⚪️Renew your Nervous System with this breath. ⚪️Breath in for 4 counts… Hold for 4 ……Exhale slowly for 6 counts. ⚪️Allow your shoulders to relax. ⚪️This breath can be done anytime you need to calm yourself & reconnect⚪️Then there is an option to add a gentle sway , like a tree moving freely in the breeze. ⚪️Feel tension release with each exhalation. ⚪️You could do this breath any time of day.

🌈At the end of every storm there’s always a rainbow. You just have to look for it !
🌈It’s been a hectic week of huge rain and chaos. As I drove this afternoon there was this most magnificent rainbow. Like a halo in the sky.
🌈It gave me an opportunity to stop and reflect on the week just gone.
🌈Our yoga practice this week focused on helping people relieve their pain.
🌈We did this with movement, breathing techniques & A guided relaxation for Shifting the pain response.
🌈Pain also affects our emotions , sense of self & reshapes our identity. It’s not just a physical experience.
🌈Rainbows can bring smiles, a sense of ease and curiosity.
