THE ART OF MEDITATION

Meditation trains the mind’s attention and awareness, toward achieving a mentally clear, and emotionally calm, and stable state.

Undoubtedly, one of most powerful tools to relieve stress and anxiety -it brings us into present moment, to simply be with ourselves, where we can feel into what is, and always within a place of total safety 🙏

⚡️A Natural High! ⚡️

So loved teaching my inversions sequence to my students this week -guiding beginners to more experienced students, to not only appreciate the simpler inversions available to us, (such as here -legs up the wall), but to also manage more advanced inversions like, Sirsasana (the headstand) to complete!

Such a pleasure to see the gradual confidence it brings students to invert fully into the more advanced inversions -and in just one session often, as well as all the fun to be had! Supported or modified, they each found a way and felt amazing for it!

Inversion benefits below ➡️and it doesn’t have to be super hard, advanced nor complicated!

✨Improves circulation
✨Stimulates lymph flow
✨Helps memory & concentration
✨Nourishes brain & sensory organs
✨Aids digestion

Not to forget how inversions help to change our view on the world; teaching us to get out of habits and give us a break from the norm 😀

It’s SO good to be back after 3 weeks away, returning to home comforts and settling into routine.

Join me back on the mat each and every Friday, Yoga 5:10pm, 55min

Tomorrow 19/04, I plan a full body reset and tune up -let’s check in together, to see where we’re all at 🙏

Join me, Natalie Nardi -trained & teaching yoga since 2006, each & every Wednesday, 12:10pm for 45min of deep stretching that releases tissues from the inside out, skin to bone, bone to skin.

New Yoga on the timetable 🙏
✨Fridays, 5:10pm ✨


Join me, back at The Lloyd’s Chigwell to start your weekend right!

No one class is ever the same:

Next week is more of a funcional yoga class -will be using our muscles, particularly of the back, in a way that we use these muscles correctly, to do what they are meant to, over simply using hand or arm assistance for leverage.

This doesn’t mean one way is wrong, or right to move or enter into a pose, it’s just a different way of working -firing up and initiating the right muscles correctly, in order to get into the pose actively, using the right muscles, prior to adding more depth and release with borrowing any assistance.

Come find out more, learn with me and embrace your body, in the most healthy and funcional way possible 🙏

So love this jungle style mind & body studio -so zen and so Brazil Escape Yoga retreat vibes! 31 March - 7 April coming now YES, there is still time and one lonely room still up for grabs!!

✨NEW CLASS ALERT✨

• Yin Yoga • Wednesdays, 12:10pm (45min)

A slow, soothing, meditative yoga style, making it the perfect practice to destress, unwind and relax.

It targets deep connective tissues of the body -the ligaments, tendons, joints, bones and fascia, as well as energetic meridian lines. 

Students are carefully guided into passive stretches, usually in seated or reclined positions and held for much longer periods of time.

Particularly good for increasing circulation of the joints, and improving flexibility.  It compliments an active lifestyle and helps those with busy minds to find stillness, within an overly stimulated world.

In addition, Yin Yoga supports workout routines, improving recovery time for a quicker return, that is stronger, with improved performance and with less injuries.

No wonder everyone is increasingly interested in this Yoga style, especially as one begins to understand and feel the benefits 🙏

•JOIN ME • WEDNESDAYS 12:10-12:55PM •

•A brand new class starting just this week, 28/02 🙏

“We do not use the body to get into a pose -we use the pose to get into our body.”

—— Bernie Clarke

I love to get this idea across to students in my sessions and to continually remind myself when practicing; it changes the dynamics of how we work with our bodies so much!

Some of my favourite little yogi’s from this weekend’s session for kids

We not only did some yoga but also had some great fun together!

Saturdays, 12noon to 1pm
Sundays, 12:30-1:30pm
(8-15 year old members strictly)

So amazing if you are able to introduce your children to yoga as early as possible -skills on the mat for them to take onboard for the rest of their daily lives 🙏👩‍👩‍👧‍👦😃❤️

Of course there are many physical benefits but more notably, we are seeing mental health benefits too!

Yoga with children can allow them to redirect energy positively, helping them calm their minds and bodies, especially during anxiety periods. It may be helpful for those who can be destructive and aggressive. Yoga may increase a child’s well-being, enhance self-worth, and promote fewer negative behaviours 👌

Get them inspired and bring them along!

Enriching our yoga practice 🙏

Lately, we have working through Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, offering a more philosophical approach to sessions…

These are basic guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life as a Yogi -serving as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct, as well as self-discipline, directing attention toward one’s health, helping us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature… ultimately mastering our body, mind and heart.l ✨

It’s always great for me to review these myself -fine tuning and improving my own practice and teachings.

We began with The Yama’s -attitudes & actions that we should try to avoid
-passing each one in turn.

We will soon move to The Niyama’s -attitudes & actions the we should try to cultivate.

Moving toward each one in turn, sometimes intertwined or reverting back -considering that they are not steps of progression but that they all coexist and depend on each other:

Yamas - restraints, moral disciplines or vows
Niyama - positive duties or observances
Asana - postures
Pranayama - breathing techniques
Pratyahara - sense withdrawal
Dharana - focussed concentration
Samadhi - blissful enlightenment

Interested to find out more? PM or join me Sundays, 11:30am & Tuesdays, 11:30am
And Fridays, 7:15pm

Sharing the knowledge and the love ❤️
