Help!!

A FEW THANK YOUS… AND ONE SMALL FAVOUR.

First, a massive thank you to everybody who reads my posts, watches my videos, comments, shares things, nick ideas for classes, laughs at my rants, disagrees with me, messages me, recommends me to somebody else, or generally gets something useful from what I put out here.

Genuinely. Thank you.

I share a lot because I love teaching. I love writing. I love making people think. And I love putting useful stuff into the world.

But I’m also a small business.

I’m not an influencer. Facebook doesn’t pay me because 4,000 people read a post, and sadly Zuckerberg still hasn’t offered to cover my mortgage because someone enjoyed one of my nervous-system rants. 😂

So I also want to say a huge thank you to the people who have already become Founders of Making Yoga Make SENSE — The Journey Within.

You invested in my work, but you also invested in yourselves and your own learning, and that means a lot to me.

And I’m already getting some gorgeous feedback from people working their way through it, which has honestly been bloody lovely.

Thank you for trusting me with it. ❤️

Now for the tiny favour.

Obviously, not everybody who follows me is going to buy something.

Nor should they.

Maybe money is tight.
Maybe the timing isn’t right.
Maybe what I’m selling just isn’t for you.

All absolutely fine.

But if you regularly get value from what I do and you’d like to help this little business grow, the simplest things make a surprisingly big difference:

Like something. Comment. Share it. Tell someone about me.

That’s honestly it.

It takes seconds, costs nothing, and helps my work reach people I’d probably never otherwise meet.

And yes — I do have something to sell. 😂

Making Yoga Make SENSE — The Journey Within is open now.

I’m not going to give you the whole sales pitch here.

I’ll just say:

I think you’ll love it.

Honestly. Go and have a look.

I’ll put the direct link below, and over the coming weeks I’ll be showing you much more of what’s actually inside it.

And because it’s Friday, I’ve also made something that costs absolutely nothing.

I’ve put a 20-minute restorative storytelling practice into my Making Yoga Make SENSE group — two ways to get yourself comfortable, then you can simply lie down while I tell you an original autumn story:

The Road She Hadn’t Taken in Years. 🍂

No selling in that one. Just something lovely for the weekend if you fancy it.

So whether you’ve bought the course, shared one of my posts, commented on a rant, recommended me to somebody, nicked an idea for your class, or simply quietly read along…

thank you for being here.

The Journey Within is now open.

After months of building, recording and refining, I’m so happy to finally share Making Yoga Make SENSE — The Journey Within.

This is the first full programme in Indriya Yoga — Yoga for the Five Senses: a new framework exploring how we experience the world through the senses, and how memory, nervous-system responses, yoga philosophy, mythology and reflection can shape what happens next.

Inside the programme are eight core modules, a substantial Practice Library, original Namaskārs, movement, restorative yoga, nidrā, mantra, mudrā, prāṇāyāma, sensory practices, reflection tools, the Sensory Kitchen and Teacher Companions for those teaching yoga.

Seven Founder places have already gone.

There are 23 Founder places remaining at £375 before the programme moves to its full price of £525.

Founder members also receive lifetime access, live Q&A opportunities, special Founder classes, private community access and 10% off future online courses.

If you’d like to explore the programme, you can find all the details here:

You may not need more poses. You may need more layers.

I'll put the link in the first comment if you want to have a look.

For anyone teaching or practising around this week’s solar eclipse 🌑

I’ve put together a free 13-page Yoga & the Solar Eclipse practice companion exploring the story of Rāhu, the Churning of the Ocean of Milk and the connection with the lunar nodes.

It also includes a brand-new Āvarta Namaskār (Solar Eclipse Namaskār), ideas for weaving the story through practice, the Gāyatrī Mantra and an audio recording of the mantra.

Sharing here in case it’s useful for anyone planning this week.

I'm genuinely delighted to share that Om Yoga Magazine has posted my latest article.
It's called Yoga for the Battlefield - Meeting Your Memory keeper and explores why I believe yoga begins with the front line: our senses.
I absolutely loved writing this one, and I'm incredibly proud to see it published by OM Yoga & Lifestyle Magazine. ☺️
If you'd like to have a read over a cuppa, I'll pop the link in the comments below.

My author copies have arrived!!

I wasn't expecting to feel so emotional opening the box..but seeing something you've been working on for almost a year finally sitting in your hands is a very special feeling.
Teach Meaning, Not Theming is for yoga teachers who want to weave mythology into their classes with confidence and authenticity.

It's not a mythology storybook - it's a teaching methodology that demonstrates how to teach mythology through asana, rather than simply reading stories on top of a class.

If you'd like a copy directly from me, with a personal note, I'm happy to post one directly to you, just send me a message..

If you'd rather order through Amazon, that's absolutely fine too - I've popped the link in the comments.
Thank you to everyone who has already bought it. It honestly means the world.

Love Jackie
🥰❤️

What is your go to yoga pose when it's very hot?

"Just calm Down" ... um, excuse me?
Have you ever been told to "calm down".....and it had exactly the opposite effect? 🤯
Me too.
It's like telling a fire to put itself out.
Now here's the interesting bit.
I don't actually think it's the words.
I think it's The Listener (your sense of hearing).
Let me introduce you...
The Listener is one of my five Soldiers.
But don't picture someone quietly sitting in the corner listening politely... oh no.....your senses are not passive.
The Listener is busy.
Very busy.
It doesn't simply hear words.
It interrogates them:
"What does that mean?"
"Have I heard that before?"
"What happened the last time someone said that?"
In other words...
Your Listener is an interpreter, not an amplifier.
That's why one person hears,
"Calm down."..and thinks,
"They're trying to help."
Another hears, "Stop talking", "You're too much", or "I'm not listening anymore."
Same words. Different interpretation.
And here's the really important bit...
That doesn't necessarily mean the speaker meant any of those things (although sometimes they do, tbf!).
It just means your Listener has translated them that way.
That's why I'm obsessed with language.
Words don't just carry meaning. They create it.
Words don't arrive in empty space. They arrive in people.
And people have history.

Now I'm curious...

So, what's your word bomb?
What's the one phrase that instantly changes how you hear everything that follows?
Mine?
Without question...
"Calm down." 😅
Other classics...
💣 "It's only a joke."
💣 "Don't be so sensitive."
💣 "We need to talk."
💣 "Just relax."
I'd love to hear yours.

👂 This week I'm putting 'The Listener' centre stage.

Inside my Facebook (Chakrology Circle) group I'll be sharing:
📖 the mythology & philosophy behind The Listener
🧘🏻 a brand-new posture (Parivrtta Sundāsana)
📄 a free teaching handout for teachers
🎥 and a deeper dive into why your Listener is an interpreter, not an amplifier.

If you'd like to follow the conversation, come and join us.
I have a feeling this conversation is going to get interesting...

Episode 1 of the Chakrology podcast now available, if you have some time.
It's me, raw, unfiltered, and possibly unlike any other yoga podcast you have heard before!
Expect honesty, swearing, mythology, history, philosophy, and the stories that shaped my experience and knowledge as a teacher.
Each week I will look at styles of yoga, paths, the Gita, The Upanishads, but in a real-life, embodied way.
Much love

Jackie Quayle
