Classes this week were all about welcoming the light.

We used a beautiful hand gesture called ‘Ushas Mudra’. Also known as "Gesture of the Dawn," it’s aim is to boost energy and creativity. It also promotes new beginnings by stimulating the second chakra (Swadhisthana).

With it being Valentine’s Day today,classes this coming week are all about love. But not romantic love. We will be working with self compassion and self love based practices throughout your classes this week.

For those who would like to join,here is my current timetable:

♥️ Sunday @ 5.10 (vinyasa - 1 space available)

💓 Sunday @ 6 and 7.05 (hatha meditative)

♥️ Monday @ 9.25 (yin)

💓 Monday @ 10.30, 6 and 7.05 (hatha meditative)

♥️ Tuesday @ 5.55 and 7 (hatha meditative)

I’m having a giggle listening to the radio talking about a Friday the 13th segment.

It brought to mind some funny memories with my frequent partner in crime Gill,from 56 Central Restaurant. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday - many years ago now - when the DJ put on Rihanna’s Umbrella. ☔️

Props always make an already fun moment more fun!

Cue a frantic rush outside to grab an umbrella so we could frolic on the dance floor. Didn’t buy into superstition then. Don’t buy into it now.

Gill, we can definitely work this into a Shake the Dust/ Somatic yoga sequence 😹

10 years ago today, this little soul made me a mammy.

There's something significant about the 10 year mark. A whole decade of life. In ways, it feels like yesterday that she arrived to me in all her glory. In other ways, I can't remember my life without her.

I recall so clearly saying to my husband when I was pregnant; I don't want to be defined as just a mum. I never really saw myself as the maternal sort. And I had such a brilliant life - footloose and fancy free.

But my oh my, when that little person arrived into my arms after a very long labour - nearly three days in total - it was like I never wanted to let her go. It turned out she enhanced my world. Not defined it.

I remember in those early days of night feeds, bone tired but so so deeply in love. I would while hours away just staring at her in absolute wonder. Observing every single nuance of her skin. Her downie hair. Her big blue eyes. Her baby snuffles. I had never experienced a love quite like it. I could have looked at her forever.

The last 10 years have had so many ups. Peppered with a few significant downs. My amazing 10 year old has been through more than many her age have. She's not had it easy. But as I say to her, all these marks help make her who she is. Her spirit. Her laughter. Her pain. Her resilience. Her determination. Her fortitude. I wonder if she would be the same without them? Likely not and all shades and tones of her inner landscape help shine her outer light into the world. And boy, that light is bright. She has had experiences that I would not wish on anyone, but that contribute towards making my girl so utterly, utterly wonderful, compassionate and wise beyond her years. She is and will always be my greatest teacher (alongside her wonderful sister who came after her).

Happy birthday my beautiful Sosi. Truly the light of my life. Apple of my eye. I am in awe of all that you have worked through and are becoming. I am one proud Mumma. And I love you to the moon and back.

Everyone needs someone like Viv in their lives. Every year our lovely neighbour outdoes her previous cake iterations for my girls …. We’ve got a birthday tomorrow for my big girl and this is what we are excited about getting stuck into. (It’s in honour of the 12 guinea pigs that are part of our pet family)

Viv could (but doesn’t ) make cakes for a living. But she is a seriously talented artist. Check out her page Vivienne McBride, Artist and give her a ‘follow’

My nieces think I'm a witch. I've been called worse! (Nothing at all to do with the fact that on New Year's eve, I got them howling at the moon whilst burning their crap from the year). It doesn't matter that they are only 4 and 6. Get them whilst they're young!!!!

This weekend I put my witchy leanings into practice. I had the absolute privilege of celebrating Imbolc with a wonderful circle of women.

😆 There was laughter

😭 There was tears

🧙 We cackled (well maybe not. But it seemed appropriate for the purpose of the post)

🌺 We purged and we sowed seeds for new beginnings.

Through it all, we celebrated returning to light and honoured the rhythm of our cycles.

The next event will be Ostara (Spring Equinox,new beginnings)

🧙 Easter Sunday April 5th 9.30-13.30

And then Beltaine (The Fire festival)

🧙 Sunday May 3rd 9.15 - 13.15

All events will include seasonal and celebratory somatic yoga,yoga nidra,yin yoga,soundbath and journaling. And they are all women only events.

🧙 (There is also a repeat Imbolc event on 1/3 : 9.15-13.15- a few spaces still remaining)

If you want to get first refusal (after previous attendees), drop a line to amy@elementshypnotherapy.com for more information.

I'm pretty limited in my ability to use tech, but managed to get Chat GBT to create this image as my witchy self to remind my little niecies of our immense power!

A slightly different set up for YIN yoga this morning! My Imbolc altar is still set up from yesterday so I’ll be making the most of it in classes this week

Yin yoga is Mondays at 9.25. It’s a brand new class and there’s space for those of you who would like to join us.

Start your week gently with this beautiful class 💓

Well my heart is absolutely full.

Today I shared space with 18 other women as we celebrated the Imbolc and the transition from winter into spring

As the festival of Imbolc arrives, the energies transform. The Cailleach - Goddess of Winter shape shifts into Brigid the Maiden.

Today’s celebration was powerful

⭐ We moved

🪩 We danced

💪 We punched

🦵 We stomped

🌧️ We unleashed the shackles of winter

We embraced the subtle interplay of our feminine and masculine energies.

It was so powerful and as I always am - especially during somatic yoga - I was humbled with your generosity in sharing your energy. It was that,that made the day so special.

I’m off home to replenish. I’m not going to lie,I’m wrecked!!!

And for those who would like to celebrate Spring with me,there’s availability for the 1st of March 9.15-13.15.

I’m so excited to do it all again.
