Lorna Yoga continues her Lessons in Love. This week she's looking at Yoga and it's connection to Hinduism and working towards Hanumanasana.

Hanumanasana & Hinduism I tried starting a class in a church once - naming no names - and wasn't allowed to because Yoga is Hinduism and a practice that celebrated one God was not allowed to be carried out in a place that worshipped another. I have respect for people with religious beliefs but I thi...

What if your potential is already unfolding...you just haven't noticed yet?

Have you come any closer to perfection this week? In something? Anything?

When we return to the yoga mat for the hundredth or thousandth time we are exploring our potential.
We have learned that there are countless benefits and reasons for practising.
And there are many different experiences and results.

“I know it’s only three weeks I have been coming but I can notice little differences already.”

Sian Rule Yoga is bringing a Beginner's Yoga course to the studio this Friday...

Chepstow Yoga Space
Fridays 12pm to 1pm
5 weeks
6th February to 6th March
£55 pp

This course is suitable for you if you practiced yoga years ago and would like to go back to the beginning, if you'd like another class to refresh your understanding of the basics or if you're a total beginner.

At the beginning of Siân's journey learning yoga 20 years ago, she was mostly interested in the physical exercises and having some time to herself.

During teacher training it grew to exploring all parts of yoga.

Now she's particularly interested how we can move energy in the body through hand gestures, or mudras, through breathing and meditation techniques.

And as with all things worth learning there's still so much to learn.

And there's no right or wrong starting point.
Whatever aspect of ourselves we work on, we affect the other parts.
Start where the interest points you to and follow the breadcrumbs.

Siân loves sharing her understanding of yoga, and she'd love to welcome you to the course.

To book either class, please go to the website: sianrule.com.

In Lorna Yoga's classes this week E is for ... Ego, Enlightenment & Eka Pada Rajakapotasana. Big topics that she touches on in her email and offers up some fabulous books for further reading. Click on the picture to read, book or browse X

Ego, Enlightenment & Eka Pada Rajakapotasana Big topics! And how to summarise them in a short email? Enlightenment, put simply, is the 'goal' of yoga. All of these practices of yoga are designed to wake us up to the truth of who we are. To recognise beyond cognition, with our whole being, that our i...

This week in Lorna Yoga's classes D is for ... Dancing with Dolphins and Dharma. In the attached she talks about her understanding of Dharma and how it might feel as joyful as dancing with dolphins. Click the link to read, to book your spot in one of her classes or to browse her website

Dancing with Dolphins & Dharma I'm so loving this theme. I was worried it would seem a bit trite but each week I get to explore different aspects of Yoga and then share with you lessons that have transformed my life. I changed when I found yoga. Anyone who knew me then and knows me now will testify....

I haven't done this for a couple of years, so I am so delighted to once again be hosting a lunchtime:

BEGINNER'S YOGA COURSE!

The details:
> Chepstow Yoga Space
> 5 weeks
> 6th February to 6th March
> Fridays 12pm to 1pm
> £55 pp

You'll be learning the basics of:
Moving
Breathing
Coming into stillness through simple meditations

But this course is not just a tick list of being able to do a downward facing dog and sitting cross legged in meditation (that's not actually important).

This course invites you to experience how you move your spine, your arms, your legs.

How it feels when your breath enters and leaves your body.

Explore different ways that you find moments of stillness to enjoy.

That connect you with who you truly are.

And aligns you with the real you.

We'll explore resting and give it the importance it requires. How it affects our peace of mind, our sleep, our nervous system.

And we'll dip into the yoga philosophies of how to treat ourselves and others to live life with integrity and from the heart.

We start on Friday February 6th, so if you're feeling a nudge, do join us!

Please book your space through the link in the comments.

You'll be so welcome!

🧘‍♀️💙

Chaturanga, Compassion & Clarity I have a dog, Toffee Apple, who some of you will know. She is (nearly) a 15 year old chocolate Labrador. She's a beautiful dog, in her manner, her temperament, her face ... (she's always been a bit dodgy looking from the neck down ). Anyway we love her. Very much. An...
