Practicing yoga has proven to be an effective treatment for many medical conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, back pain and joint pain, obesity, depression and other mental health issues.

Well done to everyone who took part in the yoga challenge of 108 sun salutations with me this morning to raise money for Ashbourne Animal Ark. High fives to the other teachers @cmccann7 @sophiahalyckyj @jerromes_fitness_and_pilates who also volunteered their time today to teach classes. Huge thanks to studio manager Charlotte @calmyogastudio for organising such a great event and raising £700 for the charity. #karmayoga #giveyourtime #community #yoga #108 #108sunsalutations #yogachallenge #yogateacher #ashtanga #ashtangayoga @ Calm - Yoga, Pilates & Mindfulness Studio
My lovely friend Alex is co-hosting his first vegan festival next month and it's going to be wonderful! There will be live music and DJs, food, clothes, treatments and talks. I will be cramming all I know about staying healthy on a plant-based diet into a one hour lecture in the afternoon. You don't have to be vegan to attend. If you're interested in the lifestyle and would like to find out more or simply immerse yourself in vegan stuffs amongst like-minded people, then come along to this event at Himley Country Hotel.
For further information, click on the event link below.
Ashtanga Full Primary Series Workshop, 2pm this afternoon at @calmyogastudio in Burton.
This workshop runs at the end of every month and gives students the chance to explore the method in its entirety with a different focus for each month. Book each month through Calm Yoga's app or website. ✌🧘♀️

Back to the world of triathlon after a 5 year hiatus. Good to be back. 💪 See some of you tomorrow morning for a 90 minute led ashtanga class, 8.30am start. Do the things your future self will thank you for. ✌ #yoga #yogateacher #yogalove #triathlon #swimbikerun #vegansofig #veganathlete #plantbased #fitness #veganismisnotadiet #health
One of my favourites. Can be done with or without the kettlebell. Helps to build strength in the supportive muscles in the feet and ankles. Strengthens muscles around the lower back and hips and improves hip mobility. For additional work, open the hip and swing leg out to the side and back before closing the hip again to come up.. if you've attended one of my vinyasa flow classes you know I love that hip mobility flow stuff! 😜 Give them a try. #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #yogaknowledge #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #strength #balance #hipmobility #lowerback #hamstringworkout #fitness #fitfam #yogateacher #ashtanga
Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years. ~ Japanese proverb Don't allow the lazy part of you to win. Inertia leads to stagnation.

**ASHTANGA YOGA CLASSES** *EVERY TUESDAY & THURSDAY EVENING AT 6.30PM AND SUNDAY MORNINGS AT 8.30AM*
The method of practice taught in Ashtanga Yoga relies on the linking of yoga postures through prescribed movements and incorporates the synchronisation of deep, rhythmic breathing and movement with a steady gaze. The practice builds heat in the body to burn away toxins, strengthening and purifying the nervous system. It offers a meditative experience for the practitioner, enco...urages introspection and, with a consistent practice, brings a deep sense of contentment and inner peace. A side effect of the practice is a strong, light and agile body.
If you're the sort of person who enjoys a physical challenge and you're looking for a way to release tension from the body whilst calming the mind, get in touch to book your place in one of my classes.
All classes are 90 minutes long and £8 pay-as-you-go or £30 for monthly membership.

Live out your passion selflessly, without expecting a thing in return. Find your gift and give it away. We all have something good to give this world. 💚 #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #meditation #yogaphilosophy #philosophy #nietzsche #passion #motivation #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #yogateacher #ashtanga
Every posture in the ashtanga yoga method has a drishti (a point of gaze). There are 9 drishtis in total.. the nose, between the eyebrows, thumbs, hands, toes, navel, up, to the right and to the left. Drishti is a very important part of the practice. Holding your drishti means you're less likely to look around the room at what anybody else is doing in their practice, helping you stay completely focused on your own breath, your own practice and on the internal aspect of the practice. #Janusirsasana #janusirsasanaA #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #yogaknowledge #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaphilosophy #ashtangavinyasa #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #drishti #yogapose #yogateacher
There are 6 poisons of the heart according to the Yoga Shatra... kama (desire), krodha (anger), moha (delusion), labha (greed), matsarya (envy) and mada (laziness). Dissolve these poisons from around your heart through a disciplined practice of yoga techniques and pure love will begin to shine from your heart, bringing you contentment and a deep inner peace. 💚 #bharadvajasana #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #meditation #yogaphilosophy #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #intermediateseries #love #peace #yogapose #yogashatra
The challenge of witnessing your world without judgement. Just to see without making assumptions, without prejudice, without referring back to your own experiences. This is yoga. #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #meditation #yogaphilosophy #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogateacher #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #philosophy #quoteoftheday #krishnamurti #quotes
"Wherever your mind applies it's full power of attention, there you make a seat for yourself." ~ from the Rig Veda

🌍 Prakriti is the material world; nature, matter, thoughts, feelings, the senses. Purusha is consciousness or pure awareness. Without Prakriti, Purusha cannot know itself. It is only through nature, through life, that consciousness can become aware of itself. All life is a spontaneous work of art. Consciousness does not care for how it experiences itself. Consciousness is not bound by materialism or morality. If we destroy life on earth, consciousness doesn't care. Consciousn...ess will find ways to exist whether through humans, fish or cockroaches. We won't destroy life, we will simply destroy our world as it is now. The question is are we aware enough to realise the disaster that approaches for our world? Are we selfless enough to recognise how our own actions affect our future? We change the future not by asking our governments to act, we change it by looking at ourselves. Through introspection we find how we may be contributing to the problem. Many sit in traffic, frustrated, annoyed and complaining about the traffic, not realising that they themselves are the traffic. Happy earth day. 🌍
