Let’s talk about chair yoga 🧘🏾‍♀️
My Visit last week at one our clients was a reminder of why I started ‘Holistic Living with Jazz’ … it was my Grandma who inspired me to pursue my vision of this Holistic Village and community… & now it’s finally coming to life! 🙏🏾💜

It was great to see Salome one of our Holistic Health practitioners in action

Salome was offering Low mobility yoga. Chair yoga is perfect for those with low mobility, whether you have an injury or you are just not able.

Holistic Living with Jazz have been fortunate to work with Oakland Care an award winning Care Home to offer some of our services to the elderly.

People often assume yoga is for those who are fit and super flexible, but it’s actually used as an alternative therapy for healing both the body and the mind.

Whilst recovering from an injury I recently enjoyed this group Chair Yoga session with Salome.

🌱Benefits of chair yoga 🧘🏾‍♀️

‘Many people are aware of the advantages that come with practising yoga regularly. Engaging in physical activity is crucial to maintaining good health as it helps to strengthen the spine, muscles, and joints while promoting mental flexibility that translates to physical flexibility. Moreover, chair-based yoga is particularly beneficial for seniors as it helps to build and maintain muscle strength, reduce chronic pain, alleviate stress, and protect joints through gentle movements.’ - Salome

🌱 If you are a yoga practitioner, a corporate company or organisation who also require our services or would like to collaborate. Get in touch, DM me or schedule a free discovery call 📞 🌱

Did you know The Colosseum (in Italy) is one of the official 7 Wonders of the World?

It’s the first out of the Seven that I’ve actually been able to tick off my bucket list last week when visiting Rome ✅

🌱 Let me tell you why should travel more and why it’s good for the Human Body …

🌱 Travel rewires our brains, creating new neurological pathways, improving neuroplasticity which helps memory, coordination and movement 🧠

🌱 Travel will give you a greater appreciation of life, creating more gratitude for your life and empathy for other people and cultures 🙏🏾

🌱 Travelling can boost your overall health, the Sun boosts both your mood and immune system, lowering stress as well as your risk of a heart attack. 🙂

So many benefits 🌱

How many of the 7 Wonders of the World have you been able to tick off your Bucket list? ✅

🇲🇽
Chichén Itzá in Mexico

🌱 I hope this serves as inspiration for you to go see more of the world and to live life more abundantly 🙏🏾

After spending 3 beautiful nights in the city of Rome I’m happy to be back in nature 🌱…

This Sunday I really had time to reflect! Don’t forget to check in with yourself from time to time…

✅ Stay hydrated
🌱 It’s summer, structured water from mountain springs, & streams flowing over rocks and cliffs are one of the best forms of hydration. Coconut water is also great too if you can get hold of some fresh coconut water! 🥥

✅ Stay grounded
🌱 With constant change & challenges it can be difficult sometimes but being out in nature always grounds me. (Take off your shoes too).

✅ Keep Active
🌱 Even with my injury I’m making a conscious effort to walk everywhere, keep it moving and to stay active. 💪🏾

Ohhh and loving my 👟

Journalling really helps you keep track and on top of these things! It’s also a safe space to write your thoughts and feelings from time to time. Why not get yourself a Wellness Journal and start today.📗

One of the highlights of seeing Rome has to be visiting as well as …

These pictures do not capture the beauty that my eye’s beheld & these pictures do not do it justice but Yh thought I’d post anyway 🫠

Pilgrimage for some, historical trip for others, either way it has to be done!🙏🏾

🌱 Spirituality comes under one of the 8 pillars of Wellness. It’s important to be open to different cultures and religions.

🌱 Think what are your personal belief systems, ethics, principles and morals?

🌱 It’s important to discover a sense of purpose and meaning to life.

Did you know The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world?

I Guess I’ve got another country ticked off my bucket list 😅✅

Also you may not have heard of Palazzo del Quirinale but it is a beautiful historical building in Rome, where the old Popes and Kings used to live.

It was the architecture for me, as well as the interior design, artwork, high ceilings ,fabrics and more 😍🤌🏾

So much gratitude 🙏🏾💜
It’s not something you see everyday…

Life has been moving pretty fast of late
I haven’t been posting in real time, as I can barely keep up with myself of late 😅

🇹🇷 Turkey was beautiful, definitely plan on exploring more of it at some point 🙏🏾

Thoughts and feelings from my journal…

The more I think about life, the more I realise - Life is truly an amalgamation of experiences, shared through time & space with other beings, we constantly serve each other through life lessons, whether good or bad.

Surely those lessons are worth writing down and sharing some day.

Also …

Life is what you make it

Being in nature should feel like home

Nothing is as it seems

Those judgemental of others are usually most judgemental of themselves

Quote of the day:

‘Better be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of misfortune. It is poverty in a rich man to despise the poor and ignorance in a wise man to despise the ignorant. Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater.’

Full moon fact:

A healthy women’s body should naturally be in sync with nature and the lunar cycle. It is not a myth, it’s just unfortunate this is not the case for most women due to the use of contraception, lack of connectivity to nature and various underlying health conditions.

In many cultures they associate the moon with feminine energy, aspects of life, such as birth, growth, and renewal.

In addition to this studies have been carried out and data collected …

Hope you are enjoying your weekend my loves 💫🌱

Favourite things to do, foods to eat & places to be out here in Rhodes… ft my new bikini 💜🙏🏾

Finally settled into my new routine
I lost my suitcase over two weeks ago after flying out to Italy, it was unsettling to say the least! ✈️

I’m telling you this because I had to make a decision to focus on my lost luggage or enjoy myself regardless and live in the moment. 💫

Here I am enjoying myself regardless, no my suitcase hasn’t been returned but I’m still here living life! Fortunately I had some clothes in my Cabin bag, so I can make do!

Currently reading a book called ‘The Seven Laws of Success’ aka ‘The Seven Laws of Life’ by Depaak Chopra which was recommended to me by 🙏🏾

This situation reminded me of the art of detachment, and so was a very humbling experience. A section in the book talks on the Laws of detachment Not only with things but people too , I would defo recommend 🌱

Everyone has challenges in life it’s how you deal with them that makes the difference. If you know you know…

Life’s not all sunshine and rainbows, it’s about learning how to dance in the storm. I’m so used to it now you wouldn’t know the difference 😅

Just wanted to share this with you, we go through it! I’ve been dealing with a lot more than a lost suitcase over the past couple months but such is life 🙂

If you need someone to talk to, give me shout! It feels great to become a Holistic Practitioner and be the person that I know I once needed it life. 🤗

It’s still ‘Mental Health Awareness week’
Check on a friend & in with yourself
