Sometimes it’s in the moments of stillness that

Sometimes it’s in the moments of stillness that we learn the most about ourselves. Yoga is perhaps the only physical activity where we truly experience the deep connection between mind, body and breath and where moving slowly or even in stillness our physical understanding of ourselves can deepen.

It’s not about sticking your foot behind your head, (although the journey to this achievement might teach you a lot) but about understanding and feeling how you and your body are connected and how they work. The simple movements working with the breath of this simple flow can teach us so much about ourselves. Every flow is a new beginning and a new time to experience and learn. I find often I learn the most about myself and my body when performing the simplest movements that I repeat over and over again. I can pause in any of these movements to deepen and connect mind, body and breath. Hand balances, splits etc are all fun to accomplish and a big part of understanding the process, but personally I most often work with the most basic movements with the deepest slowest breath.

The connection I experience in my #yoga practice has greatly influenced my life in a positive and calming way. I’d be interested to know how it guides and affects yours? Let me know in the comments.

This is my go to movement pattern for those mornin

This is my go to movement pattern for those mornings when my back feels super tight. It’s a super easy flow that I start with and which easily flows into more dynamic movements as my back begins to release. It’s often the starting sequence to my #yoga classes. The simple Cat/Cow flow but with a focus on back extension. I find the exhale extension helps me go deeper into the centre of my back and help release tension in the lumbar spine. You can feel the tension in the vertebrae releasing with each rotation.

Give it a try and let me know how you go.

In memory of when we used to have to carry everything. The long haul to col de Beaugean above #chamonix with board carry and snowshoes and full climbing gear and rope used to be a heavy work out. Today it’s still a mission, but #splitboarding has definitely changed the experience for the better.

Who remembers these times?

Just get up and flow…
.
This is my go to morning flow for my aching back, hips and knees. Super easy flow, takes a few minutes and eases me into the day. Follow the breath, explore the full flexion and extension of the movements and the breath.
.
Takes literally a few minutes so get it in lock.

#splitboarding in the Lofoten isles is a truly mag

#splitboarding in the Lofoten isles is a truly magical experience. Ocean to summit adventures, amazing riding terrain, incredible views and scenery, traditional lodgings, amazing food, saunas hot tubs and cold plunges (optional) and evening #yoga
.
Surrounded by nature everyday, this is a welcome step out of the norm and a real deep dive into the world of Arctic exploration and splitboard adventure.
.
I can’t wait to get back out there to climb new summits explore new lines with a great group of like minded adventurer’s. This will be 10th year exploring this incredible region and it still blows my mind every single day. #letsgo
