The Profound Impact of Yoga Studio Communities: A Reflection on Health and Connection

As the fast paced technological world seems increasingly eager to connect us only digitally, the value of genuine human connection has become increasingly significant. I’d like to share with you a reflection on the role I believe a Yogalife plays in the lives of its community.

Mental Well-being: It’s not long before you feel part of the fabric of this studio and each time you walk through those doors you’re filled with a the sense of belonging and acceptance. It is a place where people gather, sharing experiences and finding solace amidst the demands of daily life. Studies published in the Journal of Psychology and Aging outlines positive correlation between regular social interactions and decreased rates of depression, anxiety, and stress.

Holistic Health: Yogalife offers a truly holistic approach to wellness. Regular practice, guided by skilled instructors, will improve your strength, flexibility, balance, and overall fitness. However, it’s the method of this guidance that makes it so valuable in our lives. Yogalife nurtures a supportive environment that fosters growth & exploration, it encourages development & challenge, but also acceptance.

Immune Resilience: Deepening our understanding of the mind-body connection, we discover that hot yoga has a great potential to strengthen the immune system. By reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and nurturing overall well-being, yoga practice positively influences immune function. One interesting article I quote during our teacher training course comes from the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine, and highlights the significant correlation between social support, prevalent within the yoga studio community, and an enhanced immune response.

Meaningful Connections: Yogalife offers an opportunity to develop deep, meaningful connections. The yoga becomes a catalyst for forging bonds between our students as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth together. At every class you can encounter like-minded souls from diverse backgrounds, united by a common interest in health, wellness, and personal development. These connections extend beyond the confines of the yoga mat, becoming a network of support & friendship that will enrich your life.

My personal take on the studio is that people come to the studio to strengthen their body, maybe to help heal an injury or even to learn more about the tradition of yoga, but they stay to be part of the community. The profoundly special part of Yogalife isn’t the heat, mood-lit room and beautifully designed furnishings, its the people who roll out their mat.

I feel truly grateful for being part of this family.

Peace

Restorative Yoga Training

1 November 2022

Hello November

While it’s a little warmer than we would normally expect at this time of year, the Autumn is in full swing. Leaves are falling, pumpkins are everywhere and the cold darker nights make a hot yoga studio even more inviting.

The yoga practice teaches us that each season has an energetic direction and quality that can be clearly seen throughout nature. Theres a system of yoga that encourages us to balance our lifestyle and behaviours to align with the the energies in season, and in doing so we feel more connected to our lives on a day-to-day basis.

The Autumn is filled with change and movement and in our culture it seems as though everyone is racing towards the year end trying desperately to hold things together and finish off those last few important tasks. This can take its toll on our wellbeing so it’s important to remember it is our responsibility to manage our physical and mental health to avoid burn-out, anxiety and stress related illnesses.

Looking after yourself isn’t a luxury, its a necessity.

Before you take the appropriate actions to create greater balance, you must first become aware of what you need. Stress is complex and its causes are diverse, however Dr Andrew Huberman says that we can categorise stresses into 2 streams. He says “one type of stress is when you’re too activated, alert, and agitated. This is what we usually experience when we’re in physical pain or emotionally bothered. Then, there’s another side of stress, wherein you’re feeling another shutdown or when you’re feeling exhausted and you can’t get mobilized and alert enough. This is the stress that gives us the feeling of fatigue.” 

Both categories of stress are managed in different ways so it’s important to know what you are feeling. One stress management technique comes directly from the yoga practice, we call it pranayama, the rest of the world calls it breathing exercises. By changing the way you breathe you can learn to control your heart rate, your nervous system response and therefore your mind.

Heres a simple tool for you to explore.

When you inhale more vigorously or longer, you’re speeding up your heart rate. When you exhale, the diaphragm moves up, signalling the brain to tell the heart that it needs to slow. This knowledge is not enough – you must practice the techniques to build a stronger relationship with the stress signals and your response to them. Then at will, you can shift your state of being.

Another great tip is to try a different style of yoga. If you are feeling hyped up, then try a Restorative Flow or Yin class. If you feel low on energy or have been picking up the seasonal coughs and bugs then trying something more physically challenging such as a Vinyasa Flow, Power or HIIT yoga is a must!

