wow.. what a space!

On Thursday I celebrated the first night for my Yoga for Men classes at Two Rivers Primary School in Keynsham and what a space to teach in. As much as it was light, modern and spacious, it was the little things that made the biggest difference. The dimmable lighting, the comfortable flooring and sound proofing made me feel at home from the first moment to last.

To think this marked two years since I started my Thursday classes. That first night I only had 2 guys turn up (out of 10 booked on for a freebie). On Thursday it was a privilege to teach 19 guys.

The theme for this month is ‘it’s about time’. Inspired by the tempo training format I often do when strength training with Caroline Girvan. Focusing on changing the pace of movements from regular to slower pace when lowering, lifting and pausing in isometric holds. Increasing the time under tension for the worked muscle(s), heightening the mind to muscle connection and ultimately having ‘fun’!

Judging by the scores out of 10 the guys shared at the end, the class and venue certainly worked its magic 💫

My classes with men’s mental health charity Talk Club continue Mondays at St John’s school in Keynsham and Thursdays at Two Rivers school. I offer a free first class to new joiners, and a loyalty card that rewards regular attendance with a free class. What’s not to love…?
