I woke up this morning and it stuck me,
For once the whole world is working together in this unusual situation 🌎 Mother Earth has taken control and showing us what is like to have your lungs squeezed, to have fear, as we humans have not looked after each other or our planet.
We have cut down earths lungs, we have polluted it’s veins, we have forgotten what real connection is like with nature which is readily provided for us, as we are all to busy meeting demands of industry making money for others to line their pockets and sit on a mountain of cash. Blocked energy!
As we are forced inwards to deal with this situation and sit with our uncomfortable emotions it should bring about a sense of reflection on how we can evolve from all this. So we can let earth breath and change our ways.
With airlines stopped, industry slowing down, food sources not able to cope with panic buying, business rethinking their ways of functioning, earth shows us again it’s time for change as it changes its season.
We need need to look at more simple things in life again as it once was before.
Live more naturally, enjoy the smaller things and be very greatful for what we have our basic needs. Talk more to other people in our communities as our ancestors did. Looking after our elders with respect and love. Realising all the other stuff is unnecessary.
We need to come out the other side of this as a human race in a different state of being. Consciously connected with our planet and each other.
Just my thoughts 💭 #timetochange #motherearthhasspoken #gratitude #yogaplacenorth #cometogether #natureisincontrol

We are moving temporarily
Good news we continue after Easter with our online courses.
Part of your yoga journey is developing yourself and accepting changes around you. With that said I have stepped out of my comfort zone to continue to provide you with course during this difficult time.

Join me in the comfort of your own home as I take you through a 5 weeks course on line.
Booking via the website as normal and a link to join the course will be forwarded to you just prior to the time you booked.

We can support each other and stay connected until we can meet up again on our mats face to face.
1-1's are available to booking with me directly.
The studio will close on Friday after class this week, an e-mail has been sent to all on current courses explaining next weeks class.
Each booking will help to pay for the rent and bills of the studio whilst we cannot share the beautiful space, so we can return back once we are through this difficult time.
I thank you in advance and look forward to helping you mentally and physically over the next few weeks in different ways.
Much love
Janine. #changeisgrowth #yogaonline #community #yogaplacenorth #supportingeachother

I have a few spaces left for tomorrows meditation night.
I often find people are a little nervous about meditation as they are not sure what it's about or what to expect. I was exactly the same if i'm honest.
Think of it more about learning to change your reactions to things. I have often in the past found myself over reacting , exploding with anger, rushing around, putting the importance of something in the wrong order and generally muddling through it all.
Then I was encouraged to learn how to meditate and I found it so hard and expected all my answers to come (thats what I believed would happed!) I got even more frustrated as I told myself:
I had no time for this!
I've got far more important things I should be doing!
It's not working anyway!

All of which when I look back now was an important part of learning meditation.
It teaches us to slow down, become an observer, feel your emotions and how you react to them. When thing's rise up which sends you off track your start to recognise it and change your direction.
Now I can't do without it and plan time in my day for it as it reduces my anxiety, my reactions to things, slows down my fight mode! It brings more balance to my life.
Just 5 mins a day helps improve your mental capacity,

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.
Let the fun remain!
