Our yoga practice can serve us however we're feeling in the moment. Maybe it is to invigorate, energise and burn off the thoughts. Maybe it is to find moments of calm and peace when find ourselves racing through life. This flow has only one intention - to feel good! Let this flow be your reset button; that feeling when you take a deep sigh at the end of the day when you know your work is done. We will flow and stretch out the side body and shoulders, open the chest, twist out the spine and stretch the quads and hips so we can breathe in calm and let the lips curl into a smile that we can take with us off our mat ✨️😊🙏☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Weekly Class ScheduleAll classes are in-studio and on ZoomSaturday 10:30-11:30am Rise and Shine Yoga (open to all levels)Saturday 11:45 – 1:15pmAshtanga YogaSaturday 1:30 – 2:30pmBeginners Yoga 6 Week Course(See website for next start date)Thursday 6 – 7pm Slow Flow Yoga (open to all levels)Thursday 7:15 – 8:15pm Vinyasa Flow Yoga#yoga #bradford #yogabradford #ashtanga #vinyasaflow #hatha #beginnersyoga #mindfulness #meditation #yogaonline #zoomyoga #self-care #healthandwellness #wellbeing #holistichealth ...

I have just spent a glorious few days up on the beautiful Holy Island, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the sun (and wind!) on my face. Savouring the smell of the sea and the sound of the waves. Listening to the birds, admiring the beauty of nature and gazing at the stars. Sometimes it can feel like life is getting on top of us and we can feel overwhelmed and stressed out. Bringing our awareness to the senses, what we can hear, see, smell, taste and feel, can help anchor us and allow us to enjoy the moment. To shift our perspective and to remind us to enjoy each moment as best we can and to celebrate it for the gift that it is. Often, we build patterns and habits that trap us into a spiral of seeking more, a feeling that we aren't enough. The author William Martin reminds us"Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself."A reminder that to find wholeness and fulfillment in today's world, we need to challenge and change the unhelpful conditioning playing out within us, and adopt a new more life affirming, uplifting and authentic way of navigating life so we can unwind into our true self and open our eyes, mind and heart to the extraordinary gifts of ordinary life.So tonight's flow will allow us to anchor ourselves in the senses of the body - the feeling of the breath. This flow will decompress the stress with soothing breathwork and a steady flow to release the parts of the body where we often hold stress. Look forward to shoulder and upper back stretches, hip release and twists to decompress stress and let the inner calm flow ✨️💚#yoga #bradford #yogabradford #ashtanga #vinyasaflow #hatha #beginnersyoga #mindfulness #meditation #yogaonline #zoomyoga #self-care #healthandwellness #wellbeing #holistichealth ...

Eka Pada Koundinyasana II (also known as Hurdler or flying splits) is an advanced arm balance, which, on first glance, you may think, "I'll never be able to do that"(nor may you wish to!). But as with all advanced postures, it all starts with strong foundations. If you think about building a house, you don't put the roof on first. Instead, the building starts at the base with sturdy foundations and supporting walls. Each brick layer provides support for those above so finally the roof can sit confidently on top. In the same way, all arm balances need a strong base, namely arm and core strength. This particular arm balance also needs flexibility in the hips, groin, and hamstrings. So, in this flow, we start to build the strong foundations of this posture as we flow through lots of hip, groin, and hamstring stretches, with the option to gradually go deeper. Scattered with some (fun!) core and arm-strengthening and finishing with a little look at the mechanics of the posture with an option to give it a go if you are in the mood =) As with all advanced postures, it is a journey that will no doubt be sprinkled with some face-plants along the way! These are symbolic of your willingness to try and to step out of your comfort zone. Think of each attempt as a pane of glass in your house, allowing you to see inside the posture so you slowly build up the technique and understanding so when the time comes you can fly your splits in style 💚☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Weekly Class ScheduleAll classes are in-studio and on ZoomSaturday 10:30-11:30am Rise and Shine Yoga (open to all levels)Saturday 11:45 – 1:15pmAshtanga YogaSaturday 1:30 – 2:30pmBeginners Yoga 6 Week Course(See website for next start date)Thursday 6 – 7pm Slow Flow Yoga (open to all levels)Thursday 7:15 – 8:15pm Vinyasa Flow Yoga#yoga #bradford #yogabradford #ashtanga #vinyasaflow #hatha #beginnersyoga #mindfulness #meditation #yogaonline #zoomyoga #self-care #healthandwellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #ekapadakoundinyasana #flyingsplits #hurdlerpose ...

Today is the Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara), where everything hangs in perfect balance - light and dark, yang and yin. The wonderful time of year when the days start to get longer, nature springs back to life, the birds are singing, and the buds begin to unfurl with spectacular colour. The Spring Equinox represents the cyclical nature of life; it's a festival of balance and potential when we witness an emerging, expansive, active energy of the Earth that births new life. A season of awakening and renewal - in nature and in our own life. The time in the cycle of seasons to clear space before new ideas, inspiration, and energy can take root. Shed what's heavy, rekindle our energy, pause, breathe, and awaken. A reminder that even as the seasons shift, we can pause, reconnect, and reflect on life's cyclical nature; growth, rest, and renewal. The Equinox is a symbol of balance amongst the constant unwinding of the seasonal energies."Ostara is the dawn of Spring, the entry way to Summer. At the Spring Equinox the Earth stands fresh and renewed. Let us all be like the Earth, let us cast away the darkness of Winter and embrace the wonder of green growing things. May we find delight in that which blooms around us and let us never forget our responsibility to this place we call home. This world is magickal place, may the power of our Lady and the beauty of Nature remind us of that everyday we draw breath.” by Jason Mankey, Patheos.comSo tonight, we celebrate the circle of life in a mandala-style flow, where we will take a tour around our mat in all different directions as well as taking a tour around the whole body to stretch out shoulders, hips, hamstrings, side body with some juicy core and backbends to boot 🙂 Go with the flow, she'd what you no longer need and let the change in direction as we move on our mat open us up to a new perspectives and new directions as we move off our mat and into Spring 💚☀️🌿🌷#yoga #bradford #yogabradford #ashtanga #vinyasaflow #hatha #beginnersyoga #mindfulness #meditation #yogaonline #zoomyoga #self-care #healthandwellness #wellbeing #holistichealth ...
