Yoga With Reena

The reality of Yog today In the West is people changing it/adapting it to try and attract the masses by ruining the true authenticity of a very spiritual practice in mind, body soul & spirit. In many ways disrespecting the practice.

You’ll find people raving on about that they’ve trained in India but really have zero understanding of what Yog is. Most South Indian teachers have grown up around/in Yog practices in their culture, household, religion & upbringing and many daily practices & concepts cross over into Yog.

As a South Indian teacher we try and break things down regularly and openly speak up about the bastardisation of Yogic practices which I’ve witnessed in the West.

When your passion for Yog goes back to your ancestors you naturally stand by Satya, truthful living/speaking up for practicing/sharing authenticity

Any questions as always, please reach out/comment below

Welcome to all new followers (& existing! :))

Hope you're having a wonderful week thus far

Here are my current online offerings. If you'd like to join, please DM to book your place at least a day ahead the scheduled class. Classes are open to all levels!

Look forward to seeing you soon :)

Restriction; taming; discipline
In the yoga sutra, yoga chitta vritti nirodah is an example that reminds us that it is possible to take the variations of the mind using the practice of Yoga. Some also say that nirodah is considered the fifth state of mind - when it is well regulated 🧘🏽‍♀️

Yoga is for absolutely everyone 🥰 It's internal not external. Ignore all the fancy poses, what you can/can’t do, marketed clothing, gimmicks or mats. All you need is your present self and the willingness to work on yourself :)

No matter where you are in your yoga meditation journey, from years of practicing to never having stepped on a mat. You are welcome

All ages, all shapes & abilities :)

Dearest followers announcing the next ECSTATIC DANCE in Nottingham on 12th December 2021 2-430pm 🙌🏽 💃🏼 🕺🏼

Ever wondered what ED is? Or it’s benefits?

The idea of ecstatic dance is to completely lend yourself and your body to the rhythm of the music. In ecstatic dance, you move freely through the space leading to a state of trance and ecstasy (hence the name ecstatic). Many dancers find that ecstatic dance brings them into a deep meditative state. In ecstatic dance, one is fully and devotedly in the body and therefore also fully in the present moment.

The effects of ecstatic dance are many and are varying depending on the dancer. A lot of dancers report a feeling of bliss and happiness, due to the ecstatic state of being. Ecstatic dance can also be extremely therapeutic, healing trauma, old wounds and limiting beliefs on a physical level. Many dancers also feel more connected to their peers and their own emotions.

Release stress
Release tension
Be part of a beautiful community
Likeminded individuals
Freedom of expression
Freedom of movement
Letting yourself go
Being in the now
Most of all having FUN

Let’s bring some warmth into Winter with smiles, movement, meditation and togetherness!

DM to book your place
All bookings to be made in advance

See you there ♥️❤️♥️

Yoga uses the body to discipline the mind & to reach the soul

Dearest Supporters!

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who’ve supported & attended my traditional yoga classes all the way throughout the latest lockdown (my group and private students). I appreciate you immensely! I know I’ve been pretty inactive on here, but concentrating on life offline (away from the social media vortex has been quite fruitful & rewarding) Highly recommend to disconnect and fully nourish yourselves in the present through various means alongside yoga of course 😊

Our wonderful Park yoga classes saturated in nature will begin soon! (Will keep you posted) 🍃

There is an online group yoga class via Zoom suitable for all levels every Friday evening (DM to book on)
As always If you have any questions or queries feel free to DM.

Look forward to seeing you on the mat 🙏🏽

Nothing but love ❤️🧘🏽‍♀️

Happy New Moon all! Join us on the mat tomorrow evening ☺️

DM for joining details ❤️

Yoga isn’t something which should intimidate you. It’s not a competition, It’s most certainly not about flexibility or taking fancy pictures for Facebook/Instagram (I know that’s all we seem to see) social media has the tendency to demoralise such things.

Yoga is for absolutely everyone, young, old, able, the not so able, you CAN do yoga.

Had received a few messages recently of people feeling apprehensive to simply try a class. I invite you to attend a class of mine and see how you feel from there :)

My classes are safe, inviting space and the lovely souls who attend are loving, beautiful people who share an intensely positive energy (if you know, you know)

Nothing but ❤️

See picture for this weeks offerings ✨

DM to book on :)

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well during this third lockdown (as well as can be at least) 🙏🏽

Just to let you know that I am still offering group classes and 1:1 sessions via Zoom. So if you’d like to book a yoga session feel free to message me 😊

Thought I’d fill your feed today with this beautiful picture of my rose quartz post cleansing.

Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace.

Remember during times like this, although we may not be around many people if anyone at all, we ultimately have ourselves ❤️

Don’t worry if you’ve not practised in a while or if your routine has gone out of the window. You can ALWAYS work on getting back to where you’d like to be.

My classes are suitable for everyone (including beginners), yoga is/should always be accessible for all ✨

(P.s missing my outdoor nature yoga squad 😘...)

See you on the mat soon!

❤️

Dearest supporters ♥️

I hope you are all keeping well & taking care of yourselves as best as you can throughout body and mind 🙏🏽

Look forward to seeing you there

Just want to reach out to share my gratitude to those that came to Fridays outdoor session. We practiced right through a rain storm and you guys were fantastic, no moans, nothing, just smiling throughout, even when our belongings were blowing away in the wind. It was a challenge for sure, I thank you immensely. It’s just a reminder that yoga is nothing to do with what’s happening around you (external matter) it’s working through what’s happening within you (your internal matter). I felt so charged and full of love & energy post teaching - thank you!💛🙏🏽♥️

A special shout out to Natalie & Xanthe to come out for your first practice with me 🙂

Would you like to join me for outdoor yoga this week in nature’s elements? 🌸💫

Outdoor yoga tomorrow evening 1800-1930 Message to book & reserve your place.

To practice outdoors & connect with such lovely souls has been a complete blessing in disguise. A lot of us have missed that human connection & this is one way in which we’ve managed to connect so beautifully with each other in real life! New friends, new bonds and sharing yoga through rain, hail or shine. Thank you to my lovely yoga squad for all of their support. It’s been a huge pleasure to share and practice authentic traditional yoga with you all. As we all continue to learn, grow and inspire each other in numerous ways. There is no you or I only us! See you soon on nature’s mat ☺️♥️🙏🏽💫

Traditional yoga classes suitable for all levels - come & practice with me 🙂

Happy Sunday everyone
