Yoga – My Journey | Getting Back On The Mat

NO.
There, I said it. A simple word and one that means no further action on my part, the ‘easy out’. As we all did, yoga stopped for me in December for the Christmas break, this was near fatal to my regime.
Read on to find out how I got over a dose of the ‘No’ Tourettes.

by Paul Warner
A new beginning… or Begin|Again to be precise.
Having completed the four-week Begin course as a yoga newbie, I had decided that I had found my thing and I wanted yoga to start to play a part in my life.
How did that go..?
Grab a brew and catch up on the progress I made in just five short hours of yoga…
Yoga – My Journey | Meditation
Yoga – My Journey | Week 5 | Meditation
Do you look outside for things to ‘fix you’, make you feel good?
Maybe food, nice (expensive) things, alcohol, medication, other people? Want to unleash your body’s natural and miraculous power to heal itself and feel good from the inside out?
Meditation is it. But don’t take my word for it. Yoga Begin graduate, Paul Warner, continues to talk about his yoga journey and how he’s gone about discovering his own time on the meditation mat. You can get started too… I’ve got a teeny, tiny challenge you might enjoy… so get curious and take a look. J X🙌

Yoga helps us work with discomfort.
You’ll here me tell ya.. It’s where the growth and magic happens. So stepping into the yoga space for the first time is a big deal – but imagine then sharing that vulnerability and putting yourself out there (baggy yoga pants and all) to write a blog about it!

3 Yogi-in-Training Ways to…
Overcome your open water fears
Hang on… before you ditch this blog. Before you say ‘no way Josie’, I’m no triathlete, nope, not a chance…why would I want to do that? Hear me out.
Ask yourself first my yogi friends, do you love to exercise and stay active? Great, me too. It makes me feel better physically and mentally. Simple. But did you know the setting you exercise in can add on extra benefits?
Water and “blue” space helps us relax and can potentially give us more of a mental boost than slogging it out in the gym, or at home where we’re dodging distractions and sensory stimuli. You know – your phone, TV, music, apps etc.
When we’re near the water, under the water, we get a cognitive rest. We find a sense of calm and clarity. We know intuitively and instinctively that being in and around the blue stuff makes us feel great and it’s also a very real thing scientifically.
Check out your latest Yogi-In-Training blog to learn more and maybe I can tempt you to dig into these 3 top yogi tools to get you over any first-time open water fears.
Go on, dive in…it might be cold, but it’s also totally exhilarating.
