Yoga Siân Melangell Dafydd

Gyda llaw ffrindiau criw yoga: ar ôl ein sesiwn yoga ddydd Gwener 21 Mehefin, dwi'n mynd am ginio i'r Bryntyrion gan fod lot o newidiadau ar dro. Dewch gyda fi os hoffech chi roi nod bach i Linda cyn iddi wneud llam steil Anjanay o un cartref i un arall.
Oedi a phendroni oeddwn i rai blynyddoedd yn ôl, ar ôl y clo, pryd a sut a lle i gynnig gwersi yoga eto. Linda Woodrich oedd yr un i ofyn am wers yn ystod y dydd a wir, dyna oedd yn siwtio fi. Diolch iddi.

A little heads up to yoga friends of this group: after our yoga together on Friday 21st June, I'm going to pop over to the Bryntyrion Inn for lunch. Join me to give a sweet nod to Linda who is about to take an Anjanay style leap from one home to another.

I was hesitating and chasing my tail, not able to decide when and how and where to teach yoga again after lockdown. It was Linda Woodrich who asked for a daytime class and really, that suited me best. Thank-you Linda.

Llun: mae yna lawer o ffyrdd mae yoga yn ein helpu mewn bywyd. Ac mae cymaint o ddywediadau da. Dyma un o fy ffefrynnau - ein bod ni'n defnyddio'r ystumiau i fynd i mewn i'n cyrff, nid y ffordd arall (dim defnyddio'r corff i fynd i ystumiau). Mae angen atgoffa ni’n hunain o hyn ac mae'n werth atgoffa, yn y byd yma sy'n rhoi gwerth i'r lluniau perffaith o ystumiau. Felly anaml y bydda i'n dangos ystumiau (dim ond unwaith mewn lleuad glas). Dyma graig-galon yn lle. Rydwi wedi bod yn dod o hyd iddyn nhw ym mhobman yr wythnos hon.

Photo: there are lots of ways yoga just helps. There are so many sayings. This is one of my favourites- that we use the poses to get into our bodies, not the other way around (not using body to get into poses). It takes reminding and it’s worth reminding, in this world that prizes the perfect pics of poses. So I rarely show poses (just once in a while). Here is a heart rock. I’ve been finding them everywhere this week.

Ar Ddydd Gwener y Groglith, bydd Eisteddfod wych Llandderfel yn Neuadd Derfel. Rydw i felly yn eich gwahodd i gwrdd yn y sgwâr i fynd am dro adnabod a blasu planhigion gwyllt y gwanwyn. Croeso i bawb yn y grŵp yma a tu hwnt i'r grŵp yma. Croeso i'r teulu cyfan.

Pris: £6.50 neu 'docyn' yoga arferol. Plant am ddim.
Petai'r tywydd yn ofnadwy, mi fyddai'n rhaid gohirio!! Ond o dan yr amgylchiadau hynny, byddwn yn cyhoeddi ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Fel arall, mi welai chi yno.

On Good Friday, the wonderful Llandderel Eisteddfod will be in Derfel Hall. So, I'm inviting you to a foraging walk instead. Meet in Llandderfel village square to identify and taste some of what spring offers us. Welcome to anyone in this yoga circle and outside this circle. Welcome to the whole family in fact.

Price: £6.50 or a yoga 'token'. Kids free of charge.
If the weather it truly terrible, I'd postpone. Keep your eye on social media if you have doubts. Otherwise, see you there.

Yoga on Friday with a little extra: yoga, warm company, rest

non-yoga (but related in my head) message :) . We had a conversation some months ago about how wonderful it might be to see this film. So in conversation with Theatr Derek Williams, I've awed them about how wonderful this film is and it's coming to Bala this Friday.
https://theatrderekwilliams.cymru/siop/the-nettle-dress/en/
(possible chat about nettles as part of the evening, we're still discussing that).

So, what is this film and why am I so excited? Nettle is one of the herbs I rely on, work with regularly. She is called 'mother's milk' because her properties are so nourishing. She grounds me in spring and prepares me for a more active season in late-spring and summer.

In Ayurvedic terms (the sister science to yoga), we are in Kapha season in spring, moist, still fresh if not cold, needing support to our liver as we emerge from winter and its sluggishness. Nettle is there for us (almost) first. She's a key part how nature provides for that healing path to our most active selves, a tasty and nourishing way to cleanse before we move on. She is the remover of toxins, of obstacles. She signifies a real new start.

I'm so excited by this film which has been getting amazing reviews. (see one here https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/17/the-nettle-dress-review-dylan-howitt-textile-artist-allan-brown-a-husbands-grief-becomes-a-thing-of-beauty-in-lyrical-documentary) The more we try to live our deepest emotions alongside allies like the nettle, the better we'll sail through life, I think.

Who fancies coming to see this film with me?

Siân

The Nettle Dress (12A) After the death of his beloved wife, textile artist Allan Brown embarks on a seven-year endeavor to weave a hand-spun dress from stinging nettles foraged in the woods surrounding his home. Directed by: Dylan Howitt Starring: Allan Brown Duration: 1 Hour 8 mins (+ 5-10 minutes of trailers and adverts...
