Establishing a sense of Connection helps create a sense of Community.

This rings true be it at work or elsewhere.

Have you noticed that none of the suggestions - Savouring, Gifting, Being Kind and Slowing Down need to cost anything other than your time.

Connecting with those around you, helps to create or strengthen a sense of community.

Throughout the Mental Health Awareness Week, each of the Lunch and Learn sessions shared insights into how important the sense of belonging is in maintaining a positive mental health.

If you'd like to listen the full session just search on either youtube or spotify to find our channel (The session is titled Micro Moments).

Another Pillar of Wellbeing that can support our sense of positive wellbeing.

Giving can take all sorts of different forms such as (these are not exclusive)
- Time
- Expertise
- Mentoring

It can take place at home, work or in your community so there really are no constraints to what or how you give.

With this in mind, it's perhaps not surprising that some organisations encourage their colleagues to spend time volunteering their time in the local community.

It's worth noting that both the giver and the recipient will experience a positive impact as a result of the act of giving.
You can obviously donate to worthwhile organisations or charity, though this may have less of an impact as you may feel less engaged with the wider community around you.

We spend so much time focusing on our physical health — but our mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important.

From our perspective, that sentiment couldn't be more true. It's probably over the last few years we've consciously been more proactive in being aware of our emotional and mental health.

How are you really feeling right now?

Do you have tools to manage stress?

Are your thoughts lifting you up or weighing you down?

The Wellbeing Scorecard helps you reflect on your current state of mind and emotions. It highlights where you may need a little more support — and gives you tailored suggestions to help restore balance.

Because our wellbeing begins on the inside.

👉 Take the Scorecard today and explore how your emotional and mental wellbeing is shaping your everyday life.

To explain the images....
1. Challenging ourselves to do new things
2. Making sure we have quiet time together
3. Cold water swimming to help clear the mind
4. Eating well - consistently
5. Getting up early to start the morning positively

We aren’t meant to do life alone.

Strong connections — with friends, family, colleagues, or community groups — are one of the biggest drivers of long-term wellbeing.

When you feel supported, included, and connected, everything else becomes easier.

And in my mind it doesn't matter if as part of a community if you are an active participant or volunteer, are having a shared experience at an event or spending time with those locally.

Whatever activity provides a sense of connection doesn't really matter - so long as you are experiencing a sense of community.

The challenge is when or if those connections fade, stress and isolation can creep in.

The Wellbeing Scorecard helps you reflect on how connected you feel to those around you — and gives you ideas on how to strengthen your sense of community.

Because thriving is easier when you do it together.

👉 Check in with yourself today — how strong are your connections?

Monitoring the sense of Community and Connection is one of the elements included in our FREE Wellbeing Scorecard.

Why not take it today....it's will only take a few minutes and will provide some invaluable insights to your overall wellbeing.

There are 5 subtle signs that someone within your community maybe struggling with their mental health...

1. Changes in communication
2. Changes in routine and productivity
3. Reduced self care
4. Heightened emotions
5. Altered behavior

If we spot these changes, it's then how we approach the person we're concerned about is equally important.

This short clip was taken from one of our Lunch and Learns during Mental Health Awareness Week.

If you'd like to listen to any of the sessions you can find them on What's Your Tonic? on Spotify.

...it’s built from the small habits you repeat every single day.

✨ How you start your morning.
✨ The food and drinks you choose.
✨ The way you wind down in the evening.

The problem? Most of us don’t stop to reflect on whether those daily habits are lifting us up — or slowly draining our energy.

The Wellbeing Scorecard helps you pause and reflect.

You’ll see how your lifestyle choices are influencing your overall wellbeing, and get practical suggestions you can act on straight away.

👉 Don’t leave your lifestyle to chance.

Find out which habits are helping — and which might be holding you back.

Quite clearly, a morning coffee is somewhat of a habit in our household - either get the day 'going' or after an open water swim or one of our classes...it's a great way to catch up within our community (but more about that in another post).

...but it doesn’t have to mean sweating it out at the gym every day.

Being active is about finding ways to move that feel good for you:

🚶‍♀️ A lunchtime walk.
🧘 A few minutes of stretching
🎶 Dancing (going out or in the kitchen!)
🌳Getting out in the open air
🛶 Getting out (or in) on the water

The Wellbeing Scorecard shows how your current activity levels are supporting (or limiting) your wellbeing — and gives you simple ways to build more movement into your daily life.

Because the science is clear: regular movement boosts energy, reduces stress, and supports long-term health.

👉 Take the Scorecard today and discover how your activity habits are shaping your wellbeing.

Making the most of your time on the mountains.

It's not always like this - but when it is- it makes all the preparation time worthwhile.
* Balance
* Stamina
* Flexibility
* Endurance

It would be a shame to let such great conditions be lost as you aren't ready for it.

As keen skiers, yoga teachers and fitness enthusiasts we created the SkiFit program so that we, and others, can make the most of our time in the mountains.

We hope others will want to too...

Skiing is a dynamic activity...
..so is yoga.

Throughout our SkiFit on demand yoga classes we take you through dynamic sequences that will improve flexibilty, mobility and strength - all of which are so important when skiing.

The sessions will also focus on improving your balance - afterall we need to stay standing / on the skis.

In this short clip we make minor adjustments to the chair pose to show how our center of balance changes. As we head down the pistes we need to contstandly adapt to the lumps, bumps and uneven terrain - this will be a good starting point for you!

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!
