Not long to Christmas! Whoop whoop 😊

At Clacton Viv is covering the two Mondays in-between, 22nd and 29th December. The Friday evening classes will be cancelled.

The Yellow poem that I've been reading out recently 💛

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GPSvdiMTA/

I looked up the word ‘yellow’ the other day.

I found so many shades of yellow that they had been distinguished by words like
gold
honey
daffodil.

I found words like fire and sand and champagne and lemon and sunbeam and I even found a song.

Now imagine someone telling yellow that it’s ‘just yellow’.
When yellow is a sunbeam and a daffodil and fire.
When yellow is a song.

Without yellow, we couldn’t make orange and we couldn’t create green and our world would be far less colourful because of it.

Yellow’s true colours are not limited to one thing.
And neither are yours.

Some days you are dark and fiery and intense.
Some days you are rich and bright and vibrant.
Some days you are buttercups and dandelions and some days you are champagne and a song.
And without you, someone’s life would be far less bright and far less beautiful.

You are you as
yellow is yellow.

And the world needs you.
Because, no matter what you think, you are not ‘just you’.

You are so much more.

💛💛💛

Happy 1st December 😊

As mentioned in class this morning. Have a look at this video about neck discomfort. In my opinion it's super interesting....

This is only advise - please seek medical advice!! if you have persistent headaches, dizziness, tension or ongoing symptoms. And only preform movements that...

Just what we do in class folks! With the exception of using weights x

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

We often say, “I'm going to treat myself,” and we mean by eating cake with extra icing, by booking a weekend away; by buying a new pair of shoes.

We talk about indulgence as if it’s the only language our tired hearts understand. We throw glitter at the ache, sugar at the silence.

But rarely do we say, “I'm going to treat myself kindly.” With soft mornings and no guilt. With patience when I forget, and grace when I fall short. We forget that gentleness is a gift too; that rest is not earned like a badge, but granted. Not in exchange for doing, but simply for being.

Maybe the real treat is not the cake, but the way we speak to ourselves after a long day. Maybe it's not the getaway, but the way we stand our ground and keep our faith when things get hard.

Maybe kindness is the sweetest thing we keep forgetting to serve ourselves: keep forgetting to treat ourselves to.

Yes, treat yourself to the cake, and the holiday and the shoes.

But make sure they're not a substitute...
for treating yourself with love.
