RM Yoga

Yang and Yin Yoga Workshop
Saturday 1st June, 3pm – 5pm
Glow Yoga, Good Vibes, 14-16 Betterton Street, Covent Garden

Join me for a powerful and dynamic yang practice using the most effective yoga asana and pilates movements to strengthen, tone and get your inner fire burning brightly. In addition there will be a short, sweet yet strenuous core sequence for you to take home to practice and develop further over the summer months.To balance, we’ll release with floor-based cooling and opening restorative poses and a meditation to promote santosha (contentment) to soothe the soul, promote wellbeing and leave you brimming with joie de vivre…

Glow Yoga at Good Vibes Fitness is an infra-red heated bespoke yoga studio (the first of it’s kind in Europe) and a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the West End. The 28C heat is deliciously soothing rather than overpoweringly hot.

Places are £25, to book please contact Good Vibes Fitness on 020 7240 6111 or email reception [Email address: reception #AT# goodvibesfitness.co.uk - replace #AT# with @ ]

Join me on the Saturday 26th January 2013 from 3pm to 5pm at Glow Yoga at Good Vibes Studio in Covent Garden to detox & de-stress after the festivities.

We’ll look at letting go of what no longer serves us with a cleansing and revitalizing candle lit practice, with deep core activation, mindful movement, restorative yoga and a guided relaxation in the soothing 30 degree warmth of the Glow Yoga studio to leave you feeling serene.

This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.

£25 per person, to book please call Good Vibes on 020 7240 611 or email reception [Email address: reception #AT# goodvibesfitness.co.uk - replace #AT# with @ ]


The human body, at peace with itself
Is more precious than the rarest gem
Cherish your body, it is yours this one time only
The human form is won with difficulty
It is easy to lose
All worldly things are brief
Like lightening in the sky
This life you must know
As the tiny splash of a raindrop
A thing of beauty that disappears even as it comes into being
Therefore set your goal
Make use of every day and night
To achieve it

Thank you to yoga teacher Norman Blair for sharing this beautiful poem by 14th Century Tibetan Meditation teacher Tsongkapa

I had to put it up here

Phillip Askew and Lydia Walker – Variations on Surya Namaskar

Up until a few years ago I guess you could say I was a bit of a yoga purist and the pilates classes I had been to had always seemed, well, rather dry in comparison! Not so Jeannie di Bon’s Creattiva Pilates in Hinchley Wood.

I have found Jeannie’s real passion for anatomy and movement combined with her thorough understanding of the pilates system to be incredibly complimentary to my yoga practice and to my core strength and stability. Yoga and pilates together make a super rewarding combination and the idea that they are opposing disciplines, where if you practice one you don’t need the other, isn’t necessary. Joseph Pilates himself was a keen practitioner of yoga and it’s fascinating to see the influence of yoga asana on pilates poses…

I am thrilled to be part of the team at Creattiva and I am available at the studio for private  yoga sessions and small group classes.
