  • Ep 42 15 mins Lake Meditation

    30/07/2014 Duración: 14min

    Hello All, You'll notice I have cut the chat from the beginning of this podcast so you can go straight into your meditation. This makes this a good practice for your commute or if you would like to practice this meditation regularly.  The Lake Meditation is taken from Jon Kabat Zin's "Wherever you go, there you are", a stroke of genius of a book and a good place to start or deepen your mindfulness practice. This meditation, as well as instilling peace and calm, might also help you do cool down during these hot days! Thanks for all your feedback on these podcasts, if you'd like to get in touch with me you can email me on communityyogabristol@gmail.com. If you would like to do a class or a retreat with me you can check out my site at www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk

  • Ep 39: 75 mins Yoga and Mindfulness Class: Gratitude

    11/06/2014 Duración: 01h15min

    Hi thanks for listening. This is a Yoga and Mindfulness class where we concentrate on cultivating gratitude as a foundation for manifesting our desires. When we are grateful for what we have, we are content and when we are content our minds are not full of self-limiting stories that hold us back from creating what we truly desire. Try it, it works.  The class comprises an opening talk for a few minutes about gratitude and Santosha (contentment), and how it relates to yoga practice. We then go on to do a short meditation and a reasonably dynamic asana practice, so be prepared to move and stretch. There's plenty of room during the practice for checking in with yourself and centring. We close with a Yoga Nidra practice where we lay down gratitude as the foundation for making affirmations. Yoga Nidra is a powerful forum to practice affirmations (Sankalpas) as you are going deep down towards your subconscious where all your actions begin, and changing the patterns down there.  Take ten minutes after the class befo

  • Ep 38: 25 mins Yoga Nidra with chakra visualisation and bansuri flute

    10/06/2014 Duración: 23min

    Hello all,  Thanks for listening. This is another yoga nidra practice, I recorded it at the Penny Brohn Cancer Care Centre in Bristol with my lovely PB ladies who love yoga.  With this one there is a visualisation so you may go quite deep. Yoga Nidra is more than a relaxation  - you are going deep into your consciousness and contacting the subconscious at its deepest level, so after practicing make sure you don't have to drive a car or do anything that requires alertness. It can take some time to come back!  Get in touch with me- communityyogabristol@gmail.com or visit the Yoga Community Podcast Facebook page where I post bits and pieces to support this show. If you'd like to know more about what I get up to in Bristol, or how to download the Sleep Well Be Well yoga class app, you can visit www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk.  Thanking you! Morven  

  • Ep 37 20 min Yoga Nidra with Bansuri Flute

    08/05/2014 Duración: 21min

    Hello, Namaste! Here is a deep relaxation for you that I recorded at Penny Brohn Cancer Care in Bristol. Yoga Nidra is not just relaxation though, it's a journey into your consciousness - don't be surprised if you go into a waking dream state, this is very common and you may drift in and out of consciousness without being aware of having slept. There are some yoga nidras I have been doing for years and I am still discovering new bits I had previously slept through without realising! Please be warm and comfortable, lying on the back is best although I have been known to do a yoga nidra whilst airborne or on the train/ bus. Pleeease don't listen whilst driving and please wait for 10 - 20 mins afterwards before attempting to use any machinery.   Please contact me with any feedback. My name is Morven and you can email me at communityyogabristol@gmail.com. Visit the website to find out more about classes, workshops and retreats that I am teaching: www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk. Muchas gracias, Morven

  • Ep 33 70 min Hatha Flow Yoga Class

    24/03/2014 Duración: 01h08min

    Dear all, thanks for listening.  The following is a good, all-round flow yoga practice - it'll be easier to follow for those with some prior experience of yoga so I suggest going to some classes with a teacher before trying this at home. I have a bit of a cold in this one so please bear with the funny voice and the occasional cough! You don't need anything fancy, just your beautiful self and your mat will do. Blankets and eye pillows are always good for relaxation.  If you'd like to spend longer doing yoga with me then come along to our May retreat 2md - 5th May with Yoga by Nature, or come to Andalucia, Spain for a week 10th - 17th May.

