Supporting Local Schools: Donate Your Spare Yoga Equipment
 

At CAMYOGA, we believe in the transformative power of yoga and its positive impact on individuals of all ages. Last week, we had the privilege of connecting with a member of our community who shared a wonderful initiative with us. A local secondary school expressed a keen interest in introducing yoga classes for their students, recognising the numerous physical and mental benefits that yoga offers.

In response to this heartfelt request, we took action. On a sunny Sunday, our team member, Ana, gathered some of our spare yoga mats and props to make this initiative a reality. Ana's warm-hearted gesture not only delivered yoga equipment but also carried the spirit of mindfulness, well-being, and community to the young minds at the local school.

How You Can Contribute to Our Cause:

If you have any used yoga equipment lying around—perhaps a yoga mat that's seen many sessions or props that have supported your practice throughout the years—consider giving them a new purpose. Your pre-loved yoga items, regardless of their condition, can make a significant difference.

By donating your spare yoga equipment to CAMYOGA, you become an integral part of our mission to spread the practice of yoga and mindfulness throughout our community. Your generosity will allow us to facilitate more requests from local schools and organisations, creating opportunities for individuals to experience the many benefits of yoga.

How to Donate:

  1. Gather Your Equipment: Collect any spare yoga mats, props, or accessories that you no longer use.

  2. Contact Us: Reach out to our team at info@camyoga.co.uk to coordinate your donation.

  3. Drop-Off or Pick-Up: We'll work with you to arrange a convenient drop-off or pick-up location and time.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can have a profound impact on the lives of young students and individuals in our community. Together, we can inspire the practice of yoga and mindfulness, fostering a sense of well-being and connection among all.

What is Barre?
 

Amy Holly has been bringing her out-of-this-world, positive energy to our studio for many years now, but what is Barre? Here it is in a nutshell:

  • Barre was developed by dancers to keep mobile and strong when returning from an injury

  • It’s a muscle endurance class with elements of all the good things: Ballet, Pilates, strength training, Yoga, and cardio

  • During class expect to be using both full-range and small-muscle groups

  • Every class you attend will build your alignment, improve your posture, and strengthen your core while toning and elongating muscles

  • Barre is inspired by Ballet - but don’t let that put you off - you do NOT need to be a dancer to come to class

When you come to class, you can expect loud music, soulful dance, energetic release, and of course, laughter and SWEAT!

Although we, as a studio specialise in Yoga, we also have a range of specially chosen fitness-style classes which are designed to complement your Yoga practice. Our teachers are non-judgemental, community-focused, and overflowing with positive energy.

We hope to see you in one of Amy’s classes soon! Give it a try, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

Barre at CAMYOGA:

Tuesdays 10am - Barre Open with Amy
Sundays 10am - Barre Intermediate with Amy

Life changing benefits of Yoga
 

*Life-changing Yoga Benefits*

There are several benefits of practicing yoga that falls on the physical and mental side - and they will surely keep revealing themselves to you every time you step on the mat!

Although, there are so many other perks that we don't mention as much as they "just happen" and we don't always have the opportunity to catch them

Some examples:

  • The sense of purpose when you book a class

  • The joy when walking into the reception to sign in

  • The smiles shared with others when seated on the mat waiting for the class

  • Others’ grunts after a more physically challenging asana that reminds you (I'm not the only one struggling with this one!)

  • Listening to one-anothers breath

The list goes on... but one of CAMYOGA'S favourites is the Community aspect!

Here's a capture of one of those moments - just after Gez’ (the magician - as a student named him) class our the students have a very much-deserved cup of coffee (the class starts at 8 am!) and chat just before they go and face the day.

What benefits would like to share? Let us know :)

Make Time for You! Anne's Story
 

Make Time for YOU

Here's Anne, one of our lovely students just after doing our brand new Flow & Restore class with Rachael Moore on a Thursday morning.

She has been with CAMYOGA since February 2015 when she started with our "old" 10 class pass (aka 100 credits nowadays) and hasn't stopped since then.

Anne is currently a member using her unlimited membership to fully take advantage of the new and not-so-new classes in-studio and as she said:

"Fantastic to be back at Camyoga Central studios. The class today with the amazing Rachael Moore was wonderful. Rachael has unique sequencing. There are other great classes at Camyoga, all now in the studio or online. I love Ashtanga with Emma and Jivamukti with the great Camyoga teachers, Andrea, Vicky, and Hakan. Jasmine's class is fantastic too for her careful choreography and essential oils. thank you CAMYOGA. You kept me going with the virtual classes throughout the pandemic and now it’s wonderful to be back in the studio "

Do Make time for YOU and join our vibrant community!

Thank YOU, Anne!!!!
(We LOVE the jumper too)

Take it to the next level! Join our teacher training!

Have you been thinking about taking your practice to the next level and becoming a yoga teacher? You will be pleased to know that our Yoga teacher training and Foundation courses still have a couple of places left.
 
Louise Lloyd, whom we are sure we don't have to introduce, is excited to meet you and your fellow yogis during training sessions:
 
"I am really looking forward to starting this year's TT and FC - always fun to see inspired students working and learning together. It is so great to watch the FC students delve deeper into their yogic experience and also seeing the next generation of teachers evolving throughout the TT course."
 
Those hesitant because they feel they are not quite "there" yet may be relieved to know that Yoga training, like yoga is about more than just flexibility and strength.
 
We caught Berverley Nolan in the cafe during her two day Pregnancy Yoga teacher training course, who made it clear that its not all about those very impressive poses you see in magazines:
 
"it is not about your ability to do crazy asana, but about your commitment to your practice and being part of a supportive student group. It is an holistic learning experience which prepares you to guide others."
 
So do you have the passion to take it to the next level and share the experience and joy of yoga with the world?
 
Talk to us about signing up !
 
See you soon
