Today in ‘Feel Good Friday Yoga’ in Rugby, we continued our journey exploring the water element. As we have seen over the past few weeks, the sacral chakra is home of our water element and reflects, our emotions, the ups and downs of life, the circle of life, our passion and being open to joy.

There’s a statement from the Greek philosopher Heraclitus that says, “You cannot step into the same river twice.” Because water is continually flowing in the river, so it only makes sense that you cannot step into the same river twice. The underlying message here is that change is constant.

Ok, so here it is, my top 5 gift ideas for anyone who loves yoga-related bits and bobs:

I absolutely love the drawings by “Cally Jane Studio.” She has a little shop on Etsy with beautiful postcards, tote bags and best of all, a 2021 calendar. Love this.

Today in our live-streamed yoga from Rugby, we looked at the Sacral Chakra symbol. It is an orange lotus with six petals. The six petals represent undesirable emotional qualities that at some point, we might need to overcome and are associated with this sacral chakra: anger, jealousy, cruelty, hatred, pride and too much desire.

How much water have you had so far today?

I often find drinking water a bit boring so I like to pop some slices of lime or cucumber and mint leaves into a jug to infuse. It does taste really good!

When the brain does not get enough water, it can lead to headaches and fatigue. The more water your brain loses, the less energy you have and the more tired you get.

In Feel Good Friday Yoga class, we have been looking at the sacral chakra which is associated with our emotions, creativity, joy, sensuality, the colour orange and the element, water.

Today in Feel Good Friday Yoga flow, we continued our water-inspired yoga sequence.

We looked at the link between the water element and the sacral chakra – an energetic wheel that translates so beautifully into “the home of sweetness and enjoyment of life.”

Treat friends and loved ones to the perfect gift this festive season. Do you know someone who wants to get fit, stretch their body and reduce anxiety?

In these times of COVID-19, Yoga is an ideal way to build mental, emotional and physical resilience and boost the immune system.

In Feel Good Friday Yoga in Rugby today, we started to explore the element, Water. Up to 60% of our bodies are made of water. It is incredibly easy to lose our sense of fluidity and buoyancy in a world that can feel heavy, tense, rigid, weighed down.

In our yoga class in Rugby, we explored the concept of “change.” What Yoga has understood about being human is that every experience leaves some kind of residue in our system; Something remains in us from every experience that we’ve had over the course of our lifetime. This accumulates and develops into patterns.
