Reclaiming Rest
A restorative evening

Tuesday 3 December 2024
Golden Hill Pavilion, Henleaze
6.30pm-8.30pm

There are many pathways to rest. But also many distractions and obstacles that can make it tricky to feel truly rested, without taking ourselves away from our day to day lives.

Most of us want to live from a place of ease, to thrive and show up for others as much as we can but often there’s not enough juice left in the tank. A cultural message that ‘more productivity is better’ can leave our nervous system chronically dysregulated and under cared for.

When we rest..

Can we feel our body drop, breath steady itself, and our mind find centre too?

Under the gaze of low candlelight, grounding music, blankets and bolsters - come and observe an unravelling and allow the wisdom of your body to come home to itself.

Through restorative postures and simple breathing techniques supported by neuroscience learn ways to reclaim your right to rest and support a life with more balance.

Feeling 😀 that the free community spaces are being used for those that want to practice in a group, without the struggle to finance it.

There’s still one space in Friday’s lunchtime yoga for anyone that needs it, no questions asked.

Details on my website for eligibility.

Small happenings over the last month away from teaching. ✨ Simple and unspectacular but easy to oversee for more shiny things. 👀

- January morning glow up
- The inside of a big old tree
- Far stretching Devon views
- Family on our farm
- My dad next to a home grown Christmas tree
- The dirty face of a dog free to roam
- I’m always liking Lichen

Returning tomorrow with a little more vitality than I did mid December. 🤧🤒

Classes are brimming with that hopeful January vibe. ✨🙌 Look forward to being part of it with you.

What peace can feel like ✨

The Lakes was ok..

If you like, unimaginable views, morning and evenings fresh water swims, kids being occupied by nature, NO PHONE SIGNAL or 3G, hot days and cools nights in a cozy cottage, sleeping like a baby and hanging with your best buds 😍

Being present and having gratitude for everything around us was all the practice I did that week.

In contrast to today’s beautiful weather, now it’s summer I’ve started practicing whatever the weather outside…unless it’s thunder and lightening and torrential downpour ⛈ This wind really helps to whips up the prana ✨⚡️😃

Solitary sunrise ✨ French addition

A wave is ocean, and when it rises up, it is given the name ‘wave’. When it is given this name, it is like it has an independent existence. It seems to roll along the surface, which is all water—water flowing in water— and this we call a life. Then it subsides and this is called death. Actually nothing happened to the water. It is just a natural movement, but because name and form are attributed to it, it appears as a separate existence, or entity. All the while it is only the play of water rising, flowing, subsiding—no story. Mind makes the story by creating an illusory identity. In true understanding, it is all one. When the identity rises up, we celebrate it as a birth and when it flows, we call it life. When it subsides, we call it death and grieve. But really,
if you look from the perspective of the True, nothing really happened except the dreamed life of a ghost comes to an end.

Been feeling a little ungrounded of late..

Barefoot, feeling the warm water and sand through my toes and the textures and contours of the smooth rocks, allowing the intrinsic muscles of the feet to work in navigating an unsteady path. Plugging myself in to the earth underneath my feet, my roots, my foundations.

Exhale. ✨

I dreamt a sequence and tried to conjure it the morning after but only fragments came back to me.✨✨

I didn’t take any active wear to Turkey and did more yoga for myself than I have in a while. Is there a lesson there?! 😉
