Just the basics: standing poses, dog head down and relaxation.
This quick yoga session will set you up for the day nicely.
This was filmed a little while ago now, but still relevant.
Enjoy
This little session has attention on the tail bone through a downward dog sequence, forward bends and length along the spine.
With attention to the Low back area, work within your own body’s capacity and respond to your own needs.
Enjoy, love and light,

The yoga poses in this sequence will help release tightness on the inner thighs, hips and groins.
Hold each pose for as long as you are comfortable doing so.
I would recommend practicing this yoga sequence at least a few times.
Familiarise yourself with the poses that you find a little more challenging and see if you gain more freedom after a few repetitions.
Try not to force, but ease your body into each asana.
Enjoy!
Breathe!
Love and light,

I think the title says it all. Iyengar yoga lends itself so well to the correct action in the body during asana. Here I bring a little more verbal cues to the abdominal wall, pelvis and lower back.
Listen to your body, after all your body is your best teacher.

When I have only 15 minutes for a quick yoga practice, I do something a little like this.
As you practice, have strength as your intention.
My first teacher Elizabeth used to remind us “strong practice – strong mind, strong mind – strong practice”
Stay respectful of your body, respond to it’s needs.
Practice and enjoy xx
Yoga twists are such a great way to lengthen and strengthen the paraspinal muscles, rejuvenate the organs as they become squeezed and released, and bring more energy into the body.
B.K.S. Iyengar describes twists as a “squeeze-and-soak” action.
Bharadvajasana is a favourite of mine.
Lets twist again,
like we did last summer,
with a care and consideration.
Enjoy
Moving from dog head down through to standing poses, this practice will energise you body and refresh your mind. I love teaching here in St Ives. If you watch carefully you will see Dan and friends getting out of the water after their swim. Happy days 🙂
Take your yoga outside. Warrior poses need no mat, just good flat non slip shoes or bare feet if the surface is suitable.
10 minutes is the time these three poses took, go on, I’m sure you have time 🙂
Enjoy.
If you fancy an Italian holiday in Ischia, I will be teaching from the 11th -18th June

It was such a beautiful day, I felt the need to stand on one leg.
I love Iyengar yoga, it has supported me for many many years.
This yoga practice will bring strength, balance and poise.
Settle in for a lovely relaxation at the end too.
Enjoy,
love and light,

Here are some simple stretches to bring a bit of fluidity to your shoulders. I also cover tree pose and standing.
This was filmed on the beautiful island of Tresco.
I apologise for some poor sound quality when I turn my back to the camera, I only came out for a walk to meet Dan.
Enjoy x
