Waiting for all your ducks to be in a row before you start something?

As a person who has spent a lot of time waiting for the timing to be perfect before launching into anything new, believe me, as soon as it looks like your ducklings are sorting themselves out, one of them will just wander off, or fall down a drain hole completely..

It will never be the right time... something will always come up to hinder you getting started on that project, applying for your dream job, beginning that diet, starting that exercise class... because, if your honest, it feels a bit like relief when you can blame another thing from stopping you achieving that goal.

Today, I just started. I have been telling myself for years that things needed to be in place better for me to post on social media freely, without good reason, or a starting point, or a be 'ready' and this wasn;t the post I was meant to be posting! I was meant to be promoting my Yoga Classes as I start the new set of classes.. but here I am, posting a post about not starting.

So, don't wait. If you have wanted to try yoga, or have been wanting to get back to yoga, and you have been telling yourself 'I will start when I am fitter, or thinner, or younger or older, or richer or more in need or have more time or when all my ducklings are nicely lined up behaving themselves behind me' then check yourself.. thats never really going to happen is it really.. so don't wait, just start. Start in the middle, start at the end, start somewhere, just start.

Yoga with me is not about 'getting it right' or being 'the type for yoga'. I have ages from 18 to 76 in my classes and honestly, if you just want to come in, and that day just want to lie down on the mat for an hour because today that's all you've got, then I am down with that.

Text, call, message or just give me a wave and lets just see. millions of people love doing yoga. There is a reason for that.

Spring is on it's way! (Well it feels like today it is anyway!)

If the sun coming out makes you feel like you maybe ready to start coming out of hibernation, then maybe its also time to take a long stretch..

(and all the other wonderful things that yoga does for your total well being and feeling happier will also happen!)

Don't wait to be 'ready' tho.

Just start.

It can be that easy!

I have been teaching yoga in this area for 10 years now, read about what people say..

Contact me on phone/text/whatsapp 07798 616821 or here.

Small, personal, easy going classes with a focus on how your body and mind works better. No 'oms' (not against it, just not my style) just people getting to feel better,calmer,happier.

See you soon

Love Manna 🙏

I will be running another of my restorative evenings to interrupt the business and stress of the run up to Christmas, and offer you a much needed few hours of deep relaxation and peace for the body and mind..

Two and a half hours with the phone off, the lights dimmed, the doors closed and the interruptions and the 'need to be doing' is stilled.

I will guide you through light easy stretches (yin yoga) to release physical tension, then deepen this relaxation into restorative, lying down poses supported by bolsters, pillows and blankets, and then lead a guided meditation (yoga Nidra) to relax your mind deeper and deeper into a bliss state of utter calm and peace for the mind.

We will finish with a warming winter drink while you return gently to the rest of the day refreshed and restored.

Sunday 14th December 5pm til 7.30pm Washington Village Hall.

£25pp.

All you need to bring is your own pillow and blankets and if you have a yoga mat that too. No experience needed.

September! The month of change, of new starts, new beginnings, and the unknown new road ahead.

If you have children going back to school, maybe moving into a new, bigger school, or maybe leaving school altogether, I get it, it feels unsettling and you maybe feeling a bit lost.

Maybe this is the first time you have stood at that school gate with a little hand held tight in your hand, each as nervous and unsure as each other what the future will look like for both them and you?

Take comfort in this; that when you let go of who you think you are now - the parent, keeper, protector of this little one who you have brought from baby in arms to this big moment of change - and step into who you might be, it will not disappoint!

Yes it's scary. Take it from one who struggles with feeling comfortable with my little ones growing up away from me, and questions 'who will I be when they don't need me any more?' but, with every year they grow taller, more independent, more adult and stop needing a new shoe size, l learn that I too must grow, shift, learn and develop too. And what if, you let that fizz of nerves become a fizz of excitement instead?

Come and feel supported in your new journey by putting something new into your routine, (or maybe revisiting something old).

My yoga classes begin after drop-off at Washington Village Hall on Tues, Weds and Thursdays at 9.30am (enough time for a natter at the gate before it starts) and I also teach in the evenings on Wednesday.

Yoga is way more than just 'exercise'. It will help you feel grounded and supported in your mind as well as your body. It will help you build trust in yourself where you feel lost, and as you put something back into you, you begin to see the other possibilities..
