'Yoga can reduce anxiety and insomnia for people living with cancer, study finds
First clinical trial of its kind, involving 410 cancer survivors in US, also finds reductions in distress and fatigue.'

I was very pleased to come across this article today. The chosen subject for my final paper in my yoga therapy diploma was a course for breast cancer patients with a focus on anxiety. I chose this subject because like many others I have lost people close to me because of cancer, also to have more knowledge on how yoga can potentially help to be of better assitance as a teacher. It seemed to me a given that yoga would be really beneficial and there are many other studies that give positive results, this study has the best supportive stats I've seen yet.

With all the pop culture of yoga it is easy to have an image of just downward dogs and warriors but there is so so much more to it. The breath, the mindfulness, becoming completely present for yourself, the cultivation of compassion to trust your body, these are some of the deeper offerings of yoga.

Moving to connect, that to me is a large part of yoga movement. Don't get me wrong, I love a vinyasa practice and those moments of trying out challenging positions. However there's something special about these somatic movements where there's no striving to achieve, we're simply meeting our body how it is and noticing how it cares to move today. Its like having a really in depth conversation with a close friend. When you listen you can find out where may need a bit more of your time, notice habitual movement patterns that may need to be shaken up. I'm pretty sure that if I didn't have these more gentler practices I wouldn't be able to do the more demanding ones.
We all appreciate being listened to, how are you listening to your own body?
If you live near Navarrenx and fancy taking up a gentle yoga class, I am at the salle de dance every Tuesday afternoon at 2pm. Feel free to get in touch if you're interested 😊

Postnatal Connection

You do not need to be a mum of young kids only, diastasis recti and pelvic issues can continue for years later!

A space where mothers can come with or without their little ones. A space to move and a space to share! We explore practices to centre our body and mind, using a mixture of tools that I have learnt from different modalities, including yoga, somatic and physical therapy practices.

This is a space where we will explore physical practices for core strength, somatic practices for nerves system regulation as well a time to talk and connect with other mothers.

As a yoga therapist, trauma informed somatic coach and with additional training in postnatal rehabilitation and pelvic pain I can offer useful practices and a safe space for us to listen, be heard, connect and re connect.

Weekly sessions start on the first Friday of Mayl.

Have a look on my website for more information and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions 😊

Here's one for the wrists.

When I was pregnant with Oihana and for about a year later my wrists were not very happy, sometimes I had to adjust my practice so I wasn't distracted by them. We use our wrists a lot! You may have spent the day typing, carrying bags... or kids! We don't really notice them until they start aching.
Hormones, arthritis, repetitive strain can all be reasons for wrist pain amongst others.
Strengthening our wrists can sometimes help relieve pain. If your practicing yoga, just ve mindful of where your weight is in your hands to help support your wrists and your shoulders.
The nerve flossing exercise at the end are particularly useful for the whole hand.
If you have wrist pain I recommend you choose a few of these and fit them into your day 😊
