A beautiful skyline to end a beautiful day.
Yesterday I taught two classes in the most amazing studio.
It felt super refreshing to be teaching in a new space but most importantly teaching pregnancy yoga.
Pregnancy yoga is such a beautiful sharing I can't wait to delve a little more deeper into the practice with mamas to be.
I'm so excited for the next chapter to unfold. Watch this space for more classes launching soon.

Class is on this evening at the old school hall. Looking forward to seeing you all on the mat.

Beginners Hatha yoga classes starting in Darwin.

I'm so excited to get started at yogalovecollective we are offering a beginner level class which is accessible for those who want to try yoga for the first time. Those who have dipped a toe in every now and then but also those who like the movement of the practice guided via the breath.

The practice is aided by the breath slowing opening the body throughout Asana and meditation.
We will move through seated and standing postures listening to our bodies allowing us to centre within.

No experience needed just an open heart to the light of this experience.

I look forward to welcoming you on the mat. Any questions or you require any further information. Please send a DM.

Booking via studio.

Ying yoga and sound healing l, Through recent interest I am delighted to share with you all that Craig and I will be holding an event at the beginning June 3rd. 6pm at the old school hall.

The gong is one of the oldest man made sounds, dating back over 5,000 years, playing an important role in ceremonies, rituals and healing in cultures including China, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Greece, India, South America and Africa.

The gong's sounds and vibrations have a quick effect on the brain and the body. They move us from our awake (Beta) state to a more relaxed and calm (Alpha) state, then on to a restful (Theta) state and finally to a deeply relaxing meditative (Delta) state.

They cause the brain, heart and respiratory rates to slow down and increase the release of melatonin, endorphin and dopamine chemicals that are linked to feelings of expanded mental clarity.

Pregnancy yoga starting at yogalovecollective studio in Darwen. 14 th May @6:20pm

Yoga helps unify the physical, emotional and spiritual growth between mother and that of the growing baby.

Christmas yoga flow vibes with my buddy.
This morning yoga with the biggest one with a Christmas themed practice. We were snow flakes which became a snowman ☃️ all movements involved dancing horrible singing from me and yoga postures.
Followed my some monster truck playing on the mats.

Movement helps regulate my nervous system so why not help our little ones regulate theirs.
Then after drop off a postnatal yoga flow for me and this pudding.
Classes are launching in January. Booking is now open.

What does your yoga practice look like
This is my space 🙆🏼‍♀️
Finding time with two boys is hard but essential.
Yoga helps my mind be clear and body to function 😉

Allowing space and time for my yoga practice makes me a better version of me.

I love practicing with the kids. The fact they see me moving my body providing myself with the self-care I require builds a foundation in them that they should move around be active and prioritize self care.

I like to involve them in my meditation and breathwork. Ezra now tells me to do deep breaths and corrects my practice.
To make the practice more child friendly we add their favourite toys hense monster trucks. I add the trucks into our postures and create a game to keep him engaged.

Sorry to my husband a mat generally lives somewhere on the floor of our house. 🧘🏼‍♀️

What does your practice look like 🩵🩵

Taking time to introduce myself. This is me. Lou.
I am a mom of two gorgeous boys.
I'm currently on maternity leave after having Raphael (Raphie) 6 weeks ago. These boys have changed my life and are my world. 🩵🩵

I'm a qualified pre and post natal yoga instructor and plan on sharing my journey back to fitness with you.

I am hoping to start a post natal yoga classes local in north Manchester bury in the new year.

I will be returning to teach my evening classes, where I teach hatha/ vinyasa , Ying yoga and meditation at the old school hall Greenmount. Classes are currently covered by Bettina.

I'm looking forward to starting a new yogic journey into postnatal classes and can't wait to see you on the mat.

This week I tried Pilates for the first time
How I haven't tried it sooner is beyond me.
Thank you to the lovely Leanne. for guiding me through.
I really enjoyed the variation of practice to my usual flow.
Bring on my Pilates times.
I'm trying to challenge myself into new places and activities. Breaking the mould of the everyday routine.
Try it sometime you may surprise yourself.

Last week I decided to go paddle boarding at Hollingsworth lake in the rain. This was the only photo I got.
The water was ice cold luckily I didn't fall in.
The best part of the day was it was time for me.
My goal is prioritising time for me. It's difficult but important.self care is key.
In summer I developed a love of paddle boarding in the sea. I haven't stopped thinking about it since September.
I can safely say it's alot easier in the lake but alot more fun in the sea.
Thoughts of the day.-
1. I wish I could paddle board to work instead of driving
2. How have I just found paddle boarding
3. Don't fall. Balance balance
4. I like toast
5. Are we mad doing this in the rain
7. I love being outside and on water
8. This is grounding
9. I look a bit hippie today
10. My feet are freezing

Believe in the journey 🌸🙏🏻🌈

It's getting closer to our final sound healing journey of the year.

Come along and relax and explore.
Sound healing is therapy and brings trauma to the surface in different ways around the body.
The reasons to revisit the journey is you evolve through the trauma the emotions the motions of life.

The soothing sounds help to re-tune your brain to cope with stress better by replenishing brain energy with high-frequency sound. Many people use sound therapy to get relief from chronic headaches and migraines. It can also address the underlying cause of many headaches like stress and high blood pressure.

*Releasing stress and anxiety
*Help with mood mental health
*Removing trauma from the body
* Helps with relaxation
*Lowers blood pressure

End your year on a high.

Join me only a few spaces available left.
