💔 Our hearts have broken again and again over what is happening to people of Palestine, so we have decided to come together and meet in community to hold space, share our gifts, engage our minds, bodies and hearts, and attempt to channel positive change, in whatever capacity we can.

📣 Give a F*ck about Gaza is an event designed to show our support for the people of Palestine, whilst raising money for an incredible grassroots organization that is distributing water and food on the ground in Gaza.

🕊️ From Ahimsa

As yoga practitioners and teachers, we follow the 1st limb of yoga (yama), which includes Ahimsa: a "non violent or peaceful" approach and is integrated throughout the yogic system.

💪 To Action

Yet, in order to envision and work towards a peaceful planet for all, we must also dismantle systems of oppression, use our voice and take action. We are all on the journey of liberation together, so let’s talk about it and support each other in the process.

✨ Join us at Soluna Space Lagos on Wednesday 24 July for an evening of meditation, yoga, Palestinian inspired food, a film screening and resource sharing. Let's meet with collective liberation as our intention, because no one is free until we are all free.

Designed specifically with yoga teachers and advanced practitioners in mind, this workshop is about taking inversions and arm balances to the next level; through intelligent sequencing, integration and detailed asana breakdown. Safety is key and we’ll spend adequate time on each pose so that you feel the body mechanics of getting in, staying in and getting out; building confidence and playfulness in your overall practice.

We’ll use Vinyasa Flow to warm up the body, attune to the breath and sharpen up the mind, before launching into some high flying handstands, arm balances and advanced inversions.

Applying techniques from Frog Lotus Yoga’s advanced teacher training, I’m excited to share all the goodies I have learnt from senior teachers Vidya Heisel and Jennifer Yarro.

There will be a long, delicious restorative section and relaxation to finish.

Yoga is an ancient art, science and practice that can help us in so many ways during the modern era. In this weekly class we use yoga as a tool to prepare us for the mountain as well as restore us from the time we spend on the slopes.

A gentle flow of movements for the spine, hips, legs and core - awakening, strengthening, stretching out and of course, a full relaxation at the end. Don’t worry if you’re new to yoga, we’ll take it slow. And it’s suitable for those a bit broken, even if you have an injury from shredding too hard.

Yoga happens when we are fully awake to the present moment and practicing yoga involves a moving meditation of fluid discipline to allow us to experience this state.

In this weekly class we’ll use a combination of vinyasa flow and restorative to train ourselves physically and mentally for the mountain. Through yang we connect to our energetical roots in order to balance whilst sliding and utilise ujjai pramayama to stay focussed and present. We allow this mechanism of expanding awareness to strengthen our resolve, to tap into humility and to find our humbleness when graced with nature, the holy mountain. Through yin, we use gravity to help relax the muscles fully, taking a mindfulness approach to detach from busy heads. Together they help us stay strong AND flexible; agile AND calm; dynamic AND relaxed.

Yoga and Ayurvedia are intertwined in Indian history together.  They stem from Samkhya philosophy (of the Hindu tradition) and describe a world where all energy and matter is "prakriti" and pure potency is "purusha".

These Vedic traditions are beginning to reimmerge as humanity looks for ways to find balance in this chaotic, modern world.  The ancient teachings talk about the 3 gunas: sattva, rajas and tamas; explaining that these different energies make up the Universe as we know it.

In the human body we are all born in to an individual and unique make up of the doshas; our own specific constitution.  This is our natural balance of dosha energy.  Relating to elemental properties - the doshas are VATA (air), PITTA (fire) and KAPHA (earth), and you can think of them in terms of their elemental power.  Vata is light, creative and permeable.. Pitta is forceful, focussed and transformative... Kapha is heavy, solid and tangible.  Neither is better or worse, but when exacerbated or out of balance, accordinging to Ayurvedia, this is when we see disharmony or disease manifest.

Drawing on this ancient wisdom, Quantum Yoga uses the doshas as a foundation for vinyasa sequencing.  In this workshop we will:

Delve into the 3 doshas and their characteristics.  

Explore which one (or two or three) resonates most with us.  

Learn what may happen when doshas are in, and out, of balance.

Practice dosha regulating sequences, which encourage natural harmony.

Join me every week for a mountain themed yin class especially for tired souls, broken bodies and exhausted minds. We know that rest is an important part of recovery and without it our performance on the slopes will suffer.

Yin is the perfect opportunity to forego the “apres” session in favour of something much more nurturing. Come and delve into deep and long stretches for the hips, helping to release fascia, create space in the joints and drop down into the para sympathetic nervous system.

We use gravity to help relax the muscles fully, taking a mindfulness approach to detach from busy heads and don’t worry if you’ve been on your feet in boots all day - there’s no standing postures involved, only delicious, calming restoration for your body and mind.

Every week starting 18th December 2018

Are you ready to take your yoga practice to the sea?  

