Dear Lovely Yoga Friends
Another email so soon!
Apologies, but I have just heard that Lavington Hall will not be available this week for yoga classes on Wednesday 21 and Friday 23 May. That is this week. There are big plumbing repairs to the ladies toilets making access to the hall difficult.
However do not despair! We can move to the park and do an hour long class instead, 9.30-10.30 am, bring mats and appproroate clothing. If we use the area to the right of the Burton when looking from the front of the Burton. It is an area where there is sun and shade available on the grass. It is also quite a quiet area.This will be an anonymous donation class.
And a reminder that Northam hall is unavailable this week too. Classes will be held at 1 Windmill Lane in the council chambers.
With best wishes
Nicola
Dear Lovely Yoga Friends.
A couple of updates.
Northam Hall is unavailable during the week 19-24 May. That’s next week! However, do not despair as we have been offered the Northam Town Council Chambers for the classes on Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 May. Northam Town Council chambers are in Northam, 1 Windmill Lane, EX39 1BY. Not so far from the swimming pool. There is some parking in the roads near by. At the back of the Council Offices in Windmill Lane there is a Torridge run council carpark but it is quite limited in available spaces and costs £2.50 per day.TRE tension/stress/trauma release exercises. I have now completed all of my training and am qualified. If you would like a one to one session I am working on Friday afternoons and some evenings at a clinic in Bideford. TRE can be a useful practice to add to one’s self help tool box. A somatic approach focussing on the physical experience of tension and trauma. A
series of exercises designed to release deep-seated stress, tension, and trauma from the body. TRE activates a natural reflex of shaking or vibrating which helps to release muscular tension and calm the nervous system. I am currently charging a reduced rate of £25.00 per session.
I am also doing a group introductory workshop at Embody Wellbeing day in Woolsery on Sunday 22nd June at 11.15. The spaces are limited and need to be booked through me in advance. The cost of a place is £10.00. Please email me for more details.Some wooden bracelets and a ring were found after a class in Northam last week, they are now in the lost property cupboard of the hall. I have key to the hall if they are yours.
There will be a class on Bank holiday Monday 26 May, back in the hall as usual.Do ask if you have any questions, I always love to hear how your yoga is going and where you want it to go. But don’t chase the stretch, instead grounding grounding, grounding.With best summer wishes, best yoga wishes and best all round wishes. That’s a lot of wholesome wishes coming your way!

Dear All,
Wow for the lovely weather! I love how it brings us all some joy, win win for the sunshine and win win for everyone one of us too!
There are a couple of classes in the next few weeks that I am going to be away for so I wanted to let you know in advance.
All classes and times are as usual and you can go to any of them, Mondays are still the busiest day.
Mondays 9.30-10.30am on Zoom and at Northam hall,
Mondays 11-12 Gentler/slower class Northam hall
Tuesdays 9.15-10.00am Whatever the weather, Victoria park, Bideford
Tuesdays 10.30-11.30am Northam hall
Wednesday 9.30-10.45 Lavington hall, Bideford
Friday 9.30-10.45 Lavington hall, Bideford
Classes remain £5.00 at Northam. £6.00 in Bideford, Park by donation.
Lavington is usually much warmer these days.
There will be no second class 11-12 on Monday 24 March, no classes on Tuesday 25 March, no class on Wednesday 26 March and no class on Friday 18 April (Good Friday)
All other class will be as usual including Monday 24 March 9.30-10.30, Friday 28 March and Monday 21 April (Bank holiday)
I have just about finished the TRE (stress/tension/trauma release) provider course that I have been doing over the last year. I will then be offering one to one sessions at a reduced rate of £25.00 over the next few months. I might do some small groups later in the year. TRE involves awakening the body’s natural tremor mechanism to help release held tensions. I have found it a really useful practice.
It’s always good to hear how your yoga journey is for you, I am at classes early and usually have time after a class.
With best yoga wishes and sunny days ahead,
Nicola

