It's Health & Safety at Work week this week and while this automatically brings to mind how we should be lifting boxes, operating machinery and wearing safety goggles, here at The Frog Project we think health & safety at work can also mean taking care of your mental and physical wellbeing. If we've learnt anything in the last couple of years, it's that a foggy, tired, burnt out mind is not a healthy or a safe place to be. How can Chair Yoga help? Simple yoga postures can help relieve tired or achey bodies and bring some fresh blood and oxygen into the areas that need it the most, leav ..read more

It's Birthday week here at Frog Project HQ and we're delighted to be sharing it with you. Dear friends, Most of us probably remember this time 2 years ago, the world as we knew up was turned upside down and inside out. For us at The Frog Project, our tag line 'from our living room to yours' was born! We began streaming yoga classes right into your homes from our living room and 2 years later, we're still here and so excited to be on this journey with you. Everyday, two or three times a day, we join together from all around the world to practice taking better care of ourselves, connecting with ..read more

Chaos in the World, Chaos in the Mind Whether you are living through chaos, know somebody who is or feel the pain from afar, know that there is something you can do to help. Yoga teaches us that by taking care of ourselves we are better able to take care of others. My yoga teacher and my yoga practice has taught me that we are all connected, and by doing good for ourselves we are doing good. If this is your reminder to put down your phone and take 5 minutes to breathe then follow your intuition. If you already practice yoga, then roll out your mat and move how your body wants you to move, if y ..read more

Covid & The Frog Project Here at The Frog Project we yoga from home and so we've done a pretty good job at dodging covid for the last couple of years. And then we move into February 2022 and half the teaching team (and the main Frog Proj HQ) go down with the bug. Of course, many of our students have had covid over the last couple of years, some of them continue coming to classes, others take a couple of couple weeks off, of course everybody is different. But it's been a good challenge for us this month. We're very thankful that nobody was seriously poorly, and everybody is pretty much back ..read more

As we move into mid-January, take a moment to pause, take a breath and notice all around us that is good. Some people call today Blue Monday and it is considered to be the saddest day of the year. Is this because the festivities of Christmas and New Year are over, resolutions are forgotten about or seem too hard, and for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Winter really is starting to kick in? The principles of nature, Yoga, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine talk to us about Winter as the season of nurturing, slowing down and resting where ever we are. If we move at 100 miles an h ..read more

New Year, New You and a New Yoga Challenge to help you get your 2022 off to a beautiful start. What is Couch to Downdog?

A Time for New Beginnings January has always been a time for new beginnings, and I feel that more so than ever we are all approaching 2022 with a particular vigour for a fresh start and for this to truly be the year where we make our New Year’s Resolution stick! The bad news is that about 80% of New Years Resolutions fail by mid-February. So how do you get yourself in that blessed 20%? For us, the magic of making – and keeping – New Year's resolutions begins with inspiration and is maintained with habit building. Your resolution needs to be something you are passionate about achieving and can ..read more

After the discombobulation of last year, a lot of us are feeling the pressure to make this Christmas ‘perfect’, which is making Black Friday - a tumultuous and stressy period at the best of times – even more frantic, impulsive, isolating, expensive and downright damaging. So, here at The Frog Project we have decided to take a leaf out of the book of the Green Friday ethos, which is all about giving, sharing and experiencing rather than buying. So rather than being stuck indoors on phones and laptops, competing for discounts and buying products we don’t need, let’s instead work towards a much ..read more
