As a practice of union, Yoga has got me to slow down and step out of speed cycle that was at times addictive, restless and unhealthy. 🤒

Now I get that the more we take on, the more difficult it is to get off our speed mills. Life just gets fuller and fuller and you just have to keep running to keep up. 🏃🏻‍♀️ And the more we run, the more we lose our way.
We deplete our inner resources (our bodies) and our external resources (the planet).

Do you see it? Want a way out?

5 Ways to Find Time For Your SELF.

Need help finding your ‘back to yoga school’ spirit?  🧘🏼‍♂️

Summer is almost done, the holidays are nearly over, and the kids are going back to school (or in my case flying the nest!) Life can get back to a ‘normal’ routine. But will that routine include something for your Self?

If you’re currently telling yourself that you’ll do yoga, “if” you have time you almost certainly won’t have time, right? I know it, so do you. (I’m a tough love kind of girl)…☺️😍

So instead, get still, breath and make a conscious choice. Ask, do you want to make time for your Self?

Classes are up. Make your Autumn/Winter Yoga Plan

Got it down, get it done. You Self will thank you later.

Hey it’s me, Josie…👋 I may be taking a little cheeky time off from teaching class, but I’ve been busy. Phew!!! 😅

Yep, I’ve been planning programmes for Autumn/Winter 2018/19 and the dates are up. So, avoid a holiday fitness and self-care hangover and get into your calendar now to ring-fence your mat time right from September 2018 right into February 2019…(I know – super organised. Get me!). 👍

I’m not really saying that to crow… this is all for you. You can be super organised too…what are you waiting for? I believe our future Self is ours to co-create in every moment. 😉 Let’s get to it.

How to STOP to become Unstoppable.

A yoga inspired event for self-starters, entrepreneurs and business owners.

Once upon a time I hid behind my ‘too busy’ life to avoid doing things that:

• needed my attention, but had ‘no time’ to stop and address
• I didn’t want to do, even though deep down I knew they would make me happier, healthier and more successful in the long run.
• took me out of my comfort zone (or simply scared me silly)

So, I just kept going, foot to the floor, head down, fingers in my ears, barely coming up for air. 😝 What happened? Crash, bang, wollop, oops, oh dear… life/work fell apart.  For a while.

How to do nothing and take charge of your health, life and happiness.

3 REASONS NOT TO SKIP SHAVASANA

Let me take your mind to the end of any yoga class. What happens? If you answered ‘blanky time’, ‘Zzzzz’ or ‘I leave – I really haven’t got time for this’ you might just catch me let out a soft sigh of understanding before I wade right in with a yoga reality slap. (Tough love sorry, it’s how this yogi rolls 😝).

What if I told you that this beautiful bookend to your practice called Shavasana/Savasana (or corpse pose), is the pose for taking charge of your life, health and happiness.

If affirmations aren’t working for you? What will?

QUESTION for you.

What’s your take on affirmations? 🤨 You know…the process of affirming something or stating something as true. It works along the lines of if you tell yourself you’re a bad ass entrepreneur, then you’re a bad ass entrepreneur.

Or if you believe you can run a marathon under 4 hours, you will.

Do they work for you? Or do you feel like you’re simply telling yourself big fat pork pies. 🙂

Follow Your Heart | Put Feeling Into February

Following your heart matters. Don’t just do it, feel it.

Hey yogi. I want to talk to you about feelings. And I promise you, even though it’s Valentines week, there’s no side serving of mush.

So, I just came across this quote that I want to share with you.

Everyone wants to know what it means. But nobody is asking, how does it feel?

Mary Oliver, a Pulitzer Prize Winner, said this on Poetry. When I read it, I was floored with recognition and connection.

Here comes the why?

IS LIFE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING?

…and how to hunt down your ‘most-wanted’ emotions

Hey yogi friend. Right now, I’m listening to these lyrics…. Alanis Morissette. Recognise them? Feel free to sing along.

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

In your face

Bam… it’s like – ‘hey… you talking to me?’ At the risk of sounding kooky, it feels like something ‘out there,’ right now, in this moment, has my back. Music does that for me – a lot. How bout you?
