Yoga with Esther

Mmm, who else is missing adventuring right now? Where is your heart plannning trips to?
I'm reminiscing about my amazing trip to Portugal 3 years ago. Here I am practicing headstands in the sunshine, in between the ocean and a busy main road! I can remember how excited I was to be there, and how joyous the sunhine felt inside my skin. Here's to more yoga adventures in random places...
If you've not tried busting out some shapes in a place that excites or delights you, I'd highly recommend! # # #

Hi everyone,
With the unfolding Corona jounrey, we'll be taking a pause from coming together to share classes at Hagglers Corner. Anyone who's paid for a Class Pass is very welcome to get in touch for a refund for their remaining classes, or your pass will be extended from when we start back up.
I would HUGELY recommend carving some space out for yourself amongst all of this uncertainty. If you want you could keep it to your usual class times, or pick a new time that suits your body's desire for movement. But ideally set a timer so that you can dedicate your all to it and create a sacred space for you to connect. Maybe it's with candles and a warm cuppa, or a stroll in nature with airplane mode on, or maybe it's online yoga or yoga nidra.

For me it's dance (if you're interested check out Movement Medicine https://21gratitudes.com/webinar) and walks out in the wise old woods ππ³π·πΈ
There are certainly blessings amongst the intensity, air pollution is down and there are dolphins in Venice, Gaia is getting her ancient freak on and she knows what she's doing. We'll catch up, it seems as though we need to slow down to plant speed for a little while first. That could be a really good thing.
Wishing you all wellness & ease
sending you a warm virtual hug πΏπ
Love, Esther xx
My dears!
Come and get cosy out of the rain tonight and enjoy some spring inspired Shakti Flow yoga π±
We'll be planting seeds of intention for the new season and moving through a sequence that will get the blood flowing. There'll be a bit more classic Hatha Flow coming in to class over the next few weeks to help your body to start to clear out the winter season from your cells and to call in the lightness of spring into your step.
And if you're feeling tired and not spring like at all~ you might like to know that we'll be starting with a long yoga Nidra π
See you at Hagglers at 6pm π
The forecast is for rain rain rain, but the woodlands are showing signs of brighter days ahead! Wild Garlic is popping back up through the leafy ground and the snowdrops are out and about, looking all dewwy and light π

Hi everyone,
In January me and a few friends are starting up a book club based on a book called Body Thrive written by Ayurvedic warrioress Cate Stillman. It's all about integrating the habits of Ayurveda into your everyday life for more ease, energy and flow! It's an awesome book and it's going to be great having a little community of readers inspiring & supporting each other. We're aiming to meet up in Sheffield on Sunday mornings to chat and check in, but you're still welcome to take part if you can't make the check ins as there'll be a Facebook group to check in with π And if you can only make a few dates that's also fine!
Oh and It's free of charge π
If you think you might like to join, drop me a message so I can add you to the group and get yourself a copy of the book. We're starting on the 12th Jan

I'm so looking forwards to this amazing evening of herbal magic with Abby! Who's in? :)
Very excited to be holding this workshop at the wonderful Create Coffee in Meersbrook this November. Come and discover the magic of making your own herbal medicine to see you through the winter! Full details & workshop description below:
Fire cider has been made by Herbalists, Grandparents and Parents for generations and the recipe has been passed down and kept among the people, remaining a highly valued folk remedy which can made at home. Fire cider makes a lovely winter/xmas gift for family and friends and this is the perfect time of year to work with the wonderful medicinal roots, herbs and spices that make up this powerful winter tonic.
During the workshop youβll have the opportunity to get hands on in the making process, while learning about the medicinal properties and benefits of each of the ingredients, herbs and spices. Weβll also have some fun with remedy tasting and everyone will receive a take home recipe and reference list of ingredients detailing the benefits and traditional uses of each ingredient. Together weβll be making up a batch of fire cider and at the end of the workshop you will take home your own medicinal fire cider remedy!

Topping up on sand and sea, refilling with salty air and some good laughs... Sometimes a little trip is just what you need to get out of the loop you're in and into a new mindset. I find that anyway! We're so lucky here in the UK to have so much sweet coastline dappled with the oceans edges. Where's your favourite bit of coast? Yay to the seaside πποΈπ
