Sunday afternoon breathing space?
I'm not sure if this will work, but I have lots of short practices hidden away on YouTube and thought it might be an idea to share. Home made, far from perfect but you might enjoy a little nourishing break 💝

One of my favourite mindfulness practices - coming back to yourself, to this moment in this place. In a world of multitasking and scattered attention this is...

Practice planning was an essential in the yoga training I was lucky to experience in the 'Viniyoga' approach. Over four years of intensive training we spent as much time learning the art of sequencing as we did learning to teach the postures.
Very grateful for a thorough grounding in some basic and logically consistent principles...

When we want to maintain or restore Svastha, the inner ecological balance, through the use of yoga postures, we have to choose the right postures and make the correct movements with proper breathing. We must identify appropriate postures and then sequence those postures based on the particular need(s) of the student.

To understand this important principle, try thinking of each posture or asana as a word. Just as we need to put words together in the right order, in order to compose an intelligible and grammatically correct sentence, so Yoga postures should be arranged in a proper sequence, in order to obtain the desired results.

Such a sequence comprises an intelligent, orderly arrangement of the postures that achieve the particular goal of the practice, while being uniquely tailored to the individual. Thus, adapting a sequence of asanas is like crafting a well-worded sentence. It should make sense. It should be articulate. It should form a coherent sequence. And it should satisfy one’s purpose. Thus, arranging a sequence of asanas to fulfil a particular purpose is Vinyasa Krama or the intelligent, orderly and functional steps of a successful asana practice.

Got any plans for Saturday?
Feel you could use a bit of recharge?
Here's an idea - why not join us for a morning of nourishing 'me time'... time to breathe, move and meditate.
I love these mornings - offering easy enjoyable yet very effective practices to reduce the symptoms of stress and help you gather resources for resilience. We do some easy 'no fuss' movement to lift the energy and brighten the brain; breathwork to support emotional balance and mental focus; guided mindfulness and relaxation practices to renew and restore overall wellbeing....
And of course we enjoy a morning cuppa together in the lovely Canal Stores, Cafe!
Enjoy all of this in an atmosphere of warmth, welcome and encouragement - supporting your capacity to live with ease, vitality and connection.
I love to see the regulars, but newcomers are always welcome...
