🍂 October is menopause awareness month in the UK 🍂
I've heard people talk about 'your menopause journey'. Sounds a bit icky, but staying with that idea, I'd say for some it's like a gentle stroll in the park on a sunny day. For others, it's like hiking up Ben Nevis in flipflops.

Here's how yoga helped me along the way:

✨ Rest, relax and sleep better
✨ Regulate my racing heart to feel calmer
✨ Ease joint and tendon pain to move more freely
✨ Did I mention sleep better?

You're welcome to rock up, roll out a mat and just lie down.
It's okay if you fall asleep.
See you there, 🙏 Jayne

NEW! YOGA FOR MENOPAUSE IN BURBAGE
If your inner thermostat is set to 'what the hell?', you're exhausted but struggling to sleep and you're wondering exactly how your tendons and nerves got so frayed, then come along to my new Yoga for Menopause class on Tuesdays 8pm, Burbage Junior School. It's soothing, but not too serious.
No yoga experience required and you don't need to be flexible. Bring a mat and be yourself. I'd love to meet you there, Jayne

Your yoga practice doesn't begin and end on your mat.

This week, I invite you to tune into your breathing as you move through your everyday world. Notice when you hold your breath. No judgement. Nothing to do. Just notice.

Look for patterns. What's happening? Are tense? Bracing or guarding yourself? Are you ultra-focused and concentrating? Is it a habit with certain actions or thoughts?

Finally, what happens when you notice you've stopped breathing? Be curious and notice with kindness. Let me know how you get on.

There are still spaces for the new term. You can book online at https://bookwhen.com/shantispirit or reply to book a place.
See you on the mat! 🙏 Jayne

See you there, Jayne 🙏

Kindness is associated with a concept in yoga called 'ahimsa' which means non-violence. It applies both to other people and also to yourself. This research explains that kindness:

❤️ Kindness associated with lowering cortisol levels.
❤️ Kind acts may improve inflammatory markers.
❤️ Three weekly kind acts decrease anxiety and improve self-esteem.
❤️ Giving a gift before a stressful event means your pulse and blood pressure recover more quickly

See you on the mat this week! 🧘

Research suggests kindness isn’t just a virtue — it’s measurably good for your health.

This is where the magic of yoga lies—not in the perfect ex*****on of a pose, but in how we approach it. Can we let go of the outcome, of how we believe our body should move, and instead cultivate curiosity? Can we be curious about how it feels to try a new pose, how it feels to breathe deeply, or how it feels when we let go of striving altogether?
