New drink alert! This is the Milk & Honey, a stirred down riff on the Bee’s Knees - we’ve kept it super clean with lactic acid solution replacing the lemon, a lovely wildflower honey and + a lightly fried sage leaf garnish for some heady aromatics and a tiny tiny snack.

Laying with class plans for next week…evening classes by candlelight, working with hip flexors which tighten up as we sit more through the shorter colder days https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/6-yoga-poses-stretch-tight-143416374.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALtxYujF3vGwxLWgTmaKqT5-8clElttBGzuGgOQ29MTpB6It-HCwLvNzC5RUjpyESYxDr3gHTseRQvmtRTmrpgKQh48R3i7tyrZPqVEWka5d7JMMcxeq1uc6ndiCV0s6d7auo0iPWyN_F_l6pb7z6SBM9DMWorb90uYExkkHS7DF

I love these two girls & their adorable happy faces after an afternoons yoga! They do love joining us at class….for the cuddles as well as the treats! Though they do snore at times 😂

I try to avoid the whole consumerism & buying stuff just because it’s Christmas but I think these are lovely ideas… make moments & memories not just wasting money on clutter

So true this last few weeks… but there’s a lot of positivity about to overflow from that busyness into our world! Updates soon 🎉🥰😊

As we in the UK gradually adjust to darker evenings, this quote from Chapter 2 of Embodying The Yoga Sutra comes to mind.

"Yoga recognises that much of our suffering is a response to change on some level, either dissatisfaction with the past, an emotional response to what's in the present or anxiety about the future."

Lovely time at the Manchester art fair & the only thing I photograph is my coffee 🙄 great seeing & some fabulous pieces.

Stay balanced! Our ability to balance is so important for our health! We always include balancing in our yoga classes! https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/nov/02/can-you-stand-on-one-leg-for-10-seconds-why-balance-could-be-a-matter-of-life-and-death-and-how-to-improve-yours?fbclid=IwAR0dKVaIe1A1wL2bzBLvmJgzVZZ5IdBR8qB3hg7zxoY9eH3diKMVLCoRry8

Use this Pooh weather day to get those things done! Maybe book in a yoga class on a dark cold evening so you feel yummy with inner warmth ….

Wise words

From Embodying The Yoga Sutra:

“Think of how you use a walking stick. It is a literal ‘support’ that allows us to do something that otherwise might be difficult or impossible (assuming we have difficulty walking). So let us consider the steps in using the walking stick.

The first step is to have an intention: the desire to walk better and to use the walking stick for support. Walking sticks don’t pick you up – you have to take the initiative.

The second step is learning to use the walking stick: there is some technique involved.

Thirdly, you have to lean on the stick and allow it to support you. This may seem obvious, but in fact is a critical step in our analogy. Unless you actually lean on it, have confidence in its strength and stability and really give yourself to it, it can’t support you.

Finally, you have to be willing to accept what it can give you in order to step forward. Using a stick may feel awkward or unnatural at first: it takes practice to develop your technique and build a good working (or walking!) relationship with it.

We might define the practice of yoga as ‘to take support’ or ‘to benefit from a supportive relationship’. To do this requires the following steps:
- choose your support appropriately
- take the initiative in using the support
- learn the technique required to engage with the support
- have confidence in the support so that you can give yourself to it and let it support you
- accept how the support can bring about its effect
- develop your technique or relationship with it through repeated practice so that it becomes more effective.”

This was before the calm, the postures, the laughter, the food, the treatments, the whirlpool bath, the cold water pool, the steam room, the sound bath, the breathwork, the Yoga in Cheshire spa retreat day! Another lovely day of lovely people 🥰 blessed

More soil shovelling today! Taking fabulous Latchford soil to improve Macclesfield clay garden soil! The plants said thank you 😊

A happy chihuahua eating her Sunday lunch after a walk at Dunham Massey! Good thing hubby is a meat eater as roasted celeriac probably wouldn’t have been enjoyed quite so much!

The days maybe shorter but yoga (& cake) will help you smile - https://mailchi.mp/c4122af0dd18/in-person-yoga-classes-workshops-5895395

"Our aim was to write a practical book while still remaining quite faithful to Patañjali’s ideas. The idea of ‘embodying’ the Yoga Sūtras is another way of saying how do we make them useful? A lot of people may read a little bit of the Yoga Sūtra, and then that’s the end of their engagement philosophical tradition of yoga. What we do is to dig a little deeper and see how some of the ideas can be used in the modern context."

This afternoon was spent at the allergy clinic… a good lesson that stress can result in many weird physical responses but now I’m less stressed my body is more resilient! Maybe I’ll be able to eat nuts again 🤞🤞 ps I plan to ignore the dust mite allergy as otherwise I’ll have to clean more 😂😂😂

I love the transformation of a yoga day or workshop. I’ve added another one for winter solstice as well as our Samhain one on 29th October! Have a look at how beautiful the venue is & I can totally recommend the yummy food 😍 https://yogaincheshire.com/product/dec22/

Best bar in the South East!

New on the drinks list this weekend - the Rye Can’t We Be Friends. It’s first drink on the menu and a banging twist on the Naked & Famous (which is a twist on the Last Word, fact fans). Rye whiskey, yellow chartreuse, aperol and our house acid blend stirred down into a layered herbal sour.
