At Jamie Brown Yoga I help office (and home) workers improve their posture and back health for overall wellbeing and longevity. If you spend too much time sitting at a desk, then this is for you! My mission is to train you to hold good posture so that you’re able to free your body from aches and pains caused by modern lifestyle habits.

ABOUT ME:

Unhappy and unfulfilled, I gave up my career as an Events Manager and left the London rat race behind in exchange for the peace and tranquillity of Nicaragua's most magical volcanic island. Making a vow to myself to follow my heart, I was led to a jungle ashram where I spent the next 2 months training to become a yoga and meditation teacher (the best decision I ever made). As the pandemic hit, I had the good fortune to be in ashram isolation, experimenting with a number of Vedic yogic practices. Today, my wish is to share my learnings with others because I truly believe in their value. Yoga and meditation have helped me tremendously in my transformational journey, and I hope they can do the same for you. MY UNIQUE STYLE OF YOGA:

When it comes to establishing a healthy home yoga practice, the most important thing is to never push to the point of pain or strain. You might feel a bit of tension or resistance in certain poses, but you should never ever feel pain or discomfort when practicing yoga. On social media you’ll often see images of super bendy people in fancy yoga poses, but what is left unsaid is that these people are naturally hypermobile. This means that they have excess range of movement in their joints. And when you’re too flexible (yes you can be too flexible) this may eventually lead to future health problems, due to the wear down of joints. Rest assured, you don't need to become a human pretzel to reap the benefits of yoga. Anyone (no matter your age, your gender, your physical capability) can benefit from a regular home yoga practice. Those of you that have attended my classes will know that my teaching style is unique. Traditional asanas (poses) are often modified to get a much deeper stretch than you would do normally, but also to address discomfort in postures. You'll be given clear instruction and plenty of variations so that you can get the most out of your practice by choosing the option that best fits your body type. My promise to you is to empower you to get to know your own body so that you can jump on your mat with confidence, without worrying about injuring yourself. And the ultimate goal is to learn to use the tools of yoga to dive inwards, discover yourself and grow physically, mentally and spiritually. Yoga is a continued journey of self-study (Svādhyāya). May you be happy and healthy,

See you on the mat,

Jamie

One thing Numa (my 14 month old) has taught me is the importance of play, even for us adults. It brings colour and joy to our life experience.

Last week my partner and I went to an acro yoga jam in the park with some friends, and it was just the third time (post Numa) that we took time for us, to enjoy each other's company, play and be silly.

I felt like me again, not just Numa's mum. It was so much fun! So much so that I forgot to listen to my body, over did it, and the day after ended up pulling a muscle in my back which had me almost bed bound for a week 🙈

It surprises me how long it takes to build back physical strength post partum, but at least a little play time helps me keep a youthful energy and spirit ☺️

This is the third year we've been in Mexico around this time of year, but it's the first time we manage to participate in the Day of the Dead festivities (el Día de los Mu***os).

Last year we lost my gran and my partner's father unexpectedly, so this year it was important for us to celebrate this wonderful Mexican Holiday (also known as Hanal Pixan) in order to honour and celebrate our loved ones that have passed.

We embraced the Mexican tradition of making an altar in our home in loving memory of Yvonne, Alain as well as my mum, Grazia, alongside other family members and friends.

We visited the local cemetery, where instead of the atmosphere being somber and sinister, it was lively and colourful. Mexican families gathered around the tombstone of their deceased bringing an array of offerings, drinking and eating together, playing music and telling stories.

What's more we attended the festival of Life & Death (Vida y Muerte) at Xcaret which was also a very special experience.

I love the way Mexicans celebrate their dead.

It feels lighter, it feels freer, in a strange way it feels almost comforting ❤️

On 3 June 2024 our beautiful baby boy, Numa, was born 🥰

Tomorrow it'll be 2 months since his birth and it already feels like a lifetime ago!

For me, the transition into motherhood has been a period filled with wonder, appreciation and deep unconditional love.

And at the same time there have also been (many) moments of insecurity, doubt and frustration.

Although I still don't have a clue what I'm doing, I am learning to trust my mama instincts, be compassionate with myself and accept that every day is different 😊

Plus I definitely have a new found respect for parents that I didn't quite "get" before becoming a mum myself.

Nothing can truly prepare you for the monumentous event that child birth is, and the role of first time mum in those early weeks. But with time you find your feet and you do your best.

Last night I became an aunty and Numa gained a little cousin. I'm so proud of my sister , she did amazing and I know that she too will find her barings and become an exceptional mother and aunty. I can't wait for our little ones to meet in person ❤️❤️❤️

As this pivotal moment in my life fast approaches, I feel at peace and grateful for the past 8 months.

