Stretch Armstrong Yoga

I’m just a little excited to have been invited to teach some Yoga sessions for the pupils (or Mountaineers as they are known) at a health day at Mount St Mary’s College in Spinkhill. If anyone knows of any local schools that may like me to do something similar please feel free to pass my contact details on 🙂

So many of you have asked for the words of the Blossoming Lotus sequence, so here they are. I can’t wait for you to all join in next time.

The lotus starts its day in bud

As the sun comes up

So the petals open

By midday the lotus opens its face completely to the sunshine

It draws in light and strength through its petals to its stem and roots

A gentle breeze sways the little flower first to one side

Then the other

The breeze can turn into a strong wind

But no matter how far the little flower bends

It always manages to keep control

Many tiny fish swim among the roots      🙂 🙂

All around there are tiny insects

They hover overhead

The insects look down at the beautiful flowers

All kinds of birds sing peacefully

And occasionally the smaller birds land on the lotus to rest

As daylight falls the petals of the lotus fold upwards

Closing tightly to seal in the goodness of the day

And resting peacefully until dawn.

I’m already planning the next blocks of classes. If you have any suggestions, ideas or requests please get in touch. You can either post it on the Stretch Armstrong Yoga Facebook page, for everyone to see or you can inbox me, e-mail me, text or call me. It really depends how brave you are and if you want the others to know it was you! 🙂

 

Don’t forget there are no classes from 19th to 23rd May as I am having a week away from my mat. If, like me, you plan far ahead, my next week off will be 13th to 17th October.

I will be running two Family Yoga sessions over Easter. They will be at Loundsley Green Community Centre on Thursday 17th and 24th April from 10:00 until 11:00. It’s £7.50 for each adult and child plus £2.50 for additional children. I only have four spare mats so please bring your own if you can. Please contact me if you’d like to book places 🙂

All of my evening classes are now fully booked. If you currently come to any of these classes and don’t want your place on the next block please let me know so I can offer your place to the others who wish to enroll.

Block start dates are as follows:
Monday at Newbold Community School – 28th April
Tuesday at Newbold Community School – 12th May
Wednesday at North Wingfield Community Centre – 16th April
Thursday at Loundsley Green Community Centre – 24th April
