This past weekend I completed the second module in the Diploma in Yoga Therapy I’m studying for at The Minded Institute. It’s a 580-hour professional training course with accreditation from the BCYT (British Council for Yoga Therapy) and National Council of Integrated Psychotherapists (NCIP), and all being well, I should qualify in early 2025. However,ContinueContinue reading “Yoga therapy nerdy enthusiasm, and upcoming workshop”

Music and yoga
I like using music when I teach. It prevents a silence which can be intimidating, it can offer something to anchor the mind to when in a pose, especially when finding stillness, which can prevent the mind wandering right off onto your to-do list or what you’re having for dinner. As a teacher it alsoContinueContinue reading “Music and yoga”

Aparigraha in my life
Aparigraha is the Yama of letting go, ‘non grasping’. I’ve had a lesson this week in accepting what is, rather than wishing for what I would prefer, and it’s a hard one. In this context, I had expectations of how my weekend would pan out. Friday night, dinner with the GTS*. Saturday, the workshop thatContinueContinue reading “Aparigraha in my life”

Aparigraha, compassion, the year turns to darkness
We need the darkness to appreciate the light. As I write this, it’s shortly before 7am and it’s dark. I’ve avoided the electric light and am using candles- candlelight is beautiful, which is why I’ve chosen it, but I’m not sure how useful it is for writing on paper and so here I am, despiteContinueContinue reading “Aparigraha, compassion, the year turns to darkness”

Injury, oh no!
Last week I was coming back from yoga with Julia Frearson, took my shoes off and went to climb down the ladder/steps into the boat, just in my socks. I slipped, my left foot shot forward and my right foot stayed where it was on the top step. As my weight went left, the rightContinueContinue reading “Injury, oh no!”
It’s the end of the holidays again…
There seems to be a theme, this blog is written at the end of holidays! I always over-plan and under-produce on Jobs during the holidays, because as well as Jobs it’s important to relax and spend quality time with the child and the animals, and the GTS. This month (August) I have also spent aContinueContinue reading “It’s the end of the holidays again…”
Holidays again :)
It’s my last day of being on holiday, and when I woke up the clocks had gone back and it was raining A LOT, so me and the puppy snuggled up with coffee and yesterday’s rugby on the laptop. It’s a real treat to spend a Sunday morning in such a relaxed* and decadent way.ContinueContinue reading “Holidays again :)”
