Say goodbye to January and welcome in the new month with focus.
For many of us this past month was challenging for one or other reason: restraint, restriction, sacrifice and a returning back to reality. I invite you to reflect on how you coped and by what means you made it through the first month of the year?
I think the thing to remember is that it’s great to have goals, but life is to be enjoyed so if you didn’t quite achieve what you set out to, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Can you find the lesson in your achievement or lack thereof? There is no benefit or joy in beating yourself up or carrying around guilt. Dig deep for more self-love & then continue to look up and move forward. And if you need some motivation to keep you moving, then scroll down to the “Fuzz Speech” link.
May your month of February be absolutely fabulous. Find the joy in every moment.
Love & Light

THE FUZZ SPEECH
Need motivation to move?
We all know that we should be moving & stretching to maintain a healthy body, but sometimes it’s just too tempting to stay bundled up on a couch, especially in this cold weather. I have the perfect antidote for you!
Whilst studying with Sarah Ramsden, the Yoga Coach for Man United & Man City Football Clubs, she shared with us a 5 minutes golden nugget. I now share this with you.
Please be warned that this may affect sensitive viewers!
ANNOUNCING…
A new YIN CLASS is coming!
It’s so important to keep the fascia of the body stretched and healthy. The safest and most effective way to do this is through the practice of Yin yoga which works on joints & soft connective tissue, helping to improve range of motion by holding poses for longer.
If you are in any doubt about this then have a look at the Fuzz Speech above.
I will be announcing details about the new Yin class soon.

CHAKRA CLEARING
YOGA WORKSHOP
📷
LEVEL: BEGINNERS & INTERMEDIATES
Sat 6th April 09h30-12h30
At: Shaw Ridge Primary School SN5 5PU
Cost: £35
The 7 main chakras can be classified as swirling wheels of electromagnetic energy that are arranged as an ascending column, starting at the base of the spine and ending at the crown of the head.
When the energy enters into a chakra and is blocked, it will try to express itself through a psychological disassociation & eventually manifesting through physical problems.
In this workshop we will be exploring all these 7 chakras. The first hour we will have an interactive discussion where we explore how imbalances & blockages in these chakras can manifest into negative physical & emotional symptoms and how we go about balancing them through the practice of yoga, specifically working with postures that relate to these energy centres and breathing techniques that will enhance their vitality.
There will also be an hour chakra flow where we incorporate a specifically designed sequence aimed at balancing these energy centres.
