What we do....

After running my business for over 15 years I’ve dipped in and out of everything. With so many qualifications from dancing, fitness & group exercise I was trying to really define what it is I wanted to offer.

Through the last 12 months I’ve narrowed it down and here it is simple and effective.

If you’d like to work with me you can drop by monthly our join a course.

My next Well being weekend is in May and I have 1 place left up in Cumbria @haybergill and I can’t wait to be in person there with my lovely students.

Bookings open for Reiki & personal coaching just message me for a chat.

The Energy field we live in. Everything that liv

The Energy field we live in.

Everything that lives pulsates with energy which contains information. The human body is surrounded by an energy field which extends outward beyond the fingers around us like a bubble.

It’s a huge information centre and highly sensitive. Just think we are constantly communicating with everything around us.

However learning to listen and feel this means slowing down feeling from your heart and not your head.

This kind of conscious electricity transmits and receives messages to and from person to person all the time. When you feel depleted it’s because you energy has been taken by someone else, you need to learn to protect your self from energy vampires!

You know that feeling when you meet someone and instantly warm to them or you feel that uneasy feeling, that’s your spiritual energy system at work.

Yoga helps us quieten the mind to hear the body’s messages. It teaches us to be in tune with our body and heart ❤️. It’s from this place in the seat of our soul that we can learn to respect our body and give it the love and attention it deserves. To improve our own health and well-being.

A beginners prospective!

I just enjoy getting peoples views on yoga to a better place. With so many different styles out there it’s sometimes a minefield understanding the difference between them.

I often get people saying “I’ve tried it and don’t like it” which I find interesting and always want to challenge that view.

Iyengar yoga isn’t for everyone, I’m not to everyone’s taste as a teacher either and that’s ok. What I can say is if you want to under your body better with a no nonsense approach then that’s what you will get here.

A gentle encouragement to explore your own ways of doing and thinking to bring on new patterns in the body and mind in a very systematic approach.

All abilities and levels are catered for.
If you want to work with me I’d love to hear from you.

Moving to your inner world is not easy!

A lot of people move away from meditation as the whole process of quietly sitting means you face things in your body and mind that may be uncomfortable.

The noise outside us distracts you from dealing with the inner world of emotions pain heart ache which manifests as illness in our physical and mental body.

On Thursday I’ll be doing some very simple techniques to help you learn how to work with this with live, kindness and compassion to yourself.

We will release tension out of the body first before some mindful breathing to quieten us into the space together. #

I’ll be showing to different ways to slow down and release stress with meditation.

In the comfort of your own home all you need is 1 hour and a space to yourself. If you can’t make it you can book and receive the playback to work with anytime.

Yoga not only builds strength but resilience to.

Yoga not only builds strength but resilience to.

When being challenged by the poses to move and bend in ways you didn’t think your body would move, and to overcome fear and stick with it shows you have resilience.

To be consistent in your practice takes effort. Returning to your mat to understand yourself more it’s hard. You find things out you may not like about yourself.
In doing that you also take down barriers and create more freedom in body and mind.

I really enjoyed hosting a 4 day challenge stripping things back to basics to build again in many ways.

I wanted to share some feedback from it as it means a lot to me when people see and feel results.

Triangles are strong and of course have three side

Triangles are strong and of course have three sides. When engineers build structures, they want to make sure it can bear weight. When force is applied it won’t fall down!

The 3 sides working together in compression and tension makes the structure strong. We use triangles in building bridges, roofs, and Trusses.

In a lot of mind work the number 3 is very powerful and can connect cultures together.
In life we have 3 stages, past present and future.
The number 3 is in sacred texts.
The Latin “Omne trium perfectum” translates as “everything that comes in threes is perfect”

Look at the fire triangle you need 3 elements oxygen, heat and fuel for it to work to create energy.

Yet seeds are planted in our minds at young ages that 2’s company 3’s a crowd from our parents and their parents.

We need to rewrite that story as we can see that 3 is strong, powerful and works well as a team.

The day goes in 3’s dawn noon & dusk
Planting cycle in 3’s plant, harvest, dormant
The moon has 3 stages waxing, full & waning.

The strength of 3 people is better than 2 as we can see it offers great support just like a tripod.

Look around and see the triangles and how they support our life, friendships, energy, and in Ayurveda we are made of 3 constitutions which all need to be in balance for us to be healthy.

WEEDING OUT!!

We do this in our garden to make it look beautiful we spend hours bending over weeding getting back ache..... but we don’t spend the same amount on weeding out the body & mind.

Why is that? 🤔
Largely due to the fact we can’t face dealing with our problems and so we distract ourselves with tasks instead. It’s hard graft working on our unwanted weeds and it means facing uncomfortably facts. However it allows space for us to grow and release the unwanted stress accumulated.

This stress in our bod and mind festers and breeds fear, anxiety and Sis-ease in our body.

So stop for a moment and think what is it you want to release to make way to grow this month.

Self care reminder!! 🌸

Making sure your hydrated well helps keeps the digestive system functioning, brain, muscles, fasciae. It’s like putting water in the car to keep the windscreen clear it helps detox the system.

In yoga practice it’s important to drink plenty before and after but not really during if possible. If your needing a drink during an hours class or hour and half it’s a sign you need to up your intake especially in warmer weather.

Start your day with a mug of warm water from the kettle, maybe some lemon and ginger to get the internal system going.

Yoga helps the outer body and works on the internal system also, it’s our job to help our body flourish!

