🌻Yogis, this is where our used postage stamps go to. Please keep collecting to help this worthy cause. Thank you 🙏

STAMPS

As many of you know, we have been collecting used stamps for several years to help Royal National Institute of Blind People raise funds. These funds help provide equipment and support for people who are blind or visually impaired, including items such as audio players that enable them to enjoy books and other resources.

For a long time, we have been sending the stamps in a pre-paid A4 envelope, which we fill completely. Each envelope usually contains around 800 grams of stamps.

However, due to the increasing cost of postage, the charity has advised that if we wish to continue this collection, we will need to cover the postage costs ourselves.

After some discussion, they have kindly offered us another option. They have provided me with a collection box (shown in the photograph below). Once the box is full, I will weigh it and request a pre-paid postage sticker, which will be emailed to me. I can then take the parcel to the Post Office.

So, are we all up for the challenge of filling the box?

I really hope we can continue with this, as our stamp collection helps to make a real difference to many people.

Please keep sending your used stamps to me — every one counts!

Very kind regards,
Brian

💤 EXHAUSTED but your mind won’t stop racing when your head hits the pillow? Find your calm with Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra 💤

Traditional meditation can feel like a chore when you are already running on empty. Restorative Yoga and Nidra can help reset your nervous system. Just lie down, listen and let go.

This is a science backed, guided relaxation practice designed to melt away anxiety and silence racing thoughts.

Expect gentle, passive, supported poses to fully relax your muscles and unwind your mind, restoring your body with deep healing rest.

No flexibility, experience or effort required, just plain pure melting stillness.

Join us on the mat or chair to inhale the future and exhale the past.

Hey yogis,

We are home. This is the only photo Mr Sunflower managed to remember to take from our recent holiday 😂 but isn’t it a gorgeous one!

Booking is open for classes during May which restart tonight, tomorrow and Thursday.

See you on the mat/chair!

🌻 Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra is a therapeutic practice which supports the body to help it heal and repair. We use this restorative practice to reduce stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the rest and digest activities that occur when the body is at rest.

Yoga Nidra allows you to access delta brainwaves, which are responsible for the healing and restoration that happens in your body during deep sleep. Activating delta brainwaves during Yoga Nidra allows your mind and body to rest while you're awake. Therefore this is the perfect choice for people who have a stressful job, who are recovering from injury/illness and for people who struggle to sleep well.

The gift of Yoga Nidra - gaining everything whilst doing nothing.

Booking essential.

🌻 A reminder that Chair Yoga restarts tomorrow at 11am.

I suspect I’ll have trouble keeping you all on track as you’ll have so much catching up to do!!!!

See you on the chair!

🌻Thank you to the 18 beautiful souls who turned up to restart their yoga practice with me today. We eased ourselves in gently with a healing yin practice which focussed on gratitude.

My gratitude goes to all of my loyal yogis; those who turned up today and those of you who have booked future classes. I’m looking forward to restarting our practice together over the coming weeks.

Thank you for accepting me as I am, not fully healed, with limitations but also with a heart full of gratitude.

Alison 🙏
