Easter Monday :)

Posted on April 28, 2011 by ctyoga
Easter Monday was yet another great sunny day…so what better way to spend it than in the park?
 
…if you’re up for some yoga in the park, let me know….here’s how the day panned out….

Ardho Mukha Svanasana

Padmasana

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
How NOT to do it:

Hmmmm.....???

and here is how it’s done:

That was a little taster…there’s lots more where that came from 😉
Tomorrow i’m off to Boston, MA, for the wkend, then off to Washington DC for a week, back in London in time for the Yoga Flash Mob! Hope to see you all in Trafalgar Square! Enjoy the Wedding!

Yoga Flash Mob in Trafalgar Square | 6.23-6.53pm

Evolve are organizing a yoga flash mob! It’s going to be amazing.
Details are below:
 
When: Tuesday, May 10
 
Where: Trafalgar Square, between the two fountains
 
Why: Flash Mobs are a large group of people who gather “spontaneously” in a public place, perform an unusual act then quickly disperse. The purpose of this Yoga Flash Mob is to create an awareness of yoga in London. By having it at an odd time, it helps create the element of surprise for those not participating.
 
How: Arrive before 6:20pm and hang around the area minding your own business. At 6:23pm (on the dot) a female leader will go through the Sun Salutation series once on her own. Please continue to look inconspicuous during this time. Allow her to do the series once, then feel free to join in at staggered times within the first 2-3 minutes. Then continue to participate for the 30 minutes. The Mob will last a half hour exactly. At the end (when the origional female leader leaves), please disperse and walk your own separate ways. We want to confuse and bemuse the public and leave them in bewilderment as to what just happened.
 
What: Please feel free to bring your own mat but do not lay it down until after 6:23pm. It will seem more spontaneous if you do not use a mat, but for health concerns, we understand if you choose to use one.
 
Attire: Business or everyday clothing. Just be sure you can move in it.
 
Where: Between the two fountains in Trafalgar Square, London.
 
Price: Free
 
 
…and then i found this – which i think is hilarious and really feel the need to share with you guys!
 
 
OK now i’m really going to bed! Nite nite x

Quick note!

Posted on April 24, 2011 by ctyoga
So i’ve been running around all day, and finally came home & all i’ve wanted to do is relax…i am procrastinating which is not good! I NEED to finish this blog & get on w/ designing my flier & then move onto business cards! So much to do, so little time! & another thing – my 6 week class plan! i SO need to finish this.
Anyway, did 1.5hrs of hot yoga and man was i drenched afterwards…I mean soaking wet, my towel, my top, everything…i may as well have gotten in the shower all dressed up!
I’ve tried Bikram yoga once, and now Hot yoga 3 times – does anyone have any tips/hints – clothes wise, mat wise etc etc…i’ll be volunteering here every wkend, so i need all the suggestions i can get!
 
I’m gonna get back to work now, but before i go i’ll leave you with these…a few more pix taken from when i was teaching yoga in the park…now that the weather is amazing, i’m offering one 2 one’s in the park, i think i’ll also try to organize a class in regents park or hyde park (gotta check legalities first tho)…watch this space! If you’re interested, and want to join, get in touch!

Karnapidasana

Happy Easter!

Posted on April 24, 2011 by ctyoga

Happy Easter everyone!

Not sure what everyone else is up to this bank holiday wkend, but mine has been full of yoga…yes, yoga.
With such a beautiful summer weather i couldn’t help but teach my friend Marta in the park, and oh my god was it better! Sun salutations to an actual sun makes them that much sweeter, and the breeze…ah words just can’t describe it! So i took a few snaps!
 
I gotta go now, i’ve started volunteering at a Yoga Studio on wkends – as a Yoga Teacher its vital to keep up with what is going on in the world of Yoga and what other teachers are up to, its also a great way of networking and meeting like-minded people….not to mention being exposed to different styles of yoga and ways to teach yoga can only make one a better teacher…after all, the learning never stops!
