Delighted to announce a new class for 2020 - yoga for children between 2 and 4 years old! It is never too early to start a yoga practice and benefits include:⠀

The yoga class format is very simple and every week we will keep to the same structure, adding new elements as the children grow in confidence. The class will include fun breathing exercises, singing and warm up, creative yoga poses, partner poses, games and relaxation with props, visual meditation and music. The focus is on FUN and there will be sensory elements to keep it interesting including bubbles, music and group hugs! The teacher, Sara, will also introduce some simple Makaton signs to the children.⠀

Facebook asks me every day - "What's on your mind, Sara?". I tell you what's on my mind every day - too much! Juggling two work diaries plus the family diary, I sometimes feel my brain might implode keeping track of it all. I am bit late to the party on the latest buzz phrase "Mental Load". ⠀
⠀
According to one article I found:⠀
⠀
"This continuous cycle of thinking, planning and organising domestic life is known as the ‘mental load’, or emotional labour. It’s seen as a feminist issue, because it tends to disproportionately fall on women in relationships with men, and those with families. Women are taught from a young age to keep everything in the home under control, while men are often raised to believe domesticity simply isn’t their thing, regularly faking incompetence to get out of it."⠀
⠀
You can read the rest of the article here https://buff.ly/2pudQ4D. I am sure a lot of people will roll their eyes at Another Feminist Issue but I am seeing the impact that Mental Load has on me, my students and my massage clients. Women are at breaking point like never before. Taking time out for self-care has never been so important. Speaking out against domestic inequalities and passing on jobs to the rest of the family. Renegotiating relationships. Accepting that sometimes we will have to let go of the way we do things and let other people do their best too.⠀
⠀
This week's class theme is using Yoga to Manage the Mental Load. Practicing poses that refresh the brain and detoxify the body - in particular inversions and twists. ⠀
⠀
See you on the mat! <3⠀

Aeroplane Pose, an old favourite. Lift the collarbone forward and reach back with the raised foot and leg. Opens heart and chest and strengthens legs and glutes. ⠀
⠀
See you on the mat tonight at West Norwood Picturehouse between 8 and 9pm.⠀

Love Sara's classes. Friendly and non-judgmental. I've been going for over 2.5 years and feel much better for it!

I have been going to Sara’s yoga classes for nearly two years - she is an excellent yoga teacher. No two classes are the same (different theme each week), I get a good workout, a good relaxation time at the end, I never get bored (she is also funny and doesn’t take herself too seriously 😊) Classes are affordable (just bought 10 class pass for £75), you will always feel welcome no matter how experienced you are, the rooms are spacious and airy (you can usually see trees and hear birds singing outside) - this is my favourite #metime moment of the week!read more

Sara is an excellent yoga teacher and her desire to share the benefits of yoga with her students is obvious. Sara is warm, welcoming and caring and she brings these qualities to her teaching, meaning you feel cared for and looking after during her classes (which is especially nice for us mums who usually look after everyone else!). I particularly like how she uses and shares her own personal experiences as a way of bringing additional meaning to her classes and your practice, helping you to dive that bit deeper and come away feeling calm, renewed and energised. I couldn't recommend her classes enough, they really are for everybody no matter what your level and I can't wait for my next session.read more

I love Sara’s classes they are the perfect mix of strength and relaxation. Sara is one of the nicest ladies you could ever meet, she exudes calm and serenity and constantly reminds you that this is your practise and to go at your own pace - there really is no place for ego’s in Sara’s classes. If I hadn’t moved to Norfolk I would still be going to her classes.read more

I love Sara's classes. They are always just what I need. Whether it's with a focus on core, deep relaxation or powerful dynamic flow, Sara tailors each class to her students needs & I never fail to leave feeling both relaxed & energised. I highly recommend Sara as a yoga teacher. She is always fun, gently challenging & enthusiastic. 5 Stars!!!!read more
