We are going ahead with the Sawston class - every Monday in October, 2-3pm at St Mary's Church Hall. Please get in touch if you are interested.

There is an exciting new plan so start a very different type of class in
Sawston. Yasmin Emerson contacted me with her idea for
"a class at which children could be present. There are a few classes around for mums and toddlers, but I was hoping to organise a class in my village for the mums or dads, with toys in the corner for the children to play with! I realise that it would be hard to get the usual levels of concentration required (meditation would probably be right out), but it would be a really good way of making time for any yoga at all."
I started doing yoga when pregnant with my daughter Rose (who is now 15) and when I had a 5 and 7 year old. My first years of yoga were fitted around the children in every way - when they were asleep, when they were distracted, when they were joining in - and I love the idea of coming back to something like this.
We haven't got the details sorted yet, but our present thoughts are for an hour long class on Monday afternoons starting in October.

I am loving the new Yin Yoga and Teenage classes - thank you so much for your support. I'm now a fully accreditated British Wheel of Yoga teacher, doesn't change anything about my teaching, but is very useful for me, and I've worked with the BWY since my first year of studying yoga, so it feels like a very nice step.

Dates and venues arranged for the new classes - 8 classes for Teenagers from 6.15-7.15 on Thursdays at the Friends Meeting House, Hartington Grove and 8 classes of Yin Yoga at my house on Mondays from 7.45-9 - I'll get new pages for them soon, and will add all dates for next term this week. Hope to see you soon.

Very exciting news – I’ve decided to start two new classes next term. I haven’t fixed up rooms and times yet (probably Monday evenings) but they are both new ideas – one yoga class for teenagers, and one Yin Yoga class.
I often wish I had started yoga long before I did (at the age of 34) and I think 13-19 is a great time to work on strength, flexibility and stress control.
Yin Yoga is the ‘held’ yoga – you stay in a series of floor poses for 3-5 minutes, and it really works quickly on increasing flexibility. In recent years I have begun to ‘sit and breathe’ for a period of time, and through Yin Yoga have brought the time I can happily sit without needing to move up from 11 minutes in January this year to 30 minutes now. Next week (December 2nd-5th) I will be teaching a Yin Yoga class in all my regular classes so I’d like to invite anyone who is interested to join one of the classes just for the week to see if it would suit you.

Tuesday 1st April
Classes at the Frank Lee start today - can't wait. They will all be drop-in from now on - free for Gold members, £5 for others. When the Friday lunch time classes start they will be £2.50.
The Nightingale classes have a new time - 10.45-12.15, so I have time to get up to the Frank Lee for the new class there.
Friday 29th February 2008
Finally another piece of news. My computer crashed in January, and I lost my mailing lists, though I still have the email addresses in a printed list. I have begun to reconstruct my lists and will send out the usual reminders soon. If you'd like to be sure to be on one please email me!
Very exciting news for me about the Frank Lee - we're going to put on a short (45 minute) lunch time class on Fridays, starting 4th April.

New Thursday Classes
Yesterday I had an amazing day - I was a student in both Fran Hiller's Thursday morning classes. A fantastic morning - then I used several of her ideas in teaching my evening classes!
I've put the dates for these classes onto the 'Individual Classes' page.
News page now scrolls
The plan is to leave old news on the page, so to make room for new news, it scrolls!

Two big changes for me:
I will stop teaching my Melbourn class at the end of this term. It is a great class and the staff at Melbourn are incredibly supportive. They and I are looking for a new teacher for the class - please get in touch if you know of anyone.
After half term I'm starting two new classes on Thursday mornings. Like my Thursday evening class they will be in the Friends Meeting House on Hartington Grove. At present they are taught by Fran Hiller, a fantastic teacher, who is going to work full time at Cambridge University Press. Her students will miss her very much, and I know she'll miss them too.
