Winter Solstice Blessings my loves 💜

We've reached that point in the year when our corner of the Earth starts to tilt back towards the sun. And yet we're still in a liminal space where nature is still quiet and resting.

Our practice this week has focused on our inner light, and being able to connect to our light, even on the darker days and during the darker times.

With gratitude. With mindfulness. With joy. With breath. With movement.

It's all there inside of you, just let your inner light shine through.

With love

Why is Yoga such a powerful ally during perimenopause?

I'll let you in on a little secret 🤫🤫

It's NOT about flexibility!! I mean, touching your toes is great...but that won't cool you down during a hot flush or make you remember that word that's on the tip of your tongue but you JUST CAN'T REMEMBER IT!

Studies with groups of perimenopausal women have shown that practising yoga can:
🫶 significantly improve sleep in perimenopause and post menopause
🫶 reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and stress during perimenopause
🫶 may help to regulate stress response, and the neuro-endocrine hormonal system, supporting the nervous system in perimenopause
🫶 offers a non-pharmacological, holistic practice for hormonal fluctuations, particularly for those who are unable to use MHT.

As with any treatment during perimenopause, yoga is not a magic fix. Especially if you are only attending a class every now and again.

As with anything that needs a major shift, it takes time, commitment and patience to notice any difference. The effects of a yoga practice on perimenopausal women will be stronger when practised regularly over weeks/months.

When you practice yoga consistently and intentionally, it becomes such a powerful tool in your arsenal of perimenopause symptom management.

This is why my SoulShine programme is 12 weeks. Over 12 weeks I coach you 1:1 to find a yoga practice that supports you and your symptoms. Our practice is consistent and intentional. And you are encouraged to practice as much as possible, through movement, breathwork and yoga nidra (deep guided relaxation).

Interested? Send me a DM and let's talk.

You've got nothing to loose...well except the interrupted sleep, feeling angry and ragey, exhaustion and brain fog!

A gentle reminder for those that need it right now...

Solstice is just over a week away. Little by little our corner of the earth will start to tilt back towards the sun.

I've been reflecting on the theme of impermenance in my practice and in class this week. This constant state of flux and change.

Sometimes we welcome change, we genuinely seek it. And a lot of times we resist, because change can be scary. Stepping out of our comfort zone and into the unknown can make us fearful.

But our bodies are in a constant state of flux, every time we take a breath our cells are changing. Every day we wake up, our bodies have changed from the day before. We might not notice it, but it's happening.

Our moods and emotions, maybe more noticeably, are constantly shifting.

And right now, each day gets a little less daylight. And in a couple of weeks time, we'll get a little more daylight. Nature is constantly changing, weather, seasons, moon and earth cycles. It's easier to notice, to accept and to embrace.

So wherever you are now, know that that's exactly where you are supposed to be. And know that you won't be there forever. This will shift and change. Can you embrace where you are now, and embrace what comes next?

What change are you embracing today?

In this busiest of seasons, are you still showing up for yourself?

It's usually the first thing that gets dropped as a woman, especially for those of us in perimenopause.

5 ways I have shown up for myself this week at the start of December:

✅️ went for a talky-walk with a lovely friend. We didn't stop talking and the time flew by. Shorter weighted workouts and yoga practice on the other days.

❎️ said no to two social engagements that fell on evenings with other commitments. I don't want my energy frazzled by doing it all.

✅️ screens off and in bed by 10pm x 4 nights this week

✅️ made nourishing soups for lunch with tons of veggies, legumes and wholegrain.

✅️ full moon meditation and journaling/reflection on the last year, both with my business and personally. I used to dread the work annual business review...now I get to do it with candles, crystals and palo santo 🥰

None of these took loads of time from day, but without them I'm less clear-headed and calm. So they are now non-negotiable.

What ways are you saying yes to you this season?

With love

Ooh the Full Moon energy is BIG this week!!

It's very likely that you've been living a bit in your head over the last couple of days.

This is your permission slip to stop spiralling. Place your hand over your heart. Take 5 releasing breaths (inhale through nose, sigh and exhale through mouth). It's time to get back into your body.

Take 5 minutes outside to breathe in some fresh air, and let what you want to release from this year surface into your thoughts.

Write them down, and maybe burn them tomorrow night.

You don't need to carry any extra load into next year.

With love
