Claire Ferry Yoga

Well, it's official now. I've a charity place to run the London marathon in 2027 for ! So as well as taking a break from yoga teaching this next fortnight I'll be starting to plan more training (including LOTS of yoga) and then my fundraising.

You can expect to hear about how yoga is helping my running from now on!! Off to go and re-read the Iyengar Yoga for Sports book...

I already know yoga helps me with running - posture, flexible and strong feet & legs, breathing and mindset. Now I need to keep at it!

The whole principle of yoga is establishing ourselves in peace, resting in our fundamental nature of connection with each other and the universe.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of our own lives contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
