My aim is to bring joy to as many people as I can through Yoga, mindful movement, wellbeing and music / sound

Our Singing Circle is a safe, playful, and joyful

Our Singing Circle is a safe, playful, and joyful space for people to come together through song

When we sing together, we return to something ancient and sacred - a way to feel more alive and connected to ourselves, each other, and the world around us

This isn’t a choir. There’s no sheet music. All voices are welcome.

We encourage shared joy and connection over perfection

The songs we sing are simple and easy to learn and you are welcome to add your own harmonies, percussion, vocal sounds, dance - anything that feels good to you!

And if you don’t feel like singing, sit back and enjoy the energy of the voices around you.

This is a welcoming, therapeutic song circle

Join us for an evening of sound and joyful connection

In our classes this week we've been exploring Asteya, or non stealing.

This goes far beyond physical objects. For example, you can steal someone's time by being late, you can steal someone's energy, and you can even steal someone's success by feeling envious or jealous.

This caused me to reflect on the ways I might be stealing from my own happiness and wellbeing:

- choosing to sit looking at my phone rather than.... well doing anything else!
- putting myself down when someone compliments me
- rather than enjoying rest or slower days, spending them feeling guilty about all the things that I could or should be doing
- comparing my wonderful and nuanced life to highlight reels of others
- dealing with 'triggers' with internal criticism, rather than compassion and understanding
- choosing to clean, or as I like to call it, "cleancrastinating" instead of doing something creative - ie making music

The list could go on

I love how teaching Yoga philosophy encourages me take time to self reflect

How do you steal from your Yoga Practice?
How do you steal from your wellbeing? 🙏

It's a cool, damp October morning. I've set up my chair for a meditation to start my day. But before I can sit down, Akiko jumps up onto the chair. And she sits there, looking out into the field, taking in the sights, smells and sounds. Totally present and content in the moment. She sits there like that for almost 5 minutes, until a rabbit hops by and she gets curious!

Yesterday was world meditation day and this memory with Akiko immediately came to my mind!

Akiko often reminds me to take a moment to pause, to breathe, to be here now. She even knocks my phone out of my hand when I've been on it a little too long!

I've found having a consistent morning meditation practice to be so important for my mental wellbeing.

As someone who lives in my head 🙂‍↕️ I find it vital to take 5 - 15 minutes a day to listen to my body, to notice and calm my breath and to simply sit with my thoughts and feelings.

I've tried various types of meditation over the years, but at the moment I'm simply watching my breath, labelling the inhales and exhales and when I notice my mind wandering (which it does constantly) I label it 'thinking' and go back to my breath.

It leaves me feeling a little more grounded, regulated and aware.

I do have to make sure I sit up to meditate though as I definitely fall asleep if I lie down!!

What's your relationship with meditation?

Do you think Akiko should lead her own mediation classes? 😂

Thanks so much to @northamptonshoe for a wonderful
