First time skiing with the fam 💫 it was intense 😅 but we learned a lot and some new skills some would even say “we found ourselves “ 😂 isn’t that right John 🤗

I have been humbled 😅 I allowed myself a break over Christmas for a few days. Ha! That turned into 2.5 weeks 😳 it got to the stage where I felt I lost my mojo when it came to exercise… because for the first time I my life I didn’t want to. Like nothing… no yoga, no walking, no weights, nothing!

Day after the school break I went for a run with my 3 kids I got blinded by the sun and my mouth caught a rope. I fell badly so I needed time to heal. That turned into 2.5 weeks.

To top it off I ate lots of all the stuff you shouldn’t 🤭 (my daughter who loves me was hugging me in bed and she said “ mum your 6 pack has turned to jelly) …. 😂 it was innocent she is 8.

Please note … I have never been on a diet in my life…. I never weigh myself ever! I just know by my clothes…. And then I tweak what I’m eating. It’s simply cut out the sugar. I don’t do exercise for weight control. I do it for how it makes me feel ✨ strong, resilient, energetic, powerful, mental clarity, and it brings me joy.

I didn’t panic (even though I didn’t feel great)

I gave myself grace

I slowed down for the first time in a long time!

So yesterday I returned… a nice gentle cycle for 30 mins and yoga for 30 mins.

Today I did weights. Slightly killed me 🤓

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions…. I do goals I want to achieve within the year and we do this as a family… the kids list out also what they want to achieve.

However things always don’t go to plan… I didn’t think I would be hit by a rope. We are human we fall and it might take a bit of time but you can get back up. It might take a bit of work in fact it does and you have to be committed and the only results you get is through consistency, consistency and consistency.

Start by writing one thing down you want to achieve. Pin it somewhere you can see it daily. Make it happen.

I love doing and I try to incorporate a form of yoga every single day as is great for me with many benefits but it is NOT the only exercise i do.

I lift weights 3 days a week…. And I love it!! This has been a steady game changer for me and has made my yoga practice better. Plus with the big 50 just around the corner it is one of the key elements to help me navigate the changes in hormones and bone health.

I also walk for an hour 3 days a week (we are blessed to live beside Garvagh forest) and this without doubt helps mental health, heart health, immunity, sleep and just the simple connection with nature .. particularly this time of year with the glorious colours.

This is what I do for me so that I feel good, strong, healthy and to be around to annoy my family for as long as possible 😅, inspire my children , be fully present for everyone who comes to my classes 🫶

If you want to attend one of my yoga classes get in touch 🙏