You know a change is going to be good for you, but your monkey mind plays its tricks and tells you that you won’t like it or that you can’t do it. So, lets get that money put back in its place! Our team are basically super humans trained in mind-zoology. They will make you feel at ease, support you, challenge you, motivate you and most importantly help you recognise that you CAN do anything at Yogalife. If you are feeling nervous about a class or sitting on the fence about booking – then drop me an email (stuart@yogalifeuk.com) and I’ll give you a pep talk or even better I’ll get on the mat with you because this month I’m making big shifts in my yoga too. I practice daily but its always on my own in a kind of indulgent “I have the keys to a yoga studio” kind of way. I know I’m missing out on that Yogalife vibe and being on the mat next to you all instead of at the front. So, I’ll be more than happy to  be your yoga buddy this November – just holla!

Here’s my recommendations for November classes:

How to enjoy International Yoga Day – 4 tips from around the globe

“International Yoga Day, it’s finally here!” you say aloud, grinning ear to ear. You cross off the 21st of June in a bright red marker on your calendar and bound out the kitchen door to start your day.   

As a yoga lover you can’t wait to spend the day celebrating with your friends, getting a sweat on over at the studio or performing some Sun Salutations in the local park (Hey, it’s also the summer solstice too don’t forget). 

You are alway amazed by how much International Yoga Day grows every year. It’s an opportunity to make new friends, catch up with old ones and spread the joys and benefits of yoga to people everywhere. 

The day is a true international celebration. With yoga classes, meetups and sessions happening globally and on a massive scale. Everyone enjoys the day a little differently and in this article we’ll be looking at how a few different cultures we’ve experienced at Yogalife spend this special day.     

Why is there an International Yoga Day?

As the name suggests International Yoga Day is a global celebration of yoga that happens on the 21st of June. This date was chosen as it’s the summer solstice and the longest day of the year in most parts of the world. 

The date was proposed by The United Nations General Assembly in 2014 and the first International Yoga Day happened the following year. It was decided there should be an international day for yoga to promote the positive impact it has on people’s physical and mental health.  

The word yoga is derived from an ancient language called Sanskrit. In Sanskrit it is pronounced “Yuja” and the word means the uniting or unification of body and consciousness. 

Translated into the modern age, the mental and physical benefits of yoga are beyond doubt and the more people that are exposed to this amazing activity the better.  

How should you celebrate?

Everyone will have their own unique way of celebrating International Yoga Day. Some people will head over to their nearest studio for a morning session or read up on the philosophy of yoga. 

Many people like to use it as an opportunity to introduce friends and family to yoga. They’ll spend an afternoon sharing their experience and stories from their time doing yoga (along with a few beginner poses) in the hopes they can spread that joy to other people. 

At Yogalife we’ve been fortunate enough to run yoga retreats all over the world and during our travels we’ve seen how other cultures like to spend their International Yoga Day, how they celebrate it and what they like to do. 

France – Skiing and Yoga

Our retreat in France was our first ever winter yoga retreat or “snowga” as we like to call it. When people think of yoga they tend to associate it with hot sunny beaches or tropical retreats.

We’ve actually found yoga has a lot in common with winter sports too. Both require dedication and passion, both teach you to be in tune with your body and both bring you closer to nature. 

It’s no surprise then that keen yogi’s in the Alps like to spend their International Yoga Day enjoying a spot of Ashtangi on the mountain side in between runs. Combining skiing and yoga is a great way to take yoga to an unusual location and expose a new audience to yoga who might not have seen it before.  

Spain – siestas and yoga 

It’s a commonly known fact that it’s hot in Spain. Take our word for it, we run three retreats there (Barcelona, Majorca and Gran Canaria). And whilst it’s great to do some al fresco hot yoga sessions, the heat can get a bit extreme from time to time. 

Spanish yogis are likely celebrating International Yoga Day with some early evening or late night yoga after their afternoon siesta to avoid the heat. Feeling fully recharged and ready to take on the evening is a great mental state to be in when doing yoga. You’re also more likely to get first time yogis up and having a go when it isn’t 35 degrees outside!

Greece – Yoga by the Aegean

Yoga is all about centering yourself and getting back to nature. Whether that’s in a desert, up a mountain, or in the case of Greece, listening to the crashing waves and ocean swell of the Aegean whilst doing yoga next to the sea. 

