Lorna Green Yoga

I’m Lorna Green and I show people how to live first and worry less in a world that doesn’t make It did not then, nor does it now!

For more than 25 years I’ve been working in the spa and wellness industry with a focus on the practice and teaching of yoga. Like so many teachers, my path to this profession hasn’t been an easy one...

I started going to yoga classes when I was a teenager. I showed up each week (if I could be bothered) focused only on the physical benefits and the nice sleep at the end. It’s fair to say my path

to enlightenment wasn't obvious at that time. Much of that early practice was spent in a permanent state of sweaty frustration. I'd try to convince my body, without success, that it possessed the abilities of an Olympic gymnast. I never reached the state of Nirvana that those around me appeared to have. As we all sat crossed legged, with our palms together, my squirmy body and distracted mind would have me counting the seconds until I could get moving again. Convinced I was not cut out for the yoga life, I gave up. Despite my best efforts to stay away from this yoga malarky, it was always on my radar. Working in the spa industry exposed me to places where yoga and other wellness practices were an everyday occurrence. I continued to dabble and educate myself little by little. Then came the part of my life that changed everything. Illness, bankruptcy, loss of a 16-year relationship and some epic detachment from sanity put me firmly back on the path of yoga. Growth is painful and my challenges were and indeed still are, no different to anyone else’s. I’ve battled self-doubt, self-loathing, blame, anger, guilt and loneliness along the way. The beauty of walking such a path is that amongst the jaggy thorns there’s self- discovery and incredible ‘a-ha’ moments. The moments where you know, deep in your core, that it’s all going to be OK. Yoga practice can seem really intimidating from the outside. It can feel inaccessible to some and too ‘woo woo’ for others. Everyone deserves to feel great in their body and mind, and right here is where that starts. You can work with me in person and online. Stop saying maybe, start saying YES! Get in touch to discuss a tailored package that works with your life, wherever you are!

A few days ago the Spring equinox passed making it officially the season of Spring here in the Northern hemisphere. At this time your body naturally seeks out movement, sunlight and fresh air. It should feel good right? But maybe you are finding the Spring transition a little challenging and wondering what’s wrong. You’ve looked forward to the return of the light and now that’s here everything feels a bit off.

Don’t fret, this is quite normal so here’s some tips to help you navigate it. ⬇️

🤪Feeling jittery? That’s your serotonin and dopamine levels adjusting to more sunlight, which can leave you feeling restless. Your hormone levels—cortisol, oestrogen, and testosterone—are also in flux due to the longer days.

Quick Fixes: Stay hydrated, try grounding exercises like barefoot walks, enjoy some herbal tea, or take some calming breaths with an essential oil such as lavender.

🎢 Energy roller coaster? Longer days can mess with your sleep-wake cycle, causing bursts of energy or sudden fatigue.

Energy Management: Catch those morning rays first thing, keep a regular sleep schedule, and keep well watered during the day. Hydration is key at this time.

🙈Breaking out? It’s probably the extra oil and pollen.

Skin Tip: Stick to your regular skincare routine, hydrate (can you see a pattern?) and boost those omega-3s through the food choices you make. You might also benefit from adding a probiotic too.

😫Achy joints? It’s not your imagination. Blame the shifting barometric pressure.

Ease the Ache: Soak in an Epsom salt bath or warm up with a heated pad and aromatherapy. I’m particularly fond of warming aromas like frankincense and ginger.  
🌼Remember, spring brings renewal but give your body time to catch up.

🤔Have you noticed any of these during the spring transition?

FULL MOON | Today is full moon and it’s also a super moon. At this time the moon’s energy is intensified, urging the release of whatever’s been keeping you stuck.

The Hunter’s moon signifies a new energetic period where we can take action and make changes based on what we learned during the Harvest Moon period last month.

Reflecting back on that Harvest Moon I’m reminded of how I got to dance in the waves with a group of women who both inspired and astounded me in equal measure. Under the full moon we shared our dreams and took fearless action.

Today I may not be dancing in the waves but I choose to use the bright light of the super full moon to visualise my targets and, metaphorically, take aim at them…. 🎯

Who is Lorna Green?

I’m Lorna Green and I show people how to live first and worry less in a world that doesn’t make it easy.

I was born in Scotland but I made the world my home. I laugh super loud and sometimes I talk so fast it's hard to tell if I'm still breathing. I love to hear stories, share ideas and try new things. In my 40-some years of living I’ve come to realsie a universal truth. No-one knows what they’re doing. We’re all just making this s**t up as we go along…life’s too short not to!

How I became a yogi

I started going to yoga classes when I was a teenager. I showed up each week (if I could be bothered) focused only on the physical benefits and the nice sleep at the end.

I never reached the state of Nirvana that those around me appeared to have. As we all sat crossed legged, with our palms together, my squirmy body and distracted mind would have me counting the seconds until I could get moving again. Convinced I was not cut out for the yoga life, I gave up.
