Summer Solstice Blessings✨️

In Chinese Medicine, the Summer Solstice marks the peak of Yang energy, signifying maximum light, growth, and the Fire element phase, which is associated with the Heart, Pericardium, and Small Intestine organ system.

To balance this heat, which has already been intense with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, it's crucial to nourish Yin with hydration and bitter foods like bitter melon, green tea, dandelion, radicchio, cranberries, dark chocolate, and cooling fruits and vegetables. Seasonal foods are always the perfect choice, like cherries, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.

Protect your Heart's spirit with rest and joy, preventing burnout from too much Yang, which this festive season tends to offer. Take care of yourself in this high Yang time, be kind and gentle with yourself, find time each day to practice gentle Qigong movement or Yoga, such as Yin, and meditation, or even just lying in savasana for 10-20 minutes, which can help replenish Yin and balance.

Another feather has been added to my cap, 50 hour Yin YTT 😊 So much gratitude and respect to our wonderful teacher Brooke Devi 🙏 The Essence of Sadhana and thank you for our safe Shala The Yoga Place Blacksmiths 🤍

Very briefly Yin yoga originated in the 70's, rooted in martial arts and Taoist traditions. Later, Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers refined this style of yoga, also known as Taoist yoga, and ultimately renamed it Yin Yoga, which became the primary focus ☯️

~ My biggest shift has been to allow myself to surrender, feel and sit with my emotions without shame or embarrassment, and acknowledge that mistakes are lessons from which I learn 🏵

By letting go of the need for perfection, yoga can help us discover inner peace and cultivate self-acceptance, allowing us to appreciate our uniqueness and to honour our amazing bodies.

Enjoy the wobbles and being perfectly imperfect, every day is different, some days I am able to achieve a wonderful balance pose and other days I'm falling everywhere.

Laugh, bring a smile to your face, and enjoy being able to move and flow.

Everyone wobbles, and it is a natural part of being human and a sign that your muscles are working and you are getting stronger ♡
