Rhian's Yoga

This years home made sloe gin with a hint of cardamom, Christmas lights, a Mordi and a cat on the tv

I did a yoga. Finally.

Post run on the beach hip stretch.

Coffee, yoga, fish tacos with sweet potato tortilla, beetroot slaw and avocado dressing. In that order.

See? Sometimes I do do a yoga.
Only in pretty places

Birthdays spent eating large quantities of hot from the oven olive bread, strong coffee, cheap wine and a small hike up to a fortress are the best. I did some yoga but was too busy eating bread at the same time to take a picture so you’ll have to trust me on this

Not so much bright eyed and bushy tailed as just bushy haired.
I’ve neglected my yoga a little bit lately, and I think I needed to. But it’s there like an old friend waiting for me to catch-up up. Easing myself back into my own routine and grounding with possibly my favourite little pose for hips and lower back

**QUICK QUESTION**
Maybe.
I have an opportunity to run a yoga retreat in a gorgeous spot in France, between Toulouse and Bordeaux at the end of September / early October. 7 days, a tonne of beautiful yoga, mindfulness, hikes, wine, wine tastings excellent local vegetarian and vegan food (appreciate there is a saucisson in the picture), movie nights, sun and relaxation all in a gorgeous surround. 8 places.
Would anyone be interested is October too soon?
Shout for specifics and share with your friends. Xx 🍷🧘🏾‍♂️🧘🏽‍♀️

Need a bit of a push? Hit me up (not literally). Individual and small groups.

**Co**se pose restores life. Dead parts of your being fall away, the ghosts are released** Terri Guillemets.
Don’t usually do the whole quote thing but I love this. It’s so important in my practice to let things go... so I can let s**t go in real life (read that as not resorting to violent acts).
So come join me on the mat, Friday, release the week and start afresh. 6.30pm-7.30pm, OMH Therapies, Edinburgh

Nothing like a tight door frame for a cheeky back stretch post run but can’t be bothered doing a full yoga flow.

Using my trusty Dharma wheel to get a bit more opening in my back before I even attempt to any actual wheels unsupported. Running, weights and not spending enough time on the yoga is tightening everything up - just trying to find the balance

Calligraphy. Moving the energy across the lines

It’s snowing so I should be doing but it’s too cold for that. Instead a little light stretching to stop everything freezing over internally and externally in my thermal top and pants. Too cold for sexy as well. Just bringing the internal fire

Sometimes I haven’t a clue what I’m doing teaching yoga and forget to do my own practice: so my resolution if you’ll indulge me just once here, is to commit to a short yoga practice for myself everyday. Keeps me grounded init? Plenty of great classes in Edinburgh but using the very brilliant and accessible home practice of 30 day True challenge. And you should too but I imagine most of my followers are already...

Starting the new year strong (I actually had a slight hangover and there was a lot of child’s pose before this happened but the point is, I started 2018 with positive intentions). You can also come and do something nice every Friday - a little gentle yoga with me

And on whatever day of Christmas my aching body gave to me - the need for a skaters pose to stretch out my cramped old legs. Have incorporated a lot of walking into this city break which is great for the heart and the eyes, less so for my feet and calves.

Planes, trains and Christmas puds have left me feeling all out of whack so readdressing the balance with my favourite eagle pose. A combination of strength, grounding, twisting and balance it’ll see me right. Hips so tight I can’t sink very deep and shoulders creaking but it felt good.

Me, my balance and my dharma wheel have not been getting on so well lately so dedicated a whole 20 minutes to them today. As you can see I’m getting a much better glute stretch in the first picture with a little help from my mate Paul the Wall and hammering my core hard as I try to balance for the nano second it takes to take a picture minus the wall. Practice.... practice

Congratulations to Sandy McGhie the winner of our 4 class pack giveaway. Enjoy 4 weeks of gentle flow before Christmas or save them to kick start a New Years resolution!!!!
