🌿 Śavāsana: The Courage to Be Still 🌞

At the end of each yoga session, we come into Śavāsana - often called Co**se Pose. On the surface, it looks simple: lying still on the earth. But inside, it's a profound practice in itself.

🧘‍♀️ I often contemplate:
How often do we truly allow ourselves to pause, slow down, let go and just be?

In our fast-moving lives, Śavāsana can feel unfamiliar - even uncomfortable. Stillness can reveal what we’ve been avoiding. That’s okay.

💬 It’s not about achieving perfect peace or "clearing the mind" - it’s about setting the intention to rest, to soften, to listen inward, however that looks at the time.

✨ With practice, Śavāsana teaches us to:

🌬 Deeply surrender without feelings of guilt

🧠 Effectively integrate movement, breath, and experience

🌱 Practice feeling safe doing nothing

💛 Allow presence to emerge in the pause

Whether it feels soulfully restful or slightly uneasy, what matters is showing up with intention.

Come lie back, feel the earth support you, and for a moment, let your body remember what it means to simply rest.

The Birth Network North Wiltshire's Pregnancy Information Evening will be an opportunity for expectant parents to find out about local services for pregnancy, birth and the very first weeks of parenthood, as well as to meet other expectant families - a great way to build your own support network!

The evening is totally free to attend, and all attendees will get a free goody bag, with information about local services (as well as a few other goodies).

Pregnancy, birth and new baby services represented at the event will include North Wiltshire HomeBirthers, Devizes, Melksham and Calne Breastfeeding Support, Gemma Moore Hypnobirthing, Optimum Doula, The Melksham Movement Clinic, Tracey Andresen Reflexology, Optimum Bumps, The Mother Rite, Neptune Aquatics, Swindon and Devizes Sling Library, Affinity Bodyworks, Optimum Nursing Bras, and Birthworks .

Although you do not need to book in order to attend, it would be helpful if anyone planning to attend does book tickets, so we have a rough idea of how many of you to expect: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pregnancy-information-evening-tickets-1368200898719

Litha 💛 Summer Solstice

🌞The Sun has reached his zenith - highest point in the sky, creating the longest day + shortest night of the year and marking the beginning of Summertime in the northern hemisphere.

✨️A wonderful time to celebrate vitality, light, abundance and renewal.

👋Holding space for the Mums who couldn't breastfeed when they so desperately wanted to.

🤱🏼If you are one of the lucky people who's community have a FREE Breastfeeding Peer Support Group - held by qualified Breastfeeding Support volunteers, then there is a supportive place for you to access where you can find companionship and help with any Breastfeeding challenges.

🫂But where is the safe space for Mums who feel sadness and perhaps guilt or even anger around their Breastfeeding experiences or lack thereof?

🌳If you or someone you know would like to join us for a mindful walk in the calming Wiltshire countryside, then drop a comment or send me a message to let me know you are interested.

💓This is a donation based event to prevent financial barriers to support.

If you would like to be involved as a facilitator let me know ✨️
