✨ The cerebellum is sometimes referred to as the little brain, it is located at the back of your head above and behind where the spinal cord attaches to your brain…

💛 When the cerebellum is affected we can struggle to balance and reach for objects…

✨ In our Yoga practice this can make a lot of the practice a little more tricky, all our standing postures require the ability to balance…

💛 Try this to add some stimulation for your cerebellum in your practice…

✨ Grab a yoga block and place it under one foot, this makes the surface wobbly now practice some balances from here…

✨ What do I mean by rubbing down? Literally using your hand to gently massage each joint before your movement practice…

💛 This is a super simple way to allow awareness into these areas…

✨ You could then use some Cars (controlled articular rotations) of each joint to allow your brain to map the space you have available…

💛 Keep watching my page to find out more…

✨Yoga can be for many things it can be a good stretch and also a way to build strength around the joints…

💛 Building strength around the joints is how we create more space within them…

✨ And this then stabilises the body and allows us a sense of support for the movement we make in the practice and in our day to day life…

💛 Keep your eyes peeled for over the next few weeks to give you some ideas of how you might bring this to your practice…

✨ There are new studies being released everyday that are joining the dots together…

💛 We are often diagnosed with a certain condition and given medication to plaster over the symptoms…

✨I’m not taking away from the medical system at all but I think this can disempower us…

💛 Let’s take our power back by finding tools to support us to find love for our ways of being…

✨ Allowing us to work with our individuality and kindly nurture ourselves to love what makes us who we are…

🧘‍♀️ To all those super bendy yogis 🧘‍♀️

🤔 Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy for you to create certain shapes in your body?

🤔 Do you end up with discomfort in your low back, knees, wrists after yoga?

🤔 Have you been told to just breathe through it?

🤔 Me too, but it doesn’t have to be like that follow my posts over the next few weeks to learn more…

😢 YOGA FOR EMOTIONS 😢

😢 Sadness can also be experienced by taking a seated position allowing the fingers to rest either side of the body and gently swaying from side to side like a blade of grass in the wind...

🧘 Practing a meditation to hold space for the sadness, try some gentle self talk around allowing the sadness to come out...

💛 Let me know if this works for you...

😆 YOGA FOR EMOTIONS 😆

😆 Excitement can also be experienced by taking a seated forward bend moving into those major muscles in the backs of the legs...

🔥 Use the breath of fire to build on the fire in your belly...

💛 Let me know if this works for you...

💆‍♀️ Thai Yoga Massage 💆‍♀️

💛 Teaching clients yoga and then being able to support them off the mat is one of my favourite ways to work with people…

🐛 After teaching my transitions workshop people were surprised at how much working into some adhesion sites can affect our yoga practice…

🧐 How does this work: Adhesion sites (knots) cause the tissues around them to change sometimes impeding the muscles movement…

💫 Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by emotions as they arise...

😊For example happiness might be best experienced with the breath of joy or a quicker paced movement practice...

😢Whereas sadness might be well held in childs pose...

😡Anger for instance can be held within our liver so twists can be great...

👀 Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for more on Yoga for emotions...

🤷‍Life is ever changing and often asks us to transition between one thing or another...

🧘 This is also present within our Yoga Practice moving us between one shape to another.

👂Something we often hear Yoga Teachers say is take Chaturanga now if you have this in your practice but there is little time to break it down and see how we might be able to make it work for us....

💫This workshop will break down the physical elements behind this transition and also allow us to explore where we might feel there is space to explore how we manage our transitions through life.

✨£30 pp held at The Yoga Life Studio.
