Do you want to stretch and move your body tomorrow with Sian Rule Yoga?

●Tuesday 30th January

●10am to 11am

●Chepstow Yoga Space

●£15

Please book at sianrule.com

After lots of sitting, chatting, games and Christmas films let's stretch and help the body's energy, blood and lymph move.

Let's breathe more deeply; open the lungs and remove stale air and bring in the nourishing, life-force energy or *prana* to restore every cell in the body.

You'll experience a lovely chakra meditation and then, to finish, a deeply nourishing, restful Yoga Nidra.

It's suitable for everyone. It'll be adaptable to be as gentle or as 'stretchy' as you want.

Do hope you'll join us!

In the meantime, enjoy the fun, the rest, the social or calm time in this liminal space, the pause between Christmas and New Year.

And HAPPY NEW YEAR.
May it bring all the health, abundance and peace that you desire 🙏

Join Sian Rule Yoga to mark this significant moment in the wheel of the year.

It's a time to pause with some sacred words, guided meditations and gentle movements.

Please bring a journal and a pen.

You'll relax into restorative positions and through a candle meditation.

The end will be a delicious relaxation of Yoga Nidra with koshi chimes.

And some delicious non- alcoholic mulled wine and mince pies.

You'll have such a warm welcome 🙏

Love Siân ✨️ ❤️

This week in Lorna Yoga's classes they are striving to find their authentic selves. They will be utilising postures to keep the heart open, release tension from the jaw, neck and shoulders and strengthen the connection to ground so that they may speak their truth with kindness and compassion.

Yogis we are at week 5 of our theme Discipline and this week our focus is on our Authenticity. This one is a challenging and ongoing practice for me as I strive to really know my own truth let alone always speak it. Our ego begins to develop from a very young age and from that point we start to crea...

Lorna Yoga's classes this week are alignment focused, fluid filled, hip opening flows and there are 7 opportunities to practice with her PLUS an additional hour to completely rest and restore your body in a one off Yoga Nidra special on Thursday.

Our second week of finding the discipline to practice at least once a week and, once you get on the mat, to be disciplined about the way you are practicing. Are you presencing yourself entirely to what you are doing or are you allowing yourself to check out and just go through the motions? How are y...

Finding My Energy Again in My 60s
There was a time I thought feeling tired was just “part of getting older.”

But it wasn’t. My body was simply asking for balance.

When I started combining acupuncture with small daily rituals, everything shifted.

- My mornings began with calm instead of chaos.
- My mind felt clearer.
- My energy didn’t crash halfway through the day.

Here’s what helped me most:

= Weekly acupuncture to reset my nervous system and rebalance my hormones.
= Gentle yoga or a mindful walk each morning - nothing intense, just movement that felt good.
= Breathing deeply before meals and winding down properly before bed.

It wasn’t a quick fix, it was a coming home to my body.

Now, my 60s feel like a new beginning: full of vitality, focus, and ease.

What’s one small daily habit that helps you feel more alive?

Did You Know....
Having the confidence to know what Yoga moves to do safely at home develops progressively through attending your yoga class regularly.

What you learn there will become so familiar that one day you will just remember a yoga move and find yourself doing it spontaneously as and when you need it.

That's when you know your yoga is becoming a way of life.

Energy flows where attention goes…
Have you noticed how what you focus on seems to grow?

When we pour our attention into stress, aches, or worries, they expand. But when we gently shift our focus to the breath, to the body, to the present moment…something magical happens.

In yoga, we use movement, breath, and stillness to guide our attention. And little by little, the energy in the body starts to flow more freely. That’s when the tight shoulders soften, the busy mind quiets, and you feel more yourself again.

Next time you’re on the mat (or even just sitting at your desk), try this:
- close your eyes, place your hand on your heart,
- and notice your breath for a minute.
Feel how just that tiny shift in attention changes your whole energy.

Where will you place your attention today?
