Practicing Gratitude... Even in Challenging Times

Hello Beautiful People,

How are you?

So... we head into another week of uncertainty.

Another week of working with limitations.... both internal and external.

Another week of breathing through our fears.

For me this week has felt a little more gentle, the more I am able to surrender to circumstances... the more I am able to work with what IS.

Amongst looking after house, dogs and baby, and many, many, many phone calls and messages with friends and family- I have carved out some time to be creative. I've been writing (a book- more on that much later!) and updating my yoga channel, cleaning things up, refreshing things, revisiting what I hope to say as a teacher; and playing with a better camera and mic (woo hoo!). There will be a higher quality of videos heading to you in the coming months and I'm pleased about this :)

It's very easy to bang the drum of positivity when all is going well, to stay dedicated to spirituality and self development when life is happy and fun. But I find these qualities of more use now then ever. Now is the time to lean into all the practices that serve you. Now is the time to look after your body, take time to meditate, practice self love, love for others and gratitude for all the things that are going well. Because even when times are terrible there is always something to be grateful for- Even if it is just your own perseverance and strength.

I invite you to join me for a gentle and relaxing yoga practice to cultivate gratitude. It was shot outside in the sunshine a few weeks ago- So I hope you enjoy this virtual vacation and can imagine the sun on your skin and the sand under your toes as you practice to the sound of the sea. These things haven't gone anywhere- they are right there, waiting for when all of this blows over.

I hope this message finds you, mustering that inner strength and finding reasons to be grateful of all that life has offered you, is offering you right now; and will offer you in the future.... I am off to write a gratitude list- maybe you wish to join me?!

Namaste,

:) s

What do you surrender to... & what do you resist?

Here's this weeks video: Yoga For Surrender Hello Beautiful Soul, How are you? Here we are again- meeting in this virtual world, co-creating this moment together - right now while the external world does its thing. These past few weeks I have been thinking a lot about presence/ mindfulness/ the simple, powerful tool of embracing the present moment. To the best of my (rather limited) ability I've been surrounding to this moment- no matter how different things may turn out then what I planned and no matter how hard things may seem out there in the world... or in here in my own mind. I keep observing that resisting the way things are does not change them, but only brings stress to me. So why resist?! What happens if I just surrender and allow it all to be?- All the beauty. All the pain. Just allowing everything to be as it is in this moment and then from this place I can choose (very carefully) what I wish to do and what I wish to

Time to reconnect...

Here is a link to my latest free Mantra Video: Radha Ramana Haribol Hello Beautiful People, It's good to be back! I don't know about you but for me, life at the moment feels very full once again :) Having an 8-month-old baby is always going to be lots of work I suppose... but even aside from this the summer atmosphere is in full swing, many people surround me and many possible creative projects beckon. I am learning to surrender my expectations and enjoy the ride - and I am also learning to prioritise: This means saying yes to the things that really matter and to say no to the things that simply do not fit on my plate at the moment. I struggle with this one, at any point in time there are around 4000 things I would love to do! But my baby is teaching me that improving the quality of my life can happen when I reduce the quantity of things that I do and simply focus on what matters- with my whole heart and soul. For me yoga and mantras matter. Here is a link to m

Enjoy it! Week 4 The Morning Ten 31 Day Yoga Challenge

How are you? Welcome to week 4 of The Morning Ten- your invitation to practice 31 days of yoga (including meditation and mantras)... even if that simply means practising for just 10 minutes a day :) This week the invitation is to enjoy it! Enjoy the practices, enjoy the amazing body that enables you to live your life, and enjoy the present moment and all the experiences that can be found right here, right now. A few questions to reflect upon are: What do you enjoy? What gives you pleasure? What gives you lasting happiness? Is there anything you can incorporate more of (or less of) in your life to increase your sense of enjoyment? For me I'm very much enjoying stealing moments away from my little one to work, play, meditate and practice yoga! I'm also practicing really enjoying many of the common things that I can do without thinking- feeding the baby, taking a shower, walking the dogs... it is lovely to remember to squeeze all the juice out of the simple things :) See b
