Ep 126 20 mins Night Sky Yoga Nidra Inner Journey
Yoga by Nature Podcast
This is a yoga nidra that I wrote for the Embodiment Restorative Yoga series. Every Autumn I run a series of workshops which progressively take you on an inner journey and a celebration of rich inner life. This Nidra uses a visualisation of stars to illuminate the inner body. Apparently this year, Wintering is in, so this is an absolute essential for any budding Winterers out there, or anyone who, like me, relishes any opportunity to introvert 🌚 Join me for the final workshop in the Embodiment series 22nd December 7 - 9pm online - a special Solstice practice.

Ep 125 Gentle Winter Yoga Pt 2 - Yoga in Midlife and Beyond
Yoga by Nature Podcast
Here's part two. A live class I recorded at my Gentle Yoga class on a Thursday morning. You can come live to this one on Zoom if you like! I wanted to share it because it's focused on joint freedom and the class participants loved it so much I thought you might too. The cold can creep into our joints and make movement feel uncomfortable. This can happen at any age but those of us in our forties and beyond, especially us menopausal women can really feel it. This class shows you thay you don't have to feel uncomfortable - there is pleasure and ease to be found in the body, whatever your...

Hello, This is a yoga practice especially for anyone who is feeling the cold 🥶 and who wants to prepare the body for coping with the icy weather. We start with warming breath work, then we free the joints, move gently through standing poses, build our bone and muscle mass and do some pelvic floor awareness and strengthening. This class also includes some fall-prevention, teaching the muscle memory to react quickly in fall positions like slipping back or forward. Find me at .

Ep 121: Sway Yoga Nidra. Peace, rest and flow
Yoga by Nature Podcast
I love this yoga nidra from our restorative yoga teacher Lucy Saunders. Sadly, Lucy has to take a break for a while from YBN while she restores her own health. This podcast is a yoga nidra she guided us through originally in October when there was a lot of movement in the air. I thought it would be a beautiful practice to lead us into Spring also, as exuberance begins to bubble under the surface. Join us for online classes, in-depth yoga courses, teacher training or a retreat. Find out more at Questions and comments Namaste 🙏🙏

Ep. 119 Interview: Have a Peri Peri-Menopausal Christmas
Yoga by Nature Podcast
How to have a great Christmas against the backdrop of peri-menopause, with myself and nutritionist Amy Payne. In case you missed it on Insta, Amy and I share nutrition, yoga, mindfulness and lifestyle tips so you can join in with all the fun of Christmas without exacerbating your peri-menopause symptoms. Erratic blood sugar levels, heightened stress hormones and little opportunity to move our bodies are a recipe for poor sleep, anxiety, hot flushes, sweats and poor digestion. We hope you benefit from these really easy, small adjustments to help you manage your symptoms without...

Yoga by Nature Podcast
Happy Winter everyone! This is a recording of a live class I taught last week. It's called Sparkle and Shine because it's dark outside and we need to search for the sparkles within. If you have equipment, have 2 blocks, a belt and a blanket handy but don't worry if you don't have them. Look out for a special solstice inner sparkle Nidra coming up next week. Check us out at find @yogabynatureuk on socials for competitions, interviews and all sorts. Questions and comments to Thank you!!! 🙏
info_outlineThis is a practice for peace and self-support. This week I found myself feeling shaken and tearful much of the time after the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It occurred to me that many others may be feeling the same and so I created this practice to share. I hope it helps you build resilience and reconnect to the good in life. When we are calm and strong, we can help other people. Doing yoga isn't going to stop the war, but it will help us all to cope and be ready to help.
Props needed:
Bolster/ pillows
Blocks/ books or cushions
