There is nothing to fear in the act of beginning. More often than not it knows the journey ahead better than we ever could. Perhaps the art of harvesting the secret riches of our lives is best achieved when we place profound trust in the act of beginning. Risk might be our greatest ally. To live a truly creative life, we always need to cast a critical look at where we presently are, attempting always to discern where we have become stagnant and where new beginning might be ripening. There can be no growth if we do not remain open and vulnerable to what is new and different. I have never seen anyone take a risk for growth that was not rewarded a thousand times over.

A SOFT LANDING…
There are many reasons and times in our life when we require a different kind of support, one that friends and family aren’t able to give us.
Sometimes we need practical tools to navigate difficult times, there are occasions when we need help to understand and make sense of our reactions and our feelings. When we experience trauma, it can be beneficial to have a safe place for our stories to be heard and our experience to be witnessed.
For many people it is not about words but about exploring what is held in the body and the need to allow what has been stored to be safely released.
It can be really scary to take the step into therapy, while holding that truth it is my intention to offer a soft landing, a place of connection and trust.

To do yoga is to heal.

A morning well spent with David Keil (the anatomy teacher on my yoga teacher training course) who is in Glasgow this week teaching at Merchant City Yoga

Together we learnt about breath, bandha (locking parts of the pelvic floor and abdomen), asana (posture) and dristi (focus). ALL together makes yoga. Intention of awareness of these aspects improve the mind / body connection (embodiment) making 'it' yoga (not simply excercise / stretching).

Our true nature is in the moment.
Now IS yoga.
"Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is Universal. Yoga is not mine". Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga yogi).

CT Afferents 🧠🤲
CT afferents are specialised skin nerve fibres that seem to respond best to slow, gentle stroking touch. They are one reason researchers are interested in why some types of touch feel especially soothing or pleasant.
This does not mean touch is a cure, but it does help explain why slow, gentle contact may feel different from fast or forceful pressure.

Myo-fascial Reiki release treatment.

A deeply intuative session of myo-fascial release techniques and Reiki, seamlessly blended together. Feel completely held, allow the body to open, let go of restrictions both physically and energetically.

Working with the fascia, nervous system and energetic systems of the body i will apply beautiful long held myo-fascial stretches to areas of the body presenting with physical restrictions. This can be carried out direcly on skin or through a sheet. A perfect time to connect with the Reiki energy, asking it to flow to whereever it is needed in the body.

I have been working with both modalities for years now. Bringing them together in this deeply healing combination makes so much sense. It is so powerful.

If you feel stiff, achy, restricted in the physical body and / or feel stuck, muted or in limbo in life generally then this may be a lovely treatment option for you. Very calming, relaxing and restorative.

As always, this can be adapted so it is suitable for most folk. Please get in touch if youre not sure and lets have a chat. Im used to working with complex health conditions.

60, 90 or 120 minute treatments available to book via my website 🙏🏻💫💛

Seasonal yoga teacher training module 6.

I am way behind at posting this as about to start module 7 tonight. But i want to keep documenting the year, as so far its been transformational 💫💫💫

There are these principles in yoga which we study in order to help find harmony both within ourselves and with the outside World. A big element of module 6 for me was studying Ahimsa - non violence. From the big things like not being physically violent, to the small things like how we talk to ourselves.

We were all given yoga masters to study and we are to do a presentation on these during module 8. Mine is Mahatma Gandhi, whose primary living manifestation was that of Ahimsa. So its really fitting and im enjoying learning more about his life and his contribution to man kind.

The other big thing was planning yoga classes... and you already know about that bit!

So ill not 'shut up' as im practicing self compassion / non violence. I'll finish up now and wish you all a wonderful weekend. Im off to learn how to pronounce 'Ubbhaya Padanangusthasana' and the season of late Summer yoga practice.

Namaste 🙏🏻
