Live, Love, Yoga - Kay O’Connor

Have you heard of triggers? Those moments where something small sends your nervous system into overdrive?

A glimmer is the opposite.

It’s a tiny spark of something good. A moment of ease. Laughter that catches you off guard. The warmth of sun on your face. Your tea hitting perfectly. The way your body settles into a stretch. Your shoulders relaxed without you having to think about it.
They’re everywhere once you start noticing them.

Here’s what I think is different from affirmations, affirmations ask your mind to believe something. “I am strong. I am capable.” But there’s often a gap between what you’re saying and what you actually feel. Glimmers bypass that gap.

A glimmer is a feeling, something your nervous system recognises as genuinely good, genuinely safe, genuinely true in that moment. You’re not trying to convince yourself of anything. You’re recognising something real that’s already happening. You’re associating a positive feeling with what you’re experiencing, and that lands differently in your body.

The more you notice them, the more you feel them. Your baseline shifts. Not because you’ve told yourself to be more grateful, but because you’re genuinely experiencing moments of ease and connection throughout your day.

This week, notice your glimmers. Where did you feel a spark today? When did something land right?
Because the shift happens quietly, one glimmer at a time.

Happy Monday

Women’s circle - An evening of connection

📅 12th June | 7-9pm
📍Place Eight Wellness

🔗 https://bookwhen.com/liveloveyoga/e/ev-s5nbs-20260612190000

You’re invited to step away from the noise, the to-do lists, the endless holding space for everyone else and come just as you are.

This is a trauma-informed space where we gather to:
🧘‍♀️ Move gently together
🤝 Connect authentically with other women
🧠 Explore what’s really going on beneath the surface through guided conversation
💛Create space for reflection and being heard

No experience needed. No perfect version of yourself required.

Just bring your presence, your truth, and perhaps the part of you that’s been waiting for permission to soften.

Breath deep. Move freely. Live. Love.

A monthly trauma-informed, body-based women’s circle, gentle, supportive space centered around nervous system regulation, safety, reconnection, and community.

Ever notice how your body knows something your mind hasn’t caught up with yet?

That’s the polyvagal theory in action.
Our vagus nerve, the longest nerve in the body is essentially our nervous system’s communication highway.

It connects our brain to our heart, lungs, and gut, & it’s constantly reading the room, assessing whether we’re safe or under threat.

For those of us in high-stress roles (policing, emergency services, frontline work), understanding this has been genuinely transformative.

When we’re in prolonged activation, hypervigilance, racing thoughts, that tension you carry home, our vagus nerve is stuck in a protection pattern. Our body thinks it’s still at work.

This is where somatic practices come in. Yoga, breathwork, cold water immersion, grounding techniques, these are tools that help recalibrate your nervous system, telling your body: “You’re safe now. You can come back.”

Understanding the polyvagal theory changed how I approach my own wellbeing.

It’s not about positive thinking, it’s about giving your nervous system the embodied experience of safety.

What nervous system regulation practice has made a real difference for you? 💛

Something meaningful is unfolding on Thursday evening and I feel so honoured to be part of it.

I’ve been asked to host a private, bespoke event for some very special people at a truly significant moment in their lives.

The trust they’ve placed in me to hold space for them means everything.

This is exactly what I love about this work.

Being invited into people’s most meaningful moments and offering something that genuinely supports them through it. 💛

So in the lead up & planning, I’m making sure to carve out time for my own self care because turning up fully for others starts with turning up fully for yourself. 🥰

Interested to learn how I may be able to support you… get in touch.

Join us for our monthly trauma-informed, body-based women’s circle. A gentle, supportive space centered around nervous system regulation, safety, reconnection, and community.

This circle is for any woman who feels a pull towards slowing down, reconnecting with her body, and being in a space where she can show up just as she is.

Whether you’re:
- Going through something right now
- Have been through something in the past
- Feeling disconnected or a little “off” but not sure why
Longing for deeper connection and supportive community, this space may be for you.

Each monthly gathering will include gentle, trauma-informed practices, body-based self-regulation tools, grounding, reflection, and optional sharing. There is no fixing, no pressure to speak, and no expectation to have anything figured out.

This women’s circle is open to all women.

There’s something truly powerful about women coming together, holding space, lifting each other up, and being seen without judgment.

In my latest blog, I share the importance of reconnecting not just with yourself, but with other women… building genuine connections, finding your tribe, and remembering that you don’t have to do life alone.

When women support women, something shifts, confidence grows, walls soften, and real, meaningful connection begins. ✨

If you’ve been craving deeper connection, this is your invitation.

I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of awe lately, the kind that quietly settles into your chest and lingers. It’s coming from the women who continue to step into my circle.Each time someone new walks through the door, she brings with her an entirely unique energy. New stories. New layers. New l...
