Sessions are running throughout August at all of our lovely venues (Wednesday evening class is online until September). We are flowing with the abundance of Summer yet also exploring these 2 incredible super moons this month - a real balance of energies. Let’s move, breathe and re-set together.

August Qigong is moving to the earth phase of late Summer - expect steadiness and nourishment in our forms this month.

Join us in July for a wonderfully energy balanced month. We will be looking at the nadi system - the energy lines that transport our vital energy (Prana) in our weekly Yoga sessions. This will link in to our July workshop for summer health and wellbeing on Sunday 16th. The nadi’s are said to support our physical health and emotional health, balancing the nervous system and liknking into certain organs and areas of the body.

Our Qigong sessions are continuing with the fire pase of Summer - joyful and uplifting movement meditation.

Fancy exploring with me?

Well, hello June!

This moth we will be taking a light-hearted look at the Hatha Yoga Pradipika - a medieval text on the practices of Hatha Yoga.

Each week we will dive into one of the 4 chapters and create practices around the practices! Can these ancient teachings still be useful in our modern world? how have they changed/evolved? Let’s explore together. Castle Bromwich, Water Orton, Shustoke and Coleshill for in-person sessions. Thursday chair Yoga and Friday morning flow are online.

Our Monday Qigong session in Water Orton is flowing into the fire element of Summer. Would be great to share these practices with you.

It would be so lovely to see you this Saturday at Coleshil community centre for June Super Saturday.

Let’s embrace the lighter feeling as we move into the Summer months. Prana flow Yoga with creative movement, energy boosting pranayama and of course an opportunty for a restoring relaxation.

I can also live-stream and record this session although it’s always beautiful to see you inperson!

You can book online or just turn up…

Our sessions through May will lead us through this beautiful spring month with energy and brightness. Yoga classes will be looking at the transition from kapha dosha into pitta dosha - and with it the ability to stay grounded and balanced.

Our Qigong classes will also have an essence of moving between the seasons and the Chinese phases of wood and fire.

I am away between Friday 19th and Friday 26th May so no classes then.

A nice spring playlist if you are joining any sessions from home is below…

This week we are looking at the strength yet flexibility of the bow. In our Yoga sessions we will go back to basics with dhanurasana - the bow posture. It’s a back bending asana which strengthens the back muscles, mobilises the spine and opens the chest and shoulders.

As we are looking at spring practices in our Qigong classes the opening of the bow is a great form to bring the mobility and strength of the wood element.

Join us at our beautiful halls in Castle Bromwich, Water Orton and Shustoke as well as online if you prefer. Seated Yoga is at New Oscott village on Tuesday mornings or nline on Thursdays.

Come along to the lovely village of Shustoke and join me at our ever poplular Spring workshop.

Spring is all about moving forwards with clear intention, knowing where we want to be and making plans to move towards our goals with an open awareness and heart.

This workshop we will be clearing away any stagnation which might be holding us back from following our dreams. In Ayurveda this part of the season is kapha dosha - relating to the earth and water elements. We want to make sure that our earth is stable and supportive rather than muddy and heavy, our water is flowing rather than stagnant.

We will work with a beautiful Prana Flow sequence - created by Shiva Rea - to encourage the natural creative quality of Spring. Maybe some Qigong energy boosting practices too?

This week we look at a classical hatha yoga asana Matsyendrasana - the lord of the fishes postures. A deep seated twist which irons out the kinks of the body, allows us a new view of the world and stimulates bllod flow to the abdominal area. Come and explore different variations of the posture, where our intention can go, how our breath might feel and how we can warm up and cool down to feel safety in the position.
