Yoga By Gillian

Have you booked your class yet?

Here's your mid-week reminder to carve out time for yourself. To relax, to recharge, to switch off from the lists and responsibilities for a short time.

This is time for you, to tend to your own wellbeing by shutting off the outside world and stepping onto your mat.

Many people come to class from very stressful jobs. But they know that making it to class is doing something positive for themselves.

When they head home they sleep better, have more energy to spend time with their loved ones and so much more.

There are a few spaces left to practice with me this week -

Candlelit Yin / Thursday / 7.15pm-8.15pm / Ripple Effect Wellbeing Centre
** 2 spaces left for Yin this week.

Immersive Yoga / Saturday / 10.15am-11.15am / Motherwell Library

Pumpkin spiced latte season is upon us and the slow descent into autumn has definitely started.

In TCM this time of the year is known as Late Summer. This season is associated with the earth element, grounding, establishing routines and setting boundaries. It's also linked with the organs of the stomach and spleen.

For me, September is definitely a return to routine. But it's also important for me to set some realistic priorities for the month ahead. This will help me use Late Summer as a bridge between the heat and joy of summer and the cooler more yin autumn.

What are your priorities for September? Let me know below 🫶 and let's support each other this month

Let's make social media Social again.

I'm bringing back Friday Follows, sharing some love for accounts, businesses and people who are worth taking a look at.

First up is a few of my favourite places to eat, and bonus points for them all being dog friendly 🐶

Dockyard Social is my go to place on a Saturday after class. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming and it's nice to be able to enjoy something different for lunch. Plus, Jackson loves people watching and enjoy the mocktails 🍹

The Hub Cafe another dog friendly place and handy for walking to. We've enjoyed a nice brunch as well as tea and cake here. Always a friendly smile when we visit.

Dalziel Park Hotel this is only dog friendly in the bar area, but definitely worth a visit. I've had a few tasty meals in here and Jackson has always been made to feel like the ⭐️ he is.

Do you have any recommendations of dog friendly places I could visit? Leave me a comment 👇 and make sure to check out the ones I've shared here.

Nourish your mind and your body.

Each time I've ran the Chocolate Yoga workshop the feedback has been phenomenal.

The combination of soft, gentle yoga with the health benefits of good quality chocolate create a unique experience where we can nourish our minds and our bodies at the same time.

This weekend the Chocolate Yoga workshop will be part of a 3 hour mini-retreat where your wellness and self-care are the main focus.

You will be guided through a mindful tea ceremony, to settle the body before we begin our session

Chocolate yoga will be the star of the session, using high quality chocolate to create a mind/body connection, we can experience a deeper sense of release and relaxation.

After our yoga session, we will float into a balancing Yoga Nidra, embracing the energies of the Late Summer season. This time of year is all about nourishing our bodies and minds, drawing our attention inwards and setting intentions to support our wellness through the coming darker months.

Finally we will apply ear seeds, to stimulate acupressure points which support digestion.

This seasonal mini-retreat is the ideal boost to your self-care routine, offering the chance to step away from the busyness of everything and settle into some stillness and quiet. When you leave you can expect to feel lighter and brighter than when you came into the session.

Spaces are limited - book yourself a treat for this weekend and don't leave it too late!
