Listen to your body! Or maybe not- mine is pretty clear at letting me know it wants to be fat and unemployed lol. BUT I can assure you that yoga and nourishing from within could be just what you need, compared to the usual Netflix and slowly decay.

Hope to see you!! Please take advantage of our free community offering ❤🧡

🌅THE YAMAS: the first limb of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, originating from the ancient Indian philosophical text 'The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali'

Kidnapper: Wow you're too fat to fit in the boot of my car.
*drives off*

[Later]

Police officer: Did he hurt you?

Me, tearing up: So bad, honestly.

Ahimsa is the first yama, and is roughly translated as nonviolence. I assume you're not an overly violent person (unless you're out there choosing pulp in your orange juice, wow that's outright violence), but as Iyengar states, "violence is a state of mind"; it isn't just about not physically harming ourselves, or others, or the world, but also not thinking negative thoughts towards ourselves or others.

Examples of Ahimsa:
🌼Can you enter a pose peacefully?
🌼Can you attempt a challenging shape, whilst holding compassion in your mind if you struggle?
🌼Can you pop a bug outside when its lost its way, rather than squishing it 😪?
🌼Can you maintain a feeling of love and peace when your cat has s**t all over the carpet?

So, be kind to strangers. You never know if they're rich and eccentric and might put you in their will. Lol I joke. Be kind to yourself (I recommend grilled cheese by phone light- follow me for more self-care tips). Be kind to the planet.

See if you can honour Ahimsa both on, and off the mat today.

1love, stay blessed 💓

[During lockdown on the sofa watching Netflix]

[Through a mouthful of biscuits] but how do you get past the never falling in love thing again?????

S**t happens to all of us. Not everyone is out there to support you. Not everyone will stay. Life is about finding peace in that.

HOWEVER it's a pretty human thing to ruminate on it (wyd 3am pull up to my crib for an anxiety party), or resent and resist anything that contradicts our self-definition, or who we want to be.

Replaying past failures in your mind over and over again only serves in programming you to continue to fail. Our thoughts and feelings are energy- they emit vibrations and what we continually send out.. we get reflected back (not woo woo but actually quantum physics). Therefore whatever we give our attention to, grows and GROWS.

Forgiving will not erase the wrongs, but will free you from their hold. Go through that uncomfortable process. Stop dodging it, as you're delaying what is necessary for you to evolve.

Nothing will ever be like it was and we should be grateful. We are always one second away from a completely different future. This is actually pretty freeing, no matter how suffocating and overwhelming your nostalgia or regret feels.

Be here now, and see what opportunities and adventures arise. Remember, 'some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet'. 🦋

Stay hydrated, order pizza, basically find a gesture of love for yourself today. May your heart be calm and your vision clear.

1love, stay blessed 💓

Your assignment - should you choose to accept it - is to count how many times my cat shows you her ass during an online yoga class.

In other words.. online yoga classes (via Zoom) are available for wherever you are in the world!! 🦋

Types of classes I teach are:
🧘🏼‍♀️Slow flow
🧘🏼‍♀️Vinyasa
🧘🏼‍♀️Hatha
🧘🏼‍♀️Relaxation and basic stretching
🧘🏼‍♀️Meditation

🌈🌈First class is FREE!!!!🌈🌈

I aim to provide informed guidance and inspiration sharing yoga, in a judgement-free and loving space. By teaching with humour and humility, I focus on helping people experience the gifts of self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-understanding, ultimately opening pathways to feeling empowered and joyful in everyday life.

DM if you'd like to schedule a free class. Water yourself and see how you bloom. 🌼
