MCY's Got Talent - Fluidity of Movement with Diana Krasniqi
I’m sure many of you will really identify with the ups and downs of practise Diana talks about here, especially how injury can stop you practising and leave you feeling disconnected from your body. The very opposite of what we’re trying to do in yoga!
Diana graduated from our CYS Glasgow Yoga Teacher Training programme last August in the midst of Covid. I’m so proud that she’s had the courage to find her way back to her practice, explore what works for her own body and share it with us all here.

The value of a seasonal approach to yoga practice
[Guest post by Ema Sibikina]
Life is organised by numbers. 9-5, 24/7, £p/a, km/h, bpm, calories, alarm clocks, step counters and heart rate monitors.. We track everything with numbers and apps - productivity, fitness, sleep, menstrual cycles, even our meditation practice.

Transitioning forward, self care & boundaries - Katie Boyle, 'The Chai Sessions'
In this session I'm chatting with Katie who teaches our Forrest-inspired yoga class on a Saturday morning here at the studio.
Katie and I chat about how we transition forward using the tools of yoga and self care to support us. Practice, whether 5 minutes or 55 minutes, can help us gather our energy and our thoughts. Help us ground ourselves and find steadiness amongst the change.

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.
