Now is the time you need to practise!

Published: Dec 14, 2018 by Lucy Tennyson

Now - just when you might feel busier than ever - is the time you need to find time for a yoga session. As well as stressed, it’s easy to get over-tired, and then become more vulnerable to bugs and colds as our immune systems take a dip.

Class numbers take a dip too every year at this time. But once the festivities are over, there is a rush back with everyone full of good intentions in the new year.

Even if you can’t make it to a class, try and find time for 15 minutes or so of quiet relaxation during the day - a few rounds of breathing such as we practised this week. Followed by knee hugs and stretches and a few cats and downward dogs.

And before you know it you are doing yoga at home …….  Here’s a reminder of some of what we did this week, thinking of building up to an inversion such as legs up the wall, or shoulder stand.

Here is an energising sequence including both sun and moon salutations. You don’t have to do it all of course, it would take at least an hour, but select some of it to fit in with the time you have. Make sure you end with some stretches and a short relaxation.