This week I’ve been helping people understand the magic of what Yoga offers, I’m particular the Iyengar yoga method.

I fell in love with it after a car crash as it helped me heal my body due to the amazing teachers and how they understood my needs. They taught me to work my body in a connected way. This was far more than I ever did in my Fitness days.

Since then I have enjoyed sharing this and helping others get back in their body and out of their heads.

Your body is truly amazing what not learn more about it.

As nature lets the light back in and the days grow

As nature lets the light back in and the days grow longer, what seeds have you planted in you mind to help you grow?

I’ve practice yoga for over 18 years and it has helped my deal with grief, anxiety and confusion of where I’m going in life. It’s been a go to medicine to help me get mentally and physically better.

Seeing my students develop and change I feel is a privilege. To be able to share with them the magic of yoga is something I’m passionate about.
If you allow yourself to open the mind and body yoga brings you a gift of living a happy purpose filled life.

It allows you to blossoms grow with clarity in the direction you want to travel in.
The way I teach is far more than just poses when your ready to receive it.

I plant the seeds in the body for you to nurture and grow in your time.

The doors are open soon to book your place to work with me and become more aligned in body, mind and life!

How long have you been practising Yoga poses?
I started a regular yoga practice in 2004
🧡Did you know I have a variety of classes, Beginners, Mixed ability, Intermediates and a specific class for the stiffer body?

What do the poses mean to you?

Why do you do Yoga?
💚For me its was to help me recover from a neck and back injury when I started, but now it's more about calming anxiety, stress, learning the mind body soul connection.

Which pose do you want to improve the most?
🕉 Oh there are a few but I'd say being able to do arm balances.

I'd love to hear from you please share yours below 👇

I have had to learn so much over this last 12 months and I’ve made lots of mistakes along the way. It’s through making those mistakes that I now know things I never would have even looked at before hand.

I love getting things wrong so I can learn and grow. So I can evolve to be better placed to serve you through yoga.

Yoga is about learning new things and surrendering the old ways to grow personally.

I’m dedicated to helping people to flourish and after tonight’s class I had the most beautiful feedback about how I’ve adapted and changed things to help others through these challenging times. It means so much to hear that as I felt like a swan..... paddling for dear life!

So come and get to know me more in my private Facebook group Soul Transformational Tribe where I will be giving free teachings there to help us grow together.

How many times have you put off doing something before you even started?

Honestly the number of times people say to me I’ll start yoga when I’m........
fitter, more time, more flexible, you make it I’ve heard it!

The point of yoga is to help you in that journey. I teach respectfully to your needs, getting to know you and guiding you to get to know yourself.
It’s a two way exchange to get you where you want to be. That can be through a group class or personal coaching. Working on your body or helping you change your mindset there is something for everyone here.

Im not a bendy Wendy as they say it’s taken me time to learn over 15 years and I’m still learning from my senior teachers.
I have a non flowery 🌸 approach it’s like painting by numbers so easy to follow with demonstrations too.

The beauty of online means it’s assessable to all.

Want to give it a try and stop putting it off? Get in touch and we can book a chat.

Urdhva Dhanurasana

Is a pose a lot of people fear. That point of extending backwards gets most people feeling anxious, it’s not normal to us.

Some people also fear it because of previous experiences before working with Iyengar yoga.

What I love when I work with my students is taking them on a journey to build confidence and trust in themselves and me.

We have a solid practice in our foundation poses before we move anywhere near poses like this. We need strong stable legs, good knowledge of extending the spine properly, understanding of the pelvic region and have good working shoulder blades.

All of this we work on in our foundation poses. As we work through them I bring in the process of being mindful in each movement.

To over come fear I work coaching self study as to why fear is present, where is it coming from and re write the story in the mind through the body.

We tend to live life in familiar fixed routines and try to avoid accepting or even feeling what’s beyond the unknown.

I invite people to escape and see what they are capable of once we have all the tools in place to support them.

Are you ready to step out of the ordinary?
I teach differently, no nonsense, straight forward simple methods to help you to transform your life.

Are you ready to grow with me?

Asana practice the 3rd Limb of yoga. Ardha half,

Asana practice the 3rd Limb of yoga.

Ardha half, candra moon, asana pose.

I remember when I stated my yoga journey it was all about the poses and nothing more. I loved the feeling of my muscles working but felt disappointed when I couldn’t do a poses.
Coming from a fitness & dance background I felt I had what was needed to achieve them.

Iyengar Yoga took me to a new level of understanding stability, flexibility and strength!
I loved the clear instructions of how to work the body in a good healthy way, something which was so different to the fitness mind of pushing the body to its limits.

Iyengar yoga is named after B.K.S Iyengar who had an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment in performing the poses.

We often use props such as belts, blankets, blocks even chairs as aids in performing the asanas (poses) to enable each student beginning yoga, the elderly, or those with physical limitations to perform the asanas correctly, minimising the risk of injury or strain.

Each asana helps build strength teaches you how to get stability which intern will increase flexibility.

I wish I had a £1 for every time someone said to me I’m to stiff you do yoga! Your denying yourself freedom in life, iyengar yoga helps you get a good understanding so you can become free.

I am so passionate about helping support others in learning about the body through yoga .

I have a clear no nonsense approach to teaching the asanas and I help people embrace yoga principles and practices, transforming their lives on and off the mat.

If you would like to get to know me and what I do head over to my Soul Transformation Tribe Facebook group where you can get to know me more.
