WHY WE LOVE THE 90 MINS HOT YOGA CLASS!
Image
WHY DO A 90 MINUTE PRACTICE? Nowadays, there is definitely a shift to shorter exercise sessions and yoga classes. It’s a sign of the times, with popular HIIT based 30 min sessions being the norm; we've programmed to 30 minute TV shows and 2 minute Pop songs! Some studios now... Continue reading

THE POWER OF SAVASANA
Image
In Yoga 'they' (the Gurus) say you should practice 'Savasana' for at least 5 mins for every hour you practice yoga, so a 75 min class would be 7 mins 'Savasana', and 90 mins would be 9 mins 'Savasana'. For most of us, we probably spend around 2 to 4... Continue reading

Image

CAMEL: ONE OF THE DEEPEST BACKBENDS!
Image
The key is to find a balance between strength and softeness and play with the opposing forces. We forward bend all day, so backbending can be challenging and certainly our animal/emotional brains don't like being this vunerable and exposing our heart and throat - it's normal to want to protect...

LIFE IS A BALANCING ACT
Image
We all need balance in our lives, literally, but we kind of ignore balance, until our first yoga class when we find out we can’t stand on one leg for longer than 5 seconds. Another wake-up call is when we start falling, tripping and stumbling around. Falls can happen at... Continue reading

When I first started yoga, it was purely a physical thing – moving my body (contorting?) in a totally different range of motion to what I had been doing for the past 30 years or so! Stretching was something I did at the end of a class or run, it... Continue reading

World Sleep Day, 16th of March – it’s a thing! A few days ago, an email pinged into my inbox regarding ‘World Sleep Day on the 16th of March’. I was intrigued; surely they had not introduced a day dedicated to ‘Sleep’? Sure enough, it’s a real event and it’s... Continue reading
