This week is already off to a flying start… the weather has meant I’ve been able to take my practice outside… and I am loving it!
Birds chirping… light breeze… sun beaming down… everything felt dreamy…
Garden yoga 🙂I find this combo of yoga postures absolutely delicious! They really seem to flow into one another and after sitting at a computer all day it feels good to stretch from head to toe.
Top to Bottom
Janu Sirsasana – this pose calms the nervous system and is a lovely stretch for the hamstrings.
Sallyasana – (not it’s official name, but named after my teacher and guru Sally Parkes) This feels amazing, it’s how I imagine a Cat feels when they stretch after waking.
Ardha Matsyendrasana – this opens the shoulders and increases flexibility in the spine
Pure bliss!
I hope everyone is enjoying the sun while it lasts, forecast for tomorrow… RAIN!
I am a girl who fell in love with yoga 4 years ago. First of all for the flexibility it gave me, which helped me in my dance class and then, while finding myself deep in the clutches of a corporate 8am - 8pm, for the space and calm it brought to my life when I found myself feeling anxious, or simply unable to switch off.
This led me to a crossroads where I made the concious decision to take time to delve into the practice of self-care. I was the sort of person who would feel guilty if I wasn’t using every moment of the day ruthlesssly efficiently and the thought of taking time for myslef was a concept I had never entertained before. Yoga allowed me to “breathe and reboot” virtually guilt free, which was a novel and wonderful concept!! The increased flexibility and strength turned out to be just a wonderful side effect of my new found “me time.”
I completed my 200hr yoga training with the fantastic Sally Parkes and can honestly say that the year for 2017 will forever be one that changed my life. I met some fantastic friends and learnt so much more about myself as a person, another lovely side effect of yoga!
I am now on a journey to share the wonderful effect yoga has had on my life with others. If I can change your life even 1% of the way it changed mine, then that would put a HUGE smile on my face :)
