🌟 Why We Move the Way We Do 🌟

Before we began our Chair Yoga practice today, I shared a little insight into why we do certain exercises in class. I’ve always found that when I understand the purpose behind a movement, I feel more connected and motivated—and it turns out my class felt the same!

They enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to make it a weekly feature. Each week, I’ll highlight 3 or 4 of the movements we practise and explain how they support our body in everyday life.

Because when we understand the why, movement becomes more than just exercise—it becomes intentional, empowering, and meaningful.

My hope is that this helps everyone feel more confident, informed, and in control of their wellness journey. The more we understand our bodies, the better we can care for them. 💜

✨ Stay tuned for next week’s focus!

🌿 Chair Yoga in Deansgrange – Still Going Strong! 🌿

I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but just to let you know – I’m still teaching chair yoga every Tuesday at 10.30am in Deansgrange Parish Centre, and the classes are going from strength to strength! Numbers have been steadily rising each term, which is just brilliant. 🙌

We’ve got 3 weeks left before our summer break, and I’m delighted to say that I’ll be opening a second class on Thursdays, so watch this space for more details! 📣

Chair yoga is a gentle but effective way to improve flexibility, strength, balance and mobility – perfect for seniors, those recovering from surgery or injury, or anyone with restricted movement. It’s a mix of stretch and strengthening exercises, all done either seated or using the chair for support – so it’s accessible, safe and beneficial for everyone.

It’s also a lovely, sociable class, and open to all genders – everyone is made very welcome.

If you're thinking about trying it, come along – you might be surprised at how good it makes you feel!

🥖 The Bread is Rising, and So Am I! 🥖

After 6 months or so of flour fights, dough dilemmas, and oven experiments, I’ve finally mastered the art of sourdough bread making! 🍞✨ or so I think!

Check out my latest loaf—it's so well-formed, it might just apply for a modeling gig! 😄👀

Here’s to perseverance, a little bit of flour in places it shouldn’t be, and the joy of finally achieving that perfect crust. Who knew a little dough could bring so much happiness?

Delighted to see my sourdough journey from “What is this mess?” to “Nailed it!” 😂

Earthing, or grounding, is akin to establishing a direct connection between your body and Mother Earth's support system. Think of it as plugging in for some natural rejuvenation. Whether it involves walking barefoot on grass, taking a dip in the sea, or relaxing on a conductive mat (yes, they're a thing!), the goal is to absorb Earth's electrons like a sponge at a spa.

Advocates vouch for its benefits, claiming it's the ultimate strategy for reducing inflammation, improving sleep quality, and generally feeling fantastic. While science is still unraveling the specifics, there's no denying the pleasure of kicking off your shoes and embracing simplicity.

Now envision this: You, adorned in your forest attire, meandering through the woods like a woodland sage on a quest for serenity. Welcome to forest bathing! Instead of briskly traversing the trees, it's about leisurely wandering, relishing the sights, sounds, and scents of nature as if they're a feast for the soul.

You might pause to literally smell the flowers, tune in to the whispers of the leaves, or even sample some wild berries (if you're adventurous and they're safe to eat).

And the cherry on top? Science confirms it's not just a walk—it's a mood-lifting, stress-reducing, immunity-enhancing paradise! So, the next time stress creeps in, forget the treadmill and seek solace among the trees. Your inner forest spirit will thank you!

Have you ever tried either of these activities? Share your experiences in the comments!

Did you know? Social connections are vital for our well-being! From boosting mood to reducing stress, staying connected with friends and loved ones plays a crucial role in our overall health. Make time for meaningful conversations, reach out to someone you care about today, and nurture those connections that bring joy and support into your life.

So, grab a metaphorical cup of friendship today, while you reflect on the beauty of human connection and its benefits:

1. Cultivating robust social connections may result in greater happiness and diminished loneliness.
2. Participating in meaningful dialogues can enrich emotional wellness and foster a sense of belonging.
3. Nurturing intimate relationships can elevate self-esteem and promote mental well-being.
4. Reaching out to friends and family can establish a support network during difficult circumstances.
5. Giving importance to social engagements can contribute to a more gratifying and enriched life.
