Where to find me 🤍

Just because Park Yoga has come to an end for the season doesn’t mean our time on the mat has to!

If you’ve joined me in the park this summer, I’d love to keep practising with you as we head into the winter months. I teach every week at Yogalina Wellness Cotswolds ✨🧘 and often run one-off sessions across Oxfordshire.

Wow… just like that, 20 weeks of Park Yoga is over! 🌿✨

Thank you SO much to everyone who joined us over these past few months. Whether you came along every Sunday, joined us once or twice, brought a friend, or simply stopped by to enjoy a little bit of movement and fresh air, it’s been an absolute pleasure having you there 💚

And somehow… we didn’t have to cancel a single session because of the weather! We were treated to glorious sunshine, warm mornings and some seriously beautiful Sundays in the park 🌞

I’ve loved seeing familiar faces return week after week, meeting new people, and watching our little Park Yoga community grow throughout the summer🥹

Thank you for making this summer so special. We hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have! 💚

I’ll be sharing a post shortly with where you can find me on the mat over the coming months if you’d like to continue your practice with me, so keep your eyes peeled for that final post ✨

Things we want you to know before your first yoga class…

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to know any of the poses.
You don’t need to be “good at yoga”, or even have tried it before.

You can take breaks.
You can modify things.
You can skip anything that doesn’t feel right.

You might wobble. You might get confused. You might realise you’ve been holding your breath the whole time…

That’s all completely normal.

Yoga isn’t about getting every pose perfect, it’s about moving, breathing and getting a little more comfortable in your body.

So if you’ve been thinking about trying Park Yoga, this is your sign! We have just 2 weeks left💚

All levels welcome, including complete beginners.
🗓️Sunday, 9.30am

Episode 4 of our Alignment Series… Pyramid Pose 🔺

Did you know your front leg doesn’t have to be completely straight?

Pyramid Pose isn’t about getting your head to your knee. The priority is creating length through the spine and the back of the front leg, without forcing your body deeper than it wants to go.

✨ Keep a soft bend in your front knee if you need to, especially if your hamstrings feel tight
✨ Square your hips towards the front of your mat as much as feels comfortable
✨ Lengthen through your spine before folding forwards
✨ Bring your hands to blocks, the floor or your hips: choose the option that lets you maintain length
✨ Keep your back heel grounded and create stability through both feet
✨ Think about reaching your chest forwards rather than collapsing down towards your leg

A deeper fold doesn’t necessarily mean a better pose. Sometimes, backing off is exactly what your body needs 💚

Remember: alignment isn’t about making your body fit the pose. It’s about adapting the pose to fit your body.

Join us for Park Yoga and explore movement that works with your body, not against it!

🌳 All levels welcome
🕣 9.30am every Sunday until September 13th

With just 4 sessions remaining, come along and join us. Every Sunday at 9.30am, Town Park (behind the Library!)

🌬️ The science of breathing… and why we focus on it so much in yoga.

Did you know that the way you breathe can actually change how you feel?

When we’re stressed, we naturally take shorter, faster breaths. This signals to our nervous system that we’re under pressure, keeping our body in “fight or flight” mode.

But when we slow our breathing do, especially making the exhale a little longer than the inhale, we send a different message: you’re safe.

This activates our parasympathetic nervous system, often called our “rest and digest” mode, helping to:
🌿 Lower stress levels
💚 Reduce heart rate
🧠 Improve focus and mental clarity
😌 Release physical tension
✨ Leave us feeling calmer and more grounded

That’s why, in yoga, we don’t just move, we breathe with intention. Every inhale creates space, every exhale invites us to soften.

So next time life feels a little overwhelming, pause for just a minute. Breathe in slowly for four counts, then breathe out for six. You might be surprised by how much difference sixty seconds can make.

We’ll be practising mindful movement and breath together at Park Yoga this Sunday. Whether you’re completely new to yoga or you’ve been practising for years, you’re always welcome 💚🌳

Episode 3 of our alignment series… Triangle Pose 🔺🌿

Did you know your hand doesn’t have to reach the floor?!

In Triangle Pose, the priority is creating length through the side body, not forcing yourself deeper, just to get your hand lower.

✨ Keep your front knee soft rather than locking it if you need
✨ Reach your top arm towards the sky (look up to those top fingers!)
✨ Lengthen through both sides of your waist, open the chest and feel a twist
✨ Let your bottom hand rest wherever feels right — shin, prop (like a block if you have one), or floor
✨ Think about your torso moving long, rather than collapsing forwards

Remember: alignment isn’t about making your body fit the pose. It’s about adapting the pose to fit your body 💚
