"So

let me say hello and tell you a little about me. Having been into sport (swimming, running & triathlon in particular) all my life, I decided to start turning an interest into a career in 2010. I have taught exercise in various forms around West Oxfordshire as my full time career for 10 years, gaining qualifications, teaching experience, and having lots of laughs. I’ve participated in Yoga for 25 years, but once I completed my Yoga Teacher training, I just knew that this was where it would be at for me. In my world of crazy teens & hubby working away from home, sharing my love for Pump, Yoga & Pilates is a MUST to keep me mentally and physically sane. I’ve had a great experience taking my classes online during the COVID-19 lockdown and it has been a blessing to be able to start COVID risk-managed face to face classes again more recently though. Physical Goal: Half Ironman

Teaching Passion: Yoga – I love it so much because it can be so many different things – slow, fast, sweaty, calm, strong, stretchy, mindful….. Everyone needs some yoga in their life – and just to dispel a myth – you do NOT need to be flexible to do Yoga! Favourite Ways to Keep Fit: Yoga (obviously), Pump, walking & 5-10km runs (well, jogging really). I use guided meditation from the Calm app to keep my brain fit too. Top Nutrition Tip: Keep a track of your carbohydrate intake! The NHS recommends around 260g of carbs/day. If you’re trying to lose weight, or are peri-menopausal, I’d recommend below 120g/day, with your biggest carb source being vegetables, then fruit, then starchy carbs (brown/wild rice, quinoa, baked potatoes, oats)."

There is one class member you don't often see in the photos or videos, and that's because she's normally behind the camera!

But I caught her...

Maxine enjoys both yoga and Pilates and only ever misses a class due to work commitments...

'I'm terrified that if I didn't come I wouldn't be able to move! But it's also about the camaraderie of the group, and it's actually OK not to be very good at it!'

Thanks, Max! Are you a bit rubbish at yoga and Pilates? Join us - everyone is welcome!

It doesn't matter what every-body is doing, it only matters what YOUR body is doing!

Fantastic work by all Pilates class members - you can clearly see how this move can be adapted to make it less challenging.

It may look ungraceful (because it is), but it's a fabulous core workout and exercises your brain somewhat too!

This is me demonstrating a reverse table top with added diagonal reach and leg lifts...

Of course you don't have to do the full elevated move like this, there are variations to suit all abilities.

To wrap up the term we do Yin and Nidra Yoga

Tonight we worked on two meridians:

🫁 Lung and large intestines: responsible for making us feel grief and blocked emotions. Opening and stretching the area gives us life energy, tenacity and confidence 💪

❤️ Heart and small intestine: responsible for making us feel sadness and hatred and giving us poor circulation, heart disease and digestive distress. By opening and stretching this meridian we stand to gain happiness and mental clarity and self compassion.

‘Hari aum tat sat’ - hail the supreme truth 🧘🏼

👋 Say hello to Mark...

Mark enjoys the yoga classes and says, 'at 62, it helps me to relax, stretch and stay supple.'

It really does too!

Mark also walks a lot and has a very busy work life, so if you need to carve out a bit of time for yourself and have a good stretch, look up the class booking portal and get booked in!

Your first class is free (DM before booking and ask if you need to borrow anything).

See you soon 🧘
