Injuries, the practice, teaching from experience - Ana Costa, 'The Chai Sessions'
These past few months every time Ana and I get together we end up talking about injuries! In particular, we've been comparing notes on our own shoulder injuries and chatting about how injury has not only changed our practice but also the impact it's had on how we teach yoga postures.

Finding our way back - Reopening, reconnecting & getting together in person
To be really honest with you, like many people I’m feeling a bit worn down by the effort of navigating the ongoing uncertainty brought about by Covid and feeling so unprepared for each new challenge thrown up by trying to keep a small business going during the challenges of the past year.
Don’t get me wrong, what we’ve managed to accomplish since the world quite literally turned upside down in a matter of days last March is nothing short of AMAZING.
Looking Towards Reopening
Once again we’re considering how we re-emerge from this past year to gather again in class. But we’re taking things slow…
The Ups & Downs of Yoga Practice - Ema Čulík, ‘The Chai Sessions’
In this session I'm chatting with Ema, who teaches our Monday evening Vinyasa Yoga class and seasonal Yin-Vin specials here at the studio. We sat down with a cuppa in hand to chat about the ebb and flow of practice and yoga, the ups and downs of it all.
"Can we be bendy enough to bend to the situation?"
