I invite you to join me for a day of Mindful Yoga. A mix of gentle movement, breathe awareness, meditation and silence.
Mindful Yoga is a way to move into stillness in order to experience our bodies in the moment and become interested in the way we feel and respond. By doing so we become more fully conscious of ourselves and of our humanity and in doing so find an increased sense of wellbeing and unity.

Many of us come to yoga because of some difficulty in our lives. For some, it is physical – lower back pain or knee discomfort. For others, it is emotional, such as stress and anxiety, and for others the draw is philosophical, the feeling that life lacks meaning. For me it was a combination of these reasons. I discovered although yoga practice certainly can help our aching backs and bolster our spirits, it cannot insulate us from the pain that life inevitably brings – illness, loss, ageing, not getting what we want etc. But what Yoga does do is help us cope with life in a more positive way. Yoga guides us to the realisation that seeking should not be an outward pursuit, but an inward one. To practice yoga in the deepest sense is to commit to developing awareness by observing our lives, our thoughts, our words and our actions. -