Greece and the sea go hand in hand, our Greek retreat in Corfu isn’t far from the sea (nowhere in Greece is really) and you can be sure that Greek yogi’s will be grabbing there mats and heading to the cliffs and beaches on International Yoga Day to feel the sea breeze on their face and enjoy a session of yoga next to the ocean.

India – Yoga with a vegan meal

For many people yoga is more than just an exercise. It goes beyond an activity you do to keep fit and limber and becomes a way you live your life. Yoga originated in India and encompasses more than just physical exercise. Most Indian yogis will be eating a strict plant based diet and they’ll be celebrating International Yoga Day with a yoga session and a vegan meal. 

If you’re not a vegan but would be interested in trying it for a day, International Yoga Day is a great opportunity to combine both and celebrate yoga wherever you are.  

How will you celebrate? 

However you decide to celebrate International Yoga Day we hope you have fun and enjoy it with friends and family. Find out more about our yoga retreats over on our yoga retreats webpage and book a class for International Yoga Day with us here: Book a class.

Get more from your all inclusive – 4 ways a yoga break will leave you truly recharged

The hum of traffic surrounds you. The heat of the city is inescapable and you’re struggling to read your map because of the glare of the sun.

“I’ve got three more sites to see today” you think as you head off to the Colosseum.

“Then I can have a break and relax with a pizza and a beer” that’s odd, you think.

You came away on holiday to relax but instead you’re all stressed out and looking forward to the end of the day. You might as well be back at work.

“This isn’t a very relaxing holiday” you say aloud, maybe you should have gone on that yoga break instead.

A calm retreat of like-minded individuals all wanting to truly switch off from the world and recharge. No barrelling around Rome or Paris, but a secluded yoga holiday in the hills. Now that sounds relaxing.

Yoga breaks can be truly life changing experiences and they don’t cost an arm or a leg either. If you’re looking for something different to your standard all inclusive you should consider a yoga holiday with friends or your partner.

If you’re still unconvinced about the benefits of a yoga break we’ve listed the 4 ways a yoga holiday will leave you truly recharged below.

You don’t need to worry about trips to the supermarket

There’s no denying that sometimes it’s nice to go self catered on a holiday. You can pop to the shops like a local, cook up a storm in your self-catered rental and really feel like a local.

Whilst this is fun if you’re in the mood to go hunting for food it can also be a really stressful experience. If you want your holiday to be a relaxing experience and stress free adventure then a yoga holiday might be a better fit for you.

Yogalife retreats are all inclusive. That means all your catering needs are looked after. You don’t have to think about cooking at the end of the day (After all the yoga you’ll be doing, why would you want to cook). You can focus on resting, recharging, and working on your yoga game.

You’ll detoxify and glow from the inside out

A yoga retreat isn’t a party holiday, far from it. It’s a chance to give yourself and your body a break from alcohol and focus on eating balanced, healthy, plant-based meals.

A week or two in Ibiza might be fun but you’ll probably leave more frazzled than when you arrived. Yoga breaks have the opposite effect on their guests. Allowing your body a chance to detox, repair, and heal will have you leaving your yoga retreat a glowing beacon of calm.

You’re with a collective of like-minded yoga lovers

Hectic crowds, boozy parties, chanting. All can be par for the course on a normal beach holiday. Even a sophisticated city break could see you harassed by pushy market sellers, congested traffic, and frantic crowds.

For a truly recharging holiday it’s best to get out of the cities and tourist resorts and to a yoga retreat you can enjoy with other like minded individuals. That way you can rest easy in the knowledge that you’re surrounded by friends and peers all working towards the same goal. A relaxing, transformative holiday.

You’ll get to experience some truly unspoilt beauty spots

You can’t have a yoga break in the middle of a packed city or on a beach full of tourists. Yoga holiday’s need calm. You want to be in a secluded, serene location where you can focus on yourself and yoga.

This means yoga retreats are often located off the beaten track, far away from tourist hotspots and in the parts of countries most foreigners won’t visit. This means you can see some real unspoilt natural beauty and relax in a calming location truly undisturbed.

Where will your next yoga holiday be?

Yogalife runs yoga breaks all over the globe from Barcelona to India. If you’re interested in finding out more about our retreats you can check them out here.

As things start to open up again our trips away will become more and more likely so keep checking back with us for the latest information. If you need to get your yoga fix right now you can attend one of our studios in Cheshire. Book here.

