Ever feel like life is pulling you in a hundred directions?
Grounding practices bring us back to the stability and safety of the present moment.

Three ways I feel more grounded:
1. Connect to my body - this might be a walk (no more running for now 😭), a strength session or yoga! Your body is your anchor — come home to it.

2. Connect to nature - Step outside. Notice the air, the sky, the soil. Even a few minutes with your bare feet on the ground can reset your nervous system. this is a great time of year to notice nature, with all the leaves changing colour.

3. Connect to gratitude - I’ll admit that my journalling practice fell away when I found out I was pregnant and navigating a lot of emotions. I’m pleased to come back to it, especially my gratitude practice. When you feel scattered, pause and name three things you’re thankful for — big or small. Gratitude shifts your focus from chaos to calm.

Grounding isn’t about escaping the world — it’s about remembering that you belong to it.

Which of these grounding practices will you try today?

How my practice has changed during pregnancy

Yes, my friends - I am pregnant. Part of the reason I’ve been quiet posting on here is because of monumental upheavals, including pregnancy, and also I just haven’t felt like it. It came as a huge surprise after a lot of issues and quite frankly, giving up, and to be honest, I did grieve my life that I’d built up.

I haven’t felt much like anything. Including practicing yoga. That’s the first way my practice has changed!

The first trimester was rough, and I had hoped I’d get that energy surge in the second, but I haven’t. I also haven’t felt more flexible in my body, and overall I just don’t feel ✨magical ✨

But when I do practice, how has it changed?

Well, I’m certainly not doing a full primary. I’m skipping chaturangas and upward facing dog and doing cat/cow instead.

I’m keeping my feet placement wide in standing postures - and instead of a warrior 1 I’m doing a wide stance high lunge.

Seated postures are mainly focused on the hip openers. Janu A is like a wide legged version, and I’m not even contemplating Janu B and C!

Ultimately my practice has changed because I’m no longer feeling guilty about what I’m not doing, and instead celebrating on the days I want to do something. I’m meditating a lot more, my non-negotiable is in bed by 9:30pm and sleeping an extra hour.

I do wish I could do a full primary or even just a 60 min class but I know now is not the time. If you are pregnant or have been pregnant and have guilty about the things you haven’t been doing I give you permission to stop right now! If you haven’t felt ✨magical ✨I’m here to tell you I’m right there with you and know how you feel.

Your experience is yours and you do not have to do and feel what someone else expects of you.

You can take this journey in whichever way is best for you.
