Outdoor yoga with triyoga

Check out triyoga's Flash Mob Yoga classes taking place over the next few weeks. First one was last night in Chelsea and the brave yogi's were practicing their moves in the rain. Now that's dedication.

The classes are in collaboration with lululemon athletica, the much loved athletic brand from Canada. These 30 minute vinyasa flow classes will take part in Chelsea, Carnaby Street and Primrose Hill.

The idea? To celebrate yoga, bring the community together and offer some yoga fun.

Post class, Passport to yoga booklets will be given out by the lululemon team. These passports will give you 10 complimentary yoga tickets, which can be redeemed at a participating yoga centre of your choice, triyoga being one of them.

Simply rock up at one of the following sessions, roll out your mat and get moving.

Dates with triyoga teachers:

Thursday 19th July at 1pm - 1.30pm with teacher Claire Missingham

Location - Carnaby Street.

Thursday 26th July at 1pm - 1.30pm with teacher Amne Poulton

Location - Primrose Hill Park.

Bend it with Natasha Rizopoulos

I’m very excited about Natasha Rizopoulos coming to London's triyoga to teach a series of life enhancing workshops. A regular Yoga Journal contributor she certainly knows her stuff and any classes you can do with her will improve your practice and refresh your perspective on life. 

Her style cleverly blends Ashtanga and Iyengar principles which results in a dynamic and intelligently sequenced and aligned Vinyasa Flow class. If you fear going upside down there is an entire workshop dedicated to just this - I have booked already.

Check out detailed info on each of her six workshops at www.triyoga.co.uk

Bump happy

There are some things that really uplift the spirit when with bump - especially towards the end when to be honest it becomes a little uncomfortable.

For that pregnancy feel good factor check out a few of my favourite things:

Using - Spiezia face cleanser. The effective and calming herb blend has kept my skin glowing with health.

Taking - Viridian Pregnancy complex - the blend with the most impressive and purest ingredients list. Its helped keep me energetic and prevented too many hormonal melt downs.

Indulging - Treating myself to a weekly gluten free polenta and almond cake at Melrose + Morgan in Primrose Hill - could be one of the best deli's in London http://www.meroseandmorgan.com/

Stretching my limbs - With the gorgeous Nadia Narain at triyoga - a great way to meet other new mums to be and to give you that feeling of inner calm and contentment http://www.triyoga.co.uk/

Wearing - The beautiful Tallulah & Hope poncho's throughout my entire pregnancy - the fabrics are gorgeous and the shapes very flattering. I am sure they are going to be in my wardrobe post baby too http://www.tallulahandhope.com/

Both Spiezia and Viridian supplements available from the glowgetter store.

Yoga with bump

If you're pregnant and want to continue your yoga practice ( without falling asleep) Nadia Narain's classes at triyoga are exceptional. You can to move seamlessly into various yoga poses which are safe for baby and you, meet other mums-to-be and sing a song to your baby at the end of class. This might all sound a little New Age, well at least the singing bit, but you will feel amazing afterwards. At the end of her class I always feel calmer and more connected to my baby - no wonder Gwyneth Paltrow is such a fan.

Life is too short to spend it doing stuff you really don't like - after all most of our days are spent working. If you are interested in teaching people how to fulfil their potential then book in for the FREE workshop with leading Grinberg practitioner Victoria Oldham at triyoga on 21st November.

This special method offers a structured way of learning through the body, so people can recognise and stop any physical or behavioural patterns which might be restricting their lives.

Get on your mat for charity

The yoga community is supporting charity, Action on Addiction. The idea is to promote the positive link between recovery and yoga by hosting and running a series of yoga classes to raise money for the charity. Top yoga centres including triyoga, new kid on the block Evolve and Yoga Haven in Brighton are all taking part. And with teachers on hand such as Leela Miller and Nadia Narain you are in for a treat. The charity is looking for people of all abilities to challenge themselves by performing as many sun salutations as possible during a 1 hour session with experienced teachers on hand to lend support. Participants will be asked to raise a minimum of £100. I'm all signed up, mat in hand.

Classes run from 16th October - 30th October.
