Yoga with Michaela

Yoga with Michaela Classical-Eclectic Hatha Yoga: classes include asana, pranayama, meditation and deep relaxation Always wanted to try?

I am a fully-qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, (500 hours TT) and hold BWYQ Level 4 diploma. My classes are suitable for all levels and abilities; all you need is the desire to try something new and be open to all experiences! My classes are a mix of Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing practice), meditation, deep relaxation, and some esoteric and philosophical work based on the classic Hatha yoga texts. Through yoga, we work on our physical bodies, maintaining and hopefully improving our range of movement, strength and flexibility. We work on our minds, learning to still and quieten the mind, enabling us to sit in meditation, leading to the ultimate aim of the unification of the mind and the body, and the Self and the Universe. Just take the first step, the rest will follow!

Lovely to see you all for week 1 of “Cold Hands, Warm Heart!”♥️
Our winter term is a chance to open our hearts to gratitude and love, and to remember that we are all connected.
We nourished our heart chakra with lots of work on arms and shoulders, and with back bends and twusts to open up the front body.
We took time to rest and allow our nervous systems to feel safe and calm.
Gratitude is the beacon that guides us to that place where meaning, dreams, truth and love exist, no matter what or who we must be in the world today.
Have a wonderful week everyone 🙏🏻♥️

Great to see you Zoom Tribe for our final class of “The Art of Change”!
This was our second week of grounding and turning inwards, working on the idea that change comes from a stable foundation. This term we have learned to invite the wobble, and that balance is the art of constant adjustment.
We’ve worked on adapting, introducing small changes to the way we practice familiar asanas, knowing that the only permanent thing is change.
I hope you enjoyed tonight’s class as much as I did! Wonderful expressions of Mandukasana (Frog pose) and Garudasana (Eagle pose) from all of you!
Have a wonderful week 🙏🏻

Tuesday Tribe, that’s a wrap for “The Art of Change” ~ thank you for your practice tonight and all term. 🙏🏻
A class to focus on grounding, rooting and resting to close our autumn term ~ the reminder that after a period of resting, stillness, turning inwards, just like the trees, we reawaken, rejuvenated and ready to move forwards.
I hope you enjoyed our grounding asanas tonight; the lovely surprise of Mandukasana (Frog pose) and Kurmasana (Tortoise pose) 😁
Have a great week!

Thank you for spending time with me tonight Zoom Tribe! For week 5 of “The Art of Change” our focus was grounding and rooting down, using the earth energy to feel safe and supported.
We used lots of standing asana in our practice this evening to ground us, and some work into svadisthana chakra to connect us with our goddess energy, Mother Earth.
I hope you enjoyed class, I had fun for sure! 😁🙏🏻
Have a great week!

Lovely to see you all for week 5 of “The Art of Change” Tuesday Tribe!
Our autumn focus this week was grounding and rooting down, so we used standing asanas to energetically integrate the pelvis with the torso, rooting us deeper into the pose. We directed apana, the downward flow of energy, to ground us, with seated asanas which are intrinsically stabilising, and twists and forward folds in which apana anchors the body.
Beautiful expressions of Vrksasana (tree seat) and Ardha Chandrasana (half moon seat) from everyone 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻 Have a wonderful week!

Happy Samhain!

Today represents transformation, the cycle of life and death, and the opportunity to confront and release fears or negative energy.

Thank you for your company for week 4 of “The Art of Change” Tuesday Tribe. This was our second week of focusing on harvest: harvesting everything we’ve cultivated through the spring and summer, drawing energy inward, preparing for renewal.
You worked hard, I hope you had fun!
You are whole, grounded and deeply connected, resting in the golden calm of autumn.

Thank you for your company tonight Zoom Club!
Our focus in Week 3 of “The Art of Change” was harvest; celebrating the abundance of summer - gratitude for the glory of sunshine and warm days. Cultivating energy, harvesting that energy and all of the seeds we planted through the year, storing it up for the darker, colder months ahead.
Thank you for your efforts everyone 🙏🏻❤️
