Thanks for the hotyogapeckham shout out this morning Lauren @BBC6Music!!
#28DayChallenge 🏆
Warrior (Virabhadra)
It may seem strange to name a yoga pose after a warrior as yogis are often known for their non-violent ways (ahimsa) but one of the most revered yoga texts, the Bhagavad-Gita is based around a dialogue between two famous warriors, Krishna and Arjuna. What's really being commemorated is the ‘spiritual warrior’ who courageously does battle every day with the universal enemy of self-ignorance (avidya), the source of suffering.
The benefits of the warrior asanas are to open up the chest, stretch the shoulders, neck and back whilst activating the core and strengthening the legs.
It is also an excellent chance to focus on being present, feeling the feet on the floor and the air in your lungs!

Lockdown 2.0 update
Studio 54 will be closed from Thursday 5th November 2020 and all classes will be live-streamed direct via zoom.
How will this effect Studio memberships?
All Monthly Members can use their membership to practice online. The latest Monthly Members' November payment has already been processed so instead Warriors, Cobras & Tree Members will be entitled to a 50% reduction in fees for December. If you need to change your membership or are in a position to waive the 50% discount, then please get in touch.
All studio 6 / 12 Class Packs will be extended by 30 / 60 days respectively and 1st Month Passes will be extended by 28 days. Livestream Unlimited & 6 Class Packs will be valid online. You may use more than one type of membership simultaneously.
What will happen to the class timetable?
All the studio classes have been removed from the timetable. If you are currently booked into a Studio Class (or on the Waitlist) then please re-book into a Power Yoga online class to practice via zoom with a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. With plenty more capacity online pre-booking restrictions will also be lifted.
As people are more likely to be working from home we’re going to trial a new Lunchtime Yoga Tue 12-12.45pm (45mins). Also, as some of us may be in need of a little more headspace, we're offering Guided Meditation Thu 12 Nov 6-6.30pm (30min x 4 sessions) to focus on self-care.

Thanks for your co-operation.
You and me and everything else in the universe, we are all connected
Although each person may be on a different path, we are all still connected via the energy that flows through us and everything around us. The yogic path is focused on shifting energy from ignorance and detachment toward awareness and kinship. Such a shift can be experienced during a yoga class. With consistent practice, this impact can create a more long-term shift of the energy in ourselves and the world around us. To reap the physical & emotional benefits of yogic energy become a WARRIOR. WARRIORS have priority and can arrange recurring reservations. TREE & COBRA Members can also upgrade to WARRIOR Unlimited.
