It has been a huge shock watching events unfurl in the Ukraine. I, like a lot of people would like to be able to help and do something practical. Feeling helpless is hard, it is a reminder of our lack of control, with these sort of huge world events it is hard to know what on earth you can do to help.
I have decided that on Friday 4th March I am running a Fundraising Yoga Class, 7pm – 8:30pm at Emma’s Yoga Hut. It is such a small thing and so insignificant compared to the work of so many others, but it is what I am able to do practically right here this week to raise funds.
This fundraising class is not on my website, you need to book direct with myself emmasyogahut@gmail.com or use the contact me button! All money raised will go to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal | British Red Cross. I am also match funding everything that we raise. It is £15 to join the session, and there is only 1 place left.
Fridays yoga class will focus initially on grounding and anxiety reducing simple flowing yoga poses, we cannot help others when we are scattered and off centre, and even if we aren’t helping on the ground in Ukraine, we are often helping by supporting others in family and friendship groups and doing what we can from here. We will then move on to some gentle restorative poses to help us rest and regroup. Our session will be rounded off with a beautiful and hugely relevant traditional Buddhist meditation practice - the Metta, or Loving Kindness, meditation – where we find a place of tender love inside ourselves and grow it slowly and send it to all beings all over the world.
If you are interested in attending then please contact me directly.
With love, in peace,
Emma x
