Eye pillows really are fab way to enhance you Sivasana experience ! I was sceptical until I tried one but once you have you never go back! Not only does the increased darkness and relaxing lavender scent help you sink that little but deeper into relaxation but the gentle pressure on the eyelids stimulates the vagus nerve which is key in helping restore that vital balance to our fight or flight system's.

Action for the day... intermittently check where you are holding tension throughout the day!
Is you Jaw clenched?
Are your shoulders up by your ears, are your fingers or toes gripping?
Is your abdomen tense? What part of your body is clinging on to tension?
If you are completely relaxed then Bravo!!!
But I bet you that more often then not you will find some sneaky unhelpful tension somewhere in your body!

Take a breath and see if you can exhale and release!
Check in again and see if it's snuck back!!
By increasing awareness we can take more control of these areas.

My wonderful mum has offered to make some of her lovely lavender scented eye bags (with removable washable covers) if anyone would be interested in purchasing one? They will be £8 and we've decided to donate all of the profits to the Versus Arthritis Charity! https://www.versusarthritis.org/

Eye pillows really are fab! I was sceptical until I tried one but once you have you never got back! Not only does the increased darkness and relaxing lavender smell help you sink that little but earsier into relaxation but the gentle pressure on the eyelids stimulates the vagus nerve which is key in helping restore that vital balance to our fight or flight system's.

No pressure at all but if anyone interested let me know!!!!

I very often see people with neck and shoulder pain. Often this is treated with massage and stretches but maybe not as often with neck strengthening exercises. If pretty much any other body part is sore a physio will, alongside other things, almost always gets you strengthenig the muscles surrounding the sore area. And the neck is no different. Lets get our necks stronger and help banish that pain!

This is a short video that demonstrates an amazing exercise for strengthening the often forgotten about muscles that support the front of our necks.Great for...

With my maternity leave at an end and with a new exciting career path opening up to me back in the NHS I've spent a few days sat in front of a computer screen doing some online learning and WOW have I been reminded how absolutey horrific prolonged sitting is for our bodies! I mean I tell people all the time to get UP and MOVE but nothing confirms the negatives more then experiencing it! My neck is in bits and my bum muscles feel like they've checked out on holiday!!!
So with that in mind I've recorded a few short bum activating clips for you desk workers to enjoy..... I beg you to give those sad muscles a bit of action, they will love your for it!!!

I plan on adding some neck energisers soon too.....
The key with these is to focus on isolating the hip joint and not allowing the back to be the hinge point!!!
