What a summer it's been in Greenwich Park. I've enjoyed flowing with you all and I can't believe we only have three sessions left of the 2026 season!

We'd love to hear your feedback to help us continue to improve Park Yoga each year. You can complete our 2026 participant survey now and let us know!

Strong and rooted in our Vrikshasana (Tree Pose).

This pose is a foundational balancing pose to help you find your stability. Here are some top tips for your tree pose:

1. Find your stability before you try to balance. Push into all three corners of the foot and imagine roots growing into the ground beneath you.

2. The sole of the foot can rest on the ankle, the inside of the lower leg, or the inner thigh. If you struggle to find your balance, try a different part of the leg.

3. Open the hip. This is an open hip balancing posture so open the knee outwards to work into the hips.

4. Draw the navel into the spine to activate your core and help you stay sturdy.

5. There are different options for the arms. You may want to hold onto a wall for stability to start with, you can bring your hands to prayer at heart centre, or you can test your balance by raising your arms high.

To really test your balance, you could try closing your eyes (it's harder than it sounds).

One of my favourite poses to do beneath the trees in Greenwich Park.

Our theme for Sunday's flow was all about surrendering into the present moment.

It can be easy to get caught up in the pace and the stress of modern life. To bring myself back to the present moment, I take three deep breaths as I think about my feet rooting into the ground beneath me.

Share your tips in the comments for bringing yourself back to the present moment.

Hope to see you there!

It's been another hot week. Even though it's supposed to be cooler tomorrow, bring plenty of water with you and take it easy. We'll also be slowing things down to really focus on our alignment.

Top tips for Natarajasana (Dancer Poser)

One of my personal favourites that has become a regular in our Sunday classes. A balancing pose that requires patience and focus, Dancer helps to open the chest, strengthen the legs, and stretch the shoulders.

Here are some tips for your Dancer:

1. Like with any balancing pose, find your stability in your standing foot first. Push into all three corners of the foot, this will help you balance.

2. Start to lift your foot off the ground. You can either bend at the knee to bring your heel back towards your glutes, or bring the knee up towards your chest. Pause here to steady yourself.

3. Reach round to take hold of your foot or ankle using the hand from the same side. You should start to feel a nice stretch in your quad. Lift the opposite arm to the sky.

4. Start to kick your foot back, trying to avoid splaying out your knees too much. The core of the body should remain in perfect symmetry. Push the top of the foot into the hand to help get some lift.

5. Keep the chest open and shining forward.

Variations: You can use a chair or a wall to help you find your balance, or use a yoga strap to draw the back leg towards you.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today for some hip openers and backbends. We even managed to get the sun shining with us.

Answering your frequently asked questions!

What if I need to take a rest during the class?

You are more than welcome to take a resting posture at any time during the practice (even for the entire class).

I encourage everyone to listen to their body so if you need to take a child's pose, a seated position, or want to take an earlier savasana at any time, then do.

Top Tips for Virabhadrasana III (Warrior 3)

A fun balancing pose with lots of variations to try. Here are some top tips for your Warrior 3 alignment.

1. Stabilise through the standing foot, pushing into all 3 corners and rooting into the ground. Start to shift your weight into the standing foot.

2. Lift the back foot off the ground any amount. The back toes should point towards the ground the square off the hip.

3. If you can, lift the back leg higher and the body will naturally start to move forward, eventually creating a T shape with the body.

4. There are many variations for the arms. To help with your balance, you can have them in prayer at heart centre. To test your balance further, you can have them alongside the body, or alongside the ears.

5. Pick a spot to focus on and remember to breathe in your balance posture. Move with the wobbles, they're the best bit!

And always remember: if you wobble and fall out, you can always come back.
