Release stress and improve life balance with a Yin Yoga session that connects body, mind and spirit. Experience the benefits of meditation in gentle and refreshing movements in our monthly Yin Yoga Sessions held the Last Wednesday of every month in The Montrave Hall, Lundin Links...🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Next Session Wednesday 28th Feb at 7.15pm
Bring pillows and blankets for comfort

This months theme: “Unwinding the Nervous System — From Doing to Being” 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Intention:
January can feel loud and demanding after the rush of “new year, new goals.” This session invites students to consciously step out of doing mode and into being mode, allowing the nervous system to downshift and recalibrate...🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Core message from this session is...

“Nothing needs fixing tonight. The body already knows how to soften when we give it time.”

🧘‍♀️ Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani) — General Health Benefits
If you don’t have any medical issues, this simple restorative pose can be surprisingly powerful for overall wellness...

🌿 1. Reduces Stress & Anxiety
This pose activates the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest” mode).
Slows heart rate
Calms racing thoughts
Lowers cortisol levels
Many people feel noticeably calmer within 5–10 minutes...

💤 2. Improves Sleep
Doing it before bed can:
Quiet the mind
Reduce physical tension
Help you fall asleep faster
It’s especially helpful if you feel “tired but wired...

🦵 3. Reduces Leg Fatigue
Great if you:
Sit or stand all day
Travel frequently
Exercise regularly
Elevation helps fluid drain from the legs, reducing heaviness...

❤️ 4. Supports Circulation
Gravity assists venous return (blood flowing back to the heart).
This can leave your legs feeling lighter and refreshed...

🧠 5. Mental Clarity
Because it’s mildly inverted and deeply relaxing:
It improves focus afterward
Helps with emotional reset
Encourages mindfulness
Think of it as a mini nervous-system reboot...

🧍‍♀️ 6. Gentle Stretch
It softly stretches:
Hamstrings
Lower back
Calves
Without intense effort...

⏱ How Long to Stay
Beginners: 5–10 minutes
Regular practice: 10–20 minutes
Add a pillow under hips for comfort..

🚫 Avoid or Modify If You Have:
Glaucoma
Serious neck injuries
Uncontrolled high blood pressure

🚗✨ Gave 'Lennon' my Beetle some well-needed TLC after all the bad weather… and it got me thinking...

After a long winter, we all feel a little worn down, a little dull, a little frazzled.
But spring is nearly here 🌷
The lighter mornings are coming.
We’ll start to feel the warmth on our faces.
Colour will return to our cheeks.
Energy will slowly come back.
Just like our cars need care after winter… so do we...

Here are a few simple ways to give yourself some much-needed TLC:

🌿 Move your body daily – Even a 20-minute walk in daylight can lift mood, boost energy and reset your mind.
🥗 Nourish yourself properly – Add colour to your plate. Fresh fruit, veg, good protein and plenty of water.
😴 Prioritise sleep – Earlier nights, less scrolling, more recovery.
🧠 Clear mental clutter – Journal, plan your week, or simply step outside for fresh air.
💛 Practice self-love – Speak to yourself kindly. You’ve made it through winter — that’s something to be proud of.
🤝 Reconnect – Meet a friend, join a class, start something new. Community lifts us...

Spring isn’t just about cleaning out cupboards…
It’s about resetting yourself too...

Let’s start feeling better — physically and mentally — one small step at a time 💪🌼

How to live to 103! Brandy, No boyfriends & positive thinking 🤣👌🤗 brilliant 🤣👌🤗 What a great attitude lol 🤣👌

I love not drinking too.
I used to be someone who never had an off button — I’d drink and party all night. But it started to affect my health. I had sore joints, kidney pain, and felt awful most of the time.
Choosing to stop was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I honestly don’t miss it. My nervous system doesn’t cope well around drunk people, so when I start to feel unsafe or uncomfortable, I simply leave. And that’s a great thing. I still enjoy the day or night, weddings, and parties — and when I’m ready, I go home.
I still dance. I still have fun. I just know when it’s time to go.
I’m not boring — if anything, I’m less boring now. I truly live my life the way I want to.
It’s your life. Do what feels right for you, not what society says you should do. 👌🤗😃

After the great result yesterday I thought i would do a post on sportsmen and fitness....

Ready to tackle your fitness goals like a pro? 🏉✨

Even elite athletes need more than just heavy lifting to stay at the top of their game! Former rugby star Ugo Monye is a massive advocate for Pilates, crediting it for helping him manage chronic pain and stay match-ready throughout his career.
During his professional days, Ugo dedicated an hour every single morning to a routine of:
✅ Pilates
✅ Core Work
✅ Massage

His top tip for us? You don’t need an hour to see the benefits! Even a 20-minute window of focused movement can transform your mobility and recovery...

At Backfit Sports Massage, we combine the power of restorative massage with the core-strengthening benefits of Pilates to keep you moving pain-free—just like the pros...
