance in those postures that maybe we once thought were out of reach; and then, off the mat, we find that quiet strength that helps us deal calmly with all the ups and downs that life brings us. Have a great day, whatever comes your way! ☀️

I’m so happy to share that Thursday evening Ashtanga classes begin again at Space to Move, Plymouth from 20th May. To book simply visit www.spacetomove.co

Ashtanga is the sunrise on the darkest morning, it gives me strength in mind and body. Whatever life may throw my way, Ashtanga gives me hope and inspiration.

Samasthiti - this is where it begins...
