Serenify UK

Continuing our celebration from last term, the Jrs had an unforgettable and relaxing yoga session with Serenify UK ! 🧘‍♂️🎉✨

Yoga teachers - we're always learning too!

As with any profession, there's always a need for CPD... Continuous Professional Development.

Although to be qualified to teach, we've done hours of practice, teaching, studied physiology, anatomy, understanding yoga's history and philosophy - we'll sometimes forget things and best practice evolves!

Our students will teach us more than just focusing on textbooks. There's nothing like putting theory into reality.

I love learning from practitioners, fellow teachers and experienced yogis. I'll forever be a student of yoga and of life 🫶🏻

My first aerial yoga workshop ✨

What a way to spend a birthday! It was so much fun.

Things I learned:
- Props = harder/supported experience
- Tucks are hard work
- Being upside down is fun (but can get a lot)
- Yoga is meant to be playful and experimental.
- Give a pose a go, get it wrong and try again.
- Savasana in a hammock is such a different vibe, being gently rocked and fully supported is so lush 😌

Welcoming January - Setting intentions for the new year.

As 2026 begins, many people are setting resolutions and goals. Perhaps this year you can set intentions and bring more intentional living to each day.

Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas 🎄

Today, Sunday 21 December is the winter solstice: the longest night 🌙
This day invites us to slow down, turn inward and rest deeply.

Here are 9 things you can do to honour this day.
1. A slow, grounding flow
2. Hold long, supported postures to invite stillness (with layers)
3. Take time for deep belly breathing
4. Set an intention for the next season
5. Extend and enjoy your savasana
6. Light a candle to symbolise returning light
7. Journal, with a focus on what you can release
8. Take a moment to enjoy and sip a warm tea
9. Close your practice and the day with gratitude for rest and renewal

In November, I completed Yin Yoga teacher training through 🧘🏻‍♀️

It was a wonderful experience, with an incredible group of yoga teachers. I can't wait to teach Yin in 2026.

A huge thank you to .shapiro who taught the course. I learned so much, and have so much to continue to learn within Yin.

Happy Friday ☀️

Here's to cosy weekend mornings with a morning pastry, a homemade coffee and yoga reading - this book is about traditional Chinese medicine 🥐☕📖

What is yoga? 🧘‍♀️

It's a lifestyle and a philosophy.

Cleaning the mirror - is a metaphor for purifying the mind and body. It's achieved through meditation, asana practice (yoga poses), pranayama (breathing exercises) and mantras.

Spreading the light - is a metaphor for reflecting what you practice outwards, a clear mind is able to reflect the soul and allows balance and harmony to take place to lead us to awakening.
