Thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Sitting and thinking about how to deliver a presentation on GP resilience through the Yoga Therapy lens was initially daunting.
After working on it for hours I decided to flow through things like this:

💙 Introductions & background of Jane Craggs & myself
🤍 Holistic Statics

‼️ 66.4% of GPs work outside of their scheduled hours most or everyday
‼️ 81.8% of GPs reported musculoskeletal complaints in their neck, shoulder and back
‼️ Over 40% of GPs stated they are likely to be working in General Practice in 5 years

💙 What is Yoga Therapy
🤍 Breathing Practice
💙 Standardised outcomes of my Wellbeing Clinic at Hilltop GP surgery
🤍 Non standardised outcomes of my Staff Resilience sessions at Hilltop GP surgery
💙 Desk Yoga Practice
🤍 Habit & Change: Simple tools for a busy day
💙 Habit & Change: Simple tools at home
🤍 Partnership Working

We got some brilliant feedback immeadiately ☺️

Here’s to looking after the ones who look after us—

💙 🤍 Be kind to your GPs / GP staff 🤍 💙

🫶🏽 Supporting our GPs Wellbeing 🫶🏽

We recently had the pleasure of speaking at the West Penning Local Medical Committee presenting, “Yoga Therapy for GP Resilience” with Move & Heal CIC.

It was an eye opening experience for us to hear the enormous pressures GPs are facing from patients to funders and the impact this is having on the profession.

Dr Samira Anane delivered an incredible talk on her work in the community advocating for the presence of GPs in policy making, the battle to protect patient safety and the need for GP unity, strength & alliance in the political landscape. It totally blew Jane & I away.

In our session we consciously chose to explore how even small steps towards wellbeing can make a meaningful difference in sustaining resilience in high pressured, intense working conditions.

We focused on small, practical strategies for holistic wellbeing— the concept of aggregation of marginal gains.

The feedback from the session was wonderful:
"Thank you very much to you and Jane for your brilliant presentation. It was very well received by the GPs."— Jane Hill, LMC Liaison Officer

We’re passionate about supporting healthcare professionals and are available to deliver sessions at conferences, workshops, or team wellbeing events.

If your team or event could benefit from a practical, holistic approach to resilience, we’d love to connect.

Here's a full hour of free mat Yoga with me, available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/qrBEpTPix2Q

Theme is Glimmers:
I've been reading about them recently… that Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They are considered to be tiny moments that evoke a sense of wonder, perhaps joy, moments that invite us to pause and connect with the present, even if just for a split second. In my mind they are a sense of an inner light, awakening feelings of peace and calm, nurturing your mind and body with their warm glow.

Glimmers are micro moments of wonder, offering a shift in mood that can send soothing cues to your nervous system, signalling that it is safe. They give you permission to feel a sense of ease and contentment, even in hard times. It’s thought that glimmers have a positive effect on mental health, helping to increase your overall sense of wellbeing.

As always... enjoy your practice and be kind.
