The 7 points of sitting meditation is our focus during our online yoga classes at the moment.

Anyone can do it, anywhere - particularly good to do outside with nature 🧘‍♂️ 🌳 (This is my new favourite spot for meditation outside)

A simple way to train and settle the mind using our breath and 7 parts of our body.

Find a suitable comfortable place to sit, on a chair, bench or on the ground.

✨Close your eyes and notice your breathing. Settle into your space.
✨Sense the feeling of the following 7 places in your body and repeat, pausing in between.

1. Seat (grounded, supported)
2. Spine (upright, relaxed)
3. Shoulders (resting, easing down)
4. Chin (tucked for long neck )
5. Tongue (resting in lower jaw)
6. Eyes (closed behind soft eyelids)
7. Hands (At ease in lap)

Come back to your breathing at the abdomen (natural, effortless).
Aware of your whole body sitting, breathing & being here now 💚 for as long as you like ✨

This practice always reminds me of my wonderful BWY diploma course tutors Bob & Be Insley, without whom, I would not be doing what I love to do now 🙏💓

This fun has been going round on IG for a while and @annecyogagirl tagged me to play......so here we are.....
.
My first yoga class was (I think) when I was 27. My best friend and #partnerincrime @louisejhart had moved to Kent and we needed a rendez vous point! So, we found a leisure centre half way between the two of us and signed up for a yoga class. I went into the class looking for her, but she wasn't there....... and I was too embarrassed to walk out! Hoping she'd walk in a bit late, I continued with the class....... It turned out that she was waiting for me in the car park 🙈 we got better at communicating after that!!!! I carried on with that fab teacher Simon Levitt (who I can't find on IG) for ages, until I changed jobs and couldn't make his class any more. .
Fast forward 2 babies later (you know how it is, never enough to do when you have 2 toddlers 🤣🤣😱😱) and I signed up for my #bwy #britishwheelofyoga foundation course which had me hooked and led immediately to my #teachertraining with @bobinsley and @zoe_a_knott along with @be.insley @bushhouse and @deenamann - surely the A team of teacher trainers??? 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Tagging @suziyoga7 @bowlingandyoga and @jadebellyyoga if you haven't already played my dears?

I discovered a form of yoga for the first time when I was 20.
I was a gym bunny to be honest, I loved all high impact classes, spin, body pump, weights, treadmills and attended Pilates. I was so highly strung and inflexible. Suffered from frozen shoulders and gym related injuries, I even broke my ankle!
At the time ‘body balance’ classes were extremely popular and a friend encouraged me to attend. They were a fusion of pilates, tai chi and yoga. However they couldn’t get me to stay put for the relaxation, I just couldn’t handle doing nothing for 10 minutes. Little did I know how much I actually needed it.
Discovering my love for making shapes I was keen to find a yoga class.
I stumbled across an Incredible teacher who was running a master class at my local gym, I can’t remember her name, gutted she wasn’t local, however I was hooked!
Sadly for years I went from teacher to teacher trying to find her way of teaching.
In 2005 I was diagnosed with dukes stage 4 bowel cancer which for obvious reasons put my life on hold! The next few years were dedicated to just surviving. I spent many months in hospitals and wheel chairs. You can only imagine.
As soon as I was able I decided I wanted to seriously look into yoga so at the end of 2006 I embarked on my first foundation course with the British Wheel Of Yoga. Sadly it was short lived as in 2007 I was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer so again my family and I went into survival mode. More surgery and treatment. In all, I think I had 7 major surgeries related to cancer.
I was to return to a physical yoga practice a couple of years later. However throughout my treatment I used breathing practising and meditation techniques as much as possible.
I believe everything happens for a reason.
In 2009 I discovered Iyengar and an incredible senior teacher, who made me realise that there was far more to yoga than just making shapes. In yoga heat is generated within the body, she made me sweat in simple tadasana. That was a light bulb moment for me. Understanding alignment!

Around the same time, I was blessed to stumble across two of the most amazing yogis in the world who I now call my ‘yoga papa and mama...

Day 2 #GroundingWithDrishti 👀 is #urdvhadrishti in #revolvedwideleggedforwardfold - a great twist and focal point, even when the sky was constantly moving 😄
@be.insley - do you remember us talking about this twist in Mallorca and me getting tangled in knots? 😂😂
