Yoga with Jo Ward

08/12/2025

Join me this December for Yoga at Castlethorpe Village Hall.

Do you need an hour to yourself to reconnect, recharge, and refocus?

We have two more sessions left this December – Wednesday 10th and 17th – and they will focus on a deeply relaxing “take a moment for yourself” class.

Expect gentle, longer-held postures along with calming breathwork to help you feel grounded, rested, and restored.

This class is open to everyone, whatever your level of mobility or experience. You’re invited to move in a way that feels supportive and right for your body.

Come along, feel nourished, and arrive in the holiday season feeling calm and centred.

See you there.

You start yoga thinking, “I just want to get a bit more flexible…”

But no one tells you yoga is hard — really hard.

It takes practice.

It takes consistency.

You’ll plateau.

You’ll fall in love with it… and maybe fall out of love too.

But the journey? So worth it.

Because yoga makes you stronger — in your body and your mind.

And yes, it will make you more flexible… not just physically,

but in the way you see life, handle challenges, and move through the world.

Keep going. Your mat will meet you where you’re at. 💛

The “pause” in Chaturanga usually refers to the brief moment of controlled stillness you hold while lowering from Plank to low push-up (Chaturanga Dandasana).

Builds strength
Building stability
Encourages mindful movement rather than rushing

Controlled stillness

Building your stregth through your yoga practice.
