Mondays AND Wednesdays? For sure! Come along next week and try it out. It’ll follow the same pattern as the Monday class, with a couple of progressive poses thrown in.

Yes! Free! This is a 17 minute sequence, so nothing too deep or strenuous but enough to keep you ticking over. I take you through some sun salutes into pigeon pose, bridge, and savasana. Listen now, or download for later, then grab some headphones, or blast it on the loudspeakers:
Class changes, price changes
OK so I’ll get the sad news out of the way first: I’m stopping the Tuesday class at SDTA. The last one will be on 15 April. It’s been awesome to teach there over the last year, but I’m feeling pretty spread out and I’ve decided to focus all of the YOGALEN energy on theContinue reading “Class changes, price changes”
It was sunny outside. I did a cartwheel to celebrate.
I’m back. Such wow.
I’ve been training. I’m back. Classes as usual from Monday 24 February. Come get limber.
That’s all folks! Back 24 Feb.
Thank you. The last month’s been awesome. Thanks for coming to my classes – for getting out of bed earlier and for having dinner later – it’s been busier than ever and every one of you makes it that extra bit special. Also, thanks for not really caring that much when I completely mix upContinue reading “That’s all folks! Back 24 Feb.”

This one’s for all the insomniacs out there, the exhausted and the ever-wakeful; for the tossers, the turners, and the burners of both ends, and for anyone else who needs to get more awesome at unconsciousness: this is the YOGALEN guide to getting great sleep. The sequence is about half an hour or so, dependingContinue reading “Yoga for deep sleep”

Getting bendee in Dundee: five and a half things from a day of unlocking the shoulders with Jambo
Shoulders take a big hit in life. Most days it’s a battle to stop hunching over the keyboard, to sit up and try to get my head free of the tortoise shell for a couple of minutes. Yoga’s a help, obviously, but that tortoise is persistent, and the neck and shoulders are the first inContinue reading “Getting bendee in Dundee: five and a half things from a day of unlocking the shoulders with Jambo”
