The concept of equilibrium can be found in Ayurveda (yoga's sister science) and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

With equilibrium
in mind, the summer solstice can be a time to celebrate yin(soothing, cooling) qualities to balance Summer’s Pitta Dosha (the fire element energy) .

“Everything in Life is Vibration” – Albert Einstein…
we will explore vibration and resonance in our bodies and minds as we connect breath, sound and vibration in yoga to switch on the vagus nerve ( main nerve of relaxation response- putting us into rejuvenation, digestion and social mode )!and eventually moving towards bliss state as we explore Nada yoga and inner sound.
Join me this Sunday at the Rookery in chapel Allerton. Booking link in bio. It’d be lovely to see you there.

Why are lunges so great?
They help us maintain optimal breathing diaphragm movement (allowing easy breath and therefore calms the emotions).
They protect us from sciatica and can help ease it too.
They help to keep the body in postural alignment.
They promote balance and strength. Amongst lots more.

Start or finish the day with a simple lunge or add a twist . Your whole body will thank you for it.

Nature's telling us it's time to rest, restore and give ourselves permission to just be.

The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.

Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.
And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.

"Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth".
. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight

Life is a gift ❤ a Happy winter to you all...
