May Newsletter


Dear Yogis and Yoginis,

Inspired by this joyful parenthesis of sunlight, I am sitting down to write and reach out to all of you on this fine May Friday afternoon. Namaste!

This month we’ll explore how to create more space and support from the inside out. One pose which I find stimulates this exploration is Bhujangasana, or Cobra Pose. Often treated as a quick transition, Cobra Pose can easily be underestimated in its challenges and benefits. Yet Bhujangasana provides a perfect opportunity to check in with our body and our breath in each Sun Salutation: are we lengthening throughout our centre? Are we supporting the asana with our breath? Where can we soften? Where can expand? Can we root more clearly in order to extend and create more space within? So many questions, and luckily so many classes to explore them with!

(Thank you to Accolay for the wonderful drawing).

Indeed, I am pleased to announce that three of my weekly classes are now open to all members of Oxford University - Mondays at St. Cross, Tuesdays at Pembroke and Wednesdays at University. Look on my website for more details and get in touch if you would like to attend.

As usual, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions (practice or class related) or if you would like to set up a private individual or small group class. 

Hurray for May,

Beatrice
