Integrated Yoga why we love to expand into space from your centre.

Integrated yoga where stretching is really expanding from the inside.
This is my second key principle lesson for you. When we are integrated, joined-up we can expand from the inside out.

 

Hands forward of shoulders, touching down. Be through your elbows. Kneeling with just tips of big toes touching down. Empty your breath, follow the direction of the engagement with gravity, emptying upper belly to lower. Does this make the tips of your big toes land more heavily? Go in this direction, so your hips settle towards the tips of your heels. Keep emptying and settling.

Walk from Shanklin to Ventnor Over the Downs

By Leave a Comment

Walk from Shanklin to Ventnor over the Downs taking in the beautiful south east corner of the Island.

The path down to the old Ventnor railway station is one of the steepest on the island, so this part is a short but strenuous walk. Mostly on grassy paths. No stiles but some kissing gates.

It Can be slippery in wet weather and muddy in winter so care is needed.

The exposed downs can be very windy. Dogs are welcome, but please keep on a lead around wildlife and livestock, and take any mess home with you. This walk is brilliant for views all over the Island particularly from the top of Shanklin Downs over East Wight and across the Solent to Portsmouth and also towards the West with glimpses of Freshwater in the distance. As you walk along side the Radar station you get a sense of the height you’re at, with views over Ventnor and the Sea.

Walk from Shanklin to Ventnor around the coast.

By Leave a Comment

A walk from Shanklin to Ventnor is enriching. The first part is a bit of an uphill beast, but once you leave the town behind, the views and the natural environment of the landslip make it worth the effort.

Some up and down hills, with steep areas, uneven paths and rickety steps. 

There’s a couple of cream tea opportunities on the way, the oldest church on the Island, and the sea by your side all the way from Bonchurch to the beach, cafes and pubs of Ventnor. The No. 3 bus runs every half an hour back to Shanklin, but do check timetables.

By 1 Comment

John Keats is strongly linked to the Isle of Wight, Islanders are proud of their Islands artist heritage.

During that time, he resided in two houses, one in Castle Road in Carisbrooke and the other Eglantine Cottage in  Shanklin.
