Emily joined us late last summer, in between lockdowns when we were able to hold space in person for our lovely community, however fleetingly that was! As we reemerged from that first lockdown, Emily was a breath of fresh air, bringing her be…
Every Saturday for the past four years I have been welcoming people into our yoga studio and exchanging some of the usual comments: “I had to drag myself off the sofa..”, “It's been a while, I need this” or “You again, how many sessions today…
We’ve been lucky to have Rosa and her beautiful offerings at the studio pretty much since we first opened our doors. Yoga teacher and massage therapist, Rosa brings such a wonderfully unique energy to her sessions, grounding her practices in …
One thing we've learnt this last year is that you can definitely count on one of Pete's classes for a challenge and a chuckle! Often found sporting a bright pair of leggings and catching lamps mid shavasana, he manages to infuse his lighthear…
Sarah has been teaching with us for the last two years, bringing her fun, focussed and challenging style to the studio. Before she moved to Bristol, Sarah had been living in Singapore, where she trained in Anusara, a more modern school of Hat…
It can be difficult to find the energy and motivation to get on your mat at the best of times; life brings with it distractions and it can be hard to prioritise your practice amongst your daily goings on. And right now, we can’t deny that pra…
Olu is one of our longest-standing teachers and a familiar face for those that come to practice Ashtanga or Vinyasa at the studio. He has been teaching with us since we opened 4 years ago and in that time, people have come to love his challen…
So, you've been thinking about taking up Yoga? YEY! That's great - just thinking about it is the first step. With anything new, it starts off as a seed in our minds, consciously or otherwise. Perhaps you've read about the benefits of yoga som…
Firstly, how are you? How are you feeling? There is a myriad of emotions and thoughts when we start our pregnancy journey, and no two journeys are the same. It is one of those life experiences that encompasses something so natural within us a…
"My yoga practice started with a yang style when I was 18. I fell in love with the physicality of movement and the meditation for my mind. It wasn’t until I started working at Trika a decade later that I discovered restorative yoga, at a time…
Leaving your comfort zone is where you grow and yoga continues to remind me of this. Despite having an interest in yoga for a while, it took me a few years to attend my first class. I had a lot of nerves and excuses. “I’ll do it next week” or…
Your mind is a powerful tool for attracting what you want into your life. What you focus on internally often manifests itself externally in some way, especially if you’re spending more time focussing on one thing than anything else. We aren’t…
By Finn Evans Yoga and music are both forms of non-verbal communication. A way to have a conversation with a part of you that does not speak but wants to be heard. Although sound and movement are universal, our own individual connection and e…
by Jo Large I’ve always had a yoga habit (well for several years now), but even at times when I am really consistent with practice, I have struggled to keep up a daily practice. I think part of the problem is that I love ashtanga, but I also …
by Charlene LimWe know our mental state can affect our physical. I read somewhere recently that reminded me it can be true for the other way round too- that your physical can affect your mental state. I suppose oh yeah! this is one of the rea…
by Anna Loveridge It’s not uncommon to feel nervous about going to a new studio or a new yoga class, and it can take some weeks or months to feel at ease entering a new space. Arriving in Bristol as a new teacher on the scene I was a little n…
That first step back onto the mat can feel like a daunting one. Even the most dedicated yogi’s take time off from their practice, for all manner of different reasons. Sometimes it’s even healthy to step back for a little while, regain your pe…
We’ve been thinking a lot recently about balance. What it means to be balanced. What to do if we feel off-balance. How we can bring more balance and alignment to our lives in general. 2020 has been a particularly unbalancing time for us all s…
Breathing. It’s one of those things we all do. But whilst it’s something so intertwined into the fabric of our every day, we rarely turn our attention to it. It just happens, without conscious effort or control. Yet when we do focus on the br…
You may have scrolled down on our schedule and noticed a number of classes throughout the week called Rocket Yoga. The name alone suggests it’s a strong practice, but that doesn’t mean all levels aren’t welcome. If you’ve yet to find a more f…
