A look back filled with nothing but gratitude🥰🙏

To everyone who shared their energy, trust, and time with Adore Asanas Yoga this year, you made it magical.

To honor this incredible cycle of growth, I'm taking time to truly rest and integrate. I will be unplugging from all work and socials from tomorrow, 22nd December 2025, until the 7th January 2026.

(Don't worry, any pre-scheduled posts are just little ghosts of me saying hi so you don't forget I exist 👻😂)

Thank you for being the heart of this wonderful community. Wishing you a peaceful and restorative holiday season. I'll return in the new year, recharged and ready for our next chapter.

With love and deep thanks,

Chris 😊✌️🫶

Let’s play a game. Try saying this three times fast: Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana (Are-dah Bah-dah Pod-mah Pash-ee-moh-tahn-AH-sah-nah)😜

Now, let me show you my version of the asana. You'll notice something...there’s no bind 🤔 My body, in this season of life, warmly accepts the half-lotus and the forward fold, and politely says “no, thank you” to the bind. And that is perfect👌

This is your gentle reminder:
A yoga pose is not a one size fits all diagram. It is a template for a feeling. The true form of any asana is the one that creates space, awareness, and ease in your body, on your mat, today.

Why Letting Go of the "Full Expression" is a Superpower:
🪷 Strength in Awareness: Choosing a variation means you’re listening deeply. That’s the highest form of strength.
🪷 Wisdom in Adaptation: Your body is not a statue, it’s a living, changing ecosystem. Honoring that is wisdom.
🪷 Growth in Letting Go: The willingness to release the "ideal" shape often leads to a deeper, more authentic experience of the pose’s essence, like the profound calm of this forward fold.

There is no "better" or "worse". Only different paths to the same destination, a state of presence😌

Drop a 💪 below if you’ve ever felt empowered by choosing your own variation over the “full pose.” Let’s celebrate adaptive, intelligent practice together😊✌️🫶

My beautiful, soul-stirring solfeggio frequency tubes have officially landed!

Cue the cosmic tingles, the deep sighs, and all the good vibes. I am SO excited to weave their healing harmonies into our sessions. And guess what? These beauties have a greater purpose waiting in the wings for next year… but my lips are sealed for now! 🤫 Can you feel the anticipation?🤪

But first! A final festive flurry with you all this weekend…

My LAST GROUP CLASS of the year is TOMORROW (Saturday) morning at 7:45am, Redcar Leisure Centre. Let's flow and glow together one more time!

And then, my final event of 2025. I’ll be part of the magnificent Grand Gong Bath in Beamish this Sunday, 6pm. It’s going to be epic! I’ll be playing my handpan AND introducing these gorgeous new tubes to the soundscape. You won’t want to miss it.

If our paths don’t cross this weekend, I’m sending you the biggest virtual wave of peace and love.

Wishing you the merriest Christmas and a New Year filled with profound peace, healing, and magical new beginnings.

Thank you for all your beautiful energy this year. Here’s to 2026😊✌️🫶

✨ FREE Sound Healing Session: Rest & Rejuvenate ✨
📍 Jasper Community Space, Stockton-on-Tees
📅 Wednesday 28 January 2026
⏰ 6:00PM — 7:00PM
💷 Free to attend

This Rest & Rejuvenate Sound Healing Session is a thank you.....its a gentle sanctuary for people services — emergency response teams, firefighters, police, paramedics, NHS staff, RNLI, charity and youth workers, volunteers and social services-childrens services.

It’s our way of saying thank you and offering a space where your nervous system can finally soften, breathe, and release.

You’ll be held in a cocoon of soothing sound and grounding frequencies designed to dissolve stress and quiet the noise you carry from long shifts, heavy days, and emotional weight. It’s a moment that asks for nothing from you except to just be.

🧘‍♂️ Bring if you can:
• Yoga mat
• Small pillow
• Cover/throw
• Water
• Notebook & pen
• Eye cover
• Your job ID 💼 (so you can access the session)

This space is here to help your whole system reset — body, mind, spirit— and remind you that you deserve care too. 🌙💛

📍 Unit 6, Harley Court, Preston Farm, Stockton-on-Tees TS18 3WB

When you’re in the flow, you just want to push through… even if your poncho has other plans🫣🤣

Like Yoga, I always record myself during practice in case there's an idea I want to revisit, or like this reel, my flow is disrupted and I loose my train of thought.

This handpan session turned into a little lesson I keep re-learning. Sometimes, the very thing we’re pushing against is a sign to pause, not power through.

There’s a quote I love that gets to the heart of it:

“You only struggle because you're ready to grow but aren't willing to let go.” — Drew Gerald.

We often think struggle is a wall to break down. But what if it’s actually a knot? The more you pull and push, the tighter it gets (just like my hands in this poncho!). The growth happens not by forcing, but by releasing the old way, the rigid plan, the belief that “pushing” is the only form of effort.

The handpan teaches flow. The poncho, apparently, teaches surrender. The music only truly found its rhythm again when I stopped fighting the fabric.

Maybe your “poncho” today is a situation that feels tangled. Try a gentle release, not a harder push.
