Padel & Yoga Practice

Padel. It’s THE sport of the moment, and once you try it, it’s easy to see why.

Its explosion in success seems to have come from nowhere, but in fact the sport has been around since the late 60s. Enormously popular in Mexico and Spain, it’s a combination of some of the best bits of Tennis and Squash, played in an enclosed court. As it’s almost always played in doubles, the sport has maintained its social roots. It’s fast, fun, and physically demanding.

However, like any sport – particularly one that features repetitive movement – it can create strain on the body, and leave you open to injury.

Autumn Equinox – a new leaf…

Autumn officially begins this week, with Monday September 22nd as the Autumn Equinox (for the Northern Hemisphere). Equinox – a word with Latin roots – aequus meaning ‘equal’ and nox meaning ‘night’ it marks the moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator and gives us a day of roughly equal sunlight and moonlight…

With only two equinoxes in a year (spring and autumn) it is a celestial event with a rich cultural and spiritual meaning.

So how might we mark the changing seasons in our modern life?

Coming Together for a Cause

There’s something magical about the way a community comes together when it matters. And when it comes to raising money for cancer charities, it really does matter.

Cancer touches all of us in some way. We all have someone we care about who has been affected. That’s why raising money for cancer research feels so personal. Because it is.

Nutrition with Niki

Our retreats are the highlight of our Yoga on the Edge calendar. So many of those who join us for a retreat come back a second, third and sometimes fourth time! It’s an experience like no other, and we pride ourselves on curating the best teachers, the most beautiful locations, and the most delicious and nutritious food…

Patience, Persistence & Practice

As the 28 Day Challenge comes to a close, we have loved seeing so many of our YOTE community in the studio, on the mat and dedicating themselves to their practice. If you’ve not been able to get involved in the challenge this year, we hope you’ve still been inspired by the energy and buzz of the studio.

A Legacy Left Behind

The yoga community suffered a devastating loss recently, with the untimely passing of Sharath Jois.

As many of the teachers at Yoga on the Edge, including Studio Lead Clare, are Ashtanga practitioners, and so many of us practice Ashtanga Yoga, we wanted to note this huge loss for the yoga world.

Maggie’s Mini Yogathon

Hot on the heels of our Yogathon success, we held a Maggie’s yoga mini-marathon!

‘Maggie’s Manchester’ is based at the Christie Hospital. It’s a centre to support those with cancer, at any stage of their journey. Maggie’s offers practical support – such as financial advice – as well emotional support. This could range from talking support groups and helping to manage emotions, or how to have difficult conversations with loved ones.

The fun in fundraising…

One of the most important elements of what we do at Yoga on the Edge doesn’t feature much on our timetable. We don’t have a special page of the website devoted to it. And we don’t talk about it as much as we probably should…

It’s our fundraising.

But it underpins everything we want to build at Yoga on the Edge. Community is at the core of what we do. Karma yoga – the yoga of unselfish action – inspires acts of service. Our charity efforts create connections within our immediate yoga community and far beyond.
