Yoga studio - Yoga-Natalie

40 beautiful Yogis coming together this morning to see in the New Year......Zoom Yoga is about the only thing that isn’t cancelled at the moment so my virtual classes in January will hopefully add structure and positivity to 2021 Zoom Class Timetable Monday’s 7.30pm Tuesday’s 9am Saturday’s 9am

108 Sun Salutations completed although it was slightly different this year being on Zoom you were all amazing. Thank you for your generosity and support through this tough year it has been truly phenomenal and I’m proud of our yoga community. So far we have raised 1200.00 to support the Homeless in the UK Now it just remains for me to say have a restful Christmas

A year ago today.....what a difference a year makes pre Covid when we could all be together. Ever hopeful these days will return

The last ‘live’ yoga class of 2020 will be on 23rd December and we will be looking at preparing for a mindful Christmas with some stress releasing and nourishing yoga sequences . As the winter solstice approaches the days are short and nights are long so it’s a good time for reflection, rest and introspection..... Thought for Winter Take time to think - it’s the source of power, Take time to laugh - it’s music for the soul, Take time to be friendly -... it’s the road to happiness, Take time to have fun - it’s the secret of youth, Take time to look around you - life’s too short to not be present See more

Starting my learning journey into Ayurveda with Dr Deepa Apte. Ayurveda is known as the science of life and its origins date back 1000’s of years ago in India . It focuses on healthy mind, body and soul through diet, nutrition, lifestyle and yoga. I’m looking forward to sharing this knowledge with you once I qualify

Thought for Thursday

We all need a bit of balance in our lives at the moment #findyourbalance #yogapractice

2020 has taken its toll on us all.....I feel that I have had to overcome plenty of hurdles to be able to teach my passion of yoga to you all! If there has been one positive about this year it has made me have to think out of the box and evolve to teach yoga in different ways that a year ago I could never have imagined. New opportunities are coming my way now especially in the Corporate Sector where I can teach remotely to any location. This has enabled me to start teaching yoga to the staff at www.lego.com and other places which is awesome. If you think your business could benefit from this please get in touch I use Microsoft Teams & Zoom. Investing in your employee’s wellbeing is the future #bepositive #evolve #changingworld #yogaallianceprofessionals

These are the latest guidelines for Yoga Classes so we will be resuming 2nd December

Looking forward to teaming up with 365 Fitness to bring you more Yoga Classes suitable for all levels opening tomorrow

This week in yoga we are focusing on our hips....opening the hips gives us access to freedom in the body and can create an energy shift or release #utkatakonasana #baddhakonasana #yogapractice #yoganatalie #stretchyourbody

Not often do I publicise my reviews but this one made my day today . It’s from Marjorie my 82 year old yogi.... Natalie I just had to tell you how good your class makes me feel. It re energises me and boosts my confidence as I rise to the challenge of the postures I am performing. As for the wonderful relaxation at the end it’s bliss. You are so good, bless you #lovemyjob #yogainspiration #yogasforeverybody #nevertooold

The Autumn Equinox falls tomorrow on 22nd September and this is a natural time to reflect upon what part of our own lives maybe out of balance.....we will be focusing on this at class this week by exploring balancing poses which give us the opportunity to find a sense of being fully present and the ability to let go See you on the mat x

Surya Namaskar......Sky above, sea below, peace within’

The body benefits from movement and the mind benefits from stillness

Practicing arm balances tonight at yoga..... here’s a little video of how to get into Peacock Pose ‘Pinca Mayurasana’ this pose strengthens the abdomen, back, shoulders and forearms also calms the brain and relieves stress #yogainspiration #strongbodystrongmind #yogaeverydamnday #PincaMayurasana

Focus in class this week is Twists.....If you are tired they pick you up if you are anxious they calm you down. Twists also release tension, relax muscles, tone and cleanse your organs #parivrttaardhapadmasana #yogatwists #yoganatalie #stayhealthy #yogaforall

10 minute Kindness Meditation

Meditation is intended to help us still the mind not to stop us thinking altogether, enabling us to keep focused upon constructive thoughts not negative and teach us to let go. It gives us space to check up on ourselves to become reacquainted with how it feels to live within our own bodies. There are a wide range of meditative techniques and you don’t have to sit cross legged surrounded by incense! Just find a technique that resonates with you. I am offering free 10 minute guided morning meditations every Thursday at 8.45am to help anyone that needs it The benefits are endless from relief from insomnia to lowering blood pressure and ability to focus it’s scientifically approved

Core strength class (1 hour)

Enjoying time to read my old yoga books during lockdown....this book is so inspiring and is still so relevant today with pearls of wisdom on each page....here’s a little quote Physical health is not a commodity to bargained for. Nor can it be swallowed in the form of drugs and pills. It has to earned through sweat. It is something we must build up. You have to create within yourself the experience of beauty, liberation and infinity. This is health. Healthy plants and trees Yield abundant flowers and fruits. Similarly, from a healthy person, smiles and happiness shine forth like the rays of the sun #yogawisdom #health=happiness #giveitaread
