Azahara YOGA

01/03/2026

Moments of yoga from the last year.
When I talk to my friends about why I am doing yoga, it always takes me back years and years to where I was, and I never, in my Wildest dreams, thought I would end up teaching yoga. In my early twenties, I graduated with a BA in Advertising and PR (five years of university). I always thought I would end up working in advertising at an advertising agency… little did I know at the time.
I discovered yoga purely for health reasons (suggested by my doctor, as I was expecting a child and my back was not the best). I didn't get in live with yoga instantaneously, it was not an inline dating love bombing style, no, it was slow, like when you realise one day that you actually love your best friend, that friend who has been by your side at your lowest and your best, never pretending anything but always being there next to you when you needed him. When I did my teacher training, I didn't know anything, I didn't have any plans, I didn't know how this industry worked, what certifications I needed for teaching (or if I needed anything extra than my qualification as a yoga teacher). I knocked on all the doors, only one half opened, I went for a test and failed (I still found it hard to know how to teach: one thing is doing yoga, another thing is guiding g your students along the class with all the poses… that day I learnt it was not that simple). When I found those doors closed, I didn't give up; I got all the equipment I needed and started teaching aerial yoga. In my first class, I had only one student. I remember asking a friend of mine to come to the class, so we would be at least three of us. That's how I started, with almost empty classes but keeping being there, giving my best as a teacher, improving my classes, my flows, my skills, studying more, gaining other qualifications.
There's always much more behind what you see. Never let a no stop you from reaching your goal.
And what's my favourite part of teaching yoga? How the energy shifts before the class and after the class. You feel it, you sense it and it is beautiful.
If you want come to one of my classes, I am teaching today at 6.15 pm and 7.20 pm in Highbury N5.

Our next class is tomorrow, Sunday, at 6.15 pm (one-hour class) or 7.20 pm (30-minute class) in Highbury N5. A 10-minute stroll from Highbury & Islington overground and underground station. We always finish our classes with a mild stretch and a sweet supine twist before letting ourselves go into shavasana, our final relaxation pose.
I remember when I used to go to yoga classes, there was always somebody leaving as soon as we started shavasana. The final relaxation pose of shavasana is the broche of your full practice, as important a part of your yoga class as the rest of the asanas you do.
Once, one of my teachers in my yoga teacher training told me that, for Westerners, that's the hardest pose to do because it requires being static for some time. His remark caught me by surprise, but now I understand it completely. In a society that rewards action, we view inaction as negative (or unnecessary). Following this trail, it also explains why some people struggle to dedicate time to resting (with the idea of “I am wasting my time”). Every single thing in this world has its polarity, and both are needed for it to exist. There is no movement without stillness, no joy without sorrow, no day without night and so on. I’m not sure where the idea of cataloguing some of them as positive and the opposite as negative comes from, but in reality, there is no such thing. Both are needed for this order of things exist. So, yeah, remember, savasana is important, honour it, relax and rest in your savasana, and enjoy it x.

Cocoon pose is by far my favourite resting pose in aerial Yoga. You let yourself go and feel the swing embracing you. You are suspended in the air, feeling lightless, gently arching your back, hugging your knees, resting on your chest, as your lower back completely decompresses. It feels just so good! I could easily sleep in this position.
If you would like to try it, I am teaching this Sunday at 6.15 pm, a one-hour class (a few spots still left available) and a 30-minute class (more spaces available). You can book your spot here in the link in BIO.

If you are thinking about a private Aerial yoga event, you can book it now in the link in BIO. Private Yoga events are available for up to 14 participants. Any questions, DM me or email me.

My next aerial yoga group class is this Sunday at 6.15 pm in Highbury N5. A one hour pure aerial yoga flow class.
Aerial yoga is about precision alignment. I always demonstrate the asanas so my students know what we are after. The beauty of Aerial yoga is seeing something effortless when, in reality, it requires a strong technique. This is something I am borrowing from my training in aerial circus skills and pole dance. It looks easy, but believe me, it is not.
For me, the key benefit of aerial yoga (if I only have to choose one) would be the openness you feel in your body (the sensation of lightness and decompression that openness gives you). That would be the one physical key benefit of aerial yoga. The internal, mental key element of aerial yoga, undoubtedly for me, is the quick gaining of mindfulness, the full focus on the now and present.
Those are the main reasons why, among all types of yoga, as a yogi, aerial yoga is by far my favourite.
If you'd like to join me in my next class, there are still a few spots available. As you know, spots are limited. You can book yours in the link in BIO (for the one-hour class at 6.15 pm or the 30-minute class at 7.20 pm).

Sometimes it is about letting go -> my next all-levels aerial yoga class is on Sunday, 1st of March, at 6.15 pm (and 7.20 pm for a 30-minute taster aerial yoga class).
Sometimes it is just about letting go. This is called the Cocoon pose: you are embraced by the swing hanging up the ceiling. It is when we let go that w truly appreciate the power of the now, the present, the trusting. Often we spend our days taking decisions, at work, what are we eating, what are w wearing, what are we doing this weekend… and just letting go feels extremely beautiful. It relaxes your mind, it relaxes your body. Possibly this is one of my favourite poses of aerial yoga. You just need to try it to know.
Limited spots available, as always. You can book yours in the link in BIO.
Happy Friday!

I have been practising yoga for 17 years and teaching for 7. Yesterday I was having a conversation about yoga and fitness in general. Perhaps unpopular opinion, but no, I don’t do yoga every day. I used to do yoga and work out every day, for 2-3 hours. I was exhausted, always hungry and feeling big despite training so much. Then one day, my body said enough, and I stopped it all. Only a year later, I went back to do my own yoga practice here and there when I felt like doing it. Now, it's been about 6-7 months that I do a very short workout (no more than 10 minutes) every day, focusing on very specific parts of my body. And for now, that feels good. Reading a few years ago, I found out why I felt big while training so much. Apparently, that’s something called overtraining, so your body reacts that way—kind of bloating (not exactly, but that’s the idea). I am a firm believer in listening to your body. If you feel like having some sugar, have it. If you see a pattern in that, maybe check why. Perhaps you need protein (sugar gives you a boost of energy, when we always feel tired that boost keeps us going , but perhaps your diet hasn’t been great lately and what you need is to improve your diet instead of having always sugar. Take this as my personal opinion, based on my experience, I am not talking here as a professional nutritionist). Same with exercise, listen to your body, it will tell you what it needs.
I was always a sport lover: I started playing tennis when I was 7 or so and only a double knee injury took me off it when I was 14-15. I have been on all stages with sport and exercise, from being very active to completely stopping (that's meet in my late teens and most of my twenties), to go back to it during my pregnancy in my late twenties and continue it consistently until now. And that's the key: consistency. It is not about how much you do, but of much it is integrated in your everyday life that becomes a natural thing in you, it is simply a part of you. With yoga, you might not see always how fit a body is, but it is.
