Abergavenny Soul Yoga with Ciara

29/07/2026

One of the gifts that yoga has given me is a better sense of what my own thoughts and emotions are - the ability to notice and observe bodily sensations, thoughts and explanations - without getting completely caught up in them.

I love this meditation from Esther Ekhart on the topic of difficult thoughts and emotions, and I hope you find it helpful too:

How learning to question the stories in my head has changed some of the biggest decisions in my life.

It was lovely to get this feedback from a relatively new student in my intermediate class, Dr Shan Jones: "Just had to say how much I’ve enjoyed your sessions. The variety of poses, mediation techniques and breathing exercises have really helped me. I always come away from your sessions feeling energised and refreshed."

I love introducing new people to yoga, getting to them and how their bodies move, helping them to find their own best way to practice. Most of us experience challenges in our lives and yoga has so many tools to help us meet them with a little more spaciousness and calm.

Really good to see all the benefits that yoga brings to people with Parkinson's Disease.

Huge thanks to Richard Kravetz .rich and for a wonderful chair yoga session today to help raise awareness for tomorrow.
The accessible yoga session is for people living with Parkinson’s, supporting a friend or family member, or interested in learning practices that promote mobility, balance and wellbeing. It is also great fun!
If you would like to view the recording it is available via the BWY website - book onto the event to access the link. If you're a BWY member it's available in your Video Library alongside a wide range of expert led Yoga Masterclasses.

I love this poem, a beautiful reminder to feel into gratitude and awe at the miracle of life on earth, even when we experience a lot of challenge in our lives.

Just a reminder that our yoga classes are taking a break for two week over Easter, and yoga classes restart on the 13th and 15th April. I have definitely got a space in the Beginners class 6pm on Wednesdays at the St Michael's Centre - check out the website for more details and contact me if you are interested: https://ciarabomford.wixsite.com/mysite/yoga-classes

It's a friendly class with a mix of ages from 17 - 70+, and all levels of physical ability, so I always give people lots of options so they can make the practice work for them. £42 for the six classes up to May half term.
