One of the most amazing things about yoga is that

One of the most amazing things about yoga is that it is a vast, inclusive and has so many different aspects to it. This means that students taking part in a yoga teacher training may pick up different things both personally and professionally. And while it’s lovely to know there isn’t only one yoga teaching journey here are a few things that I think may be beneficial to someone taking part in a training …. 🧘‍♀️A deeper understanding of yoga beyond the poses
🧘‍♀️Learning how to sequence your practice in a functional way based on a deep understanding of the body
🧘‍♀️Learning how to safely modify postures and be able to offer variations for a variety of students
🧘‍♀️Knowledge of the anatomy of the body to help inform their own practice, to teach safely and to be able to offer suitable modifications for those that need it.
🧘‍♀️The ability to share yoga with others, and bring a sense of their own understanding
🧘‍♀️Learning how to live a more peaceful life on and off the mat
🧘‍♀️ A clearer understanding of how life works! Want to find out more? Join me for my next ONLINE & FREE BWY Teacher Training Intro Session on Sunday 13th July to find out if this is the next step in your yoga journey. BWY Teacher Training Starts in October 2025 #yoga #yogatt #yogateacherlondon #yogateachertraining #yogateachertrainingcourse #bwy #britishwheelofyoga #britishwheelofyogateacher #bwyteachertraining @britishwheelofyoga @bwylondon @bwyintheeast

And so we land in July, the final month of my full schedule before we naturally slow down. You may be thinking that it’s too hot to do yoga or the sunnier evenings in the park may be much more than tempting - A quick look would suggest that even though sitting in your garden or the park with a nice cool drink may seem the most desirable choice it is actually MORE beneficial to come to yoga ….. Lets remember that yoga comes from India, a generally very warm place so there are definitely some benefits to practicing in the warmer climates - for example it increases your flexibility, helps release stress by softening out that tension and tightness in our muscles, boosts your heart rate because you have to work that little bit harder, you have to focus a little bit more which helps clear the mind of your everyday mind clutter. I for one am really enjoying not worrying about extra layers for relaxation and walking out of the church hall while there is still light and enjoying a warm journey home. Let’s get some yoga in before the holidays call us x #yoga

Well that was a treat. Trying not to tempt fate but not a lot can go wrong when you have get the best people up the side of a mountain to enjoy sun, sea, sand, yummy food, good conversations, sweaty walks, ice-cream breakfast (okay and ice cream lunch and dinner) and of course some (well a lot!)

Until next year - and not forgetting the #yoghurtporn iykyk

Look out for some more collaborations this summer ♥️ #chairyoga #yogaforall #yogaforeverybody #yoga

The summer solstice is a time of honouring the ear

The summer solstice is a time of honouring the earth and the sun’s blessings of warmth and light. In Pantanjali’s Yoga Sutras 3.26 it’s written, “One learns from the perfect discipline of the sun and solar system.”
As well as a traditional pagan holiday, Midsummer is recognised world wide as the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It is a time to honor the sun and the life it gives, a day to celebrate the power and abundance of the sun, a symbol of light, warmth, and growth. It celebrates the abundance of nature that sustains us. So come join me in honouring the solstice, the longest day of the year and my favourite day for a one off special ONLINE sun salutations class on Thursday 19th June at 12pm- if you can’t make it recordings will be available to all that book in - and that way you can actually practice it on the solstice (June 21st in case you didn’t know :)) Booking via link in bio

