The wisdom of transition…

As summer begins to soften into autumn, we find ourselves in a natural time of transition. The mornings become cooler, the evenings draw in and the world around us slowly begins to change. Summer brings a sense of expansion, more light, movement, connection and time outdoors. As we move towards autumn, we naturally begin to turn inward.

Yoga reminds us that change is a natural part of life. Our bodies, breath, thoughts and experiences are constantly moving and evolving. Rather than needing everything to stay the same, our practice can teach us to become more comfortable with this movement.

in yoga philosophy, life is understood as a constant expression of consciousness , a rhythm of movement and stillness, expansion and contraction. The changing seasons reflect this beautifully.

As summer comes to an end, it can also be a lovely time to return to our practice. Perhaps summer has shifted our usual routines, or given us space to step away from the mat. As autumn approaches, we can gently find our way back. Not with pressure or expectation, but simply as an opportunity to reconnect, with our body, our breath, our mind and with ourselves.

Our practice gives us a space to pause and notice where we are right now.So as we move into a new season, perhaps ask yourself, What would it feel like to return to your mat? Not to achieve anything, but simply to create a little space to breathe, move, listen and reconnect.

Like the seasons, our practice will naturally ebb and flow. There is always an opportunity to begin again.

Meet Liz…

This week we welcome Liz onto our timetable as she covers for Charlottes Sunday Service.

Recently graduated from Rise Academy Fold Yoga, Liz has inspired us with her fun dynamic flows paired with a philosophical approach to cyclical living as nature.

Keen to experience Liz’s class? Liz will be taking class for the next two Sundays at 10am

Here’s a little more from Liz about her yoga journey…

I have been practising yoga for about 10 years, although it has evolved massively from watching youtube videos on the floor in my bedroom to now going to amazing classes every week. I have a fairly stressful full time job and struggle with anxiety, and so the hour dedicated to yoga and my breath has been so important for my mental and physical health. I recently completed my 200 hour training at Rise Academy, where my understanding of yoga philosophy became an important part of my life. I love coordinating a yoga flow with the elements, emotions, and time of year at that moment.

I believe it is important for us to connect more with nature and have more community in our daily lives, and from my experience, yoga is a wonderful way to do that. 

Yoga for me is a balance between celebrating being physically strong and also taking the time to rest. I love fun and challenging shapes and am happy to guide people mindfully through these, but equally slow and relaxing movements. Yoga is a practice for everyone and every body, and I will encourage everyone to meet the shapes where they feel good for them. The joy, comfort, and exploration that yoga has given me is something that I hope to share with anyone who joins me, it is a privilege!

Monthly Sunday Sadhana is back next weekend!

Join Mike Sutton for a special Sadhana - a spiritual practice during which he will introduce you to a way to connect with your consciousness, going beyond physical practice and exploring a deeper understanding of yourself.

‘Sadh’ - go straight to
This is how Yoga began. In many ways, it is the true yoga of a spiritual practice

Sadhana is considered deeply important in spiritual and yogic traditions because it is a disciplined, daily practice that serves as a tool for personal transformation, inner purification, and connecting the individual to the philosphy.

Whilst, away on his 30 day training, Mike practiced this sadanah at sunrise and continues with it now at home. This is a chance to try the same sadanah and explore a focused and thoughtful practice.

“ Sadanah is a wonderful way to start the day, it brings awareness, positivity and joy, reminding me of the true purpose of Yoga and the blessings it brings.”

What to expect
2 full hours of practice
Observation of silence before and during practice
Mantra
Pranayama
Surya Namaskar (saluting the sun)
Asana – introduction of Sanskrit names.
Time in postures to observe breath, mind, and body
To be physically challenged in stillness
Nidra
Smiles

What not to expect
Music
Adjustments
Conversation until we leave the studio.
Advanced postures.

This class is open to all, with an open mind who would like to delve a little deeper into Yoga beyond that of a pure physical practice.

Summer and the Philosophy of Sunyata

The fullness of summer is here...

