Who remembers Red Nose Day? Even cars sported a big red nose.

Whilst the day itself has slipped a little from everyone's minds the research into sudden infant deaths and supporting families continues.

Yesterday, kicked off the charity fundraiser where I will walk or run 3km every day of August.

If you'd like to join me feel free to sign up.
What better way to kick off getting fit for Summer.
Whilst I know times are tough and there are so many worthy causes please consider donating.

Spotlight on Yin yoga.

Yin yoga is a yoga practice blending the principles of Chinese medicine with the Hatha yoga style.

Practising postures that stimulate the meridians and nadis, by holding poses for longer in a supported and meditative state.

Yin was started by martial artist Paulie Zink and then adapted by Paul Grilley and Susan Powers into the Yin/Yang version we recognise today.

I studied under Mel McLaughlin a direct student of Paul Grilley.

I love Yin.

It is a journey; holding space and allowing thoughts and emotions to surface. The stretches impact the muscles, tendons and fascia.

As a special event I am holding a 1.5hr Yin on Friday the 18th at Kootingal Gym, there are only 5 places left, secure your spot now.

I am trialling an evening Yin class in Tamworth on the 22nd July at 5.30pm running for 4 weeks. This will continue if there is support and interest. Details are in the poster.

Yoga next week:

Chair Yoga: 10am Tamworth Gardens

The very clever and talented .k_kiwigirl kindly crochet this cute little yoga frog 🐸. He may accompany me to yoga to demonstrate poses that allude me.....such as my nemesis Upavistha Konasana, wide legged seated forward fold.

Spotlight on Chair Yoga.

You've probably realised by now that I'm passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga to "every body".

Chair yoga is the perfect way to do so.

In my blog https://www.free2beme.com.au/post/chair-yoga I discuss what my chair yoga class looks like, the benefits, including references to peer reviewed studies, as well as feedback from my chair yogis 💖 comments such as:

"I can put my pants on easier"

"Definitely walking better-more smoothly. Don't need the walking stick as much"

"I feel the relaxing exercise very helpful to get off to sleep"

"I enjoy your sessions. You are gentle & mindful of everyone & you give assistance to those who need your advice. Thank you Angela"

I currently present 2 classes on Tuesdays, if you know of an aged care, retirement or lifestyle village that are looking to incorporate gentle exercise to their residents on another day please feel free to pass on my details.

Alternatively "outsiders" are welcome at either venue on Tuesday.

Yoga this week:

Tuesday:
Chair yoga: 10am Tamworth Gardens
                      11.30am Oaktree Retirement Village

Thursday:
                      9.30am Park yoga
                      5.45pm 45min Yoga at Kootingal Gym (last one for this term)

My goal over the next few years is to do more van life.

On Sunday, MiCara and I went to Lake Macquarie overnight to get the window fixed. It was a lovely, all be it quick, trip.

You know how I love sunrises and sunsets, check out my photos. Pretty spectacular if I must say so myself.

I've had my full black licence since I was 17 and I've driven a lot and towed a horse float, I'm well aware that driving is a privilege not a right!

There are two things that put me on edge: 1 caravans can be so unstable and 2 working with an emergency service for 26 years the amount of accidents, bad drivers and road rage is scary.

I have to say everyone was very polite driving down and back and the drive was very pleasant.

My dad always says when you first start on a long drive you feel every movement and sound in the car then after a while you settle in and get accustomed to your vehicle and can relax into the trip.

And "Lil miss A" handles like a dream, she sticks with you and the Mitzy hardly seems to notice the van. I really love my little set up.

Next trip is Mundi Mundi.

The Aussie tradie.

A lovable larrikin that works hard, enjoys a meat pie and a beer or two. It's hard to imagine that sometimes that easy smile hides a deeper pain.

The statistics are confronting:
*  Construction workers are at least six times more likely to die by su***de than on workplace accidents.

 *    190 construction workers die by su***de each year in Australia.

This is where Trademutt Shirts have stepped in, providing colourful "conversation starter" shirts, with 50% of profits supporting TIACS, a free counselling service for Aussie tradies, truck drivers, farmers and blue collar communities.

I have no affiliation with Trademutt, I just love their shirts and support their message.

If you know of anyone struggling or just would like to wear a bright, fun shirt with an important message, that may just help someone in a tough spot, check out their website

When I completed my Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy I committed this year to education; explaining what yoga therapy is and sharing the benefits of yoga to all.

This week I was honoured to be asked to present to a lovely group at the Lions club meeting on Wednesday evening.

And I was able to share space with Carmel from Sunset Days End of Life Doula Service at the Palliative Care Community Awareness Event on Thursday.

I was humbled by the experience and warm reception and interest in the assistance I can offer.

Dealing with end of life situations are heartbreaking and challenging, for me it is the chance to help those facing death to have as much comfort and dignity as possible and supporting loved ones coping with the lose.

There are many services and help available if you or someone you know are facing those challenges.

On a lighter note there may be an extra opportunity to practise coming soon....watch this space🙂
