Before recording my recent podcast, What's Your Tonic? - “The Power of Saying Yes,” I took a moment to reflect on the times I’ve said yes — to new situations, opportunities, and experiences that took me well outside my comfort zone.

Some of those moments felt uncertain at first. Yet, each “yes” has shaped me — boosting my confidence, broadening my perspective, and deepening my sense of wellbeing.

Saying yes isn’t about being reckless or overcommitting. It’s about being open — to learning, connecting, and growing. Every yes is an invitation to stretch the edges of who we are and what we’re capable of.

✨ When we say yes:
We build confidence by proving to ourselves that we can do hard things.
We nurture connection, often meeting people who challenge and inspire us.
We create momentum, discovering opportunities we might otherwise have missed.
And importantly, we strengthen our wellbeing — through purpose, curiosity, and a sense of progress.
If you take a moment to think about it, what’s one time you said yes — and it changed you for the better? How did it impact your mindset, your relationships, your wellbeing?

Not long until the new season starts!

(in the Northern Hemisphere that is)....

This is one of my favourite stretches as it builds strength in the standing leg but also releases tightness in the hips and glutes.

After a day on the slopes this stretch will really aid your recovery and hopefully reduced the stiffness the next morning.

You can always use a chair to help with the balance or to go deeper into the fold.

We often think about decluttering items have been hidden away in the corner of our homes that we once used, but for one reason or another we no longer use.

Have you considered doing that as part of our day to day lives?

Indeed we can declutter the things in our life that could well be the cause of stress. By doing so we can free up time in our day to day lives and create time for more positive actions.

Why not declutter the to do list and focus on what is really important.

The process of decluttering supports the action or process of unwanting by simplifing our lifestyle and habits are important to you.

This is short clip taken from our What's Your Tonic? Podcast focusing on Unwanting.

Is Your Friend Okay? Watch for These Communication Changes

Back in May the theme for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week was Community and how it important is is for maintaining a positive mental health but also in supporting those that may be struggling with it.

Knowing what to look for, or recognising potential signals that someone maybe struggling, is part all of our responsibility in the communities that we are in.

How people communicate often changes based on someone's mental state of mind. In this short clip, I outline a few queues that offer indications of someone's change in mental health. These are of course not exclusive, but can offer a reminder to us all.

Being part of the community, fostering a sense of belonging, really does have a positive impact on our mental health; firstly in terms of maintaining a positive state of mind, but then also in way with which we can support eachother.

Stamina and Strength

Enjoy skiing longer, further and harder

Glute strength is so important to ensure you can keep skiing throughout the day. Unsurprisingly Chair Pose is a great way to build both strength and stamina.

This is short clip from one of our Yoga SkiFit classes, that are included in the SkiFit progam.

We want people to make the most of their time in mountains - getting SkiFit will help you do that!

Our Story

Yoga Tonic UK is comprised of Tim and Shannon Phillis who are both RYT200 yoga teachers (YogaLondon). We teach classes from our home gym in Cookham, near Maidenhead and Marlow. Tim has enjoyed sports all his life, starting with team sports in school through to ultra-distance running and triathlon. After suffering a knee injury, Tim took up yoga to strengthen the muscles around his knee and core. Tim is a mindful teacher and has vast experience coaching teams, triathlon clubs and circuits classes. Shannon has had a love of running and cycling for years and started taking up yoga regularly when moving to the UK from California in 2000. Shannon always wanted to become a yoga teacher but got distracted with triathlon, where she met her husband in the slow swimmers lane at Fulham pools. Yoga used to be a supplement rather than a training session but if ever missing a week of yoga, the muscles would feel it. Tim and Shannon now believe that yoga can be a training session on it's own but instead of just focusing the body, it also focuses the mind improving overall well being (a bit cliche but true). All are welcome and feedback is always appreciated!
