Is yin yoga bad for you? The little world of yin Yoga has been in a bit of a turmoil lately because a very well-known teacher, who I follow on here and really like, has said that she stopped practising yin yoga because she feels it is not safe. I will not state here all her reasons.
And there have been at least a couple of other very well regarded teachers who have demonstrated otherwise.
I think that debate illustrates quite well what happens in Yoga and probably in many other activities. Some say it’s good, some say it’s bad. There will be research showing why it’s good, there will be research saying why it’s bad. Yoga is about experimenting in your body, first hand, what feels good and what does not feel good. And then make an informed decision.
I love yin Yoga. I fell in love with this practice a long time ago. I have always loved holding postures for quite a long time, even the standing one, feeling and noticing the changes, the shifts in my body.
I have always preferred it to the fast ashtanga / vinyasa pace.
I feel it is nearly a sterile debate where no one is right or wrong. Because as I said earlier, in yoga you need to experiment how it feels in your body and decide if it’s for you or not. There will be days when it’s for you, there will be days when it is not.
The important thing is, as always to listen to your body with compassion and empathy and to know when to stop, to make sure you’re not trying to over do it because the person on the mat next to you can reach their toes without any effort, or so it seems, or because in your head you should be able to do a posture a certain way.
Listening, observing, compassion, empathy… those are words that go well with Yin.
So if you want to experiment and see for yourself if it’s for you … you can join me every Sunday at 6pm in Muswell Hill.

If you don’t have time to practice regularly during the week, why don’t you join me this Saturday for a 2 hour workshop combining a strong (ish) Hatha with a soft yin?
An hour to strengthen and exercise, an hour to soften and relax.
And some time at the end, if you want to, to chat, share, exchange and get back to your life feeling like a nearly new person 😘.

This Saturday, from 5 to 7pm in the Oakforrest house, Summerland gardens, Muswell Hill.
Parking is easy as there is the M&S car park, you can also come by bus and it leaves you 2mn from the place.

Comment below or private message if you have any questions or wish to book.
£30 to feel new, refreshed and relaxed !!

I am raising my joy. Increasing my happiness. During the last day-retreat I organised in Hatfield, we made a list of those things that make us happy, those people, places, experiences that bring joy in our lives.

For me it’s practising Yoga and learning about it. It is also spending time in France with my mum and my family, spending time with my friends.
So this week this is what I am doing : practising yoga every day, taking classes, learning something about it every day. Spending some time with my mum, taking her here and there, chatting with her sitting by the fire, watching crap TV and literary programs, with a 🐈‍⬛ on my lap.
And from tomorrow, I will be having fun with three of my friends, who I have known since my time in Madrid back in the 90s! Chatting, reminiscing, eating, probably a glass or two of wine, walking by the sea, enjoying being together.
Having a lovely time.

And you, what do you do to raise joy in your life? How do you look after yourself?
Comment below, and remember that it is not indulgence but a necessity. Because life is too short and it is important to seize the day!
Carpe Diem!

Yin yoga and yoga nidra in the heart of Muswell Hill, on Sunday evenings from 6 to 7:15pm. A small, gentle, slow class, open to any level of fitness. Just come as you are, leave feeling rested, stretched, relaxed, ready to take on the week ahead. Every week has a theme, we set an intention, reflect upon it while gently working the body and slowing down the mind. No experience needed. Just wanting some ME time. And a beautiful sense of community.

Are you looking after yourself? How is your diet? Are you eating healthily? How about regular check-ups? Specially after 50… , blood pressure, bone density, cervical screaming and mammograms… There is so much to do isn’t there?! How about your mental health? Are you taking some regular time off? Having some Me Time, some time to do nothing, let yourself be carried and held… ? This is what I offer in my classes and my retreats, a space for women to look after themselves, listen to their bodies and be listened to and looked after. My time table on the pictures and the day retreat this Saturday. And for good measure, to try to beat the algorithm 😂😂, a picture of myself.

Teenagers… teenagers are moody, sensible, fun, adventurous, resilient, strong, scared, daring, loving, hating, sensitive, lazy, curious, different, strong willed, and the list goes on and on and on… Teenagers are … complex human beings… so, a bit like you and me!?! But slightly different because they have some hormones wreaking havoc in their system. Some of them. And they prefer to be with their friends than with adults or strangers. A bit like us…!? This is why I hold yoga classes special teens. It is a normal yoga class, but slightly different… A bit more yoga philosophy, a bit more rest, a lot more improvisation on my part so I can adapt to how they are that day. They come as they are, they usually leave feeling better, rested and relaxed. No competition, no judgement. The classes are every Tuesday at 5:30pm and every Wednesday at 4:30pm.

: yesterday I turned 57 😱. But the thing is I don’t feel it. In my head I am about 35. And in my body most days, 40 at most. I may or may not look it, it does not really matter and is a bit irrelevant to me to be honest. Well of course, who am I kidding I’d rather be told that I don’t look 57 than I do, but the most important is that I don’t FEEL it. And for that, I am grateful and lucky. I do look after my body, obviously, I make sure I eat properly, exercise etc but there is a lot genetic luck and luck in general with our health. I am lucky to be healthy, with a very well functioning body and alive. And I think of my friends who are not here anymore and should be, the ones who are unwell… so I want to honour today my luck, my body. However imperfect it may be. And you, what do you want to honour? What are you feeling grateful for?
