Love this quote. Allowing myself all the feelings, being present and living life to the full. Feeling very blessed 🙏🏼

Playing around with the arm balance called crow. It’s not perfect but I’m celebrating coming this far and giving it a go. Learning to trust that we won’t fall is the secret to allowing ourselves to fly.

The opposite of anxiety isn’t calm, it’s
TRUST

Not stillness.
Not silence.
Not pretending the storm isn’t real.
Trust.
The kind that doesn’t ask for proof.
The kind that shows up when nothing else makes sense.
The kind that lives in your body, long before your head catches up.
Trust that everything is going to be ok.
And it will.

Binding yoga poses enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and focus and opening the chest and shoulders releases physical and emotional tension. These poses deepen the mind-body connection by requiring more concentration and awareness to maintain proper alignment and to find stillness within the challenge of the stretch. You should always listen to your body and go with your breath, if you feel that you can’t maintain slow rhythmical breathing or it doesn’t feel right, come out of the pose and find a more comfortable position. Yoga is never about what it looks like, and alway about how it feels in your body.

Peace, purpose, and binds

I was very lucky to attend a fabulous workshop on the history and philosophy of yoga with &
My take away from the afternoon is how the asanas (poses) are a small part of yoga. For us to feel a real purpose and connection in life, we need to live in a yogic way and do everything with ‘wholeness’ so as not to short change ourselves or others. And we need to do this in every part of our life, not just on our yoga mat. Meditating for only 3-12 minutes a day helps us to create the quiet and calm we need in order for us to find the answers to our questions. It can be hard to sit still but by practising the yoga poses we strengthen our body and this strength helps us to be able to sit still and hold the wisdom that we find.
Let’s do everything with ‘wholeness’ this month and be our true authentic selves, feeling energised, present and grateful for what we have.
If you want to read more, two books I recommend are Living the Sutras by Kelly Dinarfo and Amy Pearce Hayden and From the Vedas to Vinyasa by Amy Vaughn.
I hope to see you on the mat soon.

Joy isn’t a destination; it’s a daily decision. It’s choosing to notice what’s good even when everything isn’t great. It’s sipping your morning coffee slowly, saying thank you for small wins, and finding something to laugh about even when life feels heavy. The truth is, there will always be unfinished business, unanswered questions, and unhealed parts but that doesn’t mean you can’t experience joy now. You don’t have to wait for the perfect version of your life to love your life. Happiness doesn’t live in someday. It lives in the moments you stop rushing through.
- Vex King

Have you ever noticed your mind spiralling, thinking of all the things that might happen and starting to feel exhausted 😅 It feels much lighter when we can slow down and appreciate what we have, noticing the small things that bring us joy into the day 🥰

I think one of the best feelings ever is when you become your own best friend. Having that inner voice championing you, wishing you luck and being 100% supportive means you feel great and can achieve more than you ever thought possible