And in the fullness, it feels like a time for the heart. In Tantrik philosophy the heart is known as Hridaya, a space of constant movement, forever filling and emptying, expanding and softening with the rhythm of life.

Yet within fullness, there is emptiness too, as nothing exists in isolation.

Emptiness and the heart are deeply intertwined.

Emptiness, known as Sunyata, is a core philosophical concept in Buddhism and other Indian traditions, generally translated as “emptiness,””voidness,” or “openness”. It describes the profound realization that nothing possesses an independent, permanent, or intrinsic essence.It is not a void, but the understanding that all things, including our thoughts, experiences, traumas and sometimes rigid sense of identity are fluid, ever-changing, and interconnected, ever-changing, interwoven, inseparable from the greater whole.

And in releasing our grip on these fixed illusions, something opens.

The spacious, awakened heart emerges — able to hold the full, tender spectrum of human experience.

To feel deeply.
To let go.
To remember that we are not separate,
but part of the endless movement of becoming

He’s back!! Catch .with.mike over the next few weeks, he just missed folding the blankets too much 🤣

Mike has been away to complete his 300hr advanced yoga teacher training and will be off again soon.

Catch him on the mat Tuesdays 4.30pm for the next couple of weeks. Expect a refreshed and inspired energy from him with some sprinkles of differences to what he offers in class.

Lovely to have you back Mike 🥰🙏

Wishing .with.mike well on his adventures! Here’s a note from on what he’s going to be up to…

‘You might think that, after 14 years of practice and study, I would feel assured and confident in my world of Yoga. The truth is far from this, and I have recently been questioning my own understanding, my own knowledge, and my
own effectiveness as a student and a provider.

It may sound cliched but I have referred back to ‘original’ scripture to find meaning, relevance, and inspiration. Whilst this has been hugely enlightening and fascinating, my thirst to better understand remains unquenched.

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to continue my studies and have enrolled in an intensive 30-day training retreat in a remote area of the Ardeche in France. The learning is fully immersive with a minimum of 10 hours per day of study/practice, the remaining time living my Dharma.

I will be away from the studio and teaching from 14th March and will pick up my classes gradually after my return.

I thank all the teachers who are stepping in to cover.

I am eternally grateful for your support and hope to see you all refreshed and fulfilled when I return. Please be kind to Kirsty as she takes on full control for the next few weeks; she knows how much I appreciate her guidance.

One final request! Please keep the blankets neatly folded whilst I am away!

Mike

Meet Jess!

You may have seen ahead about already as she suppress us in on trainings and with our admin 🥰

We are delighted for Jess to join our Fold Team too and she’ll be starting off taking cover.

Catch her this Friday 4:30pm and 6pm while she steps in for Jen

A little note from Jess and her yoga journey…

‘Having spent most of my life just treating my body like a vehicle to carry my brain around, discovering yoga in my late 20s changed my life and started me on a journey of rediscovering myself. From there, teacher trainings in somatic yoga, Hatha and Shake the Dust changed my life and now even free movement is where I feel at home. I’m committed to holding spaces as authentically as I can, creating invitation and freedom for you to do the same. ’

Meet Bronte!

You may have seen Bronte about as she lives in Macclesfield, and spends most of her time working in Forestry, running around with my dog, or exploring the beautiful northern countryside!

We are very pleased to welcome Bronte to our community after enjoying a beautiful practise with her recently.

Here’s a little from Bronte and what she offers:

Certified in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Nada (Sound) Yoga, and with further training in Somatic Ta**ra, Embodied Yin, and Somatic Nidra, I guide practices that honour the whole self - blending mindful movement, breathwork, sound healing, and somatic awareness.

My classes are invitations to move intuitively, rest deeply, and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms. Whether you’re seeking strength, softness, or stillness, you’ll find a supportive space where all bodies and levels are welcome, and variations are always offered to meet you where you are.

Inspired by the grounding power of nature, my teaching is always evolving as I continue to explore new movement disciplines and healing modalities.

Bronte will be covering this Wed 7:30pm slow flow, definitely a teacher to meet if you’re free!
