Each day the sun rises and sets ~ well, as we know that is just our perception of what the sun is doing 🧐

Another way of describing it is ~ we inhibit a human form whilst residing on a spinning landmass surrounded by water that is hovering in space and we rotate around a fireball 🤣

Sometimes the experience of life is so overwhelming, confusing, unbelievable and down right hard 😳

And yet, the sun is there in the morning, the birds sing, plants grow, the tide ebbs and flows, the seasons change and life continues to evolve 💫

For me, nature has this way of reminding me that everything is ok 🙏🏻

To feel the wind, smell the grass, hear the birds singing and crickets chirping ~ reminds me to breathe and trust 💜

Within the constant change there is consistency ~ within the uncertainty there is certainty ☯️

Not always easy to remember ~ but I just have to look to nature for an everyday reminder 🌲



📷 I took this photo in a rose garden park while waiting for my 20yr old. He was seeing his physio after major hip surgery 2 weeks ago - love him so much and admire his fortitude and inner strength 💙🤍

Day 8

Hmmmm seems to be more to this yoga thing than just poses/asanas 🤔

I started my yoga journey when I was 21 and I have loved the physical changes in my body ~ more flexibility, greater range of motion and more grace and flow 🧘🏻‍♀️

I started this current daily practice/habit forming process to bring more physical yoga practice into my life (or so I thought 🤪) but what I am experiencing is a greater connection and communication with myself 💞

I am noticing my resistance, self analysing my process, learning more about myself and what I think, feel and do 🙏🏻

Yoga means Union 🧘🏻‍♀️

Union with life - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual 🙏🏻

And today I am enjoying the journey and I have relinquished the destination 🙌🏻

My dear friend wrote to me ……
‘think of your yoga practice as "What will bring me into balance and connection today, in this moment?" rather than as a series of physical postures to do . . . what we need each day might be physical postures, or it might be rest, meditation, breathing, or sometimes the full spread” - such wisdom ✨

Day 8 - evening restorative yoga with who encourages me everyday to continue with my practice and gets on the mat to complete his own practice 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

Day 6 and Day 7

Well this daily yoga practice is tougher than I expected 😩

It seems that my mind and body have heard that I want them to do more and the resistance is huge 😤

So today I took the pressure off and the ‘rules’ are that I just do some yoga every day 👍🏻

The yoga doesn’t have to be perfect with incense, dim lighting and atmosphere - it just needs to be done 🧘🏻‍♀️

A few poses, meditation, centred breathing, mindful movement 💛

So Day 6 was Yoga Nidra and Day 7 was some of my favourite postures including 3 leg downward dog with hip opening (Tri Pada Adho Mukha) 🙏🏻

Only 7 days in 😓 but I’m determined to complete the 21 day habit forming practice which I am hoping gets easier and more enjoyable 🤞🏻

I’m intrigued to see how I go 🤔🙄😅😂

DAY 4 and 5 Daily Yoga Practice

Well daily yoga practice is more challenging than I anticipated 🙃

Day 4 - became Yoga Nidra as the day came to an end and my partner and I were so exhausted that the thought of an asana practice was just too much at the end of the day 😥

Absolutely loved the Yoga Nidra that we followed along with on the 🥰

Day 5 was a morning follow along flow practice that I was very resistant too. My body felt heavy, my mind kept complaining 😤 but we made it through and completed the flow practise with a few child’s pose when it was a little too much 🙏🏻

I chose not to document the weekend practices as I want this process to be for me and my practice - not as some social media promotion 🙌🏻 so this is not professional, not camera friendly, not filtered and made to ‘draw in the audience’ - IT IS FOR ME 🧘🏻‍♀️

Yoga ~ Union ~ Self 💜

Some days I may consistent film and post my practices and others days I may not - I aim to be consistent and hope to build my daily yoga practice into a life practice 🤞🏻

DAY 2

Yin Yoga evening practise 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

Chose a gentle practise at the end of today 🌙

Loved the long holds 🙌🏻

Exploring how my joints felt and breathing through the lengthening of my muscles 💛

Namaste 🙏🏻

There has been lots of dreaming, inspiration, creativity, out of the box thinking, happening of late💥

And I’m happy to say also ACTION to make dreams become a reality 🙌🏻

Today is the start of taking action on one of the ‘dreams’ 💫

DAILY YOGA PRACTISE 🙏🏻

Thanks to my loving partner, training coach, training bro, yoga buddy, muse and everything in between and beyond ❤️ proposing that we prioritise a daily yoga practise 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

Here is just a small snippet of my 45 minute practise I filmed today (including the sweaty palm wipe 😂)

And my intention is to use this platform as my accountability process - so watch out for daily updates over the month of October 👍🏻

My aim is to be consistent and fulfil 21 days of daily yoga practise throughout October, to form loving habit that just becomes a part of my life 🤞🏻

We have all heard of the ‘it takes 21 days to form a habit’.
“The rule is simple enough. Commit to a goal for 21 straight days. After three weeks, the pursuit of that goal should have become a habit. Once you've established that habit, you continue to do it for another ninety days”

So here is Day 1 and I’m excited to see where we flow to 🧚🏻‍♀️

I have practised yoga since I was 21 years old 👩🏻‍🦱
I have so much more to learn and explore with yoga. And I am definitely still a student 👩🏻‍🎓
But I feel proud that I have completed my yoga teacher training course 🧘🏻‍♀️
And I am now excitedly completing a Yin Yoga course 🙏🏻
I love the coming together of movement and breath - best medicine 💞
