Dru Yoga is a beautiful slow and flowing form of yoga that will help you to relax, unwind and stretch out your body. It can help revive tired muscles, reduce back pain and combat stress.

Physical movements and yoga help us to become aware of ourselves, to let go of stress and anxiety, to become more mindful. And to allow the body to relax more deeply. Intertwined with the asana we will try out mudras and pranayama which can help bring moments of peace and calm when you need them most ? in the middle of your day and in challenging situations. We?ll then take an extended relaxation, helped by the movement and stretching we?ve just done, and supported by bolsters and blankets so you can be as comfortable as possible.

Do you spend all your time looking out for other people, and not yourself? Do you care deeply for the world but forget to care enough for yourself? Have you become exhausted by your schedule and need to remember to put time in the diary for you? It?s time to replenish! Join me for a mini-retreat in London this November. Come for one afternoon, or both and fill up your own cup.

Audre Lorde These workshops will give you a healthy dose of self-care, whilst also empowering you to make this a key focus in your life, alongside your social-conscience, care for the world, looking after those you love and your work life. If you are someone who tends to give to others more than you look after yourself, then this is for you. This is self-care for those who care. What is Dru Yoga?

Hi Kirsty Yes - the sessions are for all levels, total beginners upwards, although this week's session (Monday 28 July) does require a little prior experience of yoga. The regular sessions on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are for all levels but as each style is quite different you might want to choose the class that suits you best - depending on your fitness levels, experience and what you want to get from coming to yoga. I'm really happy to help you with that if you like - email me on [email protected] x

People go through our bins all the time up near the top of P Rye park. I just ask them to leave it all tidy and close the bins after. And I make sure I don't throw away anything with my name and address on it. They're looking for stuff that can be re-used or sold I guess (I've seen them take household items, shoes as well as electricals - which shouldn't be in the bin anyway)and I think that if they are prepared to/need to do that, then it's not doing me any harm. And some stuff that gets thrown away has lots of life in it - it's hands-on recycling!

Hi All Just a quick note about my yoga classes as I have a new Peckham/East Dulwich class starting this week at Gaia Studio on Maxted Road (just off Bellenden Road) and am continuing my early morning pre-work class at the Ivy House in Nunhead (complete with roaring log fire) and I'm back at the Peckham Liberal Club on Saturday mornings too. Dru Yoga is a lovely flowing style of yoga that will help you relax, unwind and stretch out your body. It?s ideal for reviving tired muscles and can help reduce back pain and stress. The gentle therapeutic nature of Dru Yoga means that it?s suitable for all ages and abilities including complete beginners and those who might otherwise feel unable to attend yoga classes. My classes are uplifting, fun and accessible to everyone. If you?re one of those people who think yoga isn?t for you, then come and give my classes a try!

Hi Just wanted to drop a note to say I've been really delighted with the work and customer service from Bicycle Nation - the guys that do the bike drop-in at North Cross Road market and will also come to your house to fix/service your bike for no extra charge. I found it really hard to find a good service I could afford so wanted to pass that on to anyone that might be looking. Lucy

Hey Johanna Try the Forest Hill Road Supermarket, on Forest Hill Road next to where the 63 bus starts. It has a really good value grocery out front and they even do two bottles of (perfectly drinkable) wine for a fiver!

Daisy I can't help with the stolen bike but if your brother needs one to tide him over, we have a basic but perfectly functioning mountain bike with front suspension that he can have. Just send me a message and arrange to pick it up, we are in Peckham Rye.

Bic - I'm not sure but it could be. Was he very tall and quite aggressive? Drinking? He got on my bus again last night, outside Tesco, this time he was drinking, smoking and shouting. He seems to get on the bus to cause a stir, rather than actually go anywhere.

No the bus driver didn't do anything - TFL tell me they are told not to leave the cab except in an emergency, which whilst that makes me feel pretty unsafe, I do understand. I have witnessed a bus driver being beaten up on his bus and that was awful too. The police have been excellent, and whilst it is unlikely anything will come of the investigations I felt it was important to report it, and this is partly why I have posted on here so that others will do the same, if they come across this man. Also I would encourage you if you are a passenger on a bus and witness something like this, please ask the driver to call the police or call 101 yourself - no-one else on the bus assisted and as I was on crutches I couldn't get to the driver. Thanks :)

Hi Meadow It does but because TFL ignored my complaint for 4 days it will now have been deleted. The police have submitted a request for the second incident to help identify him but the request will, rightly, sit below other more serious crimes so may not be agreed to by TFL. If anyone else has problems, please do report it to the police. The man I encountered always seems to have a can of Tenants Super and is very tall - his head nearly touches the ceiling of the bus.

The first time somewhere around Burgess Park and got off bottom of Southampton Way, second time by Tescos at the bottom of Rye Lane so quiet a wide area. Both times it was late, 11pm and about 9.15pm.

Thanks Twirly, I think it is a different man. There are similarities but I don't think it is the same guy from the descriptions of his behaviour, unless he has quite varied episodes.

Has anyone had any problems with anti-social behaviour on the 343 recently? I have reported two incidences involving the same man to the police, who have been very helpful (unlike TFL) and are investigating the issue. The first incident was most distressing and involved repeated sexual and racist comments, the second was not serious but still scary after the first one. I am fine, but as a lone female passenger I was very scared and felt it needed to be addressed. I believe no-one, no matter what race or gender, should have to suffer abuse. And it is possible the man may need help. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had problems with anti-social behaviour on this bus, because perhaps some of you know of him?

We use Turners and I have been really impressed. When they couldn't fix a problem (specialist as an old car) they referred us to another excellent garage who fitted a part we sourced to keep the cost down. http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1075/108755.php

Hi Jon I just saw this thread so I am little late in joining in but... Is this any use? http://www.airevalleybikebus.org.uk/ My neighbour in Bradford set it up and the idea is the whole thing is ready for anyone else to take and re-purpose for their own local bike bus, including the posters, logo, website, etc. In case you wanted to spread the idea a bit further. I think it is excellent to share rides and would be really happy to offer my services as a guide from Peckham Rye to Trafalgar Square and a few other places too. I commute on an ad-hoc basis at the moment but if I do ride it I set off about 8.30am. I've tried lots of different routes, and I avoid all roundabouts and as many right-turn junctions as possible. Lucy

We're just off Peckham Rye. Had lots of flashing of lights and a couple of very short cuts yesterday but been totally without power since before 7am this morning. Still not fixed. Apparently it is a substation issue and the engineers are there now.
