Proud Yoga

You keep seeing that “there’s more to Yoga than the poses…” but what does that actually mean? 🤔

If you’ve ever had even the tiniest bit of curiosity as to what’s beyond the physical practice of Yoga then this is the course for you.

🧘🏻‍♂️ Traditional Hatha Yoga and Meditation
📍
🗓️ 9th-30th October 7:15pm

Over the four weeks together we’ll explore Yoga scripture, learn to chant mantra, and explore the deeper meanings behind asana and pranayama.

We’ll combine all of this to cultivate a powerful meditation practice that you’ll be able to take with you far beyond the four weeks of this course.

Lessons from my Yoga mat day 7/30

A whole week of self study and here are some of my lessons along the way.

The more I throw myself back into study the more I’m reminded why I fell so deeply in love with Yoga philosophy. So much wisdom, all of which is somehow so very relevant to modern life.

Stay tuned for 23 more days of self study and 23 more lessons friends. Thanks for sticking with me this far ✌🏻

Three whole years of sharing Yoga with the world 🧡

Well, technically a little over three years but who’s counting?!

These little moments pictured are exactly where the course of my life changed. I’ll forever be grateful to for that 🥹🧡

And my little lockdown YTT family. Scattered all over the place now but always in my heart - one day we’ll have the reunion we keep meaning to plan 😂🧡

Sorry bigots, but with friends like these you’ll never win 💪🏻

How to have a brat Yoga class 💅🏻

🎽 Strappy top, obviously
🧱 Foam bricks. Cork ones aren’t brat sorry I don’t make the rules
😌 Lavender eye pillow because daylight isn’t brat
🛌 At least one bolster, more if possible
😴 Obnoxiously long Savasana

These are the rules okay I don’t make them up.

Final (eventful) few days in Thailand 🇹🇭☀️

After checking into our first hotel on Phi Phi we quickly realised it was not the one and made a swift exit (proud of us for tackling the very awkward early checkout). Quick tip if staying here: get as far away from the pier as you can!

Anyway, never ones to be deterred from a good time and I managed to find a beautiful resort, visited beaches that are just out of this world, and saw all the fish.

For those asking, I land back in the UK on the 21st and I’m back teaching on the 22nd - promise I’ll never have a holiday again 😅

🧡

Actually my job… it’s just beach 🌊🤞🏻☀️

Charity fundraiser: Smara - a class to remember 🩵

Many of you know that in January, I lost my incredible Grandad to dementia. The grief has been heavy to say the least, and now I’m channeling it into something I hope can make a difference.

In Sanskrit, Smara can be loosely translated to love, as well as remembrance or recollection.

In these gentle classes I’ll give the space to dedicate your practice to someone or something you’d like to remember and direct your love towards.

Classes are running throughout March, two in person and two online:

7th and 21st March - 7-7:45pm
14th and 28th March - 7:15-8am

Classes are priced on a voluntary donation basis to raise funds for

All abilities very welcome, including absolutely beginners.

All the links to book and donate are in my bio:

Lots of love 🩵

Proud Yoga - Booking by Bookwhen Welcome to Proud Yoga! Yoga has helped me gain a sense of calm and clarity in some of my toughest moments, and it's now my pleasure and privilege to be able to share that with others. If you join me on the mat, whether it's your first time or 100th, I can promise you my full support, lots of fun and...

Hey everyone! ✌️

Some of you may know me, others may not, so how about a lil' introduction?

I'm Iain, a Yoga teacher based in Leeds who's made it my life mission to show that Yoga really is for everyone.

Yoga came into my life eight or nine years ago and categorically changed it for the better. It's been a tool for me to manage my own mental health battles, and now it's a genuine privilege to share that with others.

My hope is that you'll come with me as we walk this path together, or I can just be someone your fire random Yoga-based questions at - either of those things is fine!

If you want to practice with me, I teach at Yoga Hero every Monday and Saturday, as well as my own classes at Kinetic Studio in Churwell every Thursday evening. Online classes coming soon too, I promise!

Hope to see you on the mat very soon yogis 🥰
