Love this as during the week there was a focus on twisting and how to get deep into this.

I am currently building my schedule for next year and have found some great venues for half-day retreats (Rest and Restore) and weekend retreats so watch this space.

"Save the dates" for a weekend retreat in May and September next year, possibly December this year if there is enough interest. I will also be running a "Goal setting/Vision boarding" half-day work in Jan/Feb.

"Save the date" for a trip to Sedona in 2027, dates tbc but likely a week in the period from July to October. I am taking indications of interest for this as I think this could be a really special trip - a week in the energy of Sedona is the best.

As I finalise dates over the next couple of weeks, and hopefully have my website up, they will all be on there.

Happy Alignment October.
Alignment in yoga is far more than following textbook instructions or striving for aesthetic perfection. It is a practice of self-care, awareness, and respect for the body’s unique structure.

October is all about alignment and what better time to reflect on why alignment is important in yoga. Let's get aligned and transform. A few reminders of why it's important below.

Yoga, an ancient practice rooted in physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines, is celebrated for its transformative effects on the body and mind. Within the multitude of yoga traditions and styles, alignment stands out as a foundational principle. It refers to the precise way in which the body should be positioned in each pose (asana) to maximise benefits and minimise risks.

Alignment in yoga refers to the optimal placement of the body’s bones and joints in each pose. It is not about achieving a “perfect” shape, but about finding a version of the pose that is safe and accessible for each individual. Good alignment takes into account anatomical differences, flexibility, strength, and personal comfort, allowing practitioners to experience the full benefits of each asana.

Taking this approach we:
- prevent injury
- improve the effectiveness of the poses from the flow of energy to strength and flexibility
- build greater body awareness and cultivates a deeper connection between mind and body on and off the mat
- supports progression through establishing a really strong foundation.

for example starting with standing - take 10 minutes. :-)

I’m starting to plan workshops and retreats over the next 18 months, including an overseas retreat (keeping the location quiet for now) but keen to know what people are interested in. Give me your thoughts and .. let’s see if they match mine 😁🙏

Not that we do this version often in class these days but a confirmation that it is an asana 😁🙏. I often get the ‘you’re joking’ reaction 👍🏻. Nite that they zoomed in on the person able to get up into the pose / it’s not easy

Here’s the truth. Have read this quote a few times in yoga classes.
