Claire Ferry Yoga

Come and tie yourself in knots with me 😊🤸 Well, that's not all yoga is about of course! My monthly Wednesday morning workshop (3hrs) is to give us time for deeper asana practice, letting the body get warmed up, and also to devote attention and intention to the resulting effects - not just on body but on breath, mind and soul.

Aimed at existing Iyengar yoga students, trainees and teachers. We'll practice inversions. Alternatives and modifications always given.

Fidgety practice. Sometimes I get on my mat even though I don't feel particularly inspired. It was dark this morning and pouring with rain. I was late to the studio. I didn't have a practice plan and was starting with the critical thoughts, then I just decided to play around a bit.

I noticed in baddha konasana my outer left hamstring was tighter compared to on right leg, where adductor was tighter. That made me curious 🤔 so then I explored and ended up trying padmasana variations, and then went as far into eka pada sirsasana (foot behind head) as I've ever managed without help!

Remembered I wanted to try ways of getting into inversions to help my students, and put myself into the body of a couple of people I could think of to see if stepping into sirsasana from a chair would feel good, supported by bricks. It did 🙂

Wanted a cosy calming sarvangasana and always like making a little cave for my head at the wall so did that one.

After relaxation = I felt great! Open, happy, having achieved something I didn't think I'd have been in that mood for.

That "practice without attachment to the outcome" advice from Patanjali's yoga sutras really works 😁!

Love the curiosity in my Iyengar yoga practice!

Another beautiful weekend at Carlingford Yoga - a group of gorgeous humans exploring what a yoga practice has to offer, marveling at nature, listening to our bodies, supporting each other.

How special. And how lucky are we?!
