🧡 One of the most popular sessions of the week is my Mindful Movement Yoga class with its focus on agile ageing…
✅ The mindset of this class is to practice and preserve your ability to adapt at any age.
It’s true that over time the ageing process creates changes that impact our capacity… but
🔥 When you build a practice and train consistently it is possible to feel stronger and fitter in yourself and even out-perform a younger version of yourself.
💪🏼 ‘Training’ includes offering yourself a variety of movement opportunities in your daily life, and yoga can be part of that.
➡️ As we age, the body is continually renewing itself, responding to load, stress, recovery and rest.
✅ Mindful Movement - Yoga for Agile Ageing is a class that invites you to
🪷move in multiple directions
🪷 keep the brain responsive
🪷 nourish your joints
🪷 keep movement confidence alive
You will
✅ lay down patterning in the body
✅ work consciously
✅ train resilience
And as always, you will learn to
✅ integrate the breath effectively
✅ nourish bhavana / feeling state
➡️ The current block has a focus on 4 key postures, that when integrated in a practice, nourish the spine.

🤗 What a wonderful day at Durham Miners’ Gala 2026…
It’s not every year that I get to be at this event, but when I do it always manages to raise a lump to my throat.
This year was no exception, and for the first time ever I made it to the memorial service in the Cathedral.
The new banner for Langley Park received a dedication (sorry no photo!!!) 🙈
🧡 The main address came from The Right Honorable The Lord Henry, KC, the barrister acting on behalf of coal miners for several decades, now entering retirement… best speech of the day
🧡 The sermon, delivered by Right Reverend Philip North drew laughter… he spoke about dukkah and sukkah (okay maybe he didn’t use those words, but the concepts are the same) and shared a humorous story of his ‘fight’ response kicking in on the tube in central London…
(Come to my workshop next Sunday to activate the calm response!)
🧡 The underlying bhavana / feeling state of the speeches…
🪷 health, wisdom and compassion
🪷 abundant hope and opportunity
🪷 peace and justice
🪷 living in harmony
“we remember with thanksgiving those that have gone before us; all those who offered themselves in the service of their fellow beings…”
The miners’ lamp was lit, scars of pain and loss recalled… and then with a forward look of healing and hope…
🧡 May we never forget our ancestors and all that they did for our benefit and the benefit of others.
