It’s a yoga thing

17/03/2024

You absolutely *could* choose to go deep into the Sunday scaries, to hang out in the sheer dread of whatever Monday morning has in store for you. OR you could say ‘not today Satan’.

The first step in taking some control is being just a little more intentional about how you start your week. Set that alarm a little earlier than usual and do something just for you in the morning. Something delicious that sets the tone you want to take into Monday - sit quietly with a cuppa, write some stuff out, get out for a walk…hell, just stand at the back door and take a few big deep breaths. Whatever your thing is, do more of it.

Obvs I think your thing is breathing, a bit of a wiggle and a lovely little meditation to get you going. You’re so very welcome to join me at 7:15 in the morning. There’s a link in my bio and a mat with your name on it.

Hello lovely folk! I’m so excited to be offering a beautiful early yoga class in town. If evenings are a struggle or you fancy being a bit more intentional about how you start your week, I really hope you’ll join me on a Monday morning.

If you’re new to it, Strala is a really beautiful style of yoga based on the movement philosophy of Tai Chi - its flowing, fluid and focussed on the movement rather than rigid alignment. Absolutely anyone can do it.

This one isn’t a super sweaty class so you can float off to work or whatever else Monday has in store for you afterwards…I’ll even make you a brew!

You can book in at the link in my bio and if you pop the code ‘yogayogayoga’ in, there’s a cheeky 25% off your next class with me.

Morning yoga….yes?

Hi….hello….it’s me!
Here’s a little face flash for anyone new around here (or anyone who missed me during my Sonny hiatus).

So I’m Michelle, Strala yoga guide, mama to two tiny folk and two four legged beasties, almost wife to a hairy northerner, lover of all things Devon and all things cheese.

🌞 I had a BIG birthday this year! During my four decades circling the sun I’ve lived a few lives. This current era of figuring out motherhood and who the hell I am on this side of it is by far the most delicious (and hardest) one.

🌊 We live in beautiful South Devon and am grateful for it every single day.

🙏🏼 Yoga is my…what’s the opposite of kryptonite? My can of spinach?? It grounds me, calms me, softens me, strengthens me and gives me space to figure s**t out. I’m annoyingly enthusiastic about sharing that gift with anyone who’ll take it - fair warning.

💻 I started guiding Strala in 2020. Online because…2020!!! And then outside because, Devon! And THEN finally .

📚 Somewhere after mama-ing and yoga-ing, i’m a writer and digital marketer (professional procrastinator).

🧘🏽‍♀️ I nabbed this little corner of Instagram to bring together my in person yogis, now wanting to use the space to share…MORE. But more what?! Maybe a little more about my yoga ‘journey’ (sorry), some easy going movement, thought nuggets, a little inspo to get you moving? And…anything else you fancy? Let me know.

Tell me something about you….or let me know if you actually know what the opposite of kryptonite is?!

It’s not *quite* warm enough to dance on a log in your dungas, so might as well come and join me in the studio (no judgemental hounds there either).

Weds @ 18:15 for a beautiful little midweek wiggle.

Just stopping by to remind you that yoga is magical, you should probably do more of it. On the edge of a cliff, in front of the sofa, in a studio somewhere in the heart of Totnes….🤷🏽‍♀️

Weds @6:15pm Chapel House, Totnes

More of the same for 2023?!?
Let’s!

Perfect yogi squat 👌🏼

Formwise obvs not. For getting my body nice and low - Joni level - and enjoying the ridiculously simple pleasure of running the sand through our fingers together in the January sunshine: abso-bloody-lutely.

And THIS is why we yoga folks. To be able to move our bodies is an extraordinary gift ❤️

Not some big dramatic call to change all of everything for the new year (because it’s daft and not sustainable and you still have to human), more an invitation to come move with me a bit if you feel moved to wiggle your way into the year.

Classes are back to normal this week:

Weds @ 18:15 at Chapel House Studios, Totnes (book via the link in my bio)
Thursday @ 7pm at Flow Studio, Torquay
Saturday @ 9am at Flow Studio, Torquay (book via )

If you’ve yoga’d with me this year - in my class, in another class next to me - thank you!! It’s truly been my absolute pleasure to breathe and move with you.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas, a ludicrously happy new year and more of the very same in 2023 ❤️

Low lights + a little breath/body connection = a whole lot of feel good ❤️
