Yoga classes in Exeter, book here
My yoga classes run in themes for five weeks. This allows for people to put in place adaptions to suit their body and learn the different options of each yoga flow that are right for them. After the five weeks you will find each yoga flow published on my blog, with a free interactive copy. You will find the yoga class for this theme below.
Embracing the Process: Exploring Forward Folds with Curiosity and Patience
Sometimes in yoga, it’s the seemingly simple poses that hold the deepest lessons.
At first glance, postures like seated forward folds—Paschimottanasana and Upavistha Konasana—might appear straightforward. They don’t involve balancing on one leg, twisting into a complex shape, or flowing through dynamic transitions. But as many of us have discovered in our recent classes, these poses can be surprisingly revealing.
Without the distraction of complexity, these shapes leave us with nowhere to hide. They highlight areas of tension we didn’t know we were holding. They expose the imbalances in our bodies and show us where we need more support, more softness, or perhaps more awareness.
This past term, we explored these postures in depth, breaking them down, learning how our bodies naturally move into them, and observing the subtle mechanics at play. From the tilt of the pelvis to the lengthening of the spine, we paid close attention to how our unique bodies respond in each moment.
Our focus wasn’t on achieving a final “perfect” shape. Instead, we shifted our attention toward the process:
• How do I approach this pose today?
• What is my body telling me in this moment?
• Where can I soften, strengthen, or simply be curious?
This approach to yoga isn’t about pushing or forcing, it’s about listening. When we allow ourselves to be patient and open, these postures become opportunities for deep connection, both physically and mentally.
Thank you to everyone who joined these classes with such openness and dedication. It’s been a joy to share this journey with you.
