Cornwall 2025- Cold Water Sploosh

I’m not sure I’d agree with Shannon that it wasn’t ’that cold’….it was 12 degrees is I guess warm in comparison to the cold tub.

There are so many benefits to regular cold dipping- both mental and physical….(you can read about them on our blogs or podcast)….

But for us it’s as much about getting out, not taking ourselves too seriously ….maybe getting a few strange looks on the way….

It’s been a gorgeous long weekend in the wild elements of nature in Cornwall- wind, rain, sea and a little bit of sun.

Some runs, openwater dips, exploring and some lie ins in a warm refuge on the cliff.

December get away - such a great time to get away…and we’ve avoided not only the crowds but Christmas markets!

Perfect

In the My Life Tonic Wellbeing Scorecard, one of the sections that contributes to our overall wellbeing is that of Community or Social Connection.

Have you ever noticed that there may be some people in your life that negatively affect your own sense of self worth or de -energise you.

For want of a better term, can you distance (or declutter) yourself from people that have a negative impact on your emotinal wellbeing. Decluttering can take various forms without cutting off ties, but you may become more detached or less dependent on a given relationship.

Community is such an important factor contributing to our wellbeing- so it's important to ensure that we connect with those that have a positive impact on our emotional and mental wellbeing.

I don't do Yoga - I don’t know what to do.”

Start here. ✨

This simple Thread the Needle sequence is a beautiful way to explore spinal mobility, articulation, and overall spinal health — no experience required.

Each movement gently opens the chest, shoulders, and back, helping to release tension and build awareness through the spine.

Hold each position for 5 steady breaths, then repeat on the other side.

1️⃣ Raise your left hand upwards – Open through your chest and reach to the sky.

2️⃣ Lower your left shoulder and arm to the floor – Keep your hand at eye level, feeling the gentle twist through your spine.

3️⃣ Raise your right arm – Deepen the twist, broadening across the collarbones and upper back.

4️⃣ Extend your right leg to the end of the mat – Toes anchor for balance, or lift the leg for a gentle challenge.

🌿 These mindful movements build spinal mobility and stability while calming the nervous system — perfect for resetting the body and mind.

Yoga doesn’t have to be complicated — it’s about moving with awareness and breathing with intention.

If you'd like to get into the habit of doing some regular yoga - we host weekly online sessions that are open to all levels and also have a library of over 400 classes you can do anytime.

Just comment below or contact us to find out more.

Mental health affects more people that you may think; across all sections of our community from both young to old, male and female.

Particularly in the run up to Christmas, the sense of belonging and being part of a community could not be felf more acutely.

This short clip from one of our Mental Health Awareness Week Lunch and Learns, uses an example of a local Christmas Eve Run as being a way to bring people together whilst offering support to one another.

You may be surprised by some of the statistics shared highlighting the number of people that struggle with their mental health.

If you'd like to listen to the full session, where I share queues that may suggest someone is struggling with their mental health, just search on either youtube or spotify.

Take the first step...

Every expert you admire once stood exactly where you are — unsure, learning, experimenting, and occasionally failing.

Progress rarely feels perfect in the moment, but growth depends on starting.

This week, celebrate every small step, every brave beginning, and every lesson learned.

Whether you’re learning a skill, improving a habit, or simply finding your balance again — you’re moving forward.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about persistence.

It really doesn’t get better than this!

Though, if I was to be picky, some blue sky would have made it a perfect run.

This is why getting skifit is worth it in my eyes...it doesn’t matter what level you are, getting skifit will mean you can make the most of your time on the slopes...
..it does’t matter

- whatever level you are
- what slopes you are skiing
- how many years you’ve been skiing
- which colour slopes you are on
Improved balance, fitness, flexibility, joint mobitlity, stamina and endurance will enable you to improve your technique.

I think being called a euromincer is compliment.

Why not get skifit this season?

Our Story

Yoga Tonic UK is comprised of Tim and Shannon Phillis who are both RYT200 yoga teachers (YogaLondon). We teach classes from our home gym in Cookham, near Maidenhead and Marlow. Tim has enjoyed sports all his life, starting with team sports in school through to ultra-distance running and triathlon. After suffering a knee injury, Tim took up yoga to strengthen the muscles around his knee and core. Tim is a mindful teacher and has vast experience coaching teams, triathlon clubs and circuits classes. Shannon has had a love of running and cycling for years and started taking up yoga regularly when moving to the UK from California in 2000. Shannon always wanted to become a yoga teacher but got distracted with triathlon, where she met her husband in the slow swimmers lane at Fulham pools. Yoga used to be a supplement rather than a training session but if ever missing a week of yoga, the muscles would feel it. Tim and Shannon now believe that yoga can be a training session on it's own but instead of just focusing the body, it also focuses the mind improving overall well being (a bit cliche but true). All are welcome and feedback is always appreciated!
