Have you been thinking about taking up the art of yoga? If so, you are not alone. It is currently estimated that there are incredible 300 million yoga practitioners around the world. Due to the numerous benefits associated with this lifestyle, these numbers will undoubtedly increase well into the future. I really miss my in-person yoga and pilates classes at the moment, online is not the same!
Last weekend the lovely Jess from Jess Who put on another one of her amazing Bumble events. This time it was a wellness workshop for International Women’s Day at at1.space, a relatively new yoga studio in Lenton – Notts. We had 75 minutes of warm yoga and meditation with Mumtaz, a senior instructor at at1.space which was just so energising and relaxing. Followed by some delicious avocado toast from the vegan cafe on site, this was the perfect Saturday!
FUN, FREE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ON OFFER TO THOUSANDS OF NOTTINGHAM RESIDENTS WITH THE RETURN OF PARKLIVES
I’m partnering with Coca-ColaGreat Britain on this post and their awesome ParkLives initiative. For a third year, more than 25 parks across Nottingham will be hosting hundreds of free activity sessions to get us fit for summer. From Pilates to Nordic Walking and even paddle board (SUP) Yoga there is literally something for everyone of every ability – even buggy fitness for all those mamas out there.
The importance of exercise when working in an office is huge. Sitting down all day can be really bad for you! If I don’t leave work at lunchtime for a stroll around town or to run some errands then I literally can clock up less than 4000 steps a day which I only get in because we walk to and from the carpark which is about 25-30 minutes walking a day in total. This is shocking!
You’ve probably seen me tweeting all about Hot Pod Yoga for weeks, right? I’ve been trying to get everyone to go to the new pod that’s opened up in Nottingham city centre because I’m a total convert.
One of my fave blogger gals Becca is a huge fan and I would always see her ‘gramming about how amazing it is. Another amazing lady from work also goes and we had a trial through her as well so I’ve been going for about a month now on the various awesome launch membership offers that Sarah at the pod has been offering. And then, luckily the lovely Molly from Rose Beauty Files set up a blogger trial afternoon with them at the pod so I jumped at the chance for another go.
Despite being completely locked into a digital society where faceless interaction means more than nourishing personal mental health, spiritual and traditional practices are becoming more ingrained in our daily lives, they’re actually getting pretty trendy again. We’ve come to the end of our tether when it comes to the emotional black holes that a digital world is having. Because of this, we are seeing a rise in popularity of wellness and mindfulness techniques. In a nutshell – Yoga is back with a vengeance.
