✨ Yesterday evening in our journal circle we were talking, and journaling, about stillness. And about how often we stay busy to avoid the discomfort of being still. Definitely something that I have struggled with over the years.

The mind body connection is a powerful one. For me, physical stillness typically leads to mental overwhelm. But, when I get into my body (for example, by moving my body, or having a massage) then my mind slows down. Changes in my physical body create mental space and presence.

Equally, it goes the other way too. I went out on my paddle board this weekend for the first time in about 4 years. People assume that because I’m a yoga teacher I have great balance on the board, but that’s just not the case. I’ve always struggled with it, and even more so after a long pause. And it’s a mental thing more than a physical one.

I get into my head the second I step onto the board and doubt myself. This thought knocks me off balance mentally, and the mental worry translates into shaking legs, and more unsteadiness.

So this time, I slowed it down. I reminded myself that probably nobody was looking at me or judging me. (And if they were, let them). And I didn’t have to get up to standing. Instead, I sat and slowly paddled, just allowing my body and nervous system to settle.

And in time they did. I had a couple of standing wobbles (and falls!), but most of the time I stayed sitting. I had the best time, and found quite a few glimmers - moments of peace and calm and hope.

✨ Giving ourselves permission to be - just where we are - is something I’ve come to realise is SO important. Whether that’s physically, or mentally - or maybe like me a necessary combination of the two.

✨ Hoping you all can find a moment or two to go gently today 💛

💫 A beautiful, slow and grounding end to the weekend.

We spoke about finding stillness, and slowing down. And together we found some stillness, a pause at the end of our weekends together. Thank you so much for being a part of this community 💛

There has been so much "new year, new you" messaging over the last week and truthfully we've been hesitant to add to the noise. Especially when there is so much focus on the way your body looks, weight loss and achieving miracle transformations. Instead we prefer to think about helping you to feel your very best, to carve time out of your busy life to slow down, switch off and unplug, and to find an escape that works for you.

For us, a swim is so much more than the number of lengths. It's the hour away from a phone (and emails and messages and social media), it's the enforced mindfulness that comes from focusing on your breathing and the sound of the water, and the immersion into the safe and friendly space that comes with a swimming pool or outdoor swim spot (goodbye alpha gym bunnies and checked in fitness posts).

We've never gotten out of the water without feeling so much better than we did getting in. So in 2018 we hope to see you in the pool. 🏊‍♀️🙂💦
