No yoga tonight, but I’ll be looking at the stars ✨💫⭐️🌟

Today is the longest day (Summer Solstice) and when the sun goes down the planets will be putting on a show! 🌟

Look up tonight about an hour after sunset (weather permitting) as Jupiter and Saturn come so close together they will almost look like a single shining planet or 'Christmas Star'

Today is summer solstice, it's usually on December 22, however as it's a leap year today will be the longest day and the shortest night!

I guess the weather gods have made that decision. No yoga today, we’ll try again next week 😇🌧

14/12/2020

Weather permitting we’ll try for a stretch in the park on Tuesday evening at 6.30pm. I’ll make a decision at 5pm tomorrow. In the meantime I’m grateful for any rain we get! ☔️🙏😇

There’s a possibility of rain 🌧 tomorrow evening 🤞so we’ll try for a restorative class in the park on Tuesday night @ 6.30pm. Hope you can join me 😇

A few good words here! Thanks Tammy. 😇

Tuesday Challenge ~ Had a few people mention this week in our programs & training about feeling sensitive (I often feel it too around the full moon)
We can all get the Wobblies now & then (or again & again😉) Especially around the full moon.
Developing a SELF CARE ACTION PLAN is a good idea to stay on track with some reminders of how you personally meet some basic CORE NEEDS :

1. Sense of Safety/Security (the basics feed yourself properly so you don’t get hangry for eg, get enough sleep and WATER! & MOVE)

2. Connection (seek out people that genuinely care about you ..... there’s more of them than your nasty mind often tells you😉) ~ think I should go eat worms mind ....you know that mind.

3. Contentment (Do the things you enjoy) ~ it’s no one else’s responsibility to see that your needs are met . But there definitely are some great people out there cheering you on!!
And although it’s no one else’s responsibility it is healthy to reach out
(Vulnerability strength training ~ hate asking for help myself but it is necessary )

At times our negative core beliefs can pop up when we least expect them (eg full moon😉) or when your buttons are pressed.

Treat these feelings as Special Guests like you would people you love and care about.

Who knows it could be these feelings that when treated with curiosity & kindness can steer you in the direction of fulfilling your own core needs.

It maybe that you decide to reach out to a friend or even a stranger and in doing so you may have helped them to.

Just by being real
Just by being you

The first step is to pop a full stop on the mind chatter that has you in doubt

Stop, breathe and inquire ~ What’s the need that is not being met?
What is it really all about?

Quite often it’s simple & a basic human need.

Yet many of us will have a habit to push the discomfort of a need not being met away.....drinking , working harder or smoking w**d.

Believing we have the skills to meet our own needs.
Takes consciously looking at thought, word & deed.

Believing we have support is also important & matters a lot
To just be there to listen to remind you incase you forgot....
You are human!

Hi yogis! A bit of lightning around so I think I’d better cancel tonight. Hopefully we’ll get some rain out of it! 🙏

Thanks for your recent messages asking for classes!So let’s dust off the yoga mats and get back into it. Who’s keen to join me in the park on Tuesday evening at 6.30pm for a gentle session? Bring your mat, water bottle and a sense of humour - it’s been a long time between classes! Will follow up with a full moon class next Monday (30th). 😇🙏🧘‍♂️

Hi there yogis! 🧘‍♀️ Don’t know about you but my head’s been spinning so much with the tragic events and upheavals to our lives over the last few weeks!😢 Making sure family and friends are doing okay, lots of FaceTiming, learning to set up Zoom 🧐 and dealing with all of the other stresses of our previously normal lives has been hectic! How are you all coping? As this crazy life becomes our new normal I’m thankful that I can still get out into the fresh air for a run or ride or just to calm the mind in nature. I’m quite enjoying the slower life and earlier nights, I’ve been learning to cook 👩‍🍳 again and have been tuning into some online yoga classes. Trying to find some positives amongst the chaos! What’s helping you keep calm right now? Keep healthy, stay safe and look after your loved ones. Will post again soon. 😇🙏🌈

Holidays are over and I’m very grateful for the time off that I’ve had and the beautiful memories that have been made. But now it’s time to re-group so this week I’ll be leading a gentle flow in the park while the weather’s still warm. Hope you can join me on Wednesday evening at 5.45pm. Please let me know if you’re keen. 😇🙏
