16.01.2022 White Horse Yoga Centre opens its doors again today. Group classes, 1:1 classes and Yoga Therapy available. Please look at the website for details. So excited www.whitehorseyoga.co.uk

16.01.2022 We are so excited to be opening our doors again for the practice of Yoga after being closed for over 4 months! Many regular classes will resume next week and w...e will have new classes suitable for beginners and those with experience starting in September. We count ourselves as extremely fortunate to have a practice space which is dedicated to Yoga where we have been able to implement all Covid -19 secure measures including: Compliance with social distancing of at least 2 metres with reduced class sizes. Generous time between classes so no congestion points. Hand sanitiser stations. 2 x medical grade air purification systems installed in the studio. No multi use of studio - just Yoga Limited number of teachers to ensure hygiene standards and compliance maintained. No drop in classes - all classes become a 'bubble' Many of our classes can be attended in person or via Zoom as these classes will have simultaneous live streaming. Which means if you cannot come to class due to restrictions at any time you can still attend via Zoom. Or, if you cannot get to the studio or don't wish to attend in person, you can book a 'Zoom only' space. Whilst Zoom classes have been an amazing tool to get us through these challenging times, it cannot replace the experience of coming together to practice in a group with like minded people. A full timetable of classes along with details about how to book are available on our website. www.whitehorseyoga.co.uk We look forward to welcoming you.

We are ...delighted to be offering this course at WHY this year. Viniyoga is a traditional approach to yoga, and this course will teach the way yoga is practiced in the viniyoga tradition. Viniyoga is a tradition that includes classroom teaching, one to one teaching and Yoga Therapy. On the course we will explore physical practice (asana), breath and movement, sequencing (vinyasa krama), breathing practice (pranayama), the history and spirit of viniyoga, the yoga Sutra of Patanjali (philosophy of yoga) and much more. Are you a student of yoga who would like to learn and explore the viniyoga tradition? Are you interested in learning to teach in the viniyoga tradition? Are you a teacher (min 500 hours) in another school of yoga who would like to train as a Yoga Therapist in the viniyoga tradition? If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, or you'd like to learn more about this course then get in touch. We have 6 viniyoga classes each week at White Horse Yoga Centre so there is plenty of opportunity to practice within this wonderful tradition at the beautiful White Horse Yoga Centre.

We have 5 viniyoga classes each week at White Horse Yoga Centre in Devizes and offer one to one viniyoga yoga therapy sessions....

06.01.2022 One of the aims of Yoga practice is to avoid future suffering. Heya dukhamangatam is the way to express this idea in Sanskrit (YS II.16) How can we practise ...this yogic idea when we desire to attend yoga classes or lessons during the current COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak? We could consider the following: - if we feel unwell, don't go to class - bring and use our own mats, blankets and blocks - wash hands before and after class - use a handkerchief or similar to open and close doors - If we are teachers, stop using "hands-on" teaching techniques to adjust students until we are clear of the pandemic - avoid practising prnyma techniques that bring hand and nose together, unless hands have been washed before hand and after our practice - avoid vigourous breathing techniques like kaplabht and bhastrika in a class situation. These are cleansing techniques that can pump out stuff that is lining or blocking the air passages - improve ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors. This will be more comfortable as we move towards summer but could be done now if everyone agreed to dress more warmly - If we are teachers, find ways to increase the space between mats, like reducing the size our classes or moving to a bigger room - If we are running longer workshops, ask attendees to bring their own drink (tea/coffee/snacks etc) - Refraining from hugging, shaking hands etc. Palms together, , make a wonderful greeting and farewell gesture. The above, it is suggested, would lower the risk of catching or passing on viruses and would make attending yoga classes a lower risk activity. We might also consider the impact of not attending our regular yoga class on those whose living depends on them. There are yoga teachers whose main income is from teaching yoga and not going to class when we are well could impact negatively on these big-hearted people who give so much to share their yoga knowledge and skills. The COVID-19 coronavirus is fast moving and the advice is changing in response to its spread and impact. So keep up to date with the latest advice. It is suggested that, based on the current advice, there is no reason to stop going to class unless you are unwell and if we all, together, maintain high standards of hygiene we will get the balance just about right. Heya dukhamangatam asks us to take time before we act to ensure that what we do and do not do won't increase suffering, will reduce suffering and will prevent the return of suffering.

06.01.2022 The following words are from my friend and colleague Peter Blackaby. Peter has a profound understanding of the human condition. Read this and take heart xx Tha...nk you Pete xxx I’ve never jumped out of an aeroplane, but I imagine the last couple of weeks feel a bit like that.. and we are all in various stages of descent. Some spinning madly with your stomach lurching, others might have felt the parachute open, slowing your descent giving you time to think, others may have landed and started to find some ground under your feet. If your spinning there are a few things that it might be helpful to reflect on. Worry.. what can we do with worry? One thing is to gauge it a bit like when you practice yoga, how much effort do I need to do something? Don’t do enough and you can’t complete your intention, do to much you get exhausted. If worry is to serve any purpose let it worry you into washing your hands, keeping responsible social distance, and helping those you can. Try not pay more attention to the things that are upsetting you, you just give it more power in the same way that if you give to much attention to your sore knee it just hurts more. Transitions. Big transitions often feel very destabilising at the time; many of you will have been through one or know someone who has, The death of a loved one, the ending of a long term relationship, being diagnosed with a serious illness.. these are life changing events but we get through them and very often we get through them with something added because we have had to reach into ourselves, these are the knocks of life that shape us scar us and remind we have lived a life. Attention. Those of you who practice yoga know it is a great deal about where you decide to place your attention. Place it squarely on whatever it is you're doing. Whether its playing with the homebound children, washing the dishes or getting a grip on Zoom This kind of attention is useful it gets things done and pushes our negative ruminations away. Good luck, you are not alone only distanced!
