We enjoyed a great morning of yoga at the lovely Yoga Akasha Yoga Studio in East Grinstead, West Sussex. I hope to return there next year for more of the same! When we arrived the early morning class were just leaving and everyone looked very calm and relaxed – so we began the morning with a lovely atmosphere left to us by the previous class.
My mother accompanied us and as always, inspired all the younger students to carry on with their yoga – although in her late 70’s she is still fit and active and puts it down to her years of yoga practice, swimming and walking.
The morning began with a few moments of quiet reflection, shoulder and chest opening poses followed by standing postures supported at the wall to give focus on the back body, postural alignment and opening across the pelvis. The two pregnant ladies appreciated the wall support too especially when it came to the balancing posture, Ardha Chandrasana! The last third of the morning consisted of extended supine and recuperative postures with deep awareness of the connection of the body and breath to still the mind and deeply relax the body.
Yoga Akasha is a wonderful city centre yoga space and I look forward to returning there next year for more workshops.
