There are days when I don’t feel like practicing yoga. But, I know these are the days when I need yoga the most, and I always feel amazing afterwards! 💫☺️🕉️

We don't have to wait to feel motivated. Instead, take action, get on the mat 🧘🏻‍♀️, and this will create our motivation 🙏🏻

Yoga helps my nervous system settle, and my mind become still.
Life feels smoother, easier, and I’m far more effective when I make space for it.

So I remind myself, giving time to yoga makes everything else more manageable.
I may not always feel like doing it, but I never regret it once I’m done.🌿✨🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🕉️♥️🌱

At 101, Dorothea continues to roll out her yoga mat. When you have a strong spirit and your heart is open you can show that age is just a number!!! Dorothea’s dedication, grace, and vitality inspire us all to keep moving, keep breathing, and keep believing in what’s possible. 🧘‍♀️✨

Dorothea Barron maintains a fitness regime many half her age would struggle with – and says she feels as sprightly as she did at 16

🌿✨🧘🏻‍♀️Find Freedom in Your Hips with Iyengar Yoga 🌱🕉️💫
Do your hips ever feel tight, achy, or just a bit stuck? You’re not alone, most of us carry so much tension there without even realising it.
In my Iyengar Yoga classes, we take time to really understand how the hips work, by using props, correct alignment, and my mindful sequence to bring balance, space, and strength back into this vital area.
✨ When your hips are aligned, everything else starts to flow more easily, from your lower back to your knees and even your posture.
Each class is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years. Together, we’ll explore safe, supported ways to open and strengthen the hips, helping you move with more comfort and freedom in daily life.
🧘‍♀️ Come join us and give your hips some love!

🌱✨🙏🏻As we grow older, it’s common to see the upper back begin to round — what’s often called a “stoop.” This can affect balance, breathing, and confidence.
The good news? Regular Iyengar Yoga practice can help prevent and even reduce this postural change.
Through alignment-based asanas, supported by props, we strengthen the spinal muscles, open the chest, and restore natural uprightness — safely and progressively.

It’s never too late to stand tall, breathe freely, and move with grace.

Feeling the pressures of life, Is it making you anxious and overwhelmed?

🌿💫🕉️ In Iyengar practice, attention is drawn to subtle details ⭐️ the angle of the foot, the length of the spine, the direction of the gaze.
This mindful focus anchors you in the present moment, pulling awareness away from racing thoughts.
Over time, this cultivates mental clarity and self-observation without judgment, helping to break the cycle of anxiety.

Iyengar Yoga offers a structured way to find calm ⭐️ even if you’ve never stepped on a yoga mat before.

You don’t need to be flexible — just curious. 🌱 🧘‍♀️ ✨🙏🏻

🌿💫 🕉️Parivrtta Parsvakonasana 🧘‍♀️🌱🙏🏻
⭐️ strengthens the legs and the muscles around the abdomen, back and pelvis (core), by engaging the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves, and activates the abdominal muscles and obliques to maintain the twist and balance.
⭐️ Improves spinal flexibility and mobility. The twist lengthens and decompresses the spine, and enhances rotational mobility of the thoracic spine.
⭐️ Stimulates digestion and detoxification. The abdominal twist massages internal organs (like liver, kidneys, intestines)and can help in improving digestion and elimination.
⭐️ Opens the chest and shoulders, which helps counteract slouching and poor posture.
⭐️ Improves breathing by opening the rib cage and diaphragm.
⭐️ Improves balance and coordination
⭐️ Requires focus and awareness of body alignment.