Post-lockdown dread – 5 ways to use yoga to calm anxiety

The world is getting back to normal (Hurray). Masks are becoming a thing of the past. The previous 18 months have had their ups and downs. They’ve been challenging for everyone, but have also given people lots of time to reflect, recharge, and learn new skills.

Our world’s have shrunk and things have become a lot more cosy. We’ve been wrapped up in our own bubbles and time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life has, for many, been a truly relaxing experience.

So, it’s only natural to feel some apprehension when we hear about things opening up. You haven’t been in a crowd of more than 6 people in a year. How will you manage 100?

For many of us this adjustment won’t be too awkward but for others this could bring about a real sense of anxiety. As the world rushes to reopen again we could long for our lazy days in the garden.

Being anxious about the end of lockdown is normal and there are many ways to cope with the creeping unease. One way you can overcome this dread and enjoy a drink with your friends is by using yoga to calm anxiety.

Can you spot anxiety? How can yoga help?

We will all feel anxious sometimes. It’s an evolutionary trait that’s been built into us from the dawn of time. As humans there are times in our life where it’s perfectly normal to feel a bit anxious.

Job interviews, a wedding day, going to the dentist. Being anxious at times like this is just your body telling you to be on high alert. It’s doing its job.

Anxiety can range from anything from butterflies in your tummy to a nervy, excitable energy and cold sweats. Although this can be unpleasant, more often than not it’s endurable.

When anxiety spirals out of control however it can become a really limiting force in your life. People who have suffered anxiety attacks have described persistent feelings of dread, flurries of panic, feelings or urgent fear, and their fight or flight response kicking in.

Not nice symptoms.

The idea of going out to a crowded market place, or to a busy restaurant could trigger feeling like this in you. But using yoga to calm anxiety is a great way to snap out of this fear spiral and tell your body everything’s fine, you’re not in danger.

Yoga can help to calm your anxiety in these situations because it doesn’t force you to rationalise your way out of fear.

When you use yoga to calm anxiety what you’re actually doing is taking the lessons you’ve learned from yoga to recognise which of your thoughts, feelings, or actions are making you feel anxious. Once you’ve identified these things you can implement self-soothing, anxiety coping habits into your schedule that’ll allow you to get on with your life.

5 way to use yoga to help calm anxiety

There are many ways you can use yoga to calm anxiety. Some methods can be done on the move whereas others should be done before you go out or when you return home. Below are 5 ways you can use yoga to help calm your post-lockdown anxiety.

Do some deep belly breaths

We’ll start this list with a very practical tip. Deep belly breaths can be done anywhere. Even at work, although it does require you to lie down so maybe find a side room in the office so you’re not stretching out in front of co-workers.

The effects of conscious deep breathing are really beneficial. It directly calms the nervous system and helps you achieve a relaxed, soothed state.

To do deep belly breathing properly you need to lie on your back. Find a support for your legs or back if you’d like more comfort. From there you can place your hands above your navel and slowly, and deliberately begin breathing in and out. Be conscious of your breathing and enjoy the relaxing effects.

Interrupt your panic

A hectic day around town can lead to a heightened sense of panic. Conversely, getting ready to meet friends at the start of the day can also send you into an anxiety spiral.

These can be tough to get out of, especially when you have nothing to break the cycle of your own thoughts. Being stuck in your own head is the worst place to be but in this situation you can use yoga to calm anxiety. How?

When you step on to a yoga mat you have an opportunity to step out of thinking mode. Yoga is the conscious practice of letting go of your worries. It is, in effect, a way to break the current worry cycle you’re in, become relaxed, and move on with your day.

If a tough day at the office or plans with friends are making you feel anxious a quick 15-minute at home yoga session could break that cycle and let you get on with your day.

Decompress after a tough day

Stress and anxiety can make you feel physically compressed. Worrying too much can bring about physical symptoms such as tension and fatigue. Knotted shoulders, necks and back are some of the classic indicators of anxiety and you’re literally carrying that around with you.

Yoga can help remove this physical tension with some good old exercise. Yoga is not only great for removing mental stress but physical tension too. This combination of de-stressing the body and mind and releasing the grip anxiety has on us.

Have a gratitude journal, write in it often

Lot’s of yoga practicers keep gratitude journals. They’re a great way of putting your thoughts on paper and keeping them out of your head. When we’re anxious it is easy to focus on the negatives and forget about all the great things happening in our lives.

