MIZ IS HERE NEXT WEEK
JNANA MUDRA
.
“Divine knowledge makes my life richer and easier; divine wisdom gladdens my heart and shows me the path”
.
We'll be working with Jnana mudra to connect to our own knowledge and consciousness next Saturday at the Yoga & Wellbeing at Iveridge Hall Winter Warmer session. Associated with the colour white – the void in which fullness is found, the colour of birth and death, of new beginnings and completion, unity and peace – Jnana is perfect for winter, this season full of busy-ness and nature's time for hibernation and renewal. It is a mudra used for improving tension and disorder, promoting memory and concentration, it clears the mind, positively influencing our psyche, finding serenity and joy.
.
The best known hand position in Hatha Yoga, Jnana is the gesture of consciousness, in this variation of a passive receiving position with the palm open to Heaven... An all-encompassing gesture affecting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, Jnana symbolises the connected nature of human consciousness (thumbs), the three extended fingers representing three Gunas – tamas (lethargy), rajas (activity), sattva (balance and harmony) – traits that keep the micrcocosm and macrocosm in motion. Jnana mudra is found in many portrayals of deities in various religions; Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity... The closed circle of the index finger and thumb depicts the goal of yoga – the unification of Atman; the individual soul or eternal Self, with Brahman; the universal soul, the ultimate reality. Cosmic ☯️

//SIMPLICITY// Black Friday Cyber Monday madness are upon us - sending isninto@a maelstrom or purchasing insanity.
Consumerism tells us that in order to be happy we must consume as much as possible. If we feel that something is missing or not quite right, then we probably need to buy something to fill the void. Every TV ad is another little legend about how consuming some product or service will make life better.

It doesn’t.

Come to Yoga fill that need. All you need to bring is your body and your mind.
Rosie’s @lotiyoga is teaching #ashtangabeginners at 6.15 followed by #vinyasaflow at 7.30

// LETTING GO IS HARD //
.
Try this week when you come you your mat, to have no agenda, no expectation or no judgement. .
Your mind might want to take you to all those places but choose to see past to the opportunity of new possibilities, new experiences. .
Life is boring when you’ve already written the story in your head. .
The excitement and adventure come in taking yourself down an unknown path, navigating all the twists and turns as they arise. Who knows who you will run into and what you might discover. .
Be open to the wonder and freedom that comes from letting go. Let go of your constraints, as scary as that is, shake them off and live the life that is waiting for you. When you make a conscious choice to free yourself from the shackles of your mind, the whole word can open up to you.
Come to your mat and learn to let go over and over again. Take a breath and begin again.

Winter Warmth workshop
Iveridge Hall // Saturday 14 December 14:00-16:00 + food and chat time

Warm your Self, love your Self.

On the run up to the Winter Solstice we can celebrate hibernating and restoring, giving thanks for our year and embracing the rule of the Moon Goddess whilst the Sun King hides away preparing for Spring and renewal. It's time to nest, and find comfort, release and get ourselves ready for the new energy of the last New Moon and the New Year.

Finding Winter Warmth, physically and emotionally, we'll take a strong slow flow reaching into our bodies steadily exploring our physical possibilities, slowing down dipping into subtle Yin energies and release, before taking a full deep dive into long supported rest, meditating on our breath and the subtleties of our own being. Finding calm and healing inside our Self.

Loving You.

Bring jumpers, socks, your favourite blanket, and if you like some food to share for chat time after the session.

