February often brings the tail end of winter—cold days, sluggish energy, and a longing for the warmth of spring. This time of year can leave us feeling a bit stagnant, both physically and mentally. However, incorporating specific yoga poses into your routine can help invigorate the body, boost circulation, and increase energy levels, helping you feel more vibrant and alive.

Yoga is a powerful tool to stimulate the cardiovascular system, awaken dormant energy, and encourage a renewed sense of vitality. Below are some carefully selected poses to help you combat winter fatigue and feel your best this February.

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, November invites us to embrace the cosy and reflective energy of late autumn, early winter. However, the chilly weather can sometimes leave us feeling sluggish, cold, and a little less motivated to move. This is where yoga steps in as a nurturing and energising practice to help us stay warm, invigorated, and balanced during the colder months.

As the vibrant energy of summer fades into the crisp embrace of autumn, it’s a natural time to reflect on how we nourish both our bodies and our minds. This transitional season offers a unique opportunity to slow down, take stock, and realign ourselves with nature. As a yoga teacher, I often encourage my students to approach autumn with intention, using both yoga and nutrition as tools to find balance and harmony during this time of year.

As a keen yogi, I have on many occasions witnessed people in yoga classes being incredibly hesitant to use props in their yoga practice. Many see props as a sign of weakness or something that beginners rely on. So, as a yoga teacher, I made a decision to always tell my students that props are our friends and we always experiment with props vs. no props so we can notice how we feel. Props can actually enhance your practice, no matter your level of experience. They offer support, allow for deeper engagement in poses, and help prevent injury. In this post, we'll explore why using props can be so beneficial, address some common misconceptions, and highlight poses that can be enhanced or adapted with props to suit different needs.

As we get older our bodies and abilities may change but that does not mean that we cannot, or should not take up, or continue to do yoga.
