People unable to balance on one leg 'twice as likely to die early'
https://mol.im/a/10937783

I often talk about the importance of being able to balance and practice balancing postures in almost every yoga and qi gong practice. If you’d like to improve your balance a regular practice could really help 🦩 🧘‍♀️

Researchers in Brazil found that those who couldn't stand on one leg for 10 seconds were 84 per cent more likely to die within the next decade than those who completed the exercise.

Who’s joining me on 21st December?

Following the locked down festive season of 2020, the pressure is on to make Christmas 2021 bigger than ever, but how do you navigate the festive season when you have a chronic pain condition? Join a conversation with Lyndsey Hayes and Caroline Burwood who between them have decades of experience with chronic pain as they review their top tips to help you enjoy the festive season.

Lyndsey Hayes:
Following a lower back injury over 20 years ago resulting in years of chronic back pain, Lyndsey found relief and ultimately resolution through yin yoga (which she now teaches). She now helps others recovering from back pain through her holistic back pain recovery programme, Get Your Life Back. Lyndsey is a member of Stress Illness Recovery Practitioners Association (SIRPA) and also SIRPA trained.

Caroline Burwood:
Caroline has supported her husband’s journey with chronic pain for a decade. Professionally she has worked in Healthcare for 16 years, but found gaps in her own knowledge within the Healthcare System. She realised that if she worked in the system yet experienced difficulties, how were others meant to navigate their way? Caroline wants to share her learnings and experiences to help others through their chronic pain journeys.

Have been reading this book ‘Hormone Repair Manual’ by Lara Briden, I highly recommend it for anyone 40-60 with peri menopause or menopause symptoms who want to understand the effects of hormones better and how they can be managed most effectively to help you feel better. It’s written in a really fact based and no nonsense way.

Man’s Search for Meaning by Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl is a really extraordinary book. I read it first a few years ago after a visit to Auschwitz and found Viktor’s story to be both inspiring and remarkable. I’m currently re-reading it and getting a lot from doing so. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it too at the September Book Club. All welcome. 6th September at 7pm 📕 📚 📖

Sharing a meditation that I’ve recorded and had published on the Insight Timer (free) meditation app. Feel free to ‘follow’ me on the app as I’ll be publishing more in the coming weeks 😊

This is a beautiful guided imagery meditation based on the beach at sunset. It was inspired by walking on Greatstone Beach in Kent, England at sunset, listening to the sounds of the sea, the birds, and the water. It is deeply restful, relaxing and also you may find it helpful for drifting off into a...
