A community practice: Wednesday 7:00pm - 7:30pm

No experience needed and you don’t need to bring anything with you.

Just show up, sit in comfort, be guided into silence and gentle breathing.

A place where no questions are asked and no expectations are placed upon you.

Come as you are, all are welcome…

A community collaboration: Lisa Berry Yoga and Barista Bus

CLIMBING THE STEPS OF BREATH

This is Viloma Krama. Krama translates as ‘Steps’ and Viloma translates as ‘against the grain. In this guided practice your focus will be on your inhalations.

Have you experienced a bad reaction to a face serum or cream?

This is my experience of a bad reaction to a serum. One that I didn’t know was a strong exfoliant. As much as I can, I look after my skin the Ayurveda way. This means applying to my skin on the outside, what I would take inside. For example cold pressed avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil. All organic and cold pressed. Make-up is quite a minefield but I’m learning to navigate this. Jones Road Beauty is a good choice, Bare Minerals is not too bad. I’m constantly researching, learning and sharing.

My reaction to a ‘clean’ skincare range resulted in (mild ‘ish’) second degree burns.

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on Jill McGregor’s Lady Time podcast. Jill and I chatted about my early Menopause at the age of 41, how I managed to reverse my deteriorating bone density. We also discussed the environment, the medicinal power of nature.

I see my practice as a seed that started small and tight out of necessity. One that continues to be nurtured and nourished with learning and experience. It is my hope that the teachings I share offer little seeds that get scattered in the studios and online. Like the birds that drop the seeds as they take flight, ready to propagate somewhere else, in someone else.

“Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathise with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.” ~ Maya Angelou
