Menopause Yoga Workshop TOMORROW
Sunday 31st May
10.00 - 12.30

SEASONS YOGA FOUR MARKS

https://bookwhen.com/seasonsyoga-co-uk78 =ev-sulla-20260529000000

A gentle morning to breathe, stretch, relax and explore your experience of peri and menopause whilst learning yoga techniques to help navigate this transition with more ease.

Join me Rebecca James Yoga at Seasons Yoga FourMarks

I am a yoga therapist and psychotherapist and have been running these workshops for 5 years with wonderful feedback from participants:

"I particularly enjoyed the explanation at the beginning re: role of oestrogen, vegas tone and the nervous systems. We know that slowing our breathing works, but it was great to understand why."

"Just a big thank you for creating such a welcoming, safe environment. It felt a very nurturing space and Rebecca has the most amazingly calming voice 🙂"

"It was really interesting to hear Rebecca talk about the biology of the brain and body, as well as the emotional elements of menopause, and I could have easily listened to more about that interwoven with the practical yoga. I hadn’t booked up because of Rebecca leading it, but it soon became apparent that she is excellent. "

"the link between science/theory and practice, all wrapped in empathy and understanding. Approaches one could take away and use every day."

MAY
Perhaps the month of May is permission…
yes, you may.
You may, release your winter weary bones up to the light.
Yes, you may, feel lighter, be lighter.
Yes, you may fall into ease
with the flow that is all around you
and yes, you, my love,
may allow joy to visit whenever she sees fit.
May you see, this month,
that life is much easier when you let go a little.
And look around you for the inspiration nature brings.
Perhaps the month of May is permission…
yes, you may.
Go ahead.
Take it all.

Thought for the day... or perhaps tomorrow... Jung said, "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." Hmmm ....

Fun morning sharing what's on offer at The Open Practice.
The multidisciplinary pain management programme still has a few places if you are in need of support with persistent pain.

Yesterday I was excited to facilitate my first women's circle at Season's yoga.
I hope it will evolve over time but last night we practised some movement and breath work together before reflecting on the seasonal energy of April - blossoming and cleansing.
I hope this is a place for women to come together and be seen and heard. Sometimes the simple act of being witnessed compassionately is enough for healing to begin.
I hope this space will be somewhere we can find joy in our differences and our common humanity.
Please come and join me at the next one.
Every third Thursday of the month at https://www.seasonsyoga.co.uk/

Mindfulness is an act of hospitality. A way of learning to treat ourselves with kindness and care that slowly begins to percolate into the deepest recesses of our being while gradually offering us the possibility of relating to others in the same manner...(The) process simply asks us to entertain the possibility of offering hospitality to ourselves no matter what we are feeling or thinking. This has nothing to do with denial or self- justification for unkind or undesirable actions, but it has everything to do with self-compassion when facing rough, shadowy, difficult or uncooked aspects of our lives. - Santorelli, 2014.

It is easy to forget that self-compassion is integral to Mindfulness...I love this quote and it's gentle suggestion to turn towards ourselves with love and tenderness.

I often share the bodyscan with people as a way to help connect with the body. I love this description of how it can bring benefit to us all...

If you think of your body as a musical instrument, the body scan is a way of tuning it.

If you think of it as a universe, the body scan is a way to come to know it.

If you think of your body as a house, the body scan is a way to throw open all the windows and doors and let the fresh air of awareness sweep it clean.
- Marianne Elliot