‘You’ll never get bored when you try something

‘You’ll never get bored when you try something new , there’s no limit to what you can do’ ~ Dr Seuss I can’t tell you how many times I hear from my non yoga practicing friends, acquaintances, people I meet on the street how they can’t do yoga because they can’t touch their toes! It amazes me that we as adults think that we need to be good at something before actually practicing the thing that would make us good at it. As someone with young children I see this same sort of attitude in them sometimes. They love to do the things they find easy and if it’s too hard there is often a bit of a tantrum or a quick need to give up …. BUT how would any of us become good at anything if that was the common attitude. How would the world keep working, how would things get invented, how would we cure illness and disease, how would we save animals, how would we have started flying. These were all things that people didn’t know how to do but or practiced, put time and effort in to and eventually something was created. Now i’m not saying yoga is as important as any of the above but I do believe yoga is an amazing tool to help us live and support us in this day and age. It’s not about touching your toes and it never will be. It’s the journey, it’s the connection, it’s the acceptance, it’s the dedication, it’s the changing your mindset, its the letting go of what you don’t need, it’s the self care - it’s the little drops of wisdom and self realisation that you may not even realise is happening while your on your way down to them. If you are unsure as to whether or not yoga is for you or you have been thinking about attending but feeling nervous let me just say that ‘Yoga is for EVERYBODY and EVERY BODY.’ #yoga

WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL
10AM – 10:45AM (FULL)
11AM – 11:45AM (STILL AVAILABILITY) Age: 4- 9 Years old (and a little bit either side) Yoga has so many benefits that can be incorporated into a child’s development by giving them tools that will help them understand the elusive workings of their body and mind, through Asana’s (postures), breathing, voice work and relaxation helping them to become more confident and focused. Using yoga in a child’s life will help them to concentrate longer and discipline their minds to conquering overexcitement and hyperactivity, and you will notice a difference in the attention and focus of a child before and after a yoga session. My approach to yoga for children is to encourage it as a form of play, by creating stories to help guide the children through the poses and letting them use their imagination in how to accomplish them. By doing so, helps them to retain their flexibility and strength as they grow which they can use throughout their daily lives. Cost: £7per child/£5 sibling BOOK NOW via link in bio

Hello 👋 I thought I would say a quick hi and

Hello 👋 I thought I would say a quick hi and let you know a little bit about me and this page x grateful for the love 💓 My name is sunnah and I have been teaching yoga since 2002 🙂 yes a very long time 😂 I teach general yoga to adults. I don’t have a particular style and have studied with various teacher, styles over the years - this way my teaching has evolved and means I am not boxed in to only doing things one way. I specialise in Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga - this has given me the privilege of meeting and supporting women through some amazingly joyous moments of their life. Not to mention hang out with lots of cutie babies 👶 My partner thinks I am a workaholic! He is right, I love love love teaching yoga. I am still amazed at how transformational a practice it can be for people Someone once said that an average student life is 2 years. I am happy to say that I have quite a few students that have been with me much longer then that and some I would even call amazing friends - which means that yoga weekend and retreats can feel like brilliant holidays with mates. ‘Your vibe attracts your tribe’ I love yoga and love teaching it (yes I said this before) - I currently teach the BWY Foundation Course and the BWY Teacher Trainer which is immense and blowing my mind. It took me a very long time to feel confident enough to do this but so far I love it 🥰 I have been self employed as a yoga teacher most of my working life, which some days can be a weight on my shoulders but most of the time creates the most amazing opportunities It may not translate in the amount of likes that my posts generate (basically not many!) but I am living proof that what you see on social media isn’t always the truth!!! I can’t be the judge of my teaching (I will let my students decide that) but am proud of the business I have built over years of hard work, perseverance and showing up. On this page you will hear about yoga classes, workshops, yoga retreats/holidays/weekends, yoga trainings and a little glimpse into my life as a mum to two little yogi boys !!!

Yoga through the years ❤️I spoke recently about my Menopause Yoga course and I have been sitting with a conversation that I had at the end of the session. 💃🏼One of the ladies attending spoke with me at the end and mentioned how long she had been coming to my classes. 🤰🏾 While she is not a full on regular at my sessions she started over 15 years ago by doing a Groupon Voucher with me (Never again btw) and started attending regular weekly sessions after that until she got pregnant at which point she came to my pregnancy classes. I then taught her with her baby in the postnatal sessions - and now after a little break, her child is 11 years old and she now has come to menopause yoga. What opposite ends of the spectrum but also how amazing that this practice can support us wherever we are in our life. What’s the next phase? Just awaiting one of those babies from my postnatal sessions to start yoga with me and then I know we have turned a full cycle. #yoga
