Please sponsor Mandy’s February’s Daily Yoga Challenge in aid of Cancer Research
Please read Mandy’s words below and click on the link to sponsor her!
“I have been doing yoga with Lucy in Kenilworth from the get-go – I am committed to the benefits practice brings me. I have been on both retreats and love the well woman events – the community inspires me, I even sign up for the summer challenges – but manage only half a dozen half-hearted sun salutations… but I have come to the firm realisation in my dotage that I work best in a group and left to my own devices I have no commitment or motivation to do anything on my own whatsoever – I am a groupie in the yoga space for sure!
Anyway, on a recent dark night I was lost in the tunnel of Facebook when an advert for the Cancer Research UK February Yoga Challenge popped up and in a moment of madness (much like the LYY summer challenge) I signed up! This is a charity close to my heart – having lost both my parents within a month to cancer during the pandemic. So, I do want to make this work – but I think I need some help! Therefore I turn to you fellow yoga groupies – can you please sponsor me?
Here is the link to my Giving Page: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/amandas-giving-page-3409?fbclid=IwAR3u6lkLMUodGDOAEz9OR8YWoYnyAvNgZASPlIJLfhqFMpN-teL6HkKfbu0
I am also sharing the link via Facebook (of course)
When you donate to my page they can guess how many hours of yoga I will achieve in the comment box and I can reward whoever gets it closest to the mark – I am aiming for 20-30 mins a day outside of the 2 classes I do each week with Lucy. There’s a bottle of fizzy alcohol on offer for whoever get closest to the mark!” Mandy Brougham, Kenilworth
Well-Woman Yoga Events
Our March Well-Woman Event has already sold out and both June and November’s events are filling up too. Spaces at these events are limited. Many people are buying these events as Mother’s Day, Birthday or simply as Gifts for those wonderful women in life that they love. I also provide Living Your Yoga Gift Vouchers if a space at the event is a present.
Well-Woman Events invite you to an afternoon of complete nurture, nourishment and relaxation, so that you leave feeling uplifted, revitalised and restored. Practices include: meditation; breath work; spinal and joint release practices; pelvic floor practices; static and flowing posture work; pranayama and Yoga Nidra. The event is catered for by the gorgeous Desa Cafe whom always provide delicious drinks and mouthwatering snacks for us during our tea break. Charlie from F|Lux activewear will also be present at our March event with a special discount should you wish to purchase any of her active wear on that day!

Living Your Yoga’s candle ‘Santosha’ which means ‘contentment’ was created by Rebecca Tracey helping form LYY’s very special and delicious scent.

Yoga Nidra For Creativity
Keep your eyes peeled for my forthcoming Yoga Nidra practice for Creativity. I’ve written and recorded numerous Yoga Nidra’s for my Well-Woman Events, Retreats, my 1:1 Yoga Therapy Clients and for the Balance App. I thought it was about time I wrote another one to offer on my website for everyone who wants to explore using a Yoga Nidra practice to tune into their deeper creative selves, an opportunity to listen unconditionally and uncover something untapped and unique to you.
Yoga Nidra is a deeply healing practice and is known to help with sleep issues, prolonged stress and burn out, to support a deep relaxation practice and much more… The essence of the practice is to exist in the state between being awake and asleep: the body, mind and emotions are resting completely and peacefully as if sleeping deeply, but awareness is heightened: listening and observing.
“When you come to innocent, unconditional listening, your body goes spontaneously into deep peace” Jean Klein.
I’m looking to make Yoga Nidra For Creativity available ahead of the Easter Break - I’ll keep you posted.
Rest.
