Yoga with Jo

"Advanced asana is not advanced yoga"

Advanced yoga is a state of mind.

Yoga is not about striving to twist your body into a particular shape, it's about working with healthy movement to improve your strength and enhance your mobility..... you can do that without standing on your head....

There are many things in the world that are draining our batteries right now - find the thing that recharges you (walking, reading, meeting friends, yoga, jogging.....) and don't forget to plug yourself in

Yoga with Jo updated their information in their About section.

"Half an hour a week of activities such as gardening, sit-ups or yoga could help reduce the risk of dying from any cause by a fifth"

Add to that the benefits of enhancing your mobility, learning how to relax and improving your breathing habits and why wouldn't you want to do yoga!

Hi I'm Jo 🙋‍♀️

My hatha classes focus on enhancing the healthy functional movement of the body, improving breathing awareness and combining all this to bring calm and ease throughout the body and mind. Yoga provides us with such a powerful link to our nervous system, enabling us to heal our physical body as well as enhancing our mental strength, helping us to tackle the stresses of everyday life.

Our busy lives place so much demand on our time and energy that it is important to make a little space for yourself, a time to rejuvenate and become a better version of yourself. Come and find out what yoga can do for you.

So excited to get on the mat again - classes starting next week in Cleveland.

We will focus on strengthening, improving mobility, improving balance and learning how to improve our abilities to breathe and relax.

My classes are at a nice gentle pace and so are ideal for new students and experienced yogis alike.

I offer plenty of variations and provide a supportive space where you can work at your own pace.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat!

🌳🌷 MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK🌷🌳🌷 The theme this year is NATURE 🌷🌳

"Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects. It can:

🌳 improve your mood
🌳 reduce feelings of stress or anger
🌳 help you take time out and feel more relaxed
🌳 improve your physical health
🌳 improve your confidence and self-esteem
🌳 help you be more active
🌳 help you make new connections
🌳 provide peer support."

A lovely article about why yoga isn't about being flexible and twisting your body into impossible poses...

"Instead of forcing the yoga upon our bodies, trying to achieve an outward image of perfection in a pose, we can focus instead on how the yoga feels, and more importantly, how we feel in the world as a result of our yoga practice."

Hello lovely yogis!

I have sent round emails today about the possible re-starting of face-to-face classes. If you have come to my classes in the past and you haven't received an email from me, please get in touch so I can correct my error.

If you have never been before, but you are interested, please drop me a line - I am sure to have spaces in my Friday morning class and may have space on Tuesday morning....

Can't wait to get back on the mat with you all xx

* Tetley cat spam picture is for attention and also because he has been so elusive in online classes recently!

Not long to go now...
Hoping to restart face-to-face classes after 17th May... Will be sending out emails over next few weeks with further details xx

Here's a lovely bit of advice

Be at peace with yourself 💕💕

Striving to be liked by everyone is ultimately fruitless. Much better to like and be at ease with yourself

We all know the classic computer 'fix-all'.... turn it off and back on again.... works almost every time.... but have you considered doing your own re-boot?

This , as you're turning off your devices and your lights... don't forget to unplug too and think about all the amazing things this world provides us.

"After a while, when you feel ready, plug back in, and try again."
