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.

SWITCH OFF SUNDAYS 📵 👉🏾 If you're looking to spend a bit less time online then how about joining me for Switch Off Sundays - one day a week away from all social media. Allow yourself some space and time away from your screen to recharge.
If you’re new to this account here’s more info on the ‘why’ of Switch Off Sundays 👉🏾 Do you ever find yourself reaching for your smartphone 📱on waking, or being online right up to bedtime?
During the summer of 2017 I took a week-long Social Media Holiday - one week away from all social media platforms. Though I enjoy social media, I find it is all too easy to for 5 minutes to turn into 10 or 20 minutes or more (!) of scrolling.
Does any of this ring true for you?
Aside from studies showing that the blue light emitted from our smart phones and computer screens can hinder sleep, research also suggests a link between spending extended time on social media and experiencing negative mental health outcomes.
Just a few things I noticed from that week-long social media holiday 👉🏾 I found my mood was brighter, I slept better, and I enjoyed more time reading (real books 📚 not an eReader). With this in mind I decided to keep my Sundays social media free ever since and so, ‘Switch Off Sundays’ was born! 😀 I’ve taken more week-long (and longer) breaks from social media since, but giving yourself one day a week away from all social media can be a great place to start if a longer period feels too much of a leap for you right now.
Whatever your plans, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend ☀️💛🙏🏾
SUMMER YIN YOGA ☀️ LATERAL DRAGONFLY POSE ••• Try this seated side-bending pose for Heart, Intestine and Lung meridian stimulation. In this short video filmed @embodyvauxhall, I show you how to use a bolster or block for support in your side bend. You can place your support either in front or behind your leg on the side you are moving your upper body towards. If your back tends to round when you are sitting then you can sit on a block (as I am here) or a cushion or folded blanket to tilt your pelvis and bring your spine into a neutral position. Aim to be in your Lateral Dragonfly for 1-3 minutes on each side. Always work within your own range 💛
For more like this, join me here at the @embodyvauxhall studio tomorrow and each Friday for Yin & Restorative 17.45-19.00 🧘🏾♀️
Would you like to join us? See link in @yogamattershq bio to sign up 🙏🏾💛

YINYASA - WEDNESDAYS 11.30-12.30 @yogapointbrixton in the studio (places limited to 8) and online •••
This class is a meditative combination of flowing yang (active) postures and yin (floor-based passive) postures accessing the body’s deep connective tissues and connecting the breath with mindful movement. The intention of this yin and yang flow is to create more space and integrity in the body, finding ease and release while cultivating more mind/body awareness.
