Learnt a BIG lesson in class this morning 💚
Had planned and practiced a class with a theme of aparigraha - letting go of Winter and welcoming in spring …. All was going to plan, we’d warmed and moved our bodies, found gratitude for all winter brought us, shared hope for what spring would bring ….. settled down with some nourishing music into Savasana …. And the blue tooth speaker had a mind of its own and started playing the podcast I had been listening to!!

Totally destroying the moment!

But, rather than spiralling, we all had a giggle, took a deep breath and LET IT GO 💚

The postman just delivered me something special! 💚 can not wait to snuggle up and breathe this in! Thank you Tracee Stanley and thank you Dr Lauren Tober | Clinical Psychologist, Yoga Teacher + Author for your introduction to this special book through your podcast chat 💚

Want to feel ‘yoga smug’ all day?
That feeling where you know you started the day making sure you were your best self for the rest of the day?

When the little things didn’t bother you like they did yesterday ….
When you smile at strangers and notice the flowers…

One hour - just for you - tomorrow morning at RISE 5.45am Everyday Mums Ipswich city

See you there 💚💚💚

Happy International Dog Day to my boys, and all the dogs everywhere - who live their lives as only the best of Yogis do. They have been my most favourite mat companions.
We could all learn a little about ahimsa from dogs 💚💚

For months now, I’ve been getting up in the dark for our 5:45am RISE classes in Ipswich City.

There have been mornings when it has been very, very cold, very, very dark and very, very early!

Mornings when I’ve wondered whether people would actually get out of bed and come and practice with me.

Honestly, there have been weeks when the numbers have been hard.

I know how difficult it can be to leave a warm bed at 5am. I know life is busy. I know winter makes it even harder.

But here’s the thing…

I love these mornings 💚

I love the quietness of practicing as the world is still waking up.
I love watching the first light arrive through the windows (so beautiful)
I love the little community that has formed around these early mornings.
And I love that we begin the day by choosing to pause, breathe, move and come back to ourselves.

Now, as we begin to feel the first little signs of spring, I’m feeling hopeful.

If you’ve been thinking about coming to RISE… this is your invitation.

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be experienced.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.

Come once. Come regularly. Bring a friend. Tell someone about the class. Share this post and let others know if that feels right for you.

Every person who rolls out their mat helps make these beautiful early mornings sustainable.

And perhaps this spring can be about more than just the season changing -
Perhaps it can be about rising together (see what I did there 😏)

I’d love to see you on the mat. 🤍

RISE • 5:45am • Ipswich City

A gentle Hatha-inspired practice, movement, breath, meditation and a little yoga philosophy to start your day.

💚

There is something special that forms when a group of strangers come together regularly to practice Yoga asana together.

A quiet togetherness begins.

It shows up differently for different people- sometimes a chat and a giggle before class, sometimes a quiet hug goodbye, sometimes just the comfort of someone practicing alongside you.

I could not be more grateful for the people who turn up to class and help create this glorious little community we have.

thank you from me, and thank you from the people you roll out a mat next to - however you choose to be a part of our community- I thank you 💚💚💚

Hello beautiful friends,

As winter begins to loosen its grip and we start to feel those first whispers of spring, I am posting this is not only to invite you into class tomorrow, but also, to thank you for your support through winter - turning up in the cold and the dark, when it would have been so easy to roll over and snuggle under the blankets.

You will never know how much your attendance has meant to me 💚

The next few practices will be inspired by the beautiful transition from winter into spring — moving from stillness into movement, from inward reflection into expansion, and gently awakening the energy within

There will be plenty of warming movement, flowing sequences and heart-opening postures, balanced with moments to pause, breathe and reflect.

Perhaps the question we can bring to our practice together is:
“What is already within me, waiting to emerge?”

As always, Come as you are, breathe deeply, move mindfully and let’s welcome this new season together…..

And thank you 💚

Can’t wait to see you
Big love
Andy