  • Ep 32 75 mins Yoga and Mindfulness Class

    06/03/2014 Duración: 01h17min

    This one is recording of a class at The Southville Centre in Bristol where I teach a Yoga and Mindfulness course. The class weaves concepts from Mindfulness, and Mindfuless practices into Hatha yoga. We begin with a short explanation of the theme, then go on to a short sitting meditation followed by mindfully practiced postures and a closing meditation. Students are invited to take a simple practice home with them to think about for the week.  Please note: Yoga and Mindfulness are not separate things! They are the same, it's just the language around it and the way into it that looks a little different. The purpose of using Mindfulness techniques for Hatha Yoga is to make the broad context of yoga more accessible.  There's a Facebook Group for Yoga Community Podcast - click here to join it. If you'd like any info about retreats in Spain, UK or Egypt then go to my website www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk. Please contact me with any questions or comments, my email is communityyogabristol@gmail.com.  Love to you, M

  • Ep 30 90 min Heart Opening Hatha Level 1

    Hello, welcome and thanks for listening.  This class is one that I recorded at Bristol City Yoga at the Hatha Beginner's class on Thursday evening. For the final pose, you will need 2 blocks and a bolster or a rolled blanket. If you don't have any blocks then you can use cushions instead, in fact they'll be more comfortable! You'll also need some wall space for the standing poses.  We focus on opening up the chest and shoulder area, and it's a fairly dynamic class with plenty of standing poses to strengthen the legs and build flexibility and stability in the hips. Some poses that we do include side-angle pose, side plank, warriors 2 and 3 and locust pose -and lots more  For information about yoga classes in Bristol or retreats in SW England, The Lakes, Spain or Egypt then click here.

  • Ep 29 Hatha Flow 75 min practice

    03/12/2013

    Hello and welcome! This is a Hatha Flow practice - a bit of a departure from the usual classes that I publish. It was recorded at the Monday night Arnos Vale Spielman Centre class in Bristol. It's suitable for Level 1 practitioners but it's a little more dynamic than the usual gentle yoga classes in this series. We flow through poses using the basic Sun Salutation as a basis for the practice.  There's no audio introduction as I am in between recording devices at the moment and my attempts to convert files of recordings on my phone ended in nada. So you may be pleased to hear that you don't have to listen to me nattering at the beginning and you can go straight into the class! Spaces on the January 4th Urban Retreat are filling up, so if you are nearabouts Bristol and you fancy a day of yoga to get you reenergised and lithe for the new year then come along. It's at Wildgoose Space and you can read more about it here.  If you fancy an even bigger boost into 2014 then come to Dahab, Egypt for a week of yoga, sun

  • Ep 28 Yoga Nidra with Ocean Visualisation

    26/11/2013 Duración: 31min

    Welcome to this podcast.  I am publishing this one without an audio introduction because, alas my beloved Zoom Handy Recorder has shuffled off to a better place in between recording the class and recording the intro.  This one was recorded at Bristol City Yoga where I teach a Friday evening restorative class from 6.45 - 7.45pm. If you are local then please drop in to the class any time. We don't do Yoga Nidra every week but we do plenty of nourishing, relaxing, supportive yoga with breathing and long relaxations. This is the class for you if you are feeling run down after a long week, or if you are recovering from an injury and you are taking time out from your regular Hatha yoga class.  If you enjoy Yoga Nidra then we'll be doing some together as a group at the January Urban Retreat in Bristol at Wildgoose Space. It's on the 4th January and it's a day of yoga designed to get you cleansed, reenergised and ready for 2014 - a great way to shift the post-festive sluggishness before going back to work. For more d

    Hello and welcome to this yoga class.  This one is a fairly restorative class for you.

  • Ep. 23 Yoga for Autumn Sniffles

    18/09/2013 Duración: 01h01min

    Dear All, It's been a while since I got in touch with a new class for you. Summer activities took me out of podcastland but I'm back again with new inspiration and looking forward to offering more recordings of classes over the next weeks.  This practice is a special one-off episode for chasing away Autumn illness. Many of us have already succumbed to the sniffles as the temperature has dropped and our bodies are busy readjusting. The practice includes breathwork, shoulder releases, backbends, twists and slow flow postures especially chosen to help to clear congestion, build the immune system and create space through the chest.  If you are in the throes of a bad cold and your energy is very low, then please close this and choose a restorative practice, a yoga nidra or a meditation instead. This class is reasonably dynamic and will shift a lot of energy in the body, so it's fine for prevention, onset and end of illness.  Have some tissues handy for the breathing practices! You will also need a bolster, a yoga
