• Those wanting to improve their focus and concentration
• All levels 
• Classes 15 - 45 minutes in length

Studying can take a lot out of you: you need to be on full form mentally, whilst you spend hours sitting at a desk building stiffness and tension, and whilst you build your mental power you’re most likely also building up your stress, anxiety and nerves. A few simple steps can really help you to get back on track,  feel a whole lot better as you prepare for those exams and help you perform at your best.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?

This course is for you if you want support building your focus and concentration, stretch out, get moving and promote deep rest so you can get back to those books with a sharp mind and relaxed body.  To help you to direct support where you need it most, we’ve picked classes with a specific focus. We’ve grouped these so they’re easy to find: The first three will help build concentration and clarity; 4-6 will help you stretch out those kinks and achy bits: 7 - 9 will help you to get moving and get blood flowing to the brain and 10 - 12 are perfect to help you relax and get to sleep. Best of all classes most classes are around 30 minutes long but with classes as short as 15 minutes, you will find the perfect class to fit into your study break. 

You might want to try different classes on different days, or focus on one area you find challenging, or you might even want to do two: one in the morning and one of the relaxing ones just before bed. We suggest that you decide when you will practice and schedule it in.  You probably have a study schedule and without making the space on it to look after yourself, it’s really easy to let it slip. Remember you only need to schedule in 15 - 30 minutes for a perfect re-energising break. You might want to keep coming back to a favourite class that you find really helpful or check out other classes by the teachers listed.

HOW WILL THIS HELP ME?

Yoga is a great way to relieve stress and get your blood flowing.  Did you know that when you’re stressed the body releases cortisol? This hormone can keep us alert but if you are stressed all the time, it begins to affect your health, and one of the results is that your memory is not as sharp as it could be. Yoga can help you to lower your cortisol levels allowing your memory to work at its best. Getting moving can literally help brain cells grow in the area of your brain used for learning and memory. We’re sure that you have heard that lots of sleep can help too.  This is because when you sleep, whatever you’ve been studying ‘sticks’ so that you can remember it when you need to. Neat, huh? 

ANY OTHER TIPS?

Alongside your yoga practice, there are lots of things you can do to make your studying more productive.  Try to eat well to maintain your energy levels. Fresh fruit, nuts and seeds are all good options as snacks. You’re working hard to build focus, so why not give yourself an extra bit of support by blocking distracting sites on your phone or web browser, or limit your time on those. Speak out loud when studying, you will remember it more! Be kind to yourself. It can take time to get your head round and remember tricky concepts; by being kind to yourself, you’re giving yourself the space and permission to learn. Prepare your space: designate somewhere as your study area. Keep it clean and clear, have things nearby that help you to remember your goals. You might like to burn some rosemary oil too, traditionally rosemary has been linked with giving your memory a boost. Finally, don’t keep putting it off, prepare and launch in! 

AND FINALLY...

Good Luck. All of us at MFML are rooting for you as you study.  We’d love to hear how you’re getting on. Why not let us know in the Movers group and share any tips you might have.
