Hi yogis,
I hope this finds you well!
Just a quick reminder that we’re back on the mat this evening, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all. Tonight, we’ll be focusing on hip openers.
Hip opening poses are powerful both physically and emotionally. Physically, they increase flexibility and mobility, reducing tension in the lower back and improving posture. Emotionally, our hips are known to store stress and negative emotions. By releasing this tension, we can experience a sense of emotional relief and balance.
Looking forward to sharing this practice with you and helping you release what no longer serves you.
See you on the mat!
Namaste & Love Sima

Dear Yogis,
Tonight, we welcome February’s Snow Moon, a time of quiet reflection and renewal. Just as snow blankets the earth, this full moon invites us to slow down, rest and release what no longer serves us. It’s a beautiful reminder that even in stillness, transformation is happening beneath the surface.
This is a perfect moment to embrace gentle, grounding yoga practices that bring warmth and stability, poses like Child’s Pose, Seated Forward Fold, and Legs Up The Wall help us cultivate deep rest and inner clarity. You might also take a few moments to breathe deeply, journal, or set intentions for the coming weeks.
May this full moon bring you peace, renewal, and clarity as you move through this season.
Wishing you a restful and illuminating full moon!
Love & Light:))

Mid Term Break – Tuesday February 18th.

Dear Yogis,
Tonight, under the light of the Wolf Moon, we find ourselves immersed in the nurturing energy of Cancer. This full moon invites us to reconnect with our emotions and reflect on our need for security and comfort.
The Wolf Moon, named after howling wolves during mid winter, symbolises strength, resilience and community. In Cancer, it brings heightened sensitivity and a deep yearning for emotional balance. You may feel a strong pull toward introspection, self-care, and creating a safe space for yourself and others.
Falling in the sign of water sign, Cancer, this lunation urges us to lean into a new way of being, it may be hard to let go of nostalgia and memories of what has been, but we should shift our perspective and embrace new.
To honour this energy, consider practicing these yoga poses:
1. Child’s Pose ( Balasana ): Embrace grounding ad nurture yourself
2. Bridge Pose ( Setu Bandhasana ): Open your heart and connect with your inner strength.
3. Half Moon Pose ( Ardha Chandrasana ): Channel the moon’s energy and tap into the feminine parts of yourself.
Take this opportunity to breathe deeply and let the moon’s energy guide you toward clarity and emotional harmony.
See you on the mat,
With love & light

Dear Yogis,
Today’s full moon is extra special – It graces us with its luminous energy while aligning with the last meteor shower of the year, a rare cosmic combination.
This is a powerful time to reflect, release and set intentions as we prepare to transition into the new year.
The full moon symbolizes illumination, completion and a heightened sense of intuition. The energy of the meteor shower encourages us to welcome change and spark creativity. Together, these celestial events offer a unique opportunity for renewal and alignment.
To honour this energy, I recommend the following yoga poses in your practice:
Uttanasana ( Standing Forward Fold ) – Encourages grounding and surrender, helping you release what no longer serves you.
Ardha Chandrasana ( Half Moon Balance ) – Connect with the cooling, soothing and nurturing energy of the moon with this balancing pose.
Malasana ( Garland Pose ) – A grounding posture to centre yourself and connect with the earth.
Viparita Karani ( Legs Up The Wall pose ) – Promotes relaxation and opens you to receive cosmic energy.
Savasana ( Corpse Pose ) – Reflect and absorb the powerful energies of the moon and meteors.
Wishing you a magical full moon filled with peace, clarity and inspiration.
With gratitude and light,
Sima

