FoYD classes are off and running this season. I've met many new faces over the past month and I feel truly honoured to have the opportunity share the practice with so many new yogis.
This
week and next (30 Oct & 6 Nov) I've added a Wednesday evening class. If the Wednesday
evening class is well attended then I will add it to the permanent
schedule so be sure to come along if this suits your schedule. (pre-booking encouraged fieldsofyoga@gmail.com)
Tonight's (Mon 28/10) class
in the garden will focus on core strengthening and hip openers. Please
come and join us for this rejuvenating practice! Class begins at 7pm and
the rate is 50aed per person. Email me for a location map.
This week's (lacto-ovo) vegetarian recipe:

This delicious roasted pear salad recipe
is great for sharing with friends. The combination of sweet and savory
flavours really satisfies those end-of-the-day food cravings. Make a
double batch and share with a friend; the salad will taste even better!
Inversion Tutorial
In classes over the past few weeks we've been trying different inversions (crow, tripod headstand and traditional headstand). I found this nice short tutorial on YouTube for tripod headstand. A couple bits of important information before you try this fun posture:
In classes over the past few weeks we've been trying different inversions (crow, tripod headstand and traditional headstand). I found this nice short tutorial on YouTube for tripod headstand. A couple bits of important information before you try this fun posture:
a) always do a bit of a warm up before attempting the posture.
b) I suggest doing this on a double mat with a few blankets behind you, just in case you fall out of it.
c)
Remember to engage all the muscles in your core body in order to
support the weight of your entire body and be sure to continue to press
through the hands, keeping the arms at a 90 degree angle.
d) If you suffer from high blood pressure or glaucoma, it is best to skip this inversion. Perhaps try bridge instead!

For a more detailed written tutorial, check out Kathryn Budig's Yoga Journal article. Have fun with it and if you begin to fall out of the posture, remember to tuck your chin and roll...and smile!

In
less than 2 weeks another batch of yoga bolsters will be ready for

in advance. These are made locally (smaller carbon footprint!) and are
filled with thick, heavy cotton. The removable and washable cover is
made of durable cotton canvas that wipes clean easily and can be used
indoors or out. These bolsters are only 175aed per piece. Contact me at fieldsofyoga@gmail.com if you would like to order your yoga bolster.
I hope to see you on your mats and sharing the practice with me soon.
