I look forward to seeing you there.

I’m so grateful for all my wonderful Christmas gifts from my yoga family.

Each and every one of you, phenomenal souls, are amazing and my life is richer for you all.

Julieanne has excelled herself again this year with such thoughtful, positively brilliant gifts.

I was surprised and delighted to be treated to my Christmas meal at our celebration at The Friendly Fox, which was delicious. Great company, food, drink and entertainment.

Then at class more surprises – a bag full of presents to open during the session. I love them all and am excited to use the skating items in particular. I will take some action shots to share with you.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, especially of heart.

Once upon a time I bought every Yoga with Geri attendee a gift but we’ve expanded so much that I now use a random selection option for 2 students from each class to receive an Aura Yoga & Homoeopathy voucher. To those who received one I hope you really enjoy spending it. It could be your turn next to those who haven’t received one this time.

Enjoy the festive holidays and please remember to activate your 1 Minute Movement routines! I look forward to seeing, and sharing the photos to add to our Yoga Anytime Anyplace Anywhere album.

We all had so much fun in the sun at Rest Bay, Porthcawl, to celebrate the occasion of Aurayoga with Geri’s Silver Jubilee..

16 of us for Yoga on the Beach
A few less for a Sea Swim
All of us walked 13k+ steps
Enjoyed a delicious lunch at Beales Chip Shop
Ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate as we walked back to Rest Bay.

I consider myself richly blessed and am so grateful to you all for being part of the journey.

Thank you to those who attended the celebrations. I think everyone enjoyed immensely as we ended up staying all day! Plus the smiles and shenanigans are plain to see on these photos.

They say ‘your vibe attracts your tribe’ and this is certainly true of our Aura Yoga with Geri community.

My yogi tea quote today:
“Love is life. Life is love”
I certainly feel the love.

Thank you for all your messages, cards, gifts, lunch and sweet treats.

I thought I’d share a few of the messages with you:

`I have not known you very long but enjoy your classes and the warmth you create… in life, love and emotion. Thank you for sharing your joy.`

‘Congratulations – what a huge achievement, it demonstrates how successful you are. I have only been enjoying your yoga classes for a few weeks but can see why it has been running for so long. Thank you and well done.`

`Big congratulations Ger, what an amazing achievement. I’m so happy that I’ve joined your Yoga Family and am absolutely loving it! You are a beautiful person both inside and out and this shines through. Thank you for welcoming me.`

`Thanks for the last 18 months of classes. I’ve really enjoyed your friendly teaching style and warm, welcoming manner. Also I love the friendships that the classes engender. Thank you.`

`Congratulations I have only been attending a short time but really enjoy and look forward to class.`

`I am so glad I found Geri’s yoga class and wish I had found it years ago. I always feel uplifted after class, it’s such an enjoyable experience, we laugh and chat as well as do yoga. Congratulations on 25 years. You are truly an inspiration.`

`I’ve been coming to yoga for many years but Geri’s class is certainly the best. She is very mindful of anyone’s limitations and will suggest alternatives to enable us to stay safe. I enjoy the comaraderie of the others so much, it is a very enjoyable experience.`

We hope to revisit Rest Bay in January for more of the same.

Due to the Bank Holiday for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, there will be no Yoga classes next Monday, 19th September 2022.

Those who have blocked booked are welcome to mix n match sessions this month or I am happy to credit you.

I’m so excited to be hosting monthly Menopause Yoga workshops, open to all stages of menopause and a variety of other Well-being workshops at this historical ancient venue.

The original Llancaiach Fawr Manor house was built in 1550 and is said to be haunted. Guided tours of the Manor and Ghost Tours are available to book. I highly recommend both as you are greeted by costumed interpreters and are transported back in time to the early 1600 hundreds and the rein of King Charles I.

There is also dining available in the Lounge or Conservatory depending on availability with stunning views of the Welsh countryside. The Cafe is open from 10am – 4pm with hot meals served until 2pm. The Lunch Menu includes freshly made sandwiches, jacket potatoes, homemade cakes and a variety of hot meals.

Sunday Lunch can be pre-booked between 12 – 2pm every Sunday and offers a choice of two or three courses, main course is served carvery style. Afternoon Tea is also very popular and available to pre-book.

I know the majority of you don’t enjoy ‘Laughter Yoga’ so I’ve devised other ways to encourage a smile.

Aura Yoga with Geri enjoyed a SUP Yoga session at the beautiful lake near Cwmbrân last weekend.

The weather was kind, the air fresh, the water welcoming as we stretched, inverted, balanced , breathed, relaxed and nourished our souls thanks to the expert tuition of Yoga with Kitty.

Of course a visit to the panoramic cafe was a must afterwards. The salads are wonderful and are adorned with edible flowers

There’s only one more scheduled SUP YOGA session at this location scheduled for this season.

Please check out the Watersports Centre online to find out more or to reserve one of the many activities on offer.

I’ve decided to not offer Hatha Yoga on zoom at combined Live class on a monday 6-7pm.

Unfortunately the sound, picture, lighting quality is poor at Plas Mawr Community Centre and I feel I’m not providing a quality yoga experience.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

If you are in credit I will happily refund or you can transfer to an in person class if it’s accessible to you or use in the Aura Yoga & Homoeopathy Shop.

I will continue the meditation class combination 7.15-8.15pm for next week monday, subject to bookings.

Thank you for supporting the classes.🙏🏼🙏🏼
