Beginning again
It seems quite a sad title for this blog... I can assure you it's totally the opposite. Exciting, scary, humbling, refreshing, and a sense of relief that a little perspective changes everything.
I first did my yoga teacher training in 2003, after a summer apprenticeship in Ibiza. A whole 17 years ago. And things change... My teacher had changed. In his daily yoga he began to refine his method. It became simpler, with instruction specifically to help us feel deeply the joints, the relationships between our body parts, the subtle and not so subtle feelings that we usually ...

Overwhelm? 5 steps towards re-balance.
Are you overwhelmed? Are you interested in a FREE ten minute meditation you can listen to, to help you re-connect and gain perpective? Read on... Sometimes we all have 'off' days. Sometimes it lasts longer than that. Something just doesn't feel quite right and we reach a state of overwhelm... our mind doesn't want to stop thinking, and ironically it stops our thoughts from being clear. Energy levels drop and lethargy and procrastination win us over.
But we must keep going! It's not as simple as retreating into our shell until we recover... There is work to do, maybe ...
Doing yoga
So, you might ask what does 'doing yoga' consist of? What do we actually do within a class? As a beginner, will I be able to 'do it' at all? Perhaps you have been to many yoga classes, or done many home videos. Why is dynamic yoga any different?
In dynamic yoga we use repetitive actions to awaken the deep sensitivity within the body; to be open to sensation as it happens and to lengthen and broaden the body, creating space and openness within the bodymind. There shouldn't be any expectations, although flexibility and strength often occur as a natural by-product of this ...
Daytime yoga classes
**CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING**
Thursday mornings 9.30-10.30am
If you're looking for daytime yoga classes, our morning class will suit you perfectly. Dynamic yoga is a deeply sensitising practise which brings awareness to the relationship between the body parts as you move gently between postures. All postures are easily adaptable, and the focus is on what you can feel rather than what you can do (or what the mind thinks you can do).
Maximum of four students in this class only.
You can see a short practise demonstration here, though without instruction.
These ...
Hypnotherapy for Relaxation in Childbirth
Hypnotherapy for relaxation in Childbirth is very popular right now. I would love to train in this, but I haven't yet, so here is a place you can download some relaxing hypnobirthing mp3's.

It does take you to a different website so please remember I am not responsible for the third party website and whatever else you click on.

Reflexology for Students
With revision and exam periods, stress levels rise. Overwhelm can take over and cause many students to worry too much. It's a good time to make sure you are in the right frame of mind to study by supporting yourself with reflexology for students.
During a reflexology for students session the body relaxes deeply. There is time and space to think clearly, perhaps working out revision strategies or just allowing the mind to be free of everything for an hour. Letting go and allowing the body and brain a period of no demands can be just the right thing to get you through the ...
