Week in Review - July 22nd

Themes of the week: 1.14 Practice takes time, patience and a positive attitude, Anahata,

1.15 Recognise and diffuse entangling thought patterns.

Classes Taught: 9

We continued our philosophy journey through the Yoga Sutras, moving into Sutra 1.15: "Recognise and diffuse entangling thought patterns.".

“Regret and guilt are just different forms of yearning – the yearning for the past, the yearning for another chance at a decision. Instead, remember yourself, and remember that you followed your own choice." – Nischala Joy Devi, The Secret Power of Yoga

I translated this into feelings of heaviness, akin to carrying a heavy backpack around with you. We enjoyed yoga to relieve the thoracic spine, shoulders and neck.

Glimmers of the Week

On Thursday, I covered a holistic yoga class at Dianas in Wellingborough and was asked to stay on to be a 'model' for the promo of a new class they are offering later this summer.

The class will be led by the lovely Vee, and the style is 'Endurance Yoga'. Although my 'modelling' only provided a glimpse of this class, it was really fun and different from the styles that I teach. It uses weights and resistance bands! If I can, I will definitely attend the session once it has launched.

Our Women's Circle at The Pod was the highlight of my week. Led by Susan Webb, we embraced our creativity. I can't express in words how good it felt to unself-consciously create; I will let the pictures do the talking for me. Our monthly women's circle is welcoming new members; you can book online up until December.
