Seated yoga is about taking hard to achieve poses & adapting them into accessible poses. Last week I adopted the superman pose into our routine.
Well…
In Friday or FriYays class some ladies took the supermen pose to the Next level😆🤩
Well played ladies Well played!! That was so super🦸‍♀️❤️
If you would like to join us before term ends please feel free to come along (superman attire not required) just comfy clothes & a smile 😄
We love to support Panthers & grab a coffee or cold drink after class & catch up with old & new friends. All welcome

From fluffy & scruffy to super sleek & styled, 🤩😍 Miss S looks like two different doggos 😆 I have to say I am super impressed with Petstock Kelso groomers they did an awesome job looking after her!! 🫶🏻

“The true purpose [of Zen] is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes... Emotionally we have many problems, but these problems are [often] created by our self-centered ideas or views. When we realize the truth of “everything changes” and find our composure in it, we find ourselves in Nirvana.” ―Shunryu Suzuki

Hello beautiful people!
Our Funday Sunday adventure took us to Borenore Kast Reserve! What a fun little self guided wander through this little gem. Only an 800m full loop walk. Easy going but getting through the kast would be a little challenging for those not too steady on their feet.
Awesome clean & well maintained picnic grounds, though I didn’t see any BBQs so BYO picnic & enjoy exploring our local region 😄
Would love to hear your recommendations on where we should go next😀
Remember, Chair Yoga is on tomorrow 1-2pm at Panthers. See you there!!

💪A lot of stress that we experience comes from trying to control what we cannot.
🙏We spend time wishing, hoping or praying that things would be different.
🤯Worrying is to feel anxious or troubled about real or potential problems.
😶‍🌫️And while these feelings of stress, anxeity or fear, are very real & valid, they are not always helpful.
🩸Our bodys truely listen to our minds & respond to these thoughts & feelings with rapid heart rate, sweaty palms, tightening of muscles, increased blood flow in preparation for fight/flight/freeze/fawn, all of these have an impact our health.
🦠Continued or long term stress will be held by our bodies in even more health issues.
☀️But it is not all doom and gloom. Your body responds this way to keep you safe. The body really doesn’t know the difference between Real & Percieved threats the mind is sending signals about.
♥️The best thing we can do is bring our bodys to a state of relaxation.
I have shared 5️⃣ easy & cost effective ways you can support yourself to alleviate the thoughts & feelings of stress, worry, anxiety & the fear of the unknown helping you achieve the relaxation response.
1️⃣
🗣️Talking to someone you trust- who will listen, friend, family, therapist.
2️⃣
💃🏻Dance - Play your favourite music & move to the rhythm, there is no right or way, just move!
3️⃣
🌳Go outside - walk, run, sit, connect! Receive the Oxygen & Vitamin D that is free for you!
4️⃣
⛹🏻‍♂️Exercise - play a sport, join a team, make new friendships along the way!
5️⃣
🖊️Journal - not just any old writing to ruminate in the feelings of dread - Specifically Worry journaling. This is where you jot your worries down & add 5 solutions to each worry.
✨Not all of your solutions will be appropriate but the magic happens while creating the solution that will work.
☆If you would like more info please DM
Have a magical day
