Where Your Focus Goes, Energy Flows.
Practicing Yoga helped me establish a deeper level of joy and ease in my body and mind. I notice when I don't do it, especially as I get older!
Given all the proverbial lemons we've been handed throughout our lives, we tend to not bounce back as quickly anymore.
Taking care of ourselves is often the first thing that goes out the window, so we need to learn how to cultivate that consistency muscle again and create a new discipline, but also learn mindfulness and compassion towards ourselves.
Worry not, my friend, it doesn't mean we have to spend hours and hours doing even more work. As part of a continuous practice, even if it's only 15mins a day, we're able to find a greater awareness of where we're at. We can slowly let go of tension and tightness, whilst developing or maintaining our physical strength and ease in any imbalanced areas.
So even or especially for the times we feel "less than", the practice offers to become a continuous reminder of the beauty, the wisdom and intelligence within, realising how powerful we really are.
By focusing your energy inward, you will embark on that journey of realising just that within yourself. And it will do so on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
And for that, I wish you the world of goodness. I'm here for you and look forward to connecting with you.
Warm Ups
One of the beautiful benefits of our practice is that it helps us get centred quickly and stay that way throughout our day. Warm-up body and mind, by checking in mentally & emotionally, and then clearing any cobwebs in your muscles and tissues for more ease within your stride.
Find your breath, notice where you're at right now and get focused on your intention for your practice.
Strength & Stability
Both stability and strength help to create greater integrity around the ever so important relationship between joints and muscles in your body:
Through balanced muscular effort we not only move with more ease and safety. We also encourage a greater range of motion and flexibility as a result.
Cool Downs
Enjoy the slower pace of these sessions as a healing tonic for your nervous system.
Notice the difference as you simply allow yourself to be in the postures, to actively or passively support your body in its recovery. May that be from your running or just from a full on week of life!
I recommend including these as a regular part of your practice following a busy, heady day or any training you might be doing.

"Yoga is the rule book for playing the game of Life, but in this game no one needs to lose.
It is tough, and you need to train hard. It requires the willingness to think for yourself, to observe and correct, and to surmount occasional setbacks. It demands honesty, sustained application, and above all love in your heart."
- BKS Iyengar
