If you’ve been sitting at your desk all day, looking at your phone or just feeling really tense around your shoulders these next few minutes might just bring a little relief for the tension that you’re experiencing.

Be mindful with your hands behind your head not to ‘pull’ on your head, just let the weight of the hands rest there as you gently ease the head forward and feel length in the back of the neck, into the cervical spine.

Bring yourself into the present moment to breathe fully.

Wiggling is of course optional!

Sunday evening scaries? Many of us and our children experience that feeling on a Sunday evening, before the start of another week on the hamster wheel.

This is an invitation to pause, breathe and ground. Using either a ‘real’ hot chocolate (drink of choice) or pretend, but bringing yourself for a few moments into the present.

Imagining the smell, taste and heat, gently exhaling to cool your drink and inhaling to smell the chocolate, marshmallows, whipped cream and sprinkles (you decide!)

I hope it brings a moment of ‘Hygge’ on this winter evening x x

I did a thing, a fairly monumental thing!

After 600 hours, with incredible learning, beautiful connections with equally talented trainees, inspirational speakers, teachers & mentors, I am now a qualified Yoga Therapist!

I am so grateful to those who have supported this stage of my eternal learning journey. The volunteers for my case studies, with their willingness to be vulnerable and open to the possibilities of this healing modality.

Yay! Just taking a moment to let this percolate and to appreciate my achievements.

I am mindful of the opportunities I have; the freedom to learn and share these practices.

Did you know our emotions have a direct impact on our body’s capacity to function fully?

Our lives are busy and full, which can lead to us becoming disconnected from the physical signs that our body sends us when it feels under threat. We can become reactive to situations that require us being able to move through one emotional state to another and come back to our ‘baseline’.

Balancing and restoring our nervous system is essential for the brain and body to work together. Learning to trust the signals of our body and improving our interpretation of the emotions we experience.

Yoga Therapy and a yoga practice helps this process. Supporting us to trust our body, integrating the feelings, sensations and emotions to find homeostasis.

Please get in touch if you’d like to discover more about yourself or help on your healing journey, I’d love to hear from you.

Happy Monday! If you need a pick me up or needing to gather energy for your week ahead, here’s a 2 min pause. Sorry about the wind!

Feel the connection to yourself, hold the energy at your heart and set a gentle intention for the day or week.

Go easy. Sending you love x x

Overwhelm is a word used frequently and it came up within several sessions I’ve had this week with both young people and adults.

We unpicked the umbrella term and all the other unsaid emotions sitting beneath. Some were hard to articulate and recognise. (We listed many more than I’ve drawn here.)

We rarely use, embrace or teach a full vocabulary and our ‘emotional language’ can be limited. We tend to use sad, happy, angry and don’t veer into the deeper layers.

I wonder how it would be to be curious about the hidden layers of ourselves, where the emotion shows up? How different emotions feel in your body? What are your physical responses to emotions?

Maybe time to pause and get curious 👀

There are a wealth of benefits to the practice of Yoga Therapy and NO, you do not need to be experienced in yoga at all.

🌈 Yoga Therapy can:
help reduce stress, anxiety & depression;
bring relief to chronic pain;
restore energy & improve mobility;
support menopause & life transitions.

🕊️ This is a therapeutic model that blends mindful body connection, breath work, relaxation and dialogue. We would work together to create a programme that meets your needs, calms your nervous system and leaves you on the pathway to a more aligned, vibrant version of yourself.

✨ Please get in touch to find out more, sessions available in person and on-line.

2 minutes for your beautiful body to ground. Perfect for ANY time of the day when you’re feeling rushed, worried or overwhelmed. Granted, you might not be near the sea but you can take 2 minutes….. this works really well for children too and helps you and them to be present in the maelstrom of life! 🩵

Take a breath in and slow exhale, land in your body. Bring yourself to the present moment to name:

🌈 5 things you can see
🍂 4 things you can touch/feel
🌸 3 things you can hear
🕊️ 2 things you can smell
✨ 1 thing you can taste

“The practice of yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being.” Sri Aurobindo

Yoga invites us to explore these layers with compassion rather than judgment, on and off the mat.

To witness our inner world with curiosity and yoga therapy is a beautiful practice in which to do this. We can honour the gentle, intricate complexity that makes us who we are.

In this soft noticing, healing begins. 💛 I’d love to hear from you if you feel this therapeutic experience is for you x

So….. feeling like a right old 🍌putting this up, but hey-ho! A life lesson in not taking myself too seriously.

However, the ‘serious’ note behind it is the importance of taking time to FEEL into your body, how do you actually FEEL? Physically and emotionally?

Can you take 2 minutes to experience a smile (even at my expense), invigoration and a sense of wellbeing?

The breath of joy can be energising for the body and nervous system, fabulous if you, like me, are feeling a little sluggish or glum. This practice circulates your prana (energy) and stokes your internal fire (agni).

*Please avoid if you have high blood pressure or if you suffer from any kind of head or eye injury, like migraines or glaucoma.*

Let me know how you get on and an eclectic mix of clothing is optional!😉

I offer you a metta prayer of loving kindness:

May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease.

May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease.

May all beings be happy. May all beings be well. May all beings be safe. May all beings be peaceful and at ease.

Metta is first practiced toward ourselves, as it’s often difficult to truly love others if we struggle to offer that same kindness inward.

In a loving-kindness meditation, we begin by connecting to the intention of wishing ourselves or others happiness.

There’s no need to force emotion or sentiment, just rest in the simple wish.

If feelings of warmth, tenderness, or love begin to arise in the body or mind, gently connect to them. Let them expand, soften, and flow — a quiet reminder that compassion begins within. 🌿
