Harrogate Yoga is 20 years old

Beginnings My decision to move to Harrogate was made back in 1999. I thought I’d find aspiring yogis in the town and I wanted to minimise travel by car. So I searched for a property with some space for yoga classes that was near the centre of town and the train station. When I f

How to give the best hugs

Did you know that there’s an art to hugging? Some people have the ‘hugging art’ naturally. Everyone can learn skills to hug better. My first tip is that aiming to give a hug is a much more successful approach than aiming to receive one. ‘Success’ will ari

Moving Body – Quiet Mind

“Lie down on your mat and begin to check in with your breathing…” is a common instruction at the start of a yoga class but does this work for everyone? Many years ago I had a private student who would invariably arrive for class in a hyperactive, agitated state. I soon learned t

Is sugar the food of love?

In amongst real news at the start of 2014, there’ve been headlines such as ‘The Sugar Trap!’ ‘No more sugar’, ‘Are you addicted to sugar?’ I’m bemused, surely there’s nothing new about the news that too much sugar is bad for us? Bu

Eating Mindfully

It’s the ‘New Year’s Resolution’ time of year when many people resolve to make changes in their lives. Personally, I think it’s a good idea to have an ongoing overview of changes that need to be made throughout the year. But I have one right now that is n

Beginning Yoga – why newbies need specialist classes

Many years ago, when I began teaching yoga, my classes included a mixture of people new to yoga, along with more experienced yogis. I found it a difficult balancing act to simultaneously ensure that beginners were safe, and experienced yogis were challenged enough to remain interested

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

Community

For a shy, retiring sort like me, this has been quite a week. It began with last Sunday’s British Wheel of Yoga Northern Region AGM in Durham and ended yesterday with the North Yorkshire BWY Federation at Poppleton, York. I was the teacher at both these events. Much has happened

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

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………….”
