Are you finding you have little time in the day for yourself?

​

Are you finding that you are stressed with lots of different pressures e.g. your family, your friends, your job, the climate?

​

Are you trying to get some movement into your life yet you constantly find this a challenge?

 

One to One sessions of Subtle Inspired Yoga may help you.  You could also consider getting a small group of friends or colleagues together, the sessions are available to up to 2 people.  This enables you to work together and also share the cost.

 

The yoga will be slow and mindful, very accessible if you haven’t tried it before.  It is especially helpful with long term conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome.  The movements are ‘breath infused’ and performed slowly.  The yoga offers you to take some time to relax your nervous system.  This means that you sleep better and feel recharged.

​

It takes time and courage to try a new mode of movement.  It takes time and courage to retry yoga if you have practiced it in the past.  I offer practices that recognise post viral conditions, Long Covid, chronic fatigue, or ME.  Sometimes this means practicing in bed or in a chair.

 

Yoga has moved on from the exercise based modality that it once was.  Now, yoga is much more a combination of poses (asanas), meditation, breathwork and studying the ethics.  Combined, these are potent tools for self-care and healing.  There is a great deal of research to support these statements.  (Please see my resources page)

​

We explore the stressors that you may be encountering in your life and how they impact your body, your immune system.  We explore how breathing can aid your healing.  There are many ways that the modality of yoga can help without using dynamic movement. 

 

Also, if you are trying to move more and tiredness sneaks up on you the following day these classes may help.  This is a new term which is particularly being used with Long Covid and also, ME or fatigue.  It is PEM or Post Exertional Malaise.  This happens when you have been working at a computer, or you have done some exercise.  Then you crash, you lose energy.  It may take 2 or 3 days.  The mitochondria in your cells have been found to shut down.  There has been too much energy used up and the body needs to rest and recover.

 

It is important to understand what your baseline is and not to push yourself too much.  Subtle Yoga can help you have a felt sense of your body.  It helps you listen to the cues.  It helps you to not push through, as we so often do.  These are recent studies from the book by Fiona Agombar, a Rest Activist and her book Breathe, Rest, Recover:  Yoga Therapy for Long Covid & Fatigue. ​
