Dont underestimate Hope.
Hope is often depicted as a wishy washy word.
Soft & delicate.
Delicate.
A last resort after all other options.
But where would we be without Hope?
Hope is the spark within us that believes in better..
even when the world says otherwise.
Far from delicate , to me Hope is formidable,
its what keeps us fighting against all odds.
Hope is born out of suffering...
defiant and steadfast.
Wise and dis- obediant.
Hope refuses to give up.

Your body was never the problem.

The way you see your body isnt born, it is taught.
The mirrors we didnt ask for, the comments,
the comparisons.
We carry those wispers as truths.
But what if we didnt see our bodies as problems to solve?
What if you could re write the story?
Of how you see your body?
Our bodies are ours.
Not trends, not headlines.
A gentle reminder that all your body needs is
more love and more hugs,
and a story you are willing to re write.

Love,
Mounira

In a world where 25 year olds are getting face lifts.
Where soical media is rife with very high and fake expectations of perfect relationships, perfect jobs,
perfect bodies and perfect lives, its essential to have reminders of another world.
Kind reminders for today♡

You are not your age,
nor the size of clothes you wear.
Your not only your name, nor the dimples in
your cheeks,
You are the books you read,
and the words you speak.
You are your voice,
and your smile.
You are the sweetness in your laughter and
your every tear,
You are the places you have been to and the
place you call Home.
You are your dreams and everything in between,
You are the people you love and the people that
love you,

Dinners in flip flops.
Aunty's hearts.
Daily sport and yoga routine.
Visits to 3 different gyms every week.
And lots of love .
In every shape and form.

The Perfect Life.
When it looks good, but feels bad.

Chasing after what your 'supposed' to want, rather than what you actually do.
Daily we are fed message after message about who we should be.
So our own personal definitions of success, health, happiness become so skewed, and creepily similar to one another .
Before you know it, everyone is driving the same car,
working the same jobs, wanting another body, and using the same filter on our selfies.
Sometimes we are conscious of it,
sometimes were not.
This relentless social enforcement of what a good life should look like.
But , let me tell you this,
as long as your external self isnt aligned with your internal values, desires and beliefs, you are allways going to feel un- happy.
Deeply dissapointed as to why having it all, feels like having nothing at all.
When we learn to resist the lure of whats 'trending',
and resist the BS of what we are bombarded with every day.
We start to feel peace.
Peace in knowing that we are tending to our truest selves, and boycotting what feels very fake and un real,
peace in knowing that we are championing our experiences and not being very fussed with all that doesnt contribute to that.
So its ok to let things look like failure sometimes,
as long as it feels like freedom to you.

Food for thought?

Why are women twice as likely to develop autoimmune diseases?
Its not just about hormones

Women often:
Put others first.
Repress anger.
Over identify with duty.
Struggle with boundaries to keep the peace.

Sound familiar?

These patterns reflect the very nature of autoimmunity.
Where the body struggles to distinguish
between self and non self.

Healing begins only when we reclaim our space, our needs and our worth.

Learning to understand how mindset and trauma are very linked to autoimmune triggers is a very important first step.
So is understanding that our societal conditioning plays another powerful tool in
immune dysregulation.

Healing begins only when we reclaim our space, our needs and our worth.

Sending you lots of ❤️from the woman who gently reminds you to take that extra step , to work on your inner world as much as the outer,

'Yoga is a breathing practice..
the rest is just bending.'

When a dis- comfort arises, be it physical or mental or emotional, we go to our mats for the reflection, contemplation, and meditation this practice offers so generously.
It helps me. and i know it helps so many of you too.
It helps me find space in my head and veins, clarity in my organs and a new approach, often healthier than my instant habitual reaction.
You come to my classes and many privately with all your stories.
A breakup.
Grief after the loss of a loved one or a pet, or a job or even a home as you move from one place to the other.
In joy because you never ever thought you could move your body the way we do .
In fatigue.
In healing.
In gratitude.
And many more stories.
Yoga remains a breathing practice and the rest is up to you.

Love,
Mounira

Food for Thought.

" What's your advice Mounira to anyone who feels they are under the infleunce of this difficult time?"
I was asked this question a few days ago.

There is a lot more addiction and a much higher rate of su***de than previous years.
There is a lot more extreme reaction and challenges that people are experiencing daily.
How do we make it through a moment such as this collectively?
We are constantly being taught by the media that we are not good enough, and that everything is separate from us.
Each to their own and everyone for themselves.
This notion that is sold is that everyone is here to get a 'special life'where you stand out or you are not 'good 'enough.
What i see in myself and in my own practice is that if i continuously allow myself to feel connected to the suffering and pain of the world and to not loose myself in it, but support myself with my rituals and practices..that i am not separate.
This keeps me practicing.
This keeps me wanting to fortify myself and connect to others.
And wanting to serve locally.
It gives me purpose.
You are never ever alone here.

Sitting.

We are all sitting with something.
Sometimes good, sometimes in between , sometimes
a mix.

'He's sitting with the grief of who he thought
he'd be.
Wondering what went wrong, unsure if he has the strength to make it right.'

'They are both sitting at the kitchen counter.
Hurt.
Painfully aware that this is it for them.'

'She is sitting with the conflict inside.
The conflict of knowing she shouldnt care about her
size, but knowing she wont eat enough today either.'

'He is sitting with this new sensation, one of being true
to himself, of finally knowing that he is exactly who he is meant to be.'

'She is sitting with the loneliness of not living with her people.
Aching to belong.'

'They both are sitting with the weight of it all.
Paralysied by exhaustion and over whelm,
consumed by bills, to -do lisrs and responsibility.'

Were sitting in love,
in therapy, in hope, in waiting
in shame, in grief,
Here there is allways space for whatever
youre carrying.

Love,

Mounira

Our brains were never designed for 24/7 connection.
They thrive in moments of stillness, curiosity,
and genuine human interaction.
Sometimes you need to un plug.
For a few hours, a day, a weekend or a week.
Or more.
It feels like a reset for my nervous system .
And yours im sure.
And most importantly helps me reclaim time
and connect to whats most important to me.

Happy day to you ❤️
May thoughts.
Last one is my favourite.

Ive been thinking recently how much
the world needs a reset .
Im not saying we need another world pandemic,
but every once in a while a little pause,
a little reset would do us so much good.
We can get off the treadmill of over work and
over commitment.
Maybe then you would realise your in
the wrong job, city, life, or relationship.
Maybe then you would stop pretending that the
rushing, endless meetings, little movement,
and a gut full of cortisol isnt good for you.
Maybe then you would start working on the
'inside' of your life more than the outside,
maybe then you would start a new business,
and find gratitude in the smallest of things .
Maybe and maybe not.
Take a seat.
Theres space here ,
for whatever your carrying.
