Fifty years of yoga practice

In 1972 I experienced my very first yoga class. I went with my mother and an ex-boyfriend. It was the Ex’s idea to go – although he subsequently married a Born-again Christian who thought yoga was the work of the devil. We were aware of yoga during the 60s and so didn̵

Adaptability – the highway to health and happiness?

In Harrogate – my home town, we’ve had plenty to adapt to in the past few days – we’ve been hosting the UCI World Championships! My excitement began to grow as I witnessed the Fan Park and many other vital pieces of infrastructure being built on West Park Stray. Earl

Head to Tail – sequential movement of the spine in asana

  I have many memories from my first yoga teacher training course with Donna Farhi, even though it was way back in 2000. One memory is especially vivid, it was a spinal yield and push inquiry – there were three of us, me in child with my head supported on a block, one perso

Is commitment always a good thing?

Today was a departure from my usual routine, instead of beginning the day with an hour or so of yoga practice, I went to a B2B breakfast meeting at Hotel du Vin, Harrogate. The participants were a welcoming group of local business people. We were all required to say a few words about

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

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………….”
