Your Yoga Practice Exeter

It's Wednesday again! And it is full of wonderful things:

I started with Early Morning Club in the cool and the quiet. Now at my weekly stop for coffee and a morning bun at .exeter while I plan for the New Moon Circle I am facilitating this afternoon for Emma ⚔️Shame-slayer & ND truth-teller for mums done playing nice. Then off to the park for Mini-Yogis at Garland@The Birdhouse CIC and this evening I have my small group Yoga class at Kiva & Zen Yoga & Holistic Healing Rooms Topsham Exeter.

If you're coming to any of these then I will see you soon!

This is the Pranayama that my teacher gave me for the end of my current morning practice. It's a single technique with a single ratio repeated for 32 breaths. It's simple and not especially demanding, which means that the hard work is all with the mind, the flow, the continuity of focus.

I'm finding it so hard! I'm used to working on developing techniques, ratios and breath length, with a vinyasa that works up to a peak and steps back down again - demanding my focus in a way that this does not. My mind is desperate to avoid it, both before it happens (I definitely don't have time this morning 😆) and to escape during.

It is a real test of Abhyasa - the effort to remain there. With the moment. Not with external stimulus. Not with my thoughts, with what's coming up or what's been happening...

Thanks to for this frustrating challenge!
