As well as having my studio for classes I have worked for over 10 years at All seasons leisure centre Chorley. This morning I was moved into a bigger hall to accommodate 30 people for Iyengar yoga and movement. These lovely men & women attend regularly and some do my spin sessions to. I’m extremely greatful for their commitment #iyengaryogateacher #movement #playfulpracticeyoga #happy #community

I t's T u e s d a y!

Thank you for your comments on Meditation.
Mindfulness and meditation does confuse people. Although they have similarities they are different.
In Patanjali' yoga sutras :
111.2 tatra Pratyaya ekatanata dhyanam

A steady continuous flow of attention directed towards the same point or region is meditation. (dhyana)

In meditation psychological and chronological time come to a stand still, as the mind observes it's own behaviour. A remaining stable, smooth and constant as oil pouring form a jug.

Dhyana - is more concerened with the elimination of fluctuating thought-waves in order to achieve single pointed concentration. The emphasis is on the maintenance of steady and profound contemplative observation.
Sounds simple doesn't it so why do we find it so hard to observe our minds behaviour??? I started meditation expecting all kinds of wonderful images, and answers to everything, and kept thingkning I was doing it wrong. Through regular attempts at it I found myself observing more and more space in between my thoughts. It cleared out the noise so I was able to then return back with a clarity and calm.

So the question I now ask is would you look to start practising it or get better at it if you already currently do it? #meditation #yogaplacenorth #calm #patanjali #philosophy #yoga

G O O D M O R N I N G 😀

I’ve just spent 10 minutes sitting quietly and breathing, connecting with my breath and and concentrating on my body’s reactions. 💚

Mornings are a challenge for most of us in terms of being organised. I started introducing this 10 min breathing 2 years ago after deciding that my mornings where not good enough and didn’t set a good example to my little boy. We used to set off arguing about getting ready and out the door in time! 🤦‍♀️ Since introducing it our mornings are a lot quieter and I’m more organised. I give myself space to calm within a whirlwind of getting out the door. 😀
My anxiety dropped dramatic, I became more connected, less rushed, more organised and this is coming from someone who said they don’t have time to do that! 😆
We really do have time and it’s an investment to your health.
I’ve encouraged a few students to implement it and it worked a treat for them to which is positive to hear.
How many of you do something similar let me know.
Namaste 🙏 xxx. #organisedmum #positivethinking #lessanxiety #yogaplacenorth #setupyourdaytheposativeway #happy

How do you set yourself up for the day? 🤔 do you know how we get started in the morning can really influence our day. Are you always stressed or late? Being organ reduces stress. Easy right? If you like me it can be crazy in a morning, so any hacks to get a better start are welcoming. I’d be interested to know if you have a routine or not? #posativeday #mindfulstarttotheday #yoga #yogaplacenorth

I have spent the day starting as I mean to go on. De cluttering & clearing out. Clutter is the kinks in the chain of energy so if you want to change the energy around your life start to de clutter. Start with the easy things, clothes, shoes etc. Then move onto your rooms, antics and even the people you associate with. I know that seems harsh but we hall have those people around us that take all the time so it’s time to move them to the outer circle so you can concentrate your energy in the right direction. #clearing #energyclearing #newpossibilities #yoga #mindfulness #reiki

A beautiful morning at the studio today with my pregnant ladies.#yoga #pregnancy #mumstobe2019 #yogaplacenorth

Instagram post 2188532097415806643_1814879825

Just spent all morning preparing for tomorrows gathering with my pregnant ladies, which I'm looking forward to.

It's such a joy to be a able to work with pregnancy students and help them enjoy their pregnancy with yoga, breath work and nutrition. Many ladies get nervous about doing yoga during pregnancy but with the right guidance from a qualified teacher in this area, it is totally safe.
It's great to be able to put my training in this field together along side the Iyengar method to provide safe sequences of poses using supports, specifically for each stage of the journey, to take you from trying to conceive to after your delivery and back in to normal classes.
Enjoy the lovely sunny day I'm off for a Dog walk soon! #pregnancy #yoga #healthy #yogaplacenorth

Something New this Friday at Yoga Place North
Introduction to Sound healing

Instagram post 2127064668982905879_1814879825

I love helping people improve and achieve their goals. Helping them to understand the benefits of Iyengar yoga and how it gives you a deep understanding of your body and how it works. How to improve bad habits that have formed over time which hinder your movement and health. I was teaching today the benefits of how iyengar layers in appropriately what is needed. Working on your foundations not the end game to soon. My students favours a 3 point head stand from other yoga methods he’s done, but today he felt the benefits of learning the foundations Iyengar style! He’s growing and developing into his goal of urdhva dhanurasana. Progression #stability #strength #iyengar #yogaplacenorth #development

4 classes into our new courses and I’m overwhelmed by the response. It seems you have all missed the beautiful benefits of my yoga courses. Your welcomes, hugs & gifts have been amazing and your full commitment to getting back on your mat puts a smile to my face.
It has made me confirm I love what I do and I absolutely love the Iyengar method a good strong tradition way of the yoga life.
New faces have joined us with enthusiasm and returning students welcome them with help and encouragement. I could not ask for more.
Great to also be working with more pregnant students to, as well as coaching back those who have just had their babies. 🥰

I am fully committed to guiding you on what ever journey you are on. My journey is ongoing and there are twists and turns along the way, but I know these are to test me to make me a better person & teacher. I’m glad you’ve have put your trust in me as I have so much to share with you on the road ahead.

This is perfect for those who want to improve their posture or home practice, or if you just want a better understanding of your poses on a personal level this is perfect for you.
Do you have a back, neck or shoulder problem due to your job or activities you like such as Running, cycling or gardening and you want to move better without pain?
Maybe you prefer a more restorative approach as you need some quiet time to wind down from work and life?
This is for you!

Working on backbends can evoke fear inside however this morning we had lots of confidence building towards them. We have been working over the weeks on good foundations and alignment of or bodies structures to extend backwards. Building strength in our posterior is key to the success of good posture to. #fun #iyengaryoga #yogaplacenorth
