GuildfordYoga - Guildford Yoga

05/10/2023

Many of you will have seen this rather hilarious report in the newspapers a few weeks ago. Funny as it is, it got me thinking -clearly the people who reported the incident didn't imagine for one moment that those people might have been 'relaxing'. Is it really such a strange, alien and bizarre activity these days?

Perhaps so... maybe we all need a bit more yoga in our lives to remind ourselves that relaxing isn't unusual, indeed it is an essential activity to lead a healthy life.

If you haven't been to yoga recently, why not join us? All the GuildfordYoga classes are drop-in, fun and friendly. You'll stretch, strengthen, relax, improve your overall health and well being - and perhaps also make some good friends.

Police say the call was made with "good intentions" after students were mistaken for bodies.

If you care about wildlife, nature and/or your children/grandchildren's future please act now. Lobby whichever political party you favour.

My friend asked me to post this to raise awareness. Sadly, she is experiencing the pain of saying the long goodbye to one of her loved ones. I'd love it if someone who reads this could also post it on their timeline?

Robin Williams committed su***de because he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia.
Bruce Willis just learned that his illness is Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Lewy Body Dementia- One of the hardest things to process is the slow change in the one you love my .other in law had parkinsons with lewy body demencia
Becoming a completely different person. Everything changes. Just so you know...😢 It’s called the long goodbye. Rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are and become less themselves.
Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink or talk to their loved ones. There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia or Alzheimer's has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia or Alzheimer's.
In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like to see at least 5 of my friends put this on their timeline. I'll settle for at least one.❤️

Working from home? Permanently at your desk?
I've been creating some videos for an Ergonomics company to help non-yogis get the benefit of some simple yoga stretches to reduce aches/pains caused by sitting and using computers. Here's one to try for hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and upper back

If you are feeling strong emotions - positive or negatively - take 5 minutes to watch and count your breath. You'll emerge with a greater sense of equanimity, perhaps something we could all do with right now when the world seems so divided.

Luci Phipps of GuildfordYoga demonstrates a simple, but super effective, breathing practice to help you quieten the noisy chatter in your head and become les...

Strengthening Balance
The standing figure 4 stretch is a brilliant strengthening balance that works so many of the 'problem' areas of our body. Strengthening the foot, ankle, knee, quads, lower back and core, whilst stretching the achilles, gastrocs, IT band, muscles around the hips, thighs and bottom. Very helpful pose if you're a regular runner/walker.

Got aches and pains from sitting too long, working from home?

Here is a 1 minute chest opening pose to help relieve a few aches and pains, whilst raising your spirits and developing your feelings of kindness and connection to others.

When we lift our top chest at the sternum, or in yoga terms the heart centre, we also lift our spirits, develop greater self-confidence and we feel more love...