Hi All,
A slight change to my previous email about dates of classes over the festive weeks. Lavington Hall are now having secondary double glazing fitted during the week before Christmas. This means there will be no classes now on Wednesday 18 and Friday 20 December.
The last class before Christmas will be 10.30-11.30 Northam hall Tuesday 17 December.
Classes will resume on Monday 6 January 2025, the schedule and cost will remain the same.
BUT there will be an Outdoor Park Yoga Class on Tuesday 31 December, New Year’s Eve at 9.15-10.00 Victoria Park Bideford.
As some of you know I have been on a Tension Stress Trauma release course over the last year. I am now at the point in my training where I am working with small groups. If you think you or a friend might like to come on a TRE workshop please let me know. The sessions are videod and watched by my mentors and then I have supervision on each session. If you would like to know a little bit more about TRE and the contraindications at this point in my training, please check this out on my website bidefordyoga.com Until I am qualified there is no charge for these sessions.
As always do ask if you have any questions about your practice. It’s been a great year being with you at classes, thank you for coming along and sharing a yoga journey together!
With best wishes for the time ahead,
Nicola

Hi All,
I hope the summer is going well for you.
There are classes as usual this coming week 19-23 August and then as mentioned in classes I am going to be away for most of the week 26-30 August so no classes during this time.
Classes will then resume for September starting on Monday 2.
I am changing the start time of the Wednesday Lavington class to 9.30am so that both the Wednesday and Friday classes start at the same time. I think it will be less confusing. The new weekly schedule will be as follows.
Monday 9.30-10.30 Northam Hall and on zoom
Monday 11-12 Northam Hall, (gentler class)
Tuesday 9.15-10.00am Whatever the weather yoga in the Park, Bideford.
Tuesday 10.30-11.30 Northam Hall
Wednesday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall, Bideford
Friday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall, Bideford.
The new class time will not one able to be adjusted on any social media until I have the help of my travelling daughter but it will still start from September!
Classes continue to be run on a drop in basis so you can choose what suits you week by week. The cost also stays the same, £5.00 for the hour classes and £6.00 for hour and quarter. Park yoga is by donation.
I am continuing with my studies and will be away on a course at the beginning of November so there will be no class 1/11/24. I will let you know again nearer the time!
Thank you for coming to classes, it’s wonderful to practice yoga together. Do ask if you have any questions, either in person or by email.
With best yoga steadying and grounding wishes,
Nicola

Hi Yogiis,
A very wet day conveniently timed for an email update.
There is no Lavington class tomorrow, Friday 3 May, I am away on a TRE (trauma release exercises) course training.
There will be classes on the Bank Holiday Mondays 6 and 27 May. However the hall at Northam is unavailable on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 May due to floor renovations so classes cancelled. I have decided to go away then so there will also be no park yoga either on Tuesday 21 May. There will be Lavington classes as usual that week.
Due to a number of reasons the times of the classes at Lavington are changing with the classes now being shortened to 1 hour 15 mins. This is happening from next week.
The new weekly schedule will look like this
Monday 9.30-10.30 Northam Hall and on zoom
Monday 11-12.00 Northam Hall, gentler class
Tuesday 9.15-10.00 Whatever the weather standing park yoga, Bideford.
Tuesday 10.30-11.30 Northam Hall
Wednesday 9.45-11.00 Lavington Hall, Bideford.
Friday 9.30-10.45 Lavington Hall Bideford.
I found a Barbour hat at the end of the Monday classes in Northam, please let me know if it’s yours.
Classes should run as usual through June. There are a few days I am away in July about which I will let you know in an email nearer the time.
Well done and thank you for taking the time to come to class, it’s still a joy to teach and learn. Do ask if you have any questions about your practice, I am usually at classes 20 mins before they start..
Hope you too are finding indoor activities whilst the garden gets watered!

Hi Lovely yogis,
All classes are as usual this coming week 18-22 March. Then I am away for a couple of days so no classes on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 March. The rest of the week and over Easter classes will be running as usual including Easter Monday, 1 April.
There are a couple of Fridays when I will be away 12 April and 3 May, the latter is a training course in Trauma Release exercises.(TRE) which should be interesting.
I hope you are enjoying your practice and finding it helpful in your life. Well done for making the time to come to class. Do ask if you have any questions, I am usually at class at least 20 mins before the start.
Happy Sunday, a few minutes ago I could say Happy Sunny Sunday but now a cloud has come along!
