Big ol’ cheesy grin excited to see all of your faces at 10am on Sundays from now on at Yoga Quarter 🎉🎉

So you won’t have to get up quite as early on a Sunday to come to class for some yoga craic 😊

READY FOR AN EARLY MORNING PRACTICE?

Give a warm Studio 52 welcome to the beautiful - she will be teaching bright and early every Monday at 7am (from this coming week)!

You can book your space via our website www.studio52.yoga/classes or through the Mindbody app. However, if decide last minute you’d like to practice, you can drop-in to the studio and Heather will get you booked in! If you have any issues booking or questions, feel free to email us on [email protected] 🙏

This is still downward facing dog 👀

It can be done standing or sitting, with hands against a wall, chair or table (or against a fallen tree in a forest🌳). This way there is much less pressure on the wrists but you can still create some lovely length in the spine.
•
Always feel like you can bend your knees and shift around if that makes it feel nicer 😊

If you’re wanting to practice with me this month, this is where you’ll find me:

✨

Sunday 9.30am at Yoga Quarter
Monday 7am at Flow Studio (Hill St)
Wednesday 7pm at St Bernard’s, Antrim Rd
Wednesday 8pm Beginners class at St Bernard’s
Thursday 7pm

✨

(If you want to come along to either of the Wednesday evening classes, please contact me directly 😊)

My Wednesday evening beginners yoga classes will be starting back on 6th April 🎉

If you want to get booked in or have any questions - please send me an email or a private message on fb.

So apparently some of my classes have a reputation of being a little bit challenging at times…

They are as challenging as you want them to be, as there are always lots of lovely options for you to choose from. And anyways, it can be nice to have the option to push yourself out of your comfort zone from time to time 💪

I love getting to see how you all grow and get stronger in your yoga practice 😊

Sunday = side planks + stern face apparently 🙈
Forever trying to look like I’m balancing that shelf on different body parts…

Yoga Quarter

To all the lovely folk who think you need to be flexible to do yoga…

You clearly don’t need to be symmetrical either - this is how different two sides of the same body can be 👀

I left my ability to do full splits behind a looooong time ago, but if getting yourself into full spilts is one of your goals then that’s amazing, go you 🙌😊 I literally practice them once or twice a year to see how they feel but I don’t care what they look like, because it really doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make me any less of a yoga teacher/person/insert whatever here…

Don’t beat yourself up just because you can’t replicate some of the crazy shapes you see on social media. It won’t make you a better person or more enlightened just because you can balance on your head or hands or bend your back into a crazy shape 🙃

‘If you want to challenge your balance try closing your eyes…’
•
Always my famous last words before wobbling/falling/laughing or doing all three pretty much all at once 🙈

If you come to Flow Studio this weekend or next, you’ll have the delights of me telling you how amazing you are as the sweat drips off you in side plank 😄
•
I’m covering a couple of classes at Hill street for our lovely Mark 🙃 You’ll find me there this Saturday 7th August at 11am, Sunday 8th at 6pm and the following Sunday 15th at 6pm.
•
I’ll still be there bright and early on Monday mornings as well for my regular 7am class ☀️
•
(*we won’t be making daft shapes like the photo, there’ll be no unhappy knees involved!)

For someone who is a creature of habit that doesn’t like change, this is one change I am soooooo looking forward to!

I can’t wait to get back to my Monday 7am class in Hill St at this week and see all of your lovely faces again 😊

There are lots of other classes to choose from with our fantastic teachers too (including online classes) 💖
•

Yoga in the park is back 😊

My 9.30am class will be there every Sunday until we can get back into the studio🌳

I can’t guarantee sunshine as we are in NI, but it’ll be fun and it’s so nice to be out in nature☀️(the big trees have great coverage any time there’s a wee bit of rain ☔️).

You can also practice during some days during the week at 5.30pm with Eimear, Susan and Maggie 💖

You can book via the app or through www.yogaquarter.com

I can’t wait to see your faces again!🤗
