Yoga by Nature Podcast

This is a ten minute mindfulness meditation working with the sounds. Focusing on the sounds can help to train the mind to receive information without judging or reacting in a kneejerk way.

Dear All,

Thanks for listening. I have recorded this class so I can offer you a really mellow, supported practice which will help to open your shoulders, heart area and your hips. We use some props like an extra rolled mat (or blanket will do nicely) for under the spine, a bolster (or cushion), and of course it's always good to have a blanket and an eye pillow too.

I'm in Spain now, teaching on a Yoga on a Shoestring holiday but I can still post some pics so if you get confused at all with any of the poses then please give me a shout on [email protected] to let me know and I'll take a picture and post it for you on the Yoga Community Podcast Facebook page.

This is a relaxed class with some standing poses to strengthen - we do triangle pose and palm tree pose to get you up and moving and get the energy flowing.

There are spaces on Yoga by Nature's next yoga retreat in Portugal 11th/12th - 19th Sept- it's going to be fabulous doing yoga in the beauty of Central Portugal's lush mountains. We will be staying in luxury teepee accommodation and doing yoga on the yoga platform under the oak trees or in the yoga yurt at the bottom of the garden next to the river. Join us for £500: http://www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk/event/one-week-yoga-retreat-gravito-portugal-11th-19th-sept-2015

Hi! thanks for tuning in. This class is Level 2-3. If you are new to yoga, look for a Level 1 as this class will be too in-depth.

We do poses to release the psoas and also some funky shoulder stretches. Some of the poses require a photo accompaniment and you can find support with images on the Facebook Group here. We flow a bit, go upside down a bit and generally explore in a strong and a subtle way how to create space through the poas muscle and find greater ease through the lower torso. We do Virabhadrasana 1 on only one side so if you are fine with that you will love it and if the thought of it feels like it will mess up your whole day then give it a try anyway!

Have a block and a belt handy for shoulder stretches and pincha mayurasana. If you're not up to doing forearm stand yet then take a dolphin pose instead.

I am now taking bookings for Yoga by Nature's next yoga retreat Sept 11th - 19th at Gravito, Central Portugal. From £500 come and enjoy twice-daily yoga, river swimming, late summer sun, meditation, singing and nightly music jams at this gorgeous eco retreat centre in the lush mountains of Portugal. Read more here.

Lots of love to you
