Love & Light Yoga with Natalie Blakeman

Love & Light Yoga with Natalie Blakeman Welcome and thank you for taking a look around Love & Light Yoga with Natalie. If you have any questions, I am happy to help… Love & Light,
Natalie

Love & Light Yoga with Natalie was born in 2012 when I qualified as a Yoga teacher. I first started my practice at the age of 17 and was amazed at the transformations I saw happening to my body, mind and outlook on life. I knew I had to share this wonderful practice with others so I committed myself to a 4 year course and here I am, still teaching today. I have taught in a variety of venues across the Staffordshire Moorlands, including health spas, gyms, schools, wellbeing clinics and held workshops for Staffordshire Yoga Fellowship, mental health charities and woodland wellbeing retreats. Over the years my offerings have grown so now you can find classes for not only Hatha Yoga but also Meditation, Baby Massage, Pregnancy Yoga, Postnatal Yoga, Children’s Yoga and Celtic wheel of the year celebrations. If I'm not on my mat or with my family, you will find me in the garden or walking in the countryside with my dog. I love being out in Nature and use the cycles, seasons, elements, Celtic Wheel of the Year and nature connection as my guides when offering a Yoga practice. My classes are deeply connected to Mother Earth and I love to weave in my knowledge of tree and animal spirit medicine, the Goddess archetypes, crystals, essential oils and Ayurveda to add extra depth and encompass all of what I love! I offers lots of alternative postures in my classes, so there is something for all students whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level. If you would like to come and roll out your mat with us, please do get in touch.

It’s easy to get caught up in collating more ‘stuff’ at this time of the year.

Buying your loved ones an ‘experience’ is a nice alternative and in my opinion is made even nicer when it’s all about well-being ☺️

If you’re looking for gift ideas, here’s a friendly reminder that we have gift vouchers available that can be used for group and one to one Yoga classes, weekend retreats, workshops and special events.

Give the gift of well-being this Christmas ☺️

How lovely are these words. They stopped me in my tracks and made me think about slowing down.

Over the past weeks I have felt myself getting sucked into the ‘doing’ with rare moments of stillness, contemplation and dreaming.

Umm, this poem is a timely reminder for me ahead of our big slowing down at the Winter Solstice.

We have our last Following the Flow - a time to gather to take stock, be still, contemplate and dream - just as is needed. It’s great to do this alone, but even nicer to do this as a community - all looking over our journeys from the year and sharing our stories to inspire and uplift each other.

If you would like to join us to stop and gather your precious morsel of stillness and time, come join us.

Friday 19th December
7pm - 9pm
Ipstones Memorial Hall.

Our last day time Yoga class at Dilhorne is tomorrow at 11.30am and we are going out on a high!

Anyone else enjoying the sight of the starry night skies at the moment? ✨✨✨

I known it’s cold and you have to de-ice the car in the morning, but I think it’s worth it for the sight of the stars and Moon!

We had full view of the magical, waxing crescent Moon on way to Yoga this evening 🌙 The perfect start to our current Yoga theme of exploring Chandra and all of its cyclical phases.
🌑🌘🌗🌕🌓🌒🌑

The moon carries the qualities of:
Compassion
Rest
Intuition
Emotional intelligence
Empathy
Healing
Dream time
Nurture
Nourishment

And we’ve been embodying some of these throughout our class.

Today, we plugged into compassion as we sent the Metta Mantra out to someone we find difficult - you know that person - we all have at least one that comes to mind whether it’s someone you know personally or a certain celebrity or politician - the person that grates on you, the person who has hurt you and caused you sorrow. I gave the class a tall order today and asked them to find their forgiveness, to rise above it, to be courageous and find their loving kindness and to send the Metta Mantra to them.

May they be peaceful.
May they be in good health.
May they be safe.
May they be free from suffering.

Not easy to do. But sorrow, anger and resentment are heavy burdens to carry… maybe in the light of this waxing moon, there’s a new way. A way forwards that feels lighter.

During this Thursday’s evening Yoga class we will be sending the age old Buddhist mantra to all the humans beings on this planet, followed by the week after - all creatures on this planet and finally to Mother Earth herself.

Feel free to come and join us - let’s raise the vibration together!

Our year long journey through the Earth celebrations is nearly complete 🌀

Our last Following the Flow is on 19th December 7pm - 9pm where we will meet to mark Yule - a time of deep dreaming, rest, recalibration and sweet healing.

If you feel you need:
Time to slow down and step out of daily life to clear, cleanse, re-evaluate and re-align with the inner and outer landscapes.

Time to connect with yourself and others.

Time to tune into the seasons and appreciate the here and now.

Time for self care and nourishment.

Time away from technology and a grounded, simple approach to life where you are welcome just as you are.

This is for you 🤍

Maybe you love Yoga and movement and want to explore how this can flow with the different seasons.

Maybe you are drawn to leading a more Earth based life and wonder how this can look and work in the modern World.

Maybe you have heard of the Earth celebrations and wish to deepen your understanding of them.

If you are feeling the call, come and join us for a journey that blends Yoga and Meditation with Nature to leave you feeling aligned, nourished and humming with wellbeing.

Suitable for beginners to the well practiced. Please bring along a mat and blanket if possible.

Exchange: £16.50 per class

Upcoming 2025 dates:

Winter Solstice 19th December 2025 7pm - 9pm

Last call to join us for a cosy Sunday afternoon with Wellness Reflexology 🤲🏼👣

Please let me know if you would like to come and join us. Adults and children 5+ welcome 😊

Things are changing over here at Love & Light Yoga.

I’m trying not to do anything too drastic too soon but my body is really asking me to strengthen my boundaries and know my worth. Two things I’ve not been great at in the past, but now seem to be demanding more attention.

So here goes… I’ve decided to bring my daytime class at Dilhorne to an end. I’ve loved offering these slow, steady classes and so appreciate the support of those who have come along and the venue for hosting us but numbers just aren’t healthy enough. Our last class will be on Thursday 27th November.

My Tuesday evening Ipstones Yoga class also has a question mark over it. I’m going to try with a change of time to see if this helps so from January our start time will be 5.45pm. I’m hoping this slight change of time isn’t too disruptive for the people who already come along and makes the class more accessible to those who work. Let’s see what happens over January….

I can’t express how important it is to support your small community groups in your local area. Get involved and give things a try. Myself and countless others hire these village halls as a way to offer to the people who live in rural areas and without you coming along, these classes/ groups will cease to exist.

Please go and check out what is on at your local village halls. It’s a great way to meet people in your area and to keep the community rich and vibrant with events and classes.