Using your board as the mat has many benefits and challenges.  For one, it brings us closer to nature: during summer we are able to enjoy the outdoors and SUP yoga takes it to a whole new level!  The sea becomes our playground, our teacher, our inspiration and in SUP yoga we can learn to accept and appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature all around us.

It also brings us into the present.  In traditional yoga, it can be easy for the mind to wander, especially in a static studio.  But when balancing on the surface of the ocean, we must remain utterly focussed or else - SPLASH!!!  

Finally, there is no other way to strengthen the core, increase flexibility and improve stability, whilst giving yourself "me time" and space to find your centre.  An intense physical work out teemed with mindfulness and deep relaxation; we learn to find the balance between  steadiness & ease; strength & grace. 

Join me for the very first session of SUP yoga on Saturday 30th June, at high tide in Porthminster Bay, St Ives, Cornwall.  Our introduction price is just £20!

Book here.

Join me at Mount Pleasant Eco Park on Thursday 6th July for a free class, in the {fingers crossed} sunshine!

The eco park is holding a special promo day so if you're happy to be filmed, come along and enjoy a yin/yang class on the house!

Yoga starts at 10am.  Please be a little early.

Mats provided or bring your own.  Suitable for all levels.

There'll be lots going on including volunteer friday and delicious food available at the cafe, so come get involved :)

Deep, unconditional love comes from the heart, and what better way to connect with this area than on Valentines day.  This 1.5hr class centres on practicing self love - and through specific postures allows us to open and energise the heart space.

According to Harvard Medical school, Yoga’s benefits may extend to the heart.  A review of yoga and cardiovascular disease published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology indicates that yoga may help lower heart disease risk as much as conventional exercise, such as brisk walking.

Not only that, but yoga enables us to connect with our energetic heart: the heart chakra. 

If you'd like to come on a journey to deepen your heart connection and unite with your source of compassion, empathy and love, please email me to secure a place.

Inversions are a part of yoga practice that turn us upside down, literally!  Some people love them, and others avoid them, but if you're curious to learn more and take time to understand the theory and foundations of inversions, then this workshop is for you.  It may help you develop your relationship with inversions, because we know from yoga (being connected to our eternal source) it's not about nailing these funky moves (although that's fun and satisfying), it's about the learning journey - the process.  Through inversions we can shift our awareness to be deeper, more gracious, intuitive and accepting as well as experiencing the physical benefits such as more energy/prana/aliveness!

We'll be spending our time covering:

Theory: Why invert? Considerations/risks. Foundations & principles

Practice: Prep poses & warm up.  Handstands. Arm balances. Headstands

Flow:  Variations. Modifications. Transitions.

Suitable for all levels, but some experience with inversions would be advisable.

Contact: ecoyogasurf@gmail.com to book a spot (limited to 8)

15€ for seasonaires/locals, €18 everyone else.

The winter season is when we give it our all on the slopes and expect our bodies to comply.  

The process of warming up and cooling down, before and after our physical exertion has so many benefits - including the reduction of injuries.  Join a yoga workshop focussed entirely on yin and yang energies, utilising the balance of opposites to develop and aid our mountain prowess. 

The first half is looking at energetic vinyasa flow to activate core muscles, open hips and knees and strengthen arms.  Through conscious sequencing we switch on the dynamic reflexes in order to be ready to respond and navigate the hurdles of the mountain.  In the second half we wind down with long held postures, deep abdominal breath and a shift towards the parasympathetic nervous system - helping us "rest and digest".  Learning to enjoy deep relaxation (naturally) lets the body and mind process everything it has experienced, so its important to always take time for restoration.  By combining both the yin and the yang we can achieve balance and optimal holistic health - in this case, supporting our bodies and mind for maximum slope time.  

Cost: €15 or €12 for seasonaires

The energy of yang is masculine, active and dynamic.  It holds the elements of light, heat, day and Earth which we cultivate in our practice through ujjai breath and postures designed to build strength.  We work through moving, flowing postures and explore the yang tissues - muscles -creating flexibility, agility and power.  We look to strengthen our core, legs and arms with a whole body physical work out involving pranayama (breathing) to ignite the fire in our bellies.  You may even build up a sweat, which is also healthy, as it is the bodies natural detoxification process!  

This is a 1.5 hour vinyasa flow class completed by savasana, all levels are welcome.

The yang meal will complete our day, we hope feel enegised by the fuel is provides post yoga.

In this yin focussed yoga session we explore yin qualities such as femininity, listening and stillness.   The feminine holds the seeds of creation and potentiality.  We are resting and restoring the body through postures that reach the connective tissues rather than the muscles.  If you find it difficult to relax or “switch off” be guided through techniques which will help you experience parasympathetic mode - the opposite of stress!  

This will be an hour long yin practice which is fully accessible to all bodies, followed by yoga nidra - a complete guided relaxation from head to toe.  

There will be a feast of yin flavoured foods and calming drinks for nourishment afterwards.
