Headaches can be caused by lots of things but when they are caused by tension in the neck and shoulders you might find relief with some gentle stretches and self massage.Don’t just wait until the headache has started doing releases regularly can be preventative too.Give this a save for when you need it.

Pull up a chair, leave the chores, the workload, the day behind.

And join me for a 10 minute reset.

The world won’t stop, but you’ll feel so much better…

Someone asked me recently if I had any tips for practicing yoga during grief.And the answer is no. Not really.To practise yoga is to practise life, and just as with life, there’s no right way to do it.We’re all just humans trying to navigate this absurd world with these absurd bodies, in this absurd thing called life.We can learn so much from the wisdom in these traditional practices but we have to walk the actual path alone.And at the same time it’s a path that all humans must travel; connected in our aloneness.All I can offer is to listen, to see your humanness and hope you see mine.🌺🌺🌺🌺

Welcome to our Complete Beginner's Yoga Course!

How exciting that we’ll be going on this journey together. Today’s class is quite slow and is focused on getting us used to being on the mat and doing yoga.

Yoga isn’t about being competitive, or being ‘the best’, it’s about learning to listen to your body and finding peace with where you are. This might feel strange at first, especially as it goes against the hustle culture that we live in. So give yourself time, and maybe do this class more than once.

Go at the pace that works for you, feel free to leave bits out or modify the postures in any way. Everything I say is a suggestion, you are the expert in your own body.

The course is centred around the 5 Yamas in yoga, I briefly talk about each one in every class, but if you're curious and want to know more about Yoga philosophy - head to the Happy Yoga Podcast which explains all (link below).

If you do the class please leave a comment and I’ll comment back!

Withdrawal of the senses (Pratyahara) is the fifth of the eight limbs of Yoga

It is advisable to listen to "The Yoga Sutras" episode before you listen to this one.

When we withdraw the senses, we're not trying to switch the senses off, we are just becoming attuned to the subtle. Easier said than done in this over-stimulating world we live in because there's so much information being fed to our brains all day, every day.

In this episode Jo explores why we sometimes feel discomfort when we try to withdraw our senses.  It takes practice to "switch off" and ground yourself.
