Harrogate Yoga’s new website!

Back in 1999 I moved to Harrogate from a village near Wetherby. I was pleasantly surprised to find that town living was much friendlier than anything I’d experienced during eighteen years of living in a village. In the terrace I moved to, my immediate neighbours had a technology

A few days in Vietnam

Crossing the road in Hanoi “Walk slowly and purposefully into the path of the oncoming traffic”, was the gist of the advice in the info pack provided by our hotel in Hanoi, for getting across the roads. I’ve never been especially confident about my road crossing abilities – years of b

Not walking on water yet

Super-normal accomplishment is known in yogic texts as a siddhi – becoming very light or walking on water for example.  Sometimes there seems to be an expectation of yoga teachers to have ‘super powers’ – to be invincible and beyond life’s vicissitudes – so that no pain, injury, exhau

‘One Day’ there was a six year old bride in Paignton

It was dark and raining heavily – the gloom of the seafront mitigated somewhat by the glow from strings of coloured lights. We passed a deserted merry-go-round, Big Dipper and candy floss stall, followed by hotel after hotel with curtains open displaying brightly lit function ro

Playfulness

I learned long ago that muddle and uncertainty can be the melting pot for creativity. The tricky bit is tolerating the discomfort and staying with the process until things unfold. Curiosity and playfulness can help with this. My daughter recently went on a clowning workshop; the parti

Spirals

As an artist I’ve always loved to draw curved shapes – the curves of the human form and curves from nature. Straight lines have never had much appeal. I say I can’t draw a straight line but I think the truth is that I’m just not very interested in them. Give me a human body, flowers a

How to Balance Better

..........Having thoroughly polished the studio floor at the Academy, from all the sliding around on blankets, we then paid attention to our feet. We located the Talus bone and noted what a lot of bones there are in the foot - 26. We looked at a brilliant picture

Fluidity in Movement – why we need it and how to find it

  In some of last week’s classes we re-visited the theme of fluidity and how to bring a more fluid quality  into our movement. Why do we need it, some might ask? There are lots of good reasons. Yoga practitioners can have a tendency to be quite static in their approach to asana a

Cellular Breathing

CELLULAR BREATHING In some of the classes this week we began with a cellular breathing visualisation. Everyone began lying prone on their mats (being face down supports the Parasympathetic Nervous System). I began talking them through the visualisation – first with awareness of

Some thoughts on Happiness

‘Wanting to be happy is what makes you unhappy’ Tim Lott said in the Body and Soul section of The Times recently. Responding to David Cameron’s ‘Happiness initiative’, Lott argued that the pursuit of happiness would only lead to unhappiness. Similarly meditation practitioners who stri

About Amanda

“I began practising yoga in 1972 and I loved the effect it had on me – of gradually becoming stronger in mind and body, more resilient to life’s ups and downs, more connected to my feelings, more joyful and more creative. Both my yoga journey and my creativity gained momentum in the early nineties, it was at this time that I was privileged to begin learning Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga………….”
