One of the reasons that yoga has been around for thousands of years is that it really works - it really does make you feel calmer, stronger and more flexible in body and mind.

It doesn’t ask you to believe in anything you don’t want to believe in, it’s not a religion and you don’t even have to go to class. You don’t need any equipment, you don’t need to be bendy already and it doesn’t matter if you are fit or not, or what your body shape is.

All you have to do for yoga to work is do it.

At Oak Tree Yoga we are passionate about yoga, it’s what we do and we want to share it with as many people as possible. So we do online classes in our Facebook group every Tuesday at 7pm and we have an in person yoga class every week on Thursdays at 7pm in Wargrave, Berkshire.

If you don’t want to pay for classes, you can find sequences here for you to print out for free and do at home and guided meditations here to help you calm your mind.

You only need to move your body a little, to find out a little more about how your breathing can become more calm and centred, to take a few minutes out of every day to move your body and settle yourself.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself. When you do yoga from home nobody is looking, but you - can you accept your body as you find it? Can you let this moment be enough? Can you switch off your inner crtitic for just a little while so that you can move your body and deepen your breath and emerge feeling brighter, better and more positive about yourself and the world around you?

So how do you start yoga from home? You just begin and once you’ve begun you carry on, with an attitude of gentle kindness towards yourself and curiosity about where your beautiful life is taking you next.