When I first learnt I was pregnant, although it was wanted, I couldn't help feeling nervous about how a child would impact my unconventional lifestyle, I had no clue about parenting, I felt anxious about giving birth and apprehensive about how having a child would change the dynamic of my relationship.

So I chose to approach this new chapter of my life with intention and curiosity. It would become an opportunity to learn and I would do whatever I needed to do to intentionally address and overcome my fears.

I decided that feeling prepared and informed is what would allow me to feel confident, and open/honest communication with my partner about my needs, feelings, and views on birth and parenting is what would allow us to transition and grow into our new roles harmoniously.

I also asked some of my mum friends, midwives and doulas what their top tips or learnings were for child birth and the post partum period, whilst bearing in mind that everyone's experience is different.

I found this exercise to be really insightful, and drawing from the wisdom of others who have walked this road before me has given me strength to find my own way.

Here are some of their responses:

- Relinquish control and trust the process

- Breathe, move and make sound

- Follow your instinct and work with gravity

- Show up with self compassion, focus on being good enough, not super mum

- Speak and sing to baby, visualise your birth

- Carve out quality time with your partner

- Have open and honest conversations with your partner about how you're feeling

- Be mindful that you and your partner will be tired and more likely to fall out over house and baby stuff, so give yourself some space, be kind and compassionate

- Stock up your breast feeding station with snacks and put tea/coffee in a thermos. You will need to eat constantly whilst BF!

- Take enough time to rest after birth, let others look after you, so you can look after baby

- Everything is a phase, the good and bad will pass, so just be in it and don't wish anything away

Here are some of my favourite pregnancy-friendly yoga ball exercises.

1. Down Dog
2. Child's Pose
3. Puppy Pose
4. Yogi Squat
5. Wheel
6. Not sure what I'd call this one.... But it feels sooooo good!

Even just sitting on it, bouncing on it and taking some gentle hip circles feels great, reduces back pain and can naturally help induce labour by opening up your pelvic muscles.

My brand new toy just arrived in the post 😀

A great alternative to a desk chair, and fantastic for good posture.

If you have any recommendations for pregnancy-friendly swiss ball exercises do let me know!

Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows. This year has certainly been a roller coaster of emotions, good and bad.

Yet for me, one of the most significant learnings from 2023 has been to develop the ability to surrender to what is. No matter what my vision or life plan is, sometimes external factors will change my direction and put me on a different path (whether I like it or not).

My challenge has been to let go of resistance and come into a space of allowing. Learning to trust life and simply have faith that I am exactly where I need to be.

In letting go of control and leaning into the "flow", I've opened myself up to wonderful and unexpected opportunities and new possibilities.

This year, I trained to become a life coach, learnt French (still working on it), and I'm growing a little human! All things that weren't planned but that have enriched my life so much. I couldn't be more grateful for this deep sense of inner peace I'm experiencing right now 💚

What has helped me navigate the highs and lows of life, and embrace change is my yoga practice. Through introspection, intentionally fostering an attitude of acceptance, letting go of attachment to specific outcomes and rooting myself in compassion, I've found the strength to surf the waves of life with grace and resilience.

Yoga is my sanctuary - a sacred space for me to ground and find calm amidst the chaos, particularly in times of change.

How do you navigate life's ever changing landscapes?

Feeling proud for creating a brand new course on Insight Timer 😊

Lots of love and effort has gone into designing this 'Raise Your Vibrations' course 💚

1. Silent Reflection
2. Breath Control
3. Physiological Change
4. Mind Cleanse
5. Embodied Emotion

The lessons above are based on my own experiences, growth and transformation, however I have taken inspiration from various sources such Vipassana, The José Silva Method, Tony Robbins and The Landmark Forum.

Another day, another yoga class.

I looooove using yoga props when I teach, but I also use them in my personal practice as well.

The wall, bolsters, blocks, blankets, chairs or if I'm at home I often use towels, pillows, a belt or any random object I can find.

Using props can be super fun. They provide stability and support, they help make poses more accessible, and they can also be used for better alignment, strengthening and releasing!

If you've been resisting because you think props are just for beginners, I urge you to hold back no longer. Take some time to play on your mat- explore and experiment with how you can use props to support your practice 🧘🏻‍♀️

is a wonderful little yoga studio in the heart of Bacalar with an amazing selection of yoga props and ropes too.

Join us for some yoga playtime every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am and Tuesday and Thursday at 8am and 6pm.

See you on the mat!
