This term we will be working towards this variation of Ardha Chandrasana (half moon pose). I'm not sure whether the hand to foot connection is technically considered a bind, so I will not call it that. But I have chosen this pose and this specific image (you will find lots of variations of this variation with a quick Google search) because it embodies what this "bound" half moon pose is about: keeping the balance and the outward openness of the chest and top hip, while bringing in shades of Natarajasana. Seemingly easy, for this pose to feel effortless, our attention is required in many different areas at once while holding the whole form and flow of energy in our mind. Picture from yogaclassplan.com
A really beautiful and timely read not only about what restorative yoga or yoga is, but more importantly on how to live well, how to move and be in this world - which seems to become increasingly senseless - with grace and at ease. If you have 5-10 minutes to spare, maybe pause the scrolling for a bit, and spend some time with Judith Hanson-Lasater's heartfelt words. It may well change your outlook; for the hour, for the day, for life, who knows? ❤️❤️❤️

In my pregnancy yoga class I aim to create a safe and inclusive environment where pregnant women can feel comfortable to share their experience, wishes and fears with each other and learn from one another. While I personally don't advocate for any specific way to give birth, I am a firm and vocal advocate of being informed, being asked your consent for various procedures and remembering at every point in your labour and birth journey that you have CHOICES. With that in mind I'd like to share the following. Changing the way we think about the care that is being provided to us and how this is delivered, has the potential to transform not only our experience but more practically and tangibly the outcome for both ourselves and our baby. Thanks for reading 🙏
*No morning class today* Sorry about that. Back again next week! 🙏
New logo! So pleased that after 5 years I finally have something unique to me and my business. Together we've been through a lot: self doubt, obstacles and uncertainty, yet, here we both are, going strong and looking forward to a bright future! The inspiration for the logo came from the ancient Greek meander motifs that used to decorate pottery, floors, house facades and many more. Although I've toyed with the idea of changing my name from Canny Yoga to something more Sanskrit, serious and professional sounding, in the end I decided to stick with Canny as a way to pay homage to my adopted home, Newcastle. And as Yoga means union, this is a perfect example of union for me: the Greek heritage sitting side by side with the English North's culture. I hope I do it all justice. Namaste 🙏
Most amazing thing I saw today! Unity in action 🙏
