The current Level 1 Course is fully booked and under way. A new six week Beginners/Level 1 course starts on 5th January. See the Class Timetable for more details.

I have been promising you lunchtime yoga for some time now. Well here it is! From the end of October I will be teaching lunchtime classes at both Dance City (Thursdays 12.10-12:55pm from 30th October, and Saturdays 11am-12pm from 25th October) and Jesmond Pool (Fridays 12.15-1.30pm). These will be drop-in classes. For more details see Class Timetable.

The next available Level 1: Beginners: Basics class is open for booking. Classes take place on Mondays 7.45-8.45 at Newcastle Buddhist Centre. The course runs for six consecutive weeks (3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th November and 1st & 8th of December). For more details and for booking, please see the Class Timetable.

A new comprehensive city centre timetable begins Monday 8th September. Designed to help you get the most from your yoga practice, it features classes at three levels, as well as open classes. For more information see the Class Timetable. Feel free to email me if you have questions about which combination of classes would work best for you.

The Level/ Beginners’ Yoga Course due to take place on Mondays 7.45-8.45 (8th September to 13th October) is fully booked. Due to the popularity of the course it will not be possible to attend this class on a drop-in basis. Email Kim to enquire about future Level 1 courses and alternative classes to attend on a drop-in basis.

Well, I thought I was going to post several comments during my time at Windfire Yoga Retreat this summer, but I kept hearing (and feeling the wisdom of) the same message over and over again. That message was simply to feel more, as posted below. To give one’s attention to being present to the changing sensations in one’s body gives you direct access to the inherent wisdom of your body and mind, thereby helping to reveal the eight limbs (Asta Anga) described by Patnjali in the Yoga Sutras (more of this later!).

I thought I would post a few snippets from my time spent at Windfire this summer. So here is number one:

There is no such thing as an advanced Yoga posture. To be advanced is to FEEL MORE.

Yoga is unity, is wholeness, is indivisibility, is inextricability, is irreplacabilty, is imperfectability just as you are. GODFREY DEVEREUX
