redkite yoga
Been to lots of yoga classes over the years, trying to find the perfect teacher. The first one I went to with my friend Olivia was in the Quaker meeting house in Bath. The teacher was calm, inspiring and taught the class so everyone could learn and improve without feeling left behind or overwhelmed. He was a brilliant teacher.
Since moving back to Worcestershire I have searched for a teacher of that quality. I have endured some comedy yoga classes in sports centres by teachers who have no spiritual connection to the moves they are demonstrating and it felt like I would never find the yoga vibe I was hoping for; where mind and body could both grow and become stronger.
But finally last year I started a class in a local village and straight away I knew this was a great class. Been going to the weekly classes when I can and each time I come away feeling wonderful. My body is getting stronger and it helps to keep negative thoughts away. I feel calm and positive after practicing. A couple of weeks ago I had a one-to-one hour with Kate and it was really helpful. I now have a routine to practice at home that will strengthen specific parts we felt needed to be improved. Everyday I get up and run through my poses and I am so glad to have found a teacher as encouraging and inspiring as Kate Alexander.

humanæ
There is NO black or white...
'Humanae is a chromatic inventory, a project that reflects on the colors beyond the borders of our codes by referencing the PANTONE® color scheme.
(PANTONE® Guides are one of the main classification systems of colors, which are represented by an alphanumeric code, allowing to accurately recreate any of them in any media. It is a technical industrial standard often called Real Color)
The project development is based on a series of portraits whose background is dyed with the exact Pantone® tone extracted from a sample of 11x11 pixels of the portrayed’s face. The project’s objective is to record and catalog all possible human skin tones.'
what shade are you?
