"Yoga as a Song of Love" .. 💕

Vanda Scaravelli once described yoga as 'the song of the body'. Does this resonate with you and your practice?

There's a way in which our practice is one of 'singing ourselves home'.. Bathing ourselves in the light of awareness. In the light of love.

✨

Tending to the deep places inside that crave our attention. Especially those parts or places that have been neglected or hidden in shadow or rejected in some way.

At it's root, the word Yoga means 'Union'. Can we put our fragmented selves back together by embracing the parts that have been left out in the cold? Yoga gives us an opportunity to practice embracing our whole selves, with all that that entails.

🙌Because everything is better with friends! 😍

🌀In 1993 I went along to my first ever yoga class with two friends. I'm forever grateful for this! 🙏 We were in 6th form college and after that first week we felt like we'd discovered something amazing. I couldn't wait for week 2! I've been lucky enough to have yoga as part of my life ever since then and it's been a rock that has seen me through different challenges and phases of life.

🩷I don't know where I'd be without it! Yoga keeps me feeling connected to myself and more at ease in the world - whatever is coming my way.

🌀If you're curious to give it a go grab a friend and come along to Mochdre this January. I also run a class on Thursday evenings in Old Colwyn, but this special 'bring a friend' offer is for Wednesday mornings in Mochdre. 😊

First Sea Dip of 2024 - Happy New Year!

Yoga Classes are back next week - link in comments

Just leaving this here.. link in bio.. happy new year everyone ✨

Easing from the Midwinter Solstice & Christmas zone into the New Year.. taking it slowly.. Zoom classes start back tomorrow. Local classes in Colwyn Bay start next week on Wed 10th & Thurs 11th. 🎊 New Year Newsletter on link below..

It's been a busy day behind the scenes here.. As well as teaching on zoom this morning I have added a new bite-sized blog section to my website - something I've been meaning to do for many years!! I've also been preparing for my new venue in Old Colwyn that kicks off next Thursday AND not one but two Workshops down in London next weekend. Exciting times! I've always said November is a busy month. Time to get away from the computer and back to my yoga mat.. :) See you there? x

👣 Some grey mornings this week but getting down on the beach is always a tonic. 🌊 If you've been feeling under the weather with one thing and another lately you are warmly invited to our small friendly classes! 🥰 Gently stretch the body and feel human again with good company and a welcome rest. Bring warm layers and your favourite blanket. ✅ Just drop me a message/WhatsApp to book. Anna x

💟In tonight's class we'll be focusing on the basics. Reminding ourselves to treat the body with the care and respect it deserves.

🤗That means not pushing to achieve something but getting curious about how your body is feeling and what it needs:

✅Do you need to slow down? To rest? To move and stretch in a satisfying way? All of the above?

Come join me on the mat for some well-deserved *me-time*

🤓Booking link in comments or drop me a WhatsApp!

We've been living in Old Colwyn for 3 years this month! What a brilliant little corner of the world. Definitely very happy to be here! ☺️

🏠When we first moved I was still working 100% from home online. (Shout out to all my lovely zoom yogis - zoomies?!)

🌄And since this time last year I've been starting to offer yoga classes locally as well. It has been so nice to meet people in the area through shared yoga practice. To share peaceful poses but also funny moments and a little of personal life stories too. If you've come along to one of my Colwyn Bay classes in the last year - thank you! 🧡

As always when starting out with a business in a new area it takes time to get established and to put down steady roots. 🌱

This month sees a change of venue and timetable in Old Colwyn! We're moving from one beautiful venue to another warm winter home, just across the road. 👍 See pictures 7 & 8 and drop me a comment or message if you'd like to book a spot at any class. Link in bio for online booking too..🤓

Gentle Yoga
For Self Compassion.. Wednesday 11am
Mochdre
💟

After a few more tweaks I'm finally happy with this flyer for next Saturday..! Really looking forward to practicing in person with some lovely people in one of my favourite London locations. ☺️

💟What is this workshop all about?💟

💪This workshop will incorporate plenty of strengthening yoga poses from standing as well as working on the ground.

🦶We will explore sensations of stability, rootedness, support from the ground and muscular tone & strength. Noticing how building these aspects in our yoga practice can point us towards an inner sense of quiet and stillness.

🧘🏽We will also spend some time working with quietening breathing techniques, leading towards some guided meditation time as well as short periods of silent sitting (no more than 5mins of silence at time). With a special focus on the sense of inner strength & simplicity that we might find here in quiet sitting.

My laptop froze mid-way through one of my zoom classes today and I finished the session on my phone instead. Afterwards this moment in time was still frozen on my laptop screen. 😆 What I love is that there are several different poses being explored here. ☺️

🍁In my small group classes I always give plenty of options to suit different bodies, different energy levels, different needs on any given day. I like to say things like 'follow the wisdom of your body first and my suggestions second', as my main interest is in holding space for you to explore what wants to happen in your body, whatever that may be. Sometimes this means I am looking at a screen of 6 different completely poses! But we are all united in our practice of yoga. Paying attention to our present-moment felt-sense experience and moving from there. ☺️
