Yoga can often feel like a mix of separate parts— asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation. But what if they could seamlessly blend into a single mindful experience? That’s exactly what Perry Lewis’s one-day hybrid course with the British Wheel of Yoga, Getting Your Mind in the Right Place, explored. I attended virtually.

Over the past five weeks in our yoga classes here in Rugby, we’ve been diving into the concept of the koshas. Each week, we’ve explored one of these layers, starting from the physical body and gradually working our way through the more subtle layers of energy, mind, wisdom, and bliss.

My logo for Gemma Murphy Yoga
I’m excited to share my new logo. A big thank you to those who helped me come up with this design!
I wanted a logo that reflects the journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and inner peace that we all experience through yoga. The central figure in a meditative pose represents our individual paths toward personal growth, reminding us of the strength we cultivate through our practice.
Yesterday, I attended a “Yoga for Athletes” training course with Anthea Sweet as part of my professional development, and it provided some fantastic insights into how yoga can benefit athletes.
Working with athletes is an interesting blend of art and science. The art lies in understanding their mindset, motivations, and how they approach their sport, while the science involves recognising their movement patterns, the specific demands of their sport, and the environments they compete in.
Yoga with Mulberry Homes in Houlton, Rugby
With the rain pouring outside, there was no better way to spend a Sunday morning than with relaxing yoga sessions in the beautiful Mulberry Homes Showhome in Houlton, Rugby. The stunning Showhome provided a tranquil setting for unwinding, finding flexibility and inner peace.
After our together, we gathered together to enjoy delicious, freshly-made smoothies and pastry treats. I really enjoyed getting to know some more of the local residents in Houlton. A big thank you to Mulberry Homes for hosting such a memorable event!
