Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees it. 🌙

Ever wondered what yin yoga is all about?

The nutshell of yin yoga 👇🏼

This is a different type of yoga that focuses on stretching and opening the joints, as well as relaxing the body. Yin yoga involves holding poses for a long time. Slow, steady movements can help to relax your muscles and joints. After you try this type of yoga, you’ll feel yourself stretch out and relax.

What happens in the body after yin yoga?

Yin reduces physical tension in the body
Yin yoga can be thought of as the deep tissue massage of yoga. The poses you’ll move through in a yin class help to release physical tension and unblock stagnant energy being held in the body.

Yin yoga is for everyone and all levels.

Yin yoga and the body👇🏼
Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load, which is why we hold the poses for longer. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time in this way, the body will respond by making it a little longer and stronger - which is exactly what you want.

Here’s a review from a student who is now doing yin yoga classes weekly for one year now, she never misses her class, shows up every week no matter what as she knows that even after the hardest of days, every thing always seems much lighter after her yin class 🌙

Bad day DO YOGA
Good day DO YOGA
Busy day DEFINITELY DO YOGA
I think you get the drift, Make time for you.
It starts with YOU!

🧡

Yoga Nidra literally means “yogic sleep.” It is an ancient meditation technique
where practitioners enter a deeper state of conscious relaxation, moving awareness from the external world to the internal.
Yogic sleep brings us to a state of deep relaxation, verging on sleep, where our senses, intellect, and mind can completely let go and rest. In this dreamless sleep, we are free from the concepts of time, space, and reason. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes into a healing state, removing toxins at a cellular level and refreshing the mind. As a result, 1 hour of Yoga Nidra meditation is said to offer the same benefit as 4 hours of sleep.
Come join me on Sunday 24th November for a yoga Nidra session in my gorgeous studio in omeath, 7pm until 8pm drop in class €15 limited spaces ✨🪽

NEW MAT WORK PILATES CLASS STARTING SOON

Friday 1st November at 11am with Sandra ❣️

Sandra is a very patient teacher who encourages students to challenge themselves. Her goal is that people will leave the class feeling better than when they came in and they feel like they’ve achieved something. Despite a class environment, individual attention will still be provided to all.

This class is tailored towards seniors but is also geared towards anyone looking for a gentle mat work class to build strength, flexibility and mobility.

Our next sound bath is one with a difference - a Yin Yoga practice with a sound bath for ultimate relaxation. Dani will take you through a session to release any tension, before we settle in with our warm blankets for a sound bath like no other. You will float out the door feeling relaxed in body and mind! You can book in the normal way online or via your app - just hop to the 20th Oct to put your name down for the session.

Yogalates “not a fancy word, it’s a thing” really..

The Solomon method created by Louise Solomon.
Louise Solomon first developed Yogalates organically for her own body. Her experience of injury in the Yoga room as a fledgling student led her to the Pilates room that led her back to the Yoga room. With a fundamental knowledge of core and function that had her yearning for more, her body and mind had experienced an awakening that was unprecedented at that time. Louise then trained in Ashtanga Yoga full time for one year and naturally applied her Pilates training when the birth of Yogalates began.

Working from the inside out, Yogalates improves body awareness and alignment to help develop proper movement patterns that we use in our daily lives, and focuses on a practice designed for modern day bodies.
Designed to awaken and strengthen the subtle and structural core muscles through Pilates based exercises while incorporating the Asana (postures), philosophy and wisdom of Yoga.

Resistance bands are used in an array of exercises that stretch every section of the feet, ankles, legs and hips with rotations and resistance (which replicate some of the exercises we know from reformer Pilates machines). These help open the hip joints as well as warm the thigh muscles. The use of the bands also creates a suction effect deep inside the joint that enhances the secretion of synovial fluid and is a great preparation for the complex standing poses of Asana.

Every class is different and has amazing benefits for mind, body and soul.

Classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and run weekly in my studio in omeath.

2 Sunrise Yogalates classes at 6:30am
1 Evening class on Thursdays at 6:15pm

Send me a wee message if you would like to try out this class. 🧘👌🏼

NEW CLASS ALERT FOR OUR AMAZING SENIORS

Please share far and wide if you can.
I’ve an incredible teacher coming in the end of October time to teach a gentle mat work Pilates class for senior citizens.

Class is suitable for anyone looking a gentle class to build some strength, movement and mobility in the body also, maybe after injury or sickness.
No big movement from floor to standing as all postures and exercises will be done on the mat.

Pilates for seniors is fantastic. Staying active and keeping fit is important for every body but especially for seniors. Many forms of exercise can be hard going on the bodies of older adults. Pilates is a great low impact exercise to keep active whilst reducing risk of injury.

Start date is still to be decided and class will run late morning times..

Thinking of starting your yoga journey this October?

Complete beginners yoga class every Friday morning 9:30am

This class is starting with all the basics, everything from breath-work, mindfulness and movement, each one of us are built differently and I believe it’s not a one size fits all in the yoga world, not every BODY should do all the poses a certain way, my style is functional yoga, for EVERYBODY.

I’ve created this term to allow for each person to feel into the poses and see how their body responds, and then give them additional poses if the body doesn’t respond well.

I’ve had some incredible feedback from my September ladies and they are all very Eager to keep learning this way, so if u want to join our yoga class then please come along I’d love to share this incredible way of life with you 🙏

Come and feel a sense of (Sukha) Ease, comfort & inner peace after a long week.

🩸WHY WE NEED TO SWEAT DAILY🩸in Ayurveda, there are seven tissue layers known as the dhatus, which together create our entire physical structure. These seven tissues work interdependently with one another to create an intelligent and interconnected system of overall health.
The rakta dhatu is our blood 🩸
“Rakta” translates to “reddening,” “colored,” or “impassioned.” Rakta dhatu is our vital blood serum, which consists of protein and red blood cells. It is the fuel that governs our blood flow, carrying oxygen and liquid nutrients to the tissues, glands, and organs, helping them stay healthy and functioning well.
This flow of blood is responsible for our very existence, including the maintenance of our body systems and how we get oxygen to the brain so we can think and take action in our lives.

If our blood flow is imbalanced over a long period, we accumulate toxins, called ama, and begin to pump those excess toxins through the blood vessels, veins, and arteries.

When the blood is flowing healthy and strong, it supplies us with a sense of vigor, energy, and strength. These gifts go beyond the health of the physical body, gracing us with charisma, enthusiasm, and passion for life.

So when we workout & sweat we are removing any ama “toxins” from our body through the sweat & when we get the heart racing we are moving the blood all throughout the body revitalising the whole body 👌🏼
Plus it feels SO GOOD, we have more energy feel more vibrant and healthy.

I add pockets of power throughout my Yogalates classes, suitable for all levels, to make sure we get the blood pumping properly and are hearts racing in a safe and mindful way. 🫶🏼

Next up I’ll share some more about the Asthi dhatu “our bones” and why as we age especially we need to add weight into our daily workouts so we can keep our bones strong and healthy for as long as possible 🦴
