Yoga with Louise George

I wanted to share this amazing TED talk by my lovely friend (and past student) Hilary.

It’s very much in line with the message from my restorative class last Sunday night - that resting is not lazy. ESPECIALLY at this time of year!

Please give it a listen and a share if you can 🙏

So many of us are exhausted — physically, mentally, and emotionally — yet we’re taught to keep pushing.In this TEDx Talk, Hilary Rose reveals why rest is a r...

I’ve worked with so many women (and men) who have been through this process of unravelling. The deconstructing of the person they felt they ought to be and the recovering and the remembering of the authentic self, the inner child, the soul essence, and the human being they were meant to be, not the one they were moulded into.

It’s a lot to process when the work begins and my poem doesn’t do that process justice, but I decided to share it anyway.

My hope is that we all start to do this inner excavation work much earlier in our lives, and the amount of young girls, women and men currently coming my way for counselling and mentoring gives me tremendous hope for the next generations that they will 🩷

What is a mentor?

“A mentor is someone who offers guidance, support, and wisdom to help another person (the mentee) grow — personally, professionally, or both.

Here’s a breakdown of what that can look like:
• Experience-sharer: A mentor has usually walked a similar path before and shares their insights, mistakes, and lessons learned to help the mentee navigate challenges more smoothly.

• Guide (not a boss): Unlike a teacher or manager, a mentor doesn’t direct or evaluate — they support and encourage.

• Sounding board: They listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help the mentee clarify their own goals and decisions.

• Connector: They might introduce the mentee to useful people, resources, or opportunities.

• Cheerleader: They believe in the mentee’s potential and help build confidence.

In short:

A mentor is a trusted ally who helps you see what’s possible and supports you in becoming your best self — through honest conversation, encouragement, and shared experience.

⭐️ Take your health in your hands this winter! 🙌

I’m so delighted to introduce this talk with my fantastic friend (and personal health advisor!) nutritionist & iridologist Tim Browne.

Tim has over 40 years of experience in the field and his knowledge and insight into all things health and nutrition is endless. His talks are quickly becoming quite legendary in our local area as he has such a colourful and entertaining way of explaining things.

Tim is definitely on a mission to improve the health of as many people as he possibly can in as short a time as possible!!

This talk will be an in-person event on Sunday 5th October at Garryduff Sports Centre from 2-4pm (but keep your eyes peeled for an online event in the near future!)

On the day Tim will be discussing the best ways to protect and support your immune system as we move into the winter months.
In particular he will be explaining how your gut microbiome impacts your brain health, hormone health and your immune system in general.

You will come away with lots of solid takeaways from this talk and some very practical solutions to suit your personal health needs. Handouts will be provided and there will be time for questions and answers at the end.

The cost is €20 on the door (but please also let me know via DM if you’re coming)

✨✨BEFRIEND YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM ✨✨ - Sunday 14th September from 1.30pm-4.30pm

I’ve run this workshop several times before and it’s always been a great success!

Here is what Kate said:

“I haven’t stopped spreading the word about the Befriend Your Nervous System workshop!
It was so interesting, insightful and above all practical for looking after your body and mind.
An afternoon of true self-care.”

Take a few hours out for yourself to connect your mind and body, and to learn some simple tools that will help you soothe and regulate your nervous system!

It is a 3 hour workshop combining some mindful movement with a short talk and discussion, sharing of useful tools for calming and de-stressing, and ending with a relaxing yoga nidra.

No experience is necessary.

There will be refreshments and nibbles provided during a short break.

The workshop will take place at Douglas Yoga Centre in Maryborough Woods estate in the heart of Douglas village in Cork. We have free parking right outside the door and a bus stop very close to the studio.

Please message me to book a spot on 086 3627370 or go to www.bookwhen.com/louisegeorge

Too good not to reshare.

Posted • .seaman Every quote in this post held a piece of my story.⁣
⁣
And maybe yours too.⁣
⁣
Childhood trauma doesn’t always leave bruises. Sometimes it leaves silence, shame, and the belief that your needs were “too much.”⁣
⁣
Sometimes the most powerful breakthroughs comes from reading the words you weren’t allowed to say as a child.⁣
⁣
These quotes do just that, they name the silence you lived with, the pain no one noticed, and the grief you held alone.⁣
⁣
Reading words like these reminds me…⁣
⁣
What happened was real. And it wasn’t your fault.⁣
⁣
And please remember:⁣
⁣
You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You were always seen, especially now.⁣
⁣
Which quote do you resonate with you the most? Let’s talk in the comments. ⁣

OR... If any of these resonates with you drop a ❤️ and share this with someone who might need to hear it today.
