Tuesday 7pm
RESTORATIVE YOGA - support method

What to Expect:

Support Method is a slow, fully supported restorative yoga practice designed to help your body and mind release tension, restore balance, and recover from daily stress. Using bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps, each posture is held for several minutes, allowing muscles to relax completely while breath and mindfulness guide deep release.

This class is about stillness, awareness, and creating a safe space for your nervous system to reset. Every session is structured to nurture physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

What You’ll Get:

Deep release of muscular tension and joint stiffness

Reduced stress and anxiety through guided breath and support

Improved flexibility and comfort in joints

Better sleep and overall sense of calm

Heightened awareness of the mind-body connection

Support Method encourages surrender and mindful relaxation - it’s a practice of restoration and understanding.

How You’ll See Results:

After just one session, most students notice a sense of calm, reduced tightness, and mental clarity.
With regular weekly practice, you can expect lasting benefits: improved stress management, enhanced recovery, better sleep, and a stronger connection to your body and breath.

Results come from consistent, mindful practice and intentional support - not intensity or repetition.

Balancing for all three doshas Ayurvedic chai recipe - 3 cups of water, 4 cloves
2 pinches ground nutmeg,
2 pinches ground cinnamon,
1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, chopped fine
1 tsp black tea
1 cup milk
2 tsp sugar or honey

PREPARATION

Boil the water with the spices for 2 minutes.

Add the tea and simmer for 2 minutes.

Add the milk and heat until hot but not boiling.

Add sweetener and serve.

You may vary the amounts of milk and sugar according to taste and dosha. Of course, increasing milk and / or sugar can provoke kapha, so take care.

If you use caffeinated tea, the cardamom will help neutralize the effects of the caffeine.

WHY PRACTICE?

Some moments in life change us without asking permission. They arrive through shock, loss or harm and the body remembers long before the mind makes sense of it. Over time we learn to watch ourselves closely.
We become careful.
We pull back.
Not because we are weak but because we have learned what it costs to be unprotected.
This kind of vigilance can begin to shape how we move through the world. We live smaller.
We stay alert.
We brace.
What once kept us safe can quietly keep us from fully inhabiting our lives.
In practice, we begin to notice this. The holding.
The scanning.
The breath that never quite settles.
Yoga, movement, and stillness don’t ask us to erase the past they invite us to meet it with awareness. To shift from guarding ourselves against what has been toward listening to what is here now.
Healing isn’t about dropping our defences overnight. It’s about slowly learning that the body no longer needs to stand watch. That it’s safe, in this moment, to soften.
To breathe.
To take up space again.
And again.
And again.
And again.

Samasthiti - what does it mean?
This week we have been studying the meaning of Samasthiti?

It goes well beyond the basic ideas of standing in one position.
It goes well beyond the basic ideas of remaining firm and attentive.

Do you know what it means beyond the physical?
Do you know how to use your yoga postures to study the philosophy of the term?

Come and rest my friends
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Tonight 7pm

This huge moon in Leo is your permission to pause.
Restorative Yoga is a gentle, deeply nourishing practice designed to settle the nervous system and bring the body back to rest. With very little movement, supported shapes, and quiet breath, we create the conditions for real restoration to happen.
You can expect: • Slow, supported poses — up to six shapes, held for 5–10 minutes so the body can fully soften • Gentle breathwork — Ujjayi pranayama, a quiet, ocean-like breath to calm the mind • Plenty of props — blankets, bolsters, blocks and chairs to support you completely
This practice is for anyone feeling tired, stretched thin, overwhelmed, or recovering. It’s also for those who simply want to lie down, breathe, and be held by the practice.
Class details • Tuesday 7:00 pm • Maximum 13 participants for a more personal experience • Livestream class
What you’ll need: A mat, blocks, a few blankets and a bolster if you have one. We’ll check in at the beginning and work with what you’ve got.
Rest. Restore. Let your system reset.

The Bhagavad Gita is not a story about peace, incense, or transcending life. It begins on a battlefield. A man stands frozen between what he loves and what is required of him. Arjuna is overwhelmed, sick with doubt, paralysed by the weight of consequence. He does not know how to act without betraying himself or the world he belongs to.
This is where yoga starts — not in certainty, but in conflict.
Krishna doesn’t remove the battlefield. He doesn’t tell Arjuna to be calm, positive, or detached from feeling. Instead, he asks him to stay. To see clearly. To meet fear, grief, rage, responsibility — without turning away. The teaching is not about avoiding life, but learning how to act within it without being destroyed by it.
This is why the Gita still matters. We meet these same forces every day: duty and desire, care and exhaustion, loyalty and resentment, love and fear. On the mat, these inner battles show up in the body — resistance, collapse, ambition, avoidance, steadiness, breath. Yoga becomes a place to witness ourselves honestly, without performance or spiritual bypassing.
Raw. Unfiltered. Human.
You don’t come to practice to become someone better. You come to see who you already are when things get hard — and learn how to remain present anyway.
I will meet you there.