//FOLDING FORWARD//
Forward folds can be calming...💤💤
Draping the upper body over the legs, the mind draws inward, tuning out the noisy business of the world, creating length and breath awareness in the whole back body. However, pushing too far and/or practicing with unsafe alignment can be injurious.
In tonight’s Hatha class, we’ll be examining seated FFslearning to avoid possible injury -feeling relaxed during and after the pose...
✅ MOST IMPORTANT- a non-competitive attitude. Your FF may look WAY from others. That’s TOTALLY fine (and
ending errors, and the instructions that often lead to them. And let’s also l
❌PULLING THE HEAD TOWARD THE KNEES
Try to avoid forcing the face or top of the head down to a straight-leg knee, excessively rounding an often already-excessive thoracic curve.
Think “heart toward knee,” - this a more useful instruction, giving more regard for the integrity of the spine, as the fronts of the spinal discs can become compressed in excessively rounded forward bends. It’s more protective of the fragile hamstring attachments that can be injured when the body is forced into a deep stretch, esp. when the legs are straight
❌THINKING THAT YOUR KNEES HAVE TO BE STRAIGHT
There seems to be an unspoken assumption that if we bend our knees in a forward fold we are somehow doing a ‘lesser version’ of the pose. Offering students with tight psoai and/or hamstrings ‘permission’ to bend allows a more uniform lengthening of the spine. ❌LIFTING THE CHIN TOO MUCH AND COMPRESSING THE BACK OF THE NECK
The cue “Gaze at your big toes” is commonplace, but this can lift the chin too much and compress the back of the neck, still keeping the upper back in an overly rounded position. This neck compression can put pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord, which may result in pain, stiffness, or numbness

Forward folding can be healing for overstressed minds and bodies, soothing jangled nerves and helping us to move within. Folding intelligently, with safe and healthy alignment, allows us to experience the benefits to an even greater degreeI, enhancing their stress-relieving power and making your practice more sustainable #yoga #yogapractice #alignmentyoga

WE’RE DOWN, DOG 🐕....
.
Adho Mukha Svanasana - Downward Dog, is one of the most widely practiced yoga poses on the planet. You could probably even call it the poster child of yoga poses.

During tonight’s Hatha class, with @leedsyogini we’ll be looking at DD in a bit more detail.

At first glance, Downward Dog doesn’t look like an overly difficult pose. However, if you’ve been practicing for awhile, then you know it requires strength, flexibility, and stamina to perform correctly.

Downward Dog is one of the few yoga poses that strengthens and stretches almost every muscle in the body. At the same time, it provides the benefits of other poses, like inversions and backbends. .
We’ll take some time to look at the alignment and ways to modify when needed

...WHEN YOU SKIP YOGA FOR FOUR DAYS...
Sometimes feel like the Tin Man in need of some WD40? 🥫 .
Tonight’s Yin class with Rose @yoga_wellbeing_iveridge is LITERALLY Yoga W40... .
Yin Yoga consists of deep, floor-based postures in stillness for between 3 and 5 minutes. Using very little muscular effort you’re encouraged to find your own individual ‘edge’ – the point of stress, but before pain to enable your body to begin to safely stretch and open.
.
So if you’re feeling stiff at the end of the week, this delicious class is perfect for you. Suitable for all levels.

Yoga is a lifelong practice of curiosity ...
In this evening’s Hatha class, we’ll be examining two of the five warrior poses. Although Warrior 1 & 2 are often seen as foundational (and so straightforward) poses - safe and stable alignment is actually pretty complex, requiring a balance of strength and flexibility and lots of cues about what the various parts of our body should be doing....
We’ll stay curious about the elements of the poses that are challenging and how we can both modify and progress.
Hatha Yoga - Beginners to improvers 7.30-8.30pm .

🚀ROCKET YOGA AT @yoga_wellbeing_iveridge .
What’s Rocket Yoga?
Rocket Yoga breaks down the rigidity of the classical Ashtanga practice with modifications to the traditional sequence to make it more accessible to western practitioners.
Rocket is fast-paced and has a dynamic flow. Its structure is similar to Ashtanga - Surya Namaskar, standing poses, seated poses, twists, and bends.

What makes Rocket Yoga stand apart is that it breaks the concept of hierarchy. Teachers can pick and choose the poses - making it fun and ever changing.
It builds strength and focus, but with more variation and improved alignment cues it feels better on our modern bodies. It is a fun class, often with upbeat music, time to stop and play around with arm balances and its associated strength (which means no matter what your level, you can make progression towards these challenging moves). Come and blast of with Slava at 10am on Thursday 🚀 #rocketyoga #flowyoga #yoga #ashtangayoga #buildstrength #funandflexible #justmove #vinyasayoga #
