Amidst the rain glimmers of sun poke through, reminders that Spring is on its way. I keep hearing from so many people that they are tired and a bit weary. I am feeling the same and I don’t know about you but I am leaning more and more toward simplifying my life, clearing out what is no longer need...

How well do you know yourself, how often do you really take time to look within and to listen, to listen to your hearts longing to listen to the whispering of your bodies intelligence. My offerings for September in both yoga and 1:1 movement/coaching are an opportunity to explore the concept of self as defined in the yogic texts. Through an encompassing practice of breath-work, meditative focus and movement we dive into the self.

Hokusai says look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing

He says look forward to getting old.
He says keep changing,
you just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat
yourself as long as it is interesting.

He says keep doing what you love.

He says keep praying.

He says every one of us is a child,
every one of us is ancient
every one of us has a body.
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find
a way to live with fear.

He says everything is alive —
shells, buildings, people, fish,
mountains, trees, wood is alive.
Water is alive.

Everything has its own life.

Everything lives inside us.

He says live with the world inside you.

He says it doesn’t matter if you draw,
or write books. It doesn’t matter
if you saw wood, or catch fish.
It doesn’t matter if you sit at home
and stare at the ants on your veranda
or the shadows of the trees
and grasses in your garden.
It matters that you care.

It matters that you feel.

It matters that you notice.

It matters that life lives through you.

Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength
is life living through you.

He says don’t be afraid.
Don’t be afraid.

Love, feel, let life take you by the hand.

Let life live through you.

LOVE, LAURIE

The view for the beautiful Yogi's at the Estuary Clinic. 💗

It's June Y'all Summer is upon us.
Greetings to you all and thanks so much for taking the time to read my newsletter
Below are detailed all of the classes that I run throughout the week at the Estuary Clinic, Topsham.
The theme this month is Strength Structure and Stability, we will engage with good structural integrity to find both strength and stability in your body. Learn how to engage with the structure of the postures to understand how to be more stable within yourself and how you deal with those around you. Discover how holding clear connections in asanas help gain access to a more open flow of energy in your body and your mind.
Mondays 09.15 - 10.15 this class is run on a Drop - in basis
Wednesdays 09.30 - 10.30 Monthly booking for beginners / improvers
Thursdays 09.30 - 10.30 Monthly booking for level 2 practitioners
Fridays 06.45-07.45 Early bird drop-in
(You can book all classes via my website www.lauriecunningham.co.uk)

I often get asked what is about yoga that I love so much and to be honest the list is endless but if I had to say just one thing it would be the creation of a wonderful community, people coming together from all walks of life all with their own stories and seeing how they grow and evolve in strength, confidence and self awareness and the kindness and respect with which everyone treats each other. This to me is what its about, not whether or not you can touch your toes or balance on your head for hours on end.

You get to choose the thoughts that you give credence to, do you choose thoughts that uplift, enrich and empower you or do you choose thoughts that cause suffering? You get to choose

May you know Health, May you know Peace and May you know Happiness.
With Love
