Welcome to U Can Yoga
My intention is to give you the space to nurture yourself as you breathe, strengthen and stretch your body and mind.
I encourage you to tune into your body and move safely, with awareness through your yoga asana (posture) practice as you find your own expression of yoga, access your true nature and come back home to yourself.

Wednesdays 11:30 via Zoom & the @yogapointbrixton studio (when open). This class starts with postures and movement and transitions to supported Yin postures. At first it may appear deceptively gentle but that is the work of this class. It allows space for the body and mind to let go and relax. To nurture and restore. #yinyogabrixton #yinonzoom #yinonline #yogatoheal #ucanyoga #yogapointbrixton #yogapointbrixtononline #brixtonyoga #hernehillyoga #tulsehillyoga #yinyoga #blackyoginis #blackyogateachers #lockdownyoga #yogawednesday #yogawednesdays
Reposting myself from 2017.
Alex Soojung-Kim Pang’s words are just as (if not more) relevant now. Rest has become a bit of a buzzword lately but if you’re a long-time friend here you’ll know I’ve been about this rest thing for a while, from beginning to teach RESTorative yoga in 2012 to my initial 365 consecutive days of 20 minutes of savasana in 2014 (swipe for flashback of my first #365Savasana article in @omyogamagazine from that year), while my yoga nidra practice has been - and continues to be - integral. This is an ongoing practice for me too.
Whatever your plans are for this weekend, my wish for you is that you make space for rest - however that looks for you.
I’ve been offering The Rest Sessions online bi-monthly since earlier this year (see previous post for more). Next Saturday is the final one of 2020 (and the last workshop I will teach this year). If you can’t be there live there is the option to receive a limited-time replay. Link in my bio for full details to book your place.

REST ••• Throwback to one of my favourite reads of 2017 📚 If overwork is your new ‘normal’ then I’d recommend this book which draws on neuroscience to offer lots of insights and practical tips on how to up your downtime 💙
THE REST SESSIONS RETURN ••• (This will be my last workshop of 2020)
The Rest Sessions
Saturday 28th November 2-4.30pm *£20 recommended price.

You deserve Rest.
Rest is radical. It is not fluffy or lazy – it is essential.
The Rest Sessions are a culmination of my years of teaching and practice to date. Grounded in Restorative Yoga and including meditation, yoga nidra and (optional) journaling, this 2.5 hour session of contemplative practices is designed to help bring you back home to yourself – your true nature.
Will you give yourself permission to Rest?
Sliding scale pricing is as follows:
Pay it Forward – £25
The Sustainer – £20
The Preserver – £15
Feedback for The Rest Sessions:
“That was really great Paula, thank you! I have C-PTSD and typically struggle quite a lot with calming my nervous system and being present during contemplative type practices. I found this really really effective and definitely want to carry it on.” – M
“Thank you so much for that practice Paula! That was so nourishing and wonderful – exactly what I needed.” – Yvonne
“Thank you Paula! I absolutely love your offerings and feel so relaxed and ‘at home’ when I take your classes. You have a gift for holding the space. Your classes are just really special.” – Deb

Rose petals...
There is a full schedule of Zoom classes @yogapointbrixton starting from 06:30am. Our teachers practice a range of yoga styles but what they have in common is a straightforward respect for the practice and a desire to share this. Social justice is at the heart of the practice. A journey to self awareness must include an awareness of the lived experience of all people and the courage to challenge what is not right. While we continue to live in a systemically racist country we must do what we can to call this out, challenge the system and lift up the voices of those who we need to hear right now. Our Prime Minister is as racist and as much a threat to democracy as Trump. We are living in dangerous times..... #rosepetals #rosesofinstagram #yogaonzoom #yogapointbrixton #yogapointbrixtononline #brixtonyoga #hernehillyoga #tulsehillyoga #socialjusticeyoga #blacklivesstillmatter