By writing down three things a day you’re grateful for you can turn your worries into positive thoughts.

Have a guided meditation podcast on standby

Meditation and yoga go hand in hand. Often you’ll find that people practice both. Meditation helps us to slow down, reduce stress, and connect with our inner self.

If you’re just starting out with meditation or you’ve had a particularly hectic day getting into the right mindset for meditation can be tough. So having a guided meditation podcast or playlist on standby is a great way to switch off, recharge, and reduce anxiety.

Ready to get back out there?

The world opening back up is exciting but a bit daunting. We’d suggest you take all the time you need to readjust to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’re a little apprehensive about in-person meetups you can book online yoga classes with us. For those ready to enjoy a class at one of our studios you can find all the information you need on our studios pages.

How yoga can benefit your mental health

Yoga is not only a great workout for the body – it also has amazing benefits for the mind. Here are five ways practicing yoga can improve your mental health.

• Dissipate Anger

Consistent yoga practice has been shown to increase your ability to control and let go of anger in a more healthy way. Practicing yoga has also been shown to decrease verbal aggression in adults.

• Relieve Anxiety

Various studies have found that yoga can help decrease anxiety symptoms, in a range of settings and can also reduce stress levels. It works by regulating your stress response system, reducing your heart rate and even your blood pressure – all things that anti-anxiety medication helps to do. Yoga practice is a great way to clear your mind of thoughts so you can focus on the present, making sure you don’t get stuck in negative thought fixation; bringing balance and peace back into your hectic life.

• Improve Sleep

Consistent yoga practice can help you sleep better and for longer, and can even help to manage symptoms of insomnia. Those who make yoga a part of their routine find they fall asleep quicker, sleep for longer, and go back to sleep more easily after waking up at night. 

• Boost Mood

Studies have shown yoga can help reduce depression and help stabilise your mood. Yoga helps to boost your GABA levels, a neurotransmitter in your brain that’s responsible for the way you feel. Low levels of GABA are associated with feelings of depression so by increasing your levels you can make positive steps to increase your mood.

• Improve Concentration

Research has shown that yoga can boost concentration and memory skills because you have to focus during your practice. To get the most out of your yoga practice you really have to turn inward and listen to your body and that inner voice. It’s this concentration that your brain becomes accustomed to and you can use it outside of your yoga practices.

Could a Yoga Retreat Change Your Life?

Have you been considering booking a yoga retreat? A yoga holiday may just be the things to help you unwind, destress and refocus after this chaotic and stressful year we’ve all had. Yoga retreats are more than just a holiday. We truly believe that they can change your life. Here’s three reasons why.

1. You can learn to love yourself

Yoga retreats are the best place to rediscover yourself. Our everyday lives leave us caught up in so many things, from friendships and social commitments to family life and work. And because we get so caught up in all these things, we don’t really get the time and energy to focus on ourselves. But yoga retreats are all about you. Whilst you’re here you focus on only yourself and you can really learn to love yourself both inside and out. Yoga holidays help you to truly know yourself better, inspire you, and make you a happier person. It’s this shift in mindset that you bring back home with you and hopefully informs your everyday life. Having a clearer state of mind and a more mindful and balanced sense of self can be invaluable.

2. You can learn to let go of the past

Many people seek out yoga retreats to heal pain caused by a past experience. Even those of us who aren’t dealing with a specific bad situation can find ourselves stuck in the past; bringing negativity and heavy baggage with us that we carry around every single day. But this makes the present so much harder to enjoy. Yoga retreats help you let go of your past; allowing you to live a more carefree and forgiving life with a brand new perspective.

3. You can learn to embrace fear

As we get older, we often run away from our fears. Confronting them often doesn’t seem like an option but a yoga retreat serves as a safe space to embrace your fear, harness the energy behind that fear and remove it from your life. Understanding the fear is the first step and through introspection plus learning to let go of the past, you can take hold of the fear, embrace it and get out from under its control.

If you’re thinking that a yoga retreat sounds like just the type of holiday you need, we have a range of yoga retreats available to book. Taking place all across the world, including Europe and India, our yoga holidays are one of our favourite parts about YogaLife.

At Yogalife we are focused on supporting you, which is why we can confidently offer you a safe and worry-free yoga holiday, with booking flexibility and Covid measures in place. Contact us to find out more about any of our retreats.
