I am a passionate advocate for women and girls so I'm delighted that the date for this month's Yoga Nidra falls on International Women's Day

The theme this year is Give To Gain which encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Š

"When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise."

A proportion of this month's proceeds will go to the Malala Fund which focuses on countries such as Afghanistan where girls face the biggest barrier to freedom and education. The charity recently reported that the Talibanโ€™s newly issued Criminal Procedure Code creates a system of domination that denies women and girls their most basic rights โ€” including education, safety, freedom of movement and participation in public life.

Join me to rest together under the waning moon, connecting with ourselves, each other and in solidarity with women and girls all over the world.

Yoga Nidra is a deeply restful and restorative guided relaxation. All you need to do is make yourself cosy lying on the floor, on your bed or sofa with blankets and cushions and snuggle in for a long guided practice to refresh and restore.

I'm so looking forward to offering this new Chair Yoga class at Dance Connect in Kinross in March. Traditional mat based yoga classes can be intimidating for many people and the simple use of a chair can really help to demystify it all and make the movements more accessible.

Please do share with anyone who may be interested!

Thank you x

Lunar New Year ๐ŸŒ‘๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, I want to share some wise words from my Qigong teacher Mimi Kuo-Deemer: Meditation, Qigong and Internal Martial Arts on the Fire Horse. These speak to my heart and my own experience of being with horses and also finding balanced fire within. This is a photograph of one of the horses close to my house. They are prize-winning, athletic horses but also have such a quiet beauty, a serenity and a shyness that touches something deep inside me. Sometimes while out walking my dog they come close and we stand close for a while just being here together. It reminds me that our animal cousins are sometimes so much easier to be around than humans.

So as social media becomes flooded with passionate Fire Horse memes today, I invite you to reflect on these words. On how Chinese 5 Element theory is not about excess of anything. It is about learning to live in harmony with all the elements - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood - and all the beings we share this beautiful planet with. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽโ˜ฏ๏ธ

"Contrary to some predictions I've read that the Fire Horse year brings some serious horsepower of galloping energy, big changes, and big emotions, it's just as possible that this coming horse year could reflect a more balanced expression.

Let's start with horses. They rarely gallop, and only do so when startled or forced. I've seen plenty of horses in nearby pastures and even wild ponies here in England's New Forest. Most of the time, they walk slowly and graze their way through the day. When left alone, they possess a grace, alignment, and freedom that is quite captivating to witness. They are calm yet alert, and highly in tune and responsive to their environment.

Yes, but what about it being a Fire Horse year? Well... Fire is not only about intense, passionate thrill-seeking. In fact, these are signs of excessive and imbalanced Fire. In classical Chinese 5 Phase theory, healthy Fire is about connection, maturity, and calm. It's keeping good company, being spacious and relaxed, and feeling like your spirit is bright."

Mimi Kuo Deemer

(I have also included in the photos of the Plum Village parallel verses for this year. These are beautiful statements of intent for living.)

Despite the endless grey it's so nice to see the days beginning to lengthen again. The 1st of February is the Celtic Festival of Imbolc, sometimes called the 'Poets Spring'. Underground things are shifting, days are lengthening, first bulbs are blooming and the birds are beginning to shake the winter off their wings. Like all the Celtic festivals it is a beautiful time to pause and notice how it feels to begin to emerge from deep midwinter whilst at at same time considerate of our need for rest and self-care during the weeks leading up to the Spring Equinox. It is also a more reasonable time to think about gentle intentions for the year ahead.

Yoga Nidra is a deeply restful and restorative guided relaxation. All you need to do is make yourself cosy lying on the floor, on your bed or sofa with blankets and cushions and snuggle in for a long guided practice to refresh and restore.

I'd be delighted to welcome you ๐Ÿƒ

Flying Pigeon Spreads its Wings โ˜ฏ๏ธ

There's one thing about the grey January days, they really make you appreciate the blue sky when it does come.

It was a balm for the soul, practicing Qigong outside today. And the birds felt like they were stretching their wings and song just like this form.

It's a new 4 week block next week! Please send me a DM if you'd like to join us ๐Ÿ˜Š

Butterfly Wings ๐Ÿฆ‹

I learned this gorgeous flowing move from a teacher called Maite Alonso at . It feels so good for the whole body.

One of the wonderful things about Qigong outdoors is that we learn to embody creatures in the natural world and move as they do, all the while breathing in fresh air and taking in the season with our senses.

A little bit of magic each Wednesday โœจ

There is so much free stuff out there now on YouTube etc of variable quality. And the free stuff while necessary does impact the income of movement teachers who offer live and in-person classes. And let's face it we are not doing this for the money but still need to pay the bills! So I asked my students to explain the benefits they attain from attending a live Zoom Somatic Movement class with me. I was so moved to read what they wrote โค๏ธ

It was such a delight to get back to teaching on Wednesday. It fills my soul with all the good stuff ๐Ÿฅฐ

My Somatic Movement Zoom class begins again on Monday morning, 10-11am, and there are still spaces if you'd like to join us. It's recorded too so you can do it in your own time if you would prefer.๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Today I'm playing around with props at home. We don't always use them but sometimes they come in handy ...balls for hand and foot massage and books for walking practice. Today I got my cut up swimming pool noodle out. It's from my Scaravelli Yoga training days and thought I must get some more for class. They are wonderful for foot exploration and balance. Keeping things fresh and interesting really helps the brain learn.

I almost didn't share my foot pic as I noticed how aged they look, but then I saw all that lovely space between my toes and remembered all the foot work I have done over the years. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ It's all good and true!

If you are interested in finding out more please do check out my Linktree in the bio and also the lovely folks at Essential Somatics who I'm certified with.

Beginners are always welcome ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Find Healing through Yoga

This is a photo of me receiving my long awaited Teacher Training Certificate from Yoga Scotland in June 2017. After 3 long years of training, I had finally done it, a long-held dream accomplished, the relief and the joy was incredible. It was a journey of learning of course but also of growth: physical, emotional and spiritual - and one that I will remember forever. I was inspired to train to be a Yoga Teacher for many reasons but mainly due to my love of this incredible life changing practice that I had immersed myself in for the past 10 years. It has helped me manage my stress & anxiety, build strength and confidence in my body and has seen me through two pregnancies and births. Having worked as a Massage Therapist during that time I found myself recommending yoga over and over again to my clients, my passion was obvious so I took the plunge! I began teaching yoga in November 2015 while on the course, to both adults and children. It was an incredible โ€œout-of-bodyโ€ experience, I just let all the knowledge and experience I had gained flow through me, I had found my calling. I am delighted to continue to offer yoga classes in Milnathort for adults & children and also Mindfulness Courses. My style is suitable for beginners and also those looking for a softer, nurturing, slow-paced, well-supported and relaxing practice.

Do check out my page and my website to find out how yoga & mindfulness can help you! All that is needed is an open heart and mind, a willingness to try, patience in your own healing capacities and I can promise you, you wonโ€™t look back!

Namaste, Orla x
