Gill will be teaching her first class in the studio tomorrow! ✨️

Yoga class starting at Studio Harmony on Monday 24 August at 6.30 to 7.45pm. Looking forward to it.

These items have been in the Studio for some time. If they belong to you, please take them home otherwise I'll have to re-gift them 🙏🏾

Please welcome Gillian Turner to the Studio Harmony family 🤗
Gill will be teaching on Mondays from 6.30 to 7.45pm. Contact her personally to book 📌📅

Here are a few words from Gill:

"Yoga is part of my life and over the past 10 years I have enjoyed sharing my practice through teaching on a weekly basis. I continue my own studies online from the home of Iyengar yoga Institute in India.
I am a level 1 Iyengar Yoga teacher and currently being mentored at level two by Senior Teacher Katie Rutherford.
During Monday’s class I am hoping to help students understand themself through action in their yoga practice, giving students weekly sequences for a good stretch, improve flexibility and balance, connecting to their breath and help understand their buddhi (intellect)."

As a studio owner the only thing better than coming in early for practice is that satisfying feeling one gets after tidying the equipment 😇

✔️ Mats firmly rolled
✔️ Blankets smoothed
✔️ Bolsters all with handle facing out
✔️ Belts properly fastened
✔️ Foams and Bricks in place 🙌🏾

All ready for the next class 🧘‍♂️🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏿

Studio Harmony welcomes Aubrey Maasdorp​ ✨
At the request of Mandala Yoga Bodies to teach a General Level workshop 🙏

Aubrey, a certified Level 3 Iyengar Yoga teacher, who teaches with intelligence, humour and compassion, has been teaching for over 20 years. He regularly attends both online and in-person classes with Uday Bhosale and Debbie Bartholomew at Yoga Metta in Leeds, and has also studied at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India, where he has trained with the Iyengar family and other esteemed Indian teachers.

When - Saturday, 29th August 2026 – 2.30 to 4.30pm 📅
How much - £25 (£20 concession) 💵
Book at - www.mandalayogabodes.com

Limited places are available, so book early to save disappointment!

The wonderful Sarah Hunter will be covering Margaret's class on Tuesday morning. Why not come along and enjoy her teaching! 🤸‍♀️🕉️

Everything has to come to an end. But there is no sadness when that thing ends on a high, with the making of new friends; increased understanding... and Mihir!!! 😁

Sushama's son Mihir is a welcome bonus, with his physiotherapy and yoga experience (he was attending classes in RIMYI from the age of 6) and willingness to demonstrate "anything" 🙃

The plan was to work on backward extensions, but with a General level Class, different abilities and various injuries and problems, it quickly became a masterclass in dealing with common conditions. Because as every yoga teacher or experienced practitioner knows, everything can be made better by doing yoga! ✨️

So you come no matter what!

We wish Sushama Chitale well on the next leg of her tour in Edinburgh at Edinburgh Iyengar Yoga Centre 🙏🏾

Day 2 of our weekend learning experience with Sushama Chitale and we were asked not to take instructions at face value 🤔

As Sushama's teacher, Sunita Parthasarthy said during the IYUK Convention in 2025, we should "find out" how different actions make space in the abdomen or diagram and how others can elongate or still the breath 🙌🏾

We also learned how we should adapt asanas for ourselves and our students to make allowances for injuries or tightness, so that we don't avoid attempting the asanas that we find challenging 🙃
