September! The month of change, of new starts, new beginnings, and the unknown new road ahead.
If you have children going back to school, maybe moving into a new, bigger school, or maybe leaving school altogether, I get it, it feels unsettling and you maybe feeling a bit lost.
Maybe this is the first time you have stood at that school gate with a little hand held tight in your hand, each as nervous and unsure as each other what the future will look like for both them and you?
Take comfort in this; that when you let go of who you think you are now - the parent, keeper, protector of this little one who you have brought from baby in arms to this big moment of change - and step into who you might be, it will not disappoint!
Yes it's scary. Take it from one who struggles with feeling comfortable with my little ones growing up away from me, and questions 'who will I be when they don't need me any more?' but, with every year they grow taller, more independent, more adult and stop needing a new shoe size, l learn that I too must grow, shift, learn and develop too. And what if, you let that fizz of nerves become a fizz of excitement instead?
Come and feel supported in your new journey by putting something new into your routine, (or maybe revisiting something old).
My yoga classes begin after drop-off at Washington Village Hall on Tues, Weds and Thursdays at 9.30am (enough time for a natter at the gate before it starts) and I also teach in the evenings on Wednesday.
Yoga is way more than just 'exercise'. It will help you feel grounded and supported in your mind as well as your body. It will help you build trust in yourself where you feel lost, and as you put something back into you, you begin to see the other possibilities..
