Are you existing rather than living?
The past few years living through the pandemic has taken it's toll on many of us, and it may feel like a struggle just to keep going. There's too much to do and not enough time to do it all. You feel drained physically and mentally, and even after a good night's sleep you don't feel refreshed.
Your mind is full of regrets about the past, worries about the future, and self-critical thoughts like 'What's wrong with me?', 'My life is a mess', 'Why can't I cope?'
A moment of sadness, frustration or anxiety can trigger more gloomy thoughts, and soon you're in a bad mood for the rest of the day or week!
You've heard that mindfulness can improve your mood, happiness and wellbeing, and have thought about giving it a try...
But how can you possibly sit still to be mindful when your mind is so busy?
Let me share a secret with you...
You don't have to sit still!
I know that most pictures of mindfulness and meditation include a person sitting cross legged, but there are SO many ways to do mindfulness and using movement is one of the best ways to get started.
I'm here to show you how easy mindfulness can be when you combine it with some gentle yoga, and to teach you the tips and tricks that will help keep your mind from spinning when you are sitting still.
Then I'll help you bring mindfulness into your everyday life - and that's where the REAL magic happens!

What will you learn?
In this seven week journey I'll introduce you to mindfulness, step by step, with the opportunity to try a different type of mindfulness each week:
Week 1: Wake up to your thoughts
Week 2: Become aware of your body
Week 3: How to move mindfully
Week 4: What sounds can teach us about thoughts
Week 5: Explore and accept difficulties
Week 6: Be kind to yourself
Week 7: Review your Mindfulness Toolbox
Can't wait to get started?
I'm still not sure if this is for me...
Maybe it's not. You might be one of the lucky ones who is already living in peaceful bliss!
Or maybe you're so caught up in your thoughts and so busy 'doing' that it's hard to see what you really need.
If you think this might be you, ask yourself these questions:
-
Do you find it difficult to stay focused on what's happening in the present?
-
Do you tend to walk quickly to where you're going without paying attention to what you experience along the way?
-
Does it seem like you're running on automatic without much awareness of what you're doing?
-
Do you rush through activities without paying attention to them?
-
Do you get so focused on the goal you want to achieve that you lose touch with what you're doing right now to get there?
-
Do you find yourself preoccupied with the future or the past?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, Mindfulness Made Easy can definitely help you!
So now you know you DO need more mindfulness in your life, what are you waiting for?
How have my classes helped my students be more mindful?
Gill White
I really enjoy the mindful focus you have, which I haven’t experienced in other classes and I like that you have a theme for the term.
You always have a lovely kind and compassionate tone, and I really look forward to the lesson each week as a highlight.
Alex Edwards
Anna's classes are unique.
She challenges our minds, as well as our bodies, creating a soulful experience.
Annie Osborne
Anna's yoga classes are like nothing I have ever experienced before.
Her voice is angelic and leaves me feeling incredibly 'zen' and relaxed after each and every class. She always makes you feel amazing in every pose and supports you along the way.
Everyone needs to experience Anna Banana Yoga!!
