COVID protocols 24 February 22

If you feel unwell but do not have COVID symptoms or your test is negative, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate but may still have an illness which could be passed on to other people. Staying at home until you feel better reduces the risk that you will pass on an illness to your friends, colleagues and others in our community.

We will continue to display our NHS QR code which people can use to check in if they wish to. Whilst there is no legal requirement to wear a face covering, you may continue to wear one whilst moving around the studio. These are personal choices which can help reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19. It is important to consider that others may wish to take a more cautious approach. We should all be considerate of this and provide the opportunity and space for others to reduce close contacts as they wish.

Please wash your hands or use hand sanitiser. The skylight will be open continuously for air circulation.
Teachers may chant / OM or practice pranayama and can offer Hands On assists - with your permission. If not required, please place a “No Assists” sticker on mat. At the end of class all doors and windows to let in fresh air .

Thank you for all your support!

Namaste 🙏🏼 Stevie

How To Practice Flower Gazing Meditation: trataka

I noticed these little flowers coming up in Goose Green whilst out walking the dog.

MEDITATION TO RELIEVE ANXIETY, LIFT A LOW MOOD AND RESTORE BALANCE & CONNECTION



Flower Gazing Meditation

Allow your gaze to fall on one flower. If you don’t have any flowers nearby, this picture is fine. Place yourself about a foot away, and feel conscious of your body’s contact with the ground. Connect with the earth and the sunshine that grew the flower sitting before you. Gaze at it with soft, relaxed eyes. Blink normally, smile softly and relax your facial muscles. Look at it as if it’s the first time you’ve ever seen a flower. Discover what it reeeeeally looks like. Avoid labelling what you’re looking at; instead of focusing on “petals” or “pollen”, see the unique shapes, colours, textures and notice any scents in front of you. Feel its vibrant life energy. When thoughts come up, notice them, and gently redirect your attention to the flower in front of you, neither pushing them away nor indulging them. You can meditate for a couple of minutes or as long as you like. Close your eyes for a minute or so. See if you can still see its image in your mind or feel its presence in front of you. Continue with the rest of your day and see if you feel calmer, more relaxed, and your attention is clearer. If you start practicing this regularly, you just might start noticing the specific details and beauty not just in flowers, but in every common object you come across.

 "Those who engage with nature are more likely to take an active role in helping protect it."

Love influences all aspects of human existence

When we feel love, we are truly connecting with our authentic Self. 

Love is powerful medicine. Self-love is the most important love we can invite into our lives. If we care for and love ourselves, then we are able to share love with others. Healthy relationships can even protect against disease and restore the body in the face of illness. A regular yoga practice (twice a week) can help to heal your mind and spirit, whilst improving strength throughout your body and help you to love yourself and those around you. Yoga is still considered (after 5,000 years!) one of the most powerful forms of exercise, self-healing and mindfulness around today.

NEW FOCUS ON WARRIORS

The studio will be more focused on students ready to develop a regular yoga practice (at least twice a week) as this is the best way we can benefit our community. More commitment, less no shows.
