Men! Your yoga class needs you! (Actually you need your yoga class!!)

Real men do yoga

I’m always pleased when I see positive media coverage of yoga and especially when it involves men. Ryan Giggs has been getting a lot of attention recently, putting his long and successful football career down to “Hard work, strict diet and yoga”. Russell Brand and Colin Farrell are frequently snapped with yoga mats under their more…

Do we give ourselves the time we need to heal?

Burning the candle at both ends

I’ve been full of cold this week – cue much sympathy! Now I like to take to my bed when I’m feeling poorly. I appreciate that I am lucky to be able to do this and appreciate that it is not always an option, which got me thinking about the nature of illness and rest and the pressure more…

Following the excesses of Christmas many people look to yoga to help them embrace a healthier lifestyle, we get a lot of enquiries and new students coming to classes. One of the most frequent questions we get asked (after “Do more…

In the deep mid-winter…

Winter warmers

Winter is a time of rest and consolidation – recovering from the autumn harvest and preparing for the energetic burst into spring. I always think it is a bit of a contradiction that we are so busy in winter time - working and partying hard, preparing for the festive season, launching into new year resolutions – more…

For my final blog of the year, I thought I would leave you with my festive season survival kit – yoga focussed on keeping you healthy this Christmas. If you’ve been at classes the last couple of weeks you will be familiar with the practises, so I hope this will just remind you of some more…

Benefit from some space in your life

Continuing my theme from last time, on making time for yourself, I thought I would look at some of the ways Dru Yoga can help us find space…and we probably need some space more than ever right now! I often have to remind myself of the benefits I experience if I put aside time just for more…

Pukka Practices!

Autumn leaves

A couple of months ago the lovely people at Pukka Herbs asked me to ”test drive” and then review, honestly, a couple of their products and as I was planning an Autumn cleanse anyway (which I mentioned in my last blog), I was more than happy to do this. So here are my thoughts on their products and how they more…

Focus on a healthy Autumn

Yoga for Autumn

As I write this, Inside Out’s Autumn term is getting under way, so I thought I’d take this oppotunity to share with you some of the things we are going to be focussing on in class, as we head towards Christmas. The team and I have had some happy hours planning our autumn sessions. We were more…

Eat to sleep – food to ease insomnia

Hopefully, my previous posts on sleep have had you drifting off to the land of nod as soon as your head hits the pillow (…because my advice has been helpful and not because my blogs are boring!). Thought I’d just share a couple of diet related tips which I hope help you too. Bedtime snacks: more…

It’s 3am and I’m wide awake!!

The moon - bringer of sleep

Does this sound familiar? It’s 3am and you are wide awake! At Inside Out we often hear that you get off to sleep OK, only to wake up again in the middle of the night, and then the mind gets involved and before you know it you’re re-running the previous day, stressing about the day more…
