I was really interested to find out more on the health benefits of eating grapefruits or drinking grapefruit juice after listening to a podcast about cortisol levels. We want cortisol levels to be highest in the morning to get us going and lowest in the evenings to promote sleep. Having a grapefruit (in any form) as part of your morning routine works to keep cortisol levels raised when we need to work/train/think. This article gives loads of other reasons why we should consume more grapefruit.

An easy way to boost energy levels, fight fatigue, and achieve optimal health - eating juicy and delicious grapefruit will keep you incredibly healthy.

Inspired by the landscape & tranquility of Argyll I have put together a yummy yoga sequence which is focussed much more on feeling than 'achieving'.
You'll be invited to be more tuned in to your body and to move in ways that feel intuitive to you. We'll be using our big yoga bolsters and with any luck be practicing in the garden at Riverside Hall.
Class is on Easter Monday 9.30am. Suited to all levels. A warm welcome awaits!

Just listened to an interesting podcast from The Huberman Lab
https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/how-to-use-music-to-boost-motivation-mood-and-improve-learning
which explores how music has the capacity to evoke such a profound emotional response in us.
And who best to tailor music which enhances storytelling than those who make music for cinematic soundtracks.

We could make a wee retreat of this or call it our Christmas night out. Please let me know if you'r interested and I'll see if we can get a group booking. X

Announcing an exciting new collaborative workshop coming up!

Sound-body Synergy: A sound bath with touch and movement.

This is the offering of Iain Ross, Glasgow Sound Bath, and Lucy Trend, Shiatsu and Thai Massage Training Scotland, who combine their skills to create this unique experience of Sound Body Synergy.

Iain Ross brings together many years of experience as a musician, sound therapist and healer to facilitate a heightened flow-state of alert presence and deep relaxation.

Originally a dance and movement artist, Lucy brings hands-on mindful touch skills from her Shiatsu and Thai Massage background to guide a deeply embodied and somatic experience of the sound.
