Steve Roberts Yoga

A fractured tibia has shown me that people, almost unanimously, are looking for opportunities to be kind and to help a stranger in need.

I've also been reminded that patience is such an overlooked form of self love because, by its own nature, its rewards aren't immediate. It's really just a way of slowing down our often-inflated demands on ourselves.

Thank you to all the strangers who've helped me onto the bus, given me a shoulder-up or smiled at me with their eyes after seeing me help myself 🩼🩰

And thank you to the people in my life who raced me round hospitals in a wheelchair, made me laugh, took me swimming in the sea, carried my coffee, bedazzled my crutch and gave me permission to ask for help. You know who yous are - I promise to pay all of your love forward ❤️🙏🏼

The improbability of our existence means we're already born complete. Our time is a generous invitation to express this completeness 🪂

When good ripples out, it will ripple in too ☀️🙏🏼

Play time 🤸🏼

Breathe to enjoy 🔬📡

Even postures which don't seem to rely on balance do: tightening a muscle to balance another, breathing to balance a static hold; effort balanced by ease. With movement and asana, we (usually without realising it) make an appropriate muscular, breath or energetic response to the stimulus, "What is out of balance?" Once found, the balance itself isn't static and involves attention and ultimately presence.
"What is out of balance?" is a much easier question to begin to answer than "What's wrong?" It's judgement free, constructive and usually involves a "Why?" or two to answer.
I sometimes find myself grappling with understanding what balance feels like in the first place. But I guess, just like asana, we know balance only once we find it ⚖️❤️

Upcoming Workshop - Practising Reframing - The sheer amount of stimulation and input into our senses throughout our days means that, to process and act, we categorise the external world through useful lenses. Family, anxiety levels, adventures, career, nutrition, dependencies...

Over time, our choice of lenses to view our lives through starts to form our sense of identity: how we see ourselves and how we represent this to the world. It seems important, then, to frame our 'stories' through the right lenses if we are to see the most relevant, constructive and true narratives. Not society's default lenses necessarily but our own.

Through a 2-hr practice of yang, yin and nidra, we we'll create space to deepen your connection to self and perhaps even shift how you frame your life. Come and enjoy!

Workshop on Joy 👇🏽
JOY, or 'happiness without context', a lust for life or a gleeful embracing of it all. It's up for the taking, Joy. It's in the detailed gifts of our senses and in movement and in stillness. We all know that Joy feels more like giving than taking though.

In fact, it's such a great state to be in that it's worth taking, or rather giving, a moment to shorten the path that we use to get ourselves there by simply reminding ourselves how.

Energy building, followed by calm and appreciation of Self is the perfect anchor for truthful joy to bubble through your everyday. Join this 2hr yang/yin/nidra workshop to share in it.
