11th June - free activities in the park for all of you!!!

Good morning my lovely yoga, pilates and tai chi friends!

Today is a very busy day for us!

If you are a member in Bannatyne's gym in Luton, I might see you for bootcamp @9am (soon!!!) followed by pilates @10am and yoga @11am.

If you are not a member and you want to do some classes with me today - FOR FREE!! - come to Discovery Centre in Stockwood Park - if you want to join me for luch, I'll be there eating around 12.30pm, we will start our Tai Chi Get Together just after we all finish our nice meals. We will finish Tai Chi around 3.30 and we will start pilates @4pm - we will finish pilates few minutes sooner and instead of cooling down and meditation we will make our way out from Discovery Centre, as they will be cloing at that point, to meet all the ones who will join us for yoga - if you want to do yoga with me, we are meeting @5pm in front of the Discovery Centre entrance and find our little place for our practice :)

Well, it sounds amazing, plus the sun is out there and the weather, once again, should be there for us!

I will see you soon :)

Namaste!

Timetable changes from Jan 2017

Good afternoon my lovely yoga friends :) How are you doing today? I am teaching many classes today (6)... and there are some sad news and a great news for next year...

Sadly, I am giving up 2 classes - one in TruGym (as you know, I will miss you ladies and I would love to continue to teach there, but I don't like and don't agree how management is treating us instructors!) and the second class is my favourite Houghton Regis class, where we had so much fun and we have great memories from classes (glass of water challenge, frozen to death classes that doesn't include Tash :P) - so I am going to see you ladies in these 2 classes today and next week :) After, Ruby will take over the Pure Gym class and probably Natalie in Houghton Regis (it is not confirmed, yet)

And there are some good news, too!

I will have at least 2 new classes in my timetable in 2017 so I will teach in 2 more places :) One is in L&D hospital - there I will teach yoga for staff and the second class confirmed today is a 50+ yoga class on Fridays @12.30 (starting date needs to be confirmed) in Harpenden Sports Center. I can't wait to start these classes and meet new people!!! :)

I am going home (Slovakia) for Christmas (21st Dec - 4th Jan) so I will have a little break from teaching, however, I will still have yoga with my friends at home :)

So I am wishing you all a nice day and weekend!!! :)

What we did in the class - Firefly Pose - Tittibhasana

Well, well, well, sometimes (all the time :P) we have real challenges in the classes and after today's session in the park we tried Firefly Pose, too... here is a video and instructions how to do it... plus few pics :) 

click to watch the video

1. Start in a standing forward fold with knees slightly bent and feet slightly wider than hip width. Grab your right calf with your right hand and press deeply into the leg to help work your shoulder behind the calf. Repeat the same action with your left leg and shoulder. Then toe-heel your feet closer together, but no closer than hip width.

2. Once both shoulders are neatly behind your legs, wrap your forearms around the sides of your shins and place your palms on top of your feet, fingers pointing forward. Hug your upper thighs around your torso and keep your head heavy.

3. With active thighs, keep hugging in toward the midline. Bend your knees deeper. Place your palms on the ground behind your feet and drop your buttocks until your arms create a throne to sit on. Extend your gaze forward. Lift the feet. Keep squeezing the sides of your body with your thighs, and firm your forearms.

4. Drop your seat even farther toward your wrists as you lift your lower belly and hug your thighs around your arms. Once your hips are set, work toward straightening your legs. Keep your sternum lifted, collarbones wide, and gaze forward. Shift your shoulder heads back and lift the gaze.

Good afternoon my lovely yoga people :)

There will be few changes in my timetable from January, so I want to keep you posted :)

• There is a possibility that I will teach another Pilates class in Venue360 on Monday 6pm - this needs to be confirmed - I got a confirmation about this class - I will teach Pilates on Mondays at 6.45pm. It will be a 50 min class. Can`t wait to start!

• I won`t be teaching LBT in Venue360 on Tuesdays anymore.

• The yoga class in David Lloyd Luton on Thursday 7pm will be removed from the timetable Body Balance will be the only holistic class that evening and will start at 7.30pm. (This means we can move the yoga in Pure Gym sooner - I will talk to you next week) - this class was reinstalled and put back into the Timetable thanks to all of you who spoke to management and filled out comment cards - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FIGHTING FOR ME!!!! 

• Saturday 5pm Yoga in Bannatynes is cancelled :(

DLC NEWS from Oct 2015

Good evening my lovely yoga people in Dunstable!!!

You all know what is happening, but it is not looking too bad at the moment... 

The result is that the class will stay at 8pm, only there will be someone else taking the class - I hope it will be fine with you.

Unfortunately I was told they cannot move the classes around as we tried to achieve, but at least you'll still have yoga... - but I will miss you SO MUCH!!!!!! 

This was my first EVER class I taught. I remember how I was shaking - 25 people in the class, my ribs broken... It was nearly 3 years ago!!! :)  Many of you stayed with me through these years, others left, many new people came a still go to my other classes, too. 

I can teach 2 more Mondays - 21st and 28th Sept 2015 - I  hope I will see as many of you in these 2 classes as possible!!! :D 

Well, I am nearly crying now, so I'll finish this post, have a great evening/night, c u on Sunday or Monday! 

Namaste
