BENEFITS: strengthen legs & core whilst stretching groins. Can be used in a vinyasa or as part of Sun Salutes.

To hold for longer, take in to a twist hooking elbow over outside of opposite thigh pressing belly in to leg to squeeze intestines and ease indigestion; perfect for this time of year (although don't do a Yogamanda on Ice!)

"it was brilliant!!!! Average time – 1hr 45 mins but there were hills after hills, thick mud and lots of styles to climb over and bridges to negotiate. Absolutely taken with cross country running now"

The marvellous MM was referring to her 9 mile x-country run which now clearly has her hooked. The beauty of my job is the variety of goals and the energy of clients; now I'm going to set up obstacle courses in the park so MM is well trained for her next crazy challenge!s

Absorb Autumn through the heart centre by opening up to the skies by performing this invigorating back-bend which counteracts the daily activity of hunching forwards. Used as the 2nd & 11th asana in the Sun Salute sequence upon inhalation, this pose strengthens the back & shoulders whilst stretching the abs. Yawn luxuriously and hold for a few breaths

"i honestly do enjoy the sessions as i find it very interactive and what really makes the difference is your passion for what you do comes through in the training. This makes one feel that you are focussed and genuinely interested in your client and their progress. Other P.T.'s just stand back and yap away to others and just seem to count the reps for you and that's about it. Your interest rubs off and i dont feel like a slob or an idiot in a gym which is a first for me !!!

Thanks SO MUCH - im enjoying it and its giving me a new direction and thought process"

Gush, thank you too JM : )
