Hi lovely yogis, Happy Tuesday Tips!✨/CROW - BAKASANA JUMPBACK/ If your crow & chaturanga dandasana are both strong this is a fun transition to explore! ⚡️ In the beginning it’s more of a mental game between your self doubt and self trust! 🙂 Once you have this transition you’ll feel pretty awesome and it’s a great one to then sequence in your flows. Always practice safely and listen to your body. Nothing should be painful in yoga. 🫶🏻 A few more teaching tips that can help you , ✨your hands - plant then firmly, they are your foundation from the start - hasta bandha is fully activated ✨keep knees & hips high! ✨use ‘power’ and momentum as you shift your gaze to where you are sending your feet! its a fast movement, don’t hesitate, commit and go! ⚡️ ✨on an exhale direct the power through the feet as you shoot them back ✨land in chaturanga - NOT high plank to avoid injury on the impact of landing, (keep elbows bent and tucked in) ✨keep chest & shoulders as level with your bent your arms as possible on landing - core & Uddiyana bandha is on fire here🔥 ✨be playful, and empower yourself by always exploring new ways to move around your mat. Are you going to try? Let me know if you do.

✨Happy Saturday to you…✨ yoga is for you, me and everyone, don’t ever let these myths stop you from beginning your yoga journey, feeling ‘less than’ in your practice, or that you need to ‘look’ a certain way, a ‘yoga body’ is ‘a body doing yoga’, you are just perfect as you are! and if you’ve never tried yoga before there are many different beautiful types of yoga , so stay open hearted. Just begin! Yoga asana (postures) are just one eighth of Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga, it can be a path of discovery and enrichment that goes way beyond your mat.

Happy weekend to you ✨ You know anything you do with attention and intention is Yoga on or off the mat 💛 As a Yoga Teacher, I’ll guide you to understand and accept where you are and that your effort is the journey. It takes time to ‘feel’ into asana, but with regular devotion, your breath and mind can gently create space, and your body responds. There is no ‘short cut’ with Yoga, that’s why it’s called ‘practice’, this is where the real magic happens and you discover so much about yourself. Like all yogis I’ve fallen, wobbled and had frustration, this journey continues to teach me qualities such as humour, to try, trust, never give up and never compare! Your body can always do way more than you think… where ever you are starting from. Yoga is for everybody. Practice safely & enjoy your yoga. Jo x

Good morning to you! Yoga practice brings awareness to your breath, clears your mind from thought, and creates freedom in your body. A union of everything you are and everything that is. It teaches ahimsa - kindness towards your body in action and thought. Ahimsa is at the heart of yoga. The first of the Yamas, which are the first Limb in Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga. Yamas are guides for self-control, so we may live a life aligned with our integrity and interact within the world around us. Ahimsa - translating to non violence is the very first one. Towards ourselves, others and the world. We can bring this into practice on and off the mat. Listening to our body in asana, never forcing, trusting & accepting where we are right now. Off the mat we can be mindful in our thoughts, towards others and of course ourselves. Our brain is programmed to believe what we tell it… When you think of things you love, how long does it take to reach yourself? Simply put, Ahimsa is yoga. It’s certainly not always easy, but this practice helps us strive towards our self care so we may also care for and nurture others.
