International Yoga Day 🤸🏻‍♀️ I don’t practice yoga daily, but it is a practice that always leaves me feeling calmer, present and spacious (literally spacious in my body after Yin Yoga). When I first tried yoga it took me a while to like it, which I later realised was because I didn’t understand it. . I didn’t understand yoga was about going into yourself, into your heart and into your soul. Connecting with your breath and how you feel in every moment as you move through a pose. As the years went on and I started on my intentional living journey yoga has now become another way that I can go within. Another way that I can listen, observe and learn about my body and my mind. . Within yoga I loooove practicing inversions - getting upside down. How often do we do it? Not nearly enough. When I get into a headstand it’s challenging, the very fine balance between falling and getting up. The tension in the core and the calm of the breath and mind. . It was tough getting into this pose on Sunday, but when I got up, I took a deep breath and for a spell I allowed my breath to bring me stillness. Stillness within the tension. Stillness in my body, in my mind. The stillness then gave me the power to stay in the pose a little longer. . And that’s what life is about. It’s about creating stillness amongst the chaos, the tension and the stress. Creating stillness within ourselves allows us to create peace, calm and power. Power to do what we need for ourselves. . This is what yoga, meditation and my evening practice all gives me. If you haven’t tried yoga but you’re yearning for a practice that is active and provides you an opportunity for peace and calm - definitely try it. . 🧘🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️✨ . . . . #yoga #internationalyogaday #practice #stillness #mindfulness #intention #intentionalliving #happinessis #peace #calm #space #livetastic

Creating Space Challenge!! Things are ramping up for me so it’s important to remember what makes me happy and keeps me calm. The thing that does it, is space! . So I’d like to do a challenge with you this week! Pick ONE thing from the list below and set the intention to do it every day. Pop it in your calendar or put a note on your wall if you need to. But if it doesn’t happen, DON’T judge yourself, forgive yourself and set the intention again for the following day. Pick one: ✨ Express gratitude before you go to sleep or when you first wake up ✨ Before you nod off to sleep, sit for 5 mins and just breath in and out ✨ Go for a walk for at least 20mins (in silence or listen to a podcast) ✨ Drive to and from work in silence (or bus, train, walk) ✨ Avoid emails or social media in the morning until you get to work ✨ Turn off your phone 2 hours before you go to sleep and read, write or draw ✨ Cook dinner and hang out in the evening with no TV on ✨ Go to sleep 8 hours before your alarm goes off . You only need to pick one. Start small, pick one that might make you feel a bit uncomfortable and try it, see how you feel, observe how you react, note it down and reflect on it. . We tend to say we don’t have time to create space, but how much time do we spend doing things without even thinking about? We will create space, which can create calm and peace when we decide it’s important for us to do it. So let today be the day you decide it’s important for you. . Let’s do it together! This week I’m picking 20mins of walking and I’m going to commit to it every day that I’m not training. I love the fresh air and space (even though it’s freezing)! . Which one are you picking?! ☺️🤷🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️ . I’ll check in on Friday and I’d love to hear how you’re feeling! Check out my new blog on the 5 ways that I create space via the link in my bio. . Join the challenge and give yourself the opportunity to get more space in your days to allow more peace, calm and relaxation to flow into your life. . . . . . #intention #intentionalliving #happinessis #mindfulness #space #space #awareness #relaxation #peace #chooseyou #livetastic #bemore #selfcare