Dear Yogis
As we approach the November full moon—also the final supermoon of 2024—we’re invited to tap into a unique and potent lunar energy. Known as the Beaver Moon, this full moon is traditionally associated with preparing for the winter months ahead, just as beavers prepare their homes. Spiritually, this is a time for us to honor what we’ve accomplished, clear out what no longer serves us, and lay the foundation for a restful, introspective season.
Since this full moon is also a supermoon, the moon’s energy will be especially strong, influencing our emotional and energetic bodies. You may feel an increase in sensitivity, intuition, and a desire for grounding. It’s natural to experience heightened emotions during this time, as the full moon shines a light on things we may need to release to feel more balanced.
Let’s explore how we can align our practice to harness this lunar energy and nurture a sense of stability, grounding, and reflection as we close out the supermoon cycle.
The energy of a full moon often brings about a climax – a peak of insight, awareness and emotional intensity. Being a superman, this November moon will feel even more powerful, with its influence on our emotions amplified. It’s a great time to reflect on where you’re placing your energy and whether there’s anything you need to let go of to move forward.
As the year draws to a close, this moon reminds us to honor what we’ve accomplished, release the old, and focus inward. This lunar energy supports us in letting go of habits, thoughts, or patterns that no longer align with our growth. It’s a time to connect deeply with yourself and set intentions for what you want to cultivate as we enter winter—a season for renewal and introspection.
Yoga Poses to Honor the Full Moon’s Energy
To work with the grounding and reflective energy of this full moon, I encourage you to focus on poses that invite stability, calm, and openness. Here are a few asanas to help you harness and balance the lunar energy:
1. Child’s Pose (Balasana) – A deeply grounding pose that allows you to draw inward and center yourself. As you rest in Balasana, let each exhale release any tension or restlessness within.
2. Garland Pose (Malasana) – This hip-opening posture is perfect for releasing pent-up emotions and energy. Malasana encourages a connection to the earth, symbolizing the stability and grounding we seek during this time.
3. Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana) – A calming, introspective pose that gently stretches the back body and promotes self-reflection. Allow your mind to be quiet and your energy to turn inward as you fold.
4. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) – A heart-opening pose that balances grounded energy with openness. Visualise releasing anything that no longer serves you as you press through your feet and lift your heart.
5. Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana) – Twists are a beautiful way to let go of old patterns and bring fresh energy into the body. As you breathe deeply in this twist, imagine releasing any remaining tensions. 6. Corpse Pose (Savasana) – To end, rest in Savasana, allowing the energy of your practice to settle. Visualise the light of the full moon washing over you, bringing clarity and calm.
Wishing you a peaceful and grounding full moon. May you feel supported by the energy of the moon as you reflect, release and set intentions for the next chapter.
With love and light,
Sima

Dear Yogis,
Tomorrow brings a special moment – the Hunter’s Moon, which is also a Supermoon! This means the moon will be closer to Earth, shining brighter and appearing larger than usual. The energy of a full moon is always powerful, but when it’s a supermoon, the energy is amplified. It’s a great time to align our yoga practice with this lunar energy.
The full moon is a time of completion, reflection and release. It represents the peak of energy, and it’s important to find balance during this time. In Yoga, we connect with the moon’s energy to calm the mind and body, allowing ourselves to reflect and let go of what no longer serves us.
The Hunter’s Moon is traditionally the time to gather and prepare for the winter, so spiritually, it’s a moment to focus on what is truly important and let go of distractions. The supermoon enhances this energy, helping us to look inward, find clarity and reset our intentions.
In Yoga, the Chandra Nadi ( or lunar energy channel ) represents our more introspective, feminine side. Full moons remind us to honour this by practicing with mindfulness, allowing space for emotions and gentle awareness of our inner world.
This full moon is a powerful opportunity to realign with your inner self. Let’s use this lunar energy to find balance, release what no longer serves us and step forward with greater clarity and intention.
With lunar blessings,
Sima

Dear Yogis,
I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits.
I want to inform you of a necessary adjustment to my class prices. It has been many years since I last raised my rates, and in that time, the costs of running the classes have increased. Recently, the Market hall venue underwent refurbishment, and as a result, their fees have risen.
In light of these changes, I believe it’s the right time to adjust the pricing of my classes to reflect both the quality of the space and the value of the sessions. My aim has always been to create a welcoming and supportive environment for you to practice. From October 1st, the new prices will be as follows:
– online classes will be £11.50 per class or £76 for a block of 8 lessons (valid for 10 weeks.) – In-person classes will be £13.50 drop in or £92 for 8 classes (valid for 10 weeks.)
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you again for your loyalty and dedication to your practice. I look forward to seeing you in class soon!
With Love
Sima
