When 80% would be enough!!

Have you ever tried hard in class to touch your toes and bend over backwards, and instead of enjoying the pose you beat yourself up because the person beside you makes it look so easy as she rests her head on her knees!

When we try hard we also invite tension into the effort, destroying the aim of the pose and any progress we could be making.....

The ego wants perfection, yet thats not what class is about. If you can relax in your body you will stretch much deeper, pulling back from trying to hard and feeling the pose work, will reward you in so many ways.

Yet life is like that we give 110% when 80% would be enough. The road to perfection is paved with tension. Fear and it's sister failure put pressure on us to do the job well despite the consequences.

Next time you do class, dont try so hard, instead breathe into the pose and smile.
Notice how you melt towards your legs and fold effortlessly. When we overdeliver the body tightens up, the breath changes and the fascia tightens. We might even feel tighter after the class due to the struggle.

Have you ever tried to people please and inside you are tense and you feel mentally drained. Compare that to feeling relaxed with friends and uplifted afterwards! Your body responds to your thoughts and feelings. Energy follows thought!

So if your demotivated because you feel stiff and tight. Soften and relax! Keep stretching and stop trying so hard! 😊

Everybody is different!!!!

MAKE the TIME.....

Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today.....

I hear this all the time....

I don't have time to exercise....

How much Space do take up in your own life?

Do you think someday I will start that programme...

What about right now, planing the seed of treating your body like your most powerful asset. Have a clear plan, a plan that everything starts to shift in a positive direction!

Self-acceptance before self-improvement!

Confidence and self-worth dosn't come from the cosmetic counter, it starts with how you feel about yourself!!

When you don't exercise and self-care it affects how you sleep, how you breathe, how you see yourself.

It shows up in your everyday life, that tightness in your chest, exhaustion, aching shoulders, a nervous system that never feels totally relaxed. Your seem to go on automatic and your Moods rule the day!

Menopause, life circumstances, health. grief can sometimes show it's self in your body, in the form of illness, fatigue and stress.

In Class or online I explained we are not training for a six-pack we are moving, Stretching, and breathing to age well, and have a good quality of life.

You want to age well and die young! 😊

Maybe your life is built around everyone else, now its time for you!

What you do daily is the future you, it ripples through every part of your life.

Everything you are looking for is also looking for you!

It's not what you think you are thats holds you back. It's what you think your not!

Your body is a instrument of your mind...

Your mind controls your results....

Bring more of you to the surface of your life...

Your thoughts are a strong energy, just dont believe everything they tell you....

My new February Online Classes will target
and improve Health & Welness. If you have been deep in self procrastination. Imagine yourself healthier, happier and more intune with how you want to be.

Manifesting....
In a busy fast paced world, balance and contentment often feel out of reach.
Seasoul Mini Retreats are aimed at individual's who wish to cultivate harmony between what you wish for and the world you live in. We look at....

The inner power of collective energy to manifest your wishes and goals.

The role of pre-celebration to attract positive outcomes.

Embracing the art of manifesting and watch as your present and future transform. One goal at a time.

We are good at looking at the negetive. Listening to the self critic and stepping back instead of stepping out.

The Retreat Days and Retreat Breaks in Donegal will focus on the positive through Yoga, Pilates and Mindfulness practice.

Bringing to light the gentle power of celebrating your hopes and dreams, and bringing your wishes into reality.

We all face hardship and at times feel like giving up. But taking time for yourself is a opportunity for invigoration and growth. It should be part of our journey to make our dreams come true.

The real value of life emerges from within. Yet we are encouraged to make ourselves happy and content by looking outward and changing ourselves to fit in!

A Japanese concept 'nakama' means a connection deep in the spirit from a common purpose and mission, laced with trust, compassion, and energy all wrapped up and transcended into everyday life.

Looking forward to hosting these days and breaks in the months ahead.

This very moment is a Blessing....
Enjoy every minute....
