The language of Yoga is called Sanskrit, it is no longer a spoken language but is widely used in Yoga to convey the philosophy, techniques, and spiritual essence of the practice, connecting mind, body, and spirit.

We are currently investigating some of these words in our practice to see what relevance they have to our lives and the world today.

Join us for a fun, uplifting Yoga session, if nothing else will enhance your physical strength and quieten your mind 🙏🏻

I am looking forward to leading the session this Sunday at St Mary's playing fields in Bridport.

This will be a gentle session to encourage us to release tension, come into our bodies in the present moment, and quieten the mind. To connect with the elements around and within us, and to reconnect with our own hearts.

I am trained with the Inner Yoga Trust and am fully insured. I have 20 years experience of yoga teaching.

Please bring a mat, and anything else you need to be comfortable. We will be on the far side of the field in the shade. I will be there from 9am if anyone has any questions. Starting at 9.30

Look forward to seeing you on Sunday

Sue 🙂🧡

In our Yoga practice we are currently investigating the three essential qualities of nature. These are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, collectively known as the Gunas:

Rajas - action, energy, movement, change, restlessness

Tamas - laziness, inactivity, inertia

Sattva - harmony, balance, joy, peace, wellness.

All three gunas are always present in all beings and objects surrounding us but they vary in their relative amounts.

Humans have the unique ability to consciously alter the levels of the gunas in our bodies and minds we can encourage their increase or decrease, depending on how we are feeing.

We start by recognising these various energies and then use asanas (postures), pranayama (breath), mudras (hand gestures) and meditation to alter them to bring balance into our lives.

Come and join us, all are welcome, no experience is necessary 🙏🏻

During the Autumn term we have revisited the Yamas and the Niyamas, the first two limbs of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and probably the most important aspects of Yoga philosophy to consider.

They deal with human behaviours both towards ourselves and how we live harmoniously together in family groups and society generally.

The Yamas and Niyamas are more than concepts, they are a way of life. It’s learning to let go, to trust, to believe, and to soften into the natural rhythm of being.

NEW! Chair Yoga

I have been teaching Chair Yoga to the Stepping Out Group every few weeks for the last four years and I have been asked a number of times recently if it's something I could teach on a weekly basis. So I decided to go ahead and offer a weekly Chair Yoga class on a Wednesday morning 11:30 - 12:30.

The Chair Yoga I teach adapts traditional yoga poses to ensure that they are accessible for those who might find a full yoga class challenging, particularly if getting up and down from the floor is becoming more difficult.

The type of yoga I teach is Hatha Yoga which is more than just a physical exercise, it is a holistic practice encompassing the mind, body and spirit.

Each 60 minute class follows a theme from one of the classical yoga texts. Using this as a base you will gradually prepare your body so that you can achieve the best peak posture on any given day. The practice ends with a guided meditation or relaxation related to the theme of the class.

Everyone is encouraged to listen to their own body, to do only what is possible on any given day, and to overcome the need to judge or compare.

The benefits are far-reaching, and a regular Chair Yoga practice will:
- improve the strength, balance and flexibility of your body
- improve posture
- reduce stress and anxiety
- bring stillness to your mind
- and make you feel wonderful!

The cost per class is £10.00 and the venue is the British Legion Hall in Victoria Grove.

Welcome to Summer! And what a summer it has been so far ☀️
During this term we will be investigating the topic of attachments, these are elements in our lives where we hold onto behaviours, attitudes and actions that no longer serve us, that may restrict and control us.

Through our Yoga practice we will attempt to recognise what these are and to question if they are still valid. It could be something as simple as a long-held conviction that learning a new language is not within your skillset. The first step is to recognise this and then to challenge it, is that belief holding you back? Is it true? This process can be applied to all parts of our lives; everyday actions, relationships, employment, likes and dislikes.

The concepts of attachment and non-attachment are mentioned several times in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a seminal yoga text. The sutras maintain that attachment is neither good nor bad. However, the sutras also say that attachment can lead to suffering, to being unhappy.

The essence of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras can be summarised in a few simple lines. It observes that our inherent nature is one of peace and contentment, however when we start to misidentify with the transient parts of ourselves, such as our possessions, our bodies, or our thoughts, we lose touch with that peace and experience frustration and pain.

Yogis believe that there is a calm, peaceful, and pure awareness residing deep within all beings. With our Yoga practice we start to work towards our inner self to achieve that contentment.

That’s a lofty objective I know; over the next few weeks we will be exploring ways in which to work towards this goal.

I hope you can join me.

Om Shanti 🙏
