The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.
Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.
And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.
"Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth".
. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight
Life is a gift β€ a Happy winter to you all...

Hello my lovely yogis - I'm so sorry to share our news so late! π
Our beautiful baby girl was born on the 23rd December at home in the workshop attic space - it was an incredibly positive experience which went entirely to plan thanks to a little trust in the universe & nature's ability to safely bring our daughter onto this planet!
She weighed 5lb 12oz and is absolutely beautiful - can't believe she's now one month old π
This photo was not arranged - we just spotted her on the sofa in a perfect meditation posture - she's obviously picked up a thing or two from her Momma & Papa! π ###

Thanks so much to my beautiful friend Devon for helping me capture these moments at 36wks pregnant...
Sending so much love to all of my wonderful Yogis & friends during these exciting times in my life. Can't wait to be back on the mat with you, but also enjoying every moment of this time I'm spending connecting with myself & my baby π
I have learnt a lot about myself in the past nine months & feel nothing but excitement for the next chapter of my life with my incredible partner ππ
Hope you're all doing well - would be so lovely to hear from some of you!
Love & Light

Taking some ever-important 'me-time' today - exploring my 'new local stomping grounds' & discovering what gluten free vegan food is available! (Often there's nothing so I'm really out of the habit of even bothering!)
β
After a few months of cooping myself up a bit & solely enjoying nature & what there is to explore right on my doorstep, it's lovely to get out a bit & reassert some independence!
β
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful summery day we have received, look after yourselves & I'm sending lots of love & positive energy.
Hope to see some of you on the mat on Thursday - Zoom @ 7:30pm for Deeply Restorative π

βOm Runa Yogaβ has been inspired by my affinity for yoga as well as my wonderful home Narrowboat Runa. I try to live a simple & wholesome life, enjoying the nature that surrounds me up and down the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal. My primary aim is to bring my classes to as many different towns & villages along the canal to spread my passion for yoga & meditation & all of its many benefits, particularly in improving mental health.
Everyday I learn more about truly living a yogic lifestyle - incorporating more of the philosophy of yoga into my daily life and surrendering myself to the incredible benefits it has for the body, mind & soul.
As a yoga teacher, I want to share these many benefits by not only teaching you yoga on the mat and improving your physical well-being, but also sharing with you how yoga & meditation is incredible for your emotional & mental welfare as well.
In my classes I aim to use a relaxed approach, creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable and able to take some time to focus on themselves β I also ensure my classes are accessible to all by progressing gradually, building a good foundation & incorporating more variation overtime. I take a friendly approach & encourage everyone that yoga is to be enjoyed by absolutely everyone with any body.
By gently introducing various methods & traditions from yoga philosophy and combining these with our asana practice on the mats, my classes leave people feeling calmed, refreshed & positive.
Current schedule:
Tuesdays > Yoga Flow for All @ 5:45pm
Thursdays > Gentle Restorative Yoga @ 5:45pm
Sundays > Gentle Yin Yoga @ 10:30am
The Elizabeth Mills Centre, Stourport
Wednesdays > Restorative @ 6:30pm
The KSCA, Kinver

or I offer different bulk booking options...
4 classes per calendar month for Β£28 (which works out at Β£6.50 per class)

I also offer 1:1 private classes in your own homes, tailored to your own requirements, all props provided, 1hr for up to two clients for Β£32 - please get in contact if you might be interested.
Over the next couple of months I am hoping to set up more classes near the Staffs & Worcs Canal (including Kidderminster), so please get in touch if you live in an area without a nearby group.
Donβt hesitate to contact me if you have any queries & we hope to practice with you soon!
