Yoga with Verity

Cultivating our own peace and joy isn't selfish. My experience today was that it lead me to greater connection and capacity to be there for those around me. I wonder if you feel the same?

I also want to add that if you're having a tough week and joy feels out of reach, I'm thinking of you. Maybe this is your time to receive that love.

I hope you give yourself grace and offer yourself a small kindness today. 🩷

If you're looking for a space to be held and supported, I hope to see you on the mat.

Intention: I look for moments that help me smile and connect.

In tough times, sometimes the smallest glimmer of light or laughter gets us to the next moment.

Is there a person, place, animal or activity that never fails to make you smile? Let me know in the comments!

Have you forgotten how to have fun?

Creating space for joy isn't shallow or selfish.

And I believe we shouldn’t write-off joy, fun and positivity because there’s darkness, heaviness and sadness in our lives.

Why can’t we have both (¿por que no los dos?)

In fact, I’d go so far as to say we CAN’T have one without the other.

I love to sprinkle humour and silly moments into my yoga classes - not because I'm invalidating the mayhem of life and the world... But because it's critical to our wellbeing and how we connect with others!

I was relieved to find there are actual studies* on this showing increased engagement with leisure activities lowers blood pressure and cortisol (stress hormones), and improves physical function.

PLUS, there's a positive correlation with psychosocial states (our mental wellbeing in a social and relationship context) and lower levels of depression.

I know life is a pile of poo sometimes. And at the same time, where can we glimmer that playful, joyful and connected side of ourself?
