This was my fourth Wizzafest doing Wizzayoga for all the festival goers. Each year the venue has got bigger and better , this year we had a huge marquee! Everyone who participated was very enthusiastic, considering they had been partying all weekend!
The main focus of Wizzafest is to raise awareness and funds for Macmillan, so thank you to all the yogis who donated on Sunday morning after the class, you were brilliant!
A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who supported our recent YOGATHON at the wishing well!!
We raised just under £500 which was well over what we expected and all donations went to the mental health charity ‘MIND’.
Im so pleased that we had so much support in raising the profile of using yoga to combat mental health issues.
“If you want transformation, the largest part of it has to happen in the body, because the body carries much more memory than the mind”
I have just completed a Sound to Silence retreat with the wonderful Swami Gyan Dharma at Mandala Yoga Ashram.
Ive spent 5 days chanting, meditating and being silent. We had a Havan ( sacred fire ceremony) every day as a way of cleansing and renewing ourselves.
This is what he said around the fire one day,
” The only way to be truly happy, is to know that in this present moment you are free. The practice is to keep reminding yourself of this!”
Everyone who attending the last summer workshop did wonderfully well. We explored the themes and experienced the practice of this joyful , uplifting sequence.
For some it was a return, and for some it was completely new. You all deserved your cake!!

I celebrated this special day as it coincided with the Summer Solstice, by practicing my sun salutations on top of Glastonbury Tor at 4am.
I was hoping for a spectacular sunrise, it was rather cloudy, so more of a red glow than a show stopping ball of fire!
The atmosphere was exciting and as I was practicing so high up, it felt as though as I was much closer to the sky and I felt the wind rushing around me, the very essence of pure energy.
I felt a connection to the Earth and the sky, drawing the energy from both was incredible.
There was a world peace meditation at the Chalice Well Peace Garden, a celebration of the solstice. It was also a time of people coming together to celebrate nature, the elements and the joy of simply being still and aware.
This is the Chant that we ended with, reciting as a group:
ONE CIRCLE, ONE LOVE
ONE GAIA, ONE EARTH
ONE PEOPLE, ONE HEART
Joyful!!!
Workshop on Saturday June 27th.
This workshop is now full but will be repeated in September.
Joyful, simple practices for deep awareness and a return to the Self.
