Autumnal vibes creeping in 🍂 time to book a November weekend yoga retreat?

I'm teaching at the top-rated (consistently 5⭐on TripAdvisor) Carlingford Yoga from evening of Friday 6th November to after lunch on Sunday 8th November. There's a mix of yoga classes, meditation, gorgeous vegan food (and regular omnivores always tell me they love it) and the option for a short hike over the hills to Carlingford for cake and/or sauna and sea dip!

Book directly with Martina and Stuart on their Carlingford Yoga website https://www.carlingfordyoga.ie/product/yoga-weekend-with-claire-ferry/

60 years of and it's still inspirational.

I've been slowly recording myself reading the asana directions and practising to the playback. Always something to learn!

Standing poses are essential, and never more so now that I'm training for the London marathon next year, raising money for Shine charity helping people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Yoga is going to save my legs I think! And I already know it helps with my breathing.

Things change, as we know. And my Deepening Practice Series workshop date is one of them. Now Saturday 29th August 10am-1pm at Maitri Studio Belfast in collaboration with Yoga Fellowship NI

I might have been doing this nirlamba sirsasana earlier in the week but now I'll be practising supported poses having come down with a nasty cough!

I've emailed everyone who had registered and of course there'll be a refund if you can't swap. But maybe also it means some of you can now attend if you're available that weekend?

Not the most flattering aspect for a video perhaps but hey, delighted I can jump in and out of handstand wth two legs at once.

And plenty more was happening today in yoga summer school at today as well.

I'm sure we'll get round to posting a round up...maybe you'll be inspired to join us next year?

Just some of the actions in today's summer school with Aisling Aisling Guirke at Maitri Studio Belfast - my hips feel great! And the internal lift of abdominal and pelvic organs, room to breathe and the feeling of strength and vitality.

And I may have drifted a little when it came to pranayama in the afternoon....

So lovely to be with IY students and teachers from around Ireland.

Flashback photo (2015)! But the message is the same - yoga builds resilience, on and off the mat. Attempting to do something hard physically, or maintaining concentration for a period of time, becomes easier with practice, and we realise we CAN do it. And then we become more confident, and more convinced we CAN do other things in our lives.

I wish I could find the reference, but once I read about some research into standing poses like virabhadrasana (warrior) shown here. Observers in a waiting room were asked to rate students coming from a yoga class, and they rated students who'd been practising warrior and other standing poses as more confident that people who'd been practising other poses. Whether or not that is true, I know that my experience is that to hold strong poses like warrior and trikonasana (triangle) is very grounding and affirming.

Practice and see for yourself! Try a class :) [email protected] for details. All classes at

Yoga for...busy brains - whether neurodivergence, anxiety, or general busy-ness, many of us often have a racing mind. By giving body and breath something specific to do, the mind is also entrained and given a focus, which helps calm all that thinking.
Students of mine who have an ADHD diagnosis have told me they feel the precise instructions in Iyengar yoga help them focus and not get bored in a yoga practice.
Other people with anxiety tell me they realise they've forgotten about their worries because they've been concentrating on their practice.
Many people tell me they then get a wonderful night's sleep after a yoga session.
