Are you listening to your body?

Millions of people struggle each day with feelings of inadequacy about their physical body. In fact, studies have shown that the majority of women don't like what they see in the mirror. When you practice yoga you certainly aren't immune to the complex web of cultural forces that contribute to the epidemic of self-loathing. After all, it's not always easy to reconcile life in an image-conscious world where the body is simply the vessel through which we process judgement.
A regular yoga practice creates a way for us to learn how to listen to our body. While we may have come to the mat looking for a "yoga butt," when we get there, we’re able to connect with our body in a way that gives us greater awareness of how to create with our body rather than constantly judging our appearance.
By taking time to connect and be present with our body with each pose we begin to enjoy it as we play with the movement. Over time, this enables us to be grateful when we look into the mirror as we begin to step into creating our body beyond judgement.
Our body is always talking to us if we listen to it and take good care of it, it will show up different in ways we have never imagined possible.

Slim down with Yoga

Our yoga core class is a fun way to burn calories and get into shape the more you go the stronger you become.

Each class begins with a warm-up period, and then goes into aerobic stepping for about 30 minutes followed by resistance training and dynamic yoga stretching to strengthen your core muscles. The music is exciting and has a driving beat. The class is upbeat, and there is plenty of laughing and sweating — the hour goes by really fast!

Here's some reasons why Yoga Core is such a great choice:

Interval training. Alternating movements to music in segments maximizes body toning and sculpting.
Calorie burning. In addition to benefiting your heart and lungs, this type of aerobic exercise can help you burn excess calories.
Core muscles. We also concentrate on the muscles of the abdomen, back, buttocks, and upper legs, which are your core muscles. These are the most important muscles for spine stability and overall aerobic fitness. Again this activates calorie burning that continues on well after the class has finished.

Tips to help maximise the benefits;
As with any exercise you should always consult your doctor if you have any questions about class make contact.
  • Be comfortable. Dress comfortably and make sure to have good support for your feet. The lateral movement of stepping can put stress on feet and ankles.
  • Bring water with you. It’s important to stay well hydrated during a one-hour class.
This class is fun and social the more you go the more you enjoy yoga!

How to reduce stress...the easy way!

Would you like more Peace and Ease with your body? 

What if you could;

    Access Bars London
  • Reduce stress
  • Increased awareness
  • Better self-image
  • More happiness 
  • Improved health and fitness
  • Enhanced creativity
  • Enriched relationships
  • Expanded money flows
I'd like to invite you to a different possibility called the Bars.

The Bars is a hands-on body process that clears limiting thoughts, beliefs, and emotions stored over many lifetimes. Did you know that 98% of our points of view and thoughts don't originate from within ourselves, and that we are constantly picking up stuff from everyone around us? When we have our bars run, it's like deleting the junk files on a computer — more space becomes available to create a new reality.

I offer private bars sessions in London and Surrey | Make contact and book your session today

“After having my Bars run I was so relaxed, had much more clarity and felt totally energised. I went to work the next day and everyone noticed a ‘new me’. The experience left me with such a positive note that I feel anyone who is looking for more relaxation and greater clarity in their life would definitely benefit from a Bars sesion.”

Reach for a Healthier Back

Gravity. A poorly fitting chair. The emotions you feel during the day. Bad posture. Stress.
These are all things that can create compression in your lower back. And, as we all know, with compression comes pain. But you can reduce compression and relieve pain at any point during the day with this simple exercise.

Sit comfortably on your chair with your knees open to hip distance and your feet flat on the floor. Take a deep breath in and stretch your arms up overhead. Interlace your fingers and turn your palms towards the ceiling, pressing your sitting bones down while reaching up. Keep your arms straight alongside your ears and turn to the right, feeling the stretch on the left ribs and hip. Take five deep breaths, then switch sides.

Restore Energy

Sometimes when you're tired, the best medicine is a restorative, rather than an active, yoga practice. Almost nothing feels as good as relaxing into the floor after a stressful day. If you're in need of a little renewal, take some time for you with this restorative Reclining Bound Angle Pose.
Enter Bound Angle Pose by sitting up tall on your sitting bones and bending your knees. Place your feet against one another and bring them as close to your body as your knees allow. Then, lean back on your hands, lowering your back and head to the floor. (You may support your head and torso on a pillow, a bolster, or blanket under your spine, to help open your chest, if you like.) If your knees don't easily release toward the ground or if you feel any strain in your groins, support each of your thighs on a block or folded blanket (phone books or dictionaries also work well). Rest your arms on the floor or place the backs of your hands on your thighs. Relax, breathe, and stay in this posture for five minutes if possible. 
To come out, use your hands to bring thighs together, roll to one side, and push yourself away from the floor, allowing your head to follow your torso.


How to soothe a tired back


Does your back often get tired?
Do you carry a laptop or heavy bag? 
Do you have one shoulder higher than the other?

Yoga can be a wonderful healing practice for a variety of back ailments (especially scoliosis).
These can be greatly improved by doing poses that lengthen the spine, such as this nurturing Standing Forward Fold.

Have a go;
1.     Stand with your feet at hip distance with the outside edges of your feet straight facing forward (parallel to each other).
2.     Place your hands on your hips and bend your knees.
3.     Fold forward slowly until your head points toward the floor. Keep the knees soft enough that your stomach rests on your thighs (even if your hamstrings are very loose).
4.     Now release your arms over your head. Bend your elbows and hold on to your opposite elbow, letting the weight of your arms deepen the release on your spine.
5.     Stay for at least five to ten breaths, then release your elbows and roll up slowly, stacking your joints.




ahhh doesn't that feel better....
