#MovementForModernLife + #MoveMoreLiveMore

We have selected 7 yoga classes to help you navigate your travels mindfully. Travel is exciting and enriching but it stands to reason that it can leave us feeling untethered.

This selection is perfect for:

• Everyone including beginners
• If you are on the road, needing a refresh after your journey or recovering from jet lag

Hours spent cramped on planes, trains and automobiles; cooped up in small hotel rooms; dealing with delays and mix-ups or negotiating the unfamiliar and eating unusually rich foods all present us with opportunities for growth but can also leave us feeling ungrounded, achy and with disturbed digestion. Whether we are travelling for business or pleasure, a little yoga, can go a long way to optimise our much anticipated travels so that we arrive at our destination or return home relaxed and centered.  We have selected 7 yoga classes to help you to navigate your travels mindfully.<

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?

We have selected seven classes that directly support you to come back to your centre during and after travel.  We have included a class you can do whilst you’re on the move and to recover from jet lag when you arrive. Classes that will support your digestion whilst you are away and classes to help you ground and stretch out your compressed body. You might consider packing  a yoga towel or a travel mat.

TRAVEL MINDFULLY

We travel to enrich our lives, take some rest, connect with others or make new discoveries. So often, however, our journeys are far from what we imagined.  Long delays, mix-ups, waiting around have all become a regular part of our travel experience, whether we are travelling for business or pleasure. Sometimes we undertake journeys for reasons that can be difficult or challenging which all add to our stress.  We move from our regular routines and change our body’s rhythms. If we accept that our travel will come with some disruption, we can travel mindfully to alleviate the effects. We can breathe through delays without losing our cool. In cramped conditions we can add in some simple asana to find relief. Even the tiniest of plane seats allows for shoulder rolls, forward bends or simple twists. At our destination, practicing some calming yin yoga before bed will allow us to enjoy our days more fully or ease out our lower backs and hips.

WORKING WITH INTENTION

When things don’t go according to plan, remember your intention when you decided to travel.  Is there a way to can connect with this again? How can you be more present with the reality you find yourself in and remain true to what you wanted. As you undertake these classes, remember why you are travelling in the first place, and see how your practice can support you in realising this. 

RECENTRE AND REBALANCE

In Ayurveda, travel is understood to aggravate the Vata dosha. Vata is made up of the air and space elements and governs all movement in the body. Imbalance in this dosha explains the feeling of spaciness that often accompanies travel and often results in disturbed digestion and sleep. Travel can profoundly disturb our systems. When travel be mindful of what you are eating and try and add in some vata appeasing foods such as porridge, yoghurt, root vegetables and sweet, soft fruits or try drinking ginger tea. Practice some grounding asana and if you can, once you have arrived at your destination, go out and try lying on the earth.
