Happy Monday everyone,

Awaken your Inner Vision with a Third Eye Chakra Yoga session (Ajna Chakra Activation) 💜
Tune into your intuition and access your inner wisdom with this Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) yoga practise. This guided flow is designed to open, balance, and energise your sixth chakra — the seat of insight, clarity, and perception.

I've just posted the 6th session of my chakra series on YouTube: https://youtu.be/m-cH8Bq_4W8?si=HNFrMV5NnRzDW5Rb ,so come and practise with me.

Just one more chakra to go, the Crown Chakra or Sahasrara. I'll let you know when this chakra session is posted.
Are you interested in a meditation for each chakra? Please let me know in the comment section and I will record and post these meditations as well.

Namasté,
Mary🙏🥰

🧘‍♀️ Honoring International Yoga Day — Through the Light and the Shadows 🧘‍♂️
Today is International Yoga Day, a day that reminds us of the power of practice, presence, and connection — not just to the mat, but to ourselves and each other.
This year, the day arrives at a tender time for me. A dear friend has passed, and life has been showing up with its full spectrum — the beautiful, the difficult, the uncertain. I know I’m not alone in this. Each of us carries our own private weather: grief, transition, joy, fatigue, healing. And yet, here we are — still showing up.
Yoga, at its core, isn’t just movement or breath. It’s a philosophy, a way of being. The word Yoga means union — the integration of body, mind, and spirit; the merging of joy and sorrow; the connection between self and the world around us.
In the Bhagavad Gita, it is said: “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” And on this journey, there are moments of stillness and moments of storm. Yoga invites us to stay with both — not to perfect our pose or our lives, but to practice returning to ourselves, again and again.
So today and tomorrow, if you step on your mat, or simply pause to take a breath — do it with gentleness. Let yoga be what it truly is: a companion through grief, a lighthouse in confusion, a soft place to land when everything feels a little too much.
This year, I won’t be offering a live class on this special day— I simply need a little more space to be with what’s here — but I’ll be holding all of you in my heart as you move, breathe, and remember why this practice matters.
Let us honor this day not just with movement, but with meaning. With compassion for our own hearts and for the hearts around us.
To being human. To the mess and the magic. To the practice.

💛 Namaste.
Mary.

Dear followers and yoga friends,
I'm excited to share some updates about Yoga for Joyful Aging!
Now that I'm a certified TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) provider, I’ve updated the name of this page to Yoga & TRE for Joyful Aging to reflect the expanded offerings.
Behind the scenes, I’ve been working on a brand new accountability coaching program. This includes weekly 1:1 sessions (30 minutes each), small homework assignments, and personalized feedback to help you stay on track with your wellness goals.
I’m also creating mini-courses that will come with private sessions and dedicated Q&A time — I’ll keep you posted as soon as they’re available!
And of course, there’s my membership program, which gives you access to my video library and a monthly live 60-minute yoga class — with the final 15 minutes reserved for Q&A, open sharing, or simply connecting with one another.
I’m truly grateful to grow this journey with you, and I can’t wait to support you in joyful, conscious aging — through yoga, TRE, and beyond.

With love,
Mary🥰

Happy Sunday to you all,

I’m celebrating the launch of my new website, which is online now. I’ve posted three blogs until now and my last post is about the importance of good posture, especially when we’re ageing. In my blog post about worst-case scenario thinking I’ve added a free download with 4 calming exercises. So if you’re interested, please visit my website, marymacgillavry.net, drag down the more button, click on the latest blog and at the end of the blog you’ll see the free download.
Thank you for visiting and exploring my website.

Namasté,

Happy New Year to you all and let’s start this year a little different. Instead of trying to set another New Year’s resolution, let’s use this year to develop compassion, love and acceptance towards ourselves and others. By just taking a few moments a day to incorporate elements of compassion as daily practise, we’re bring softness into our body and mind, our muscles start to relax, our thinking becomes softer and we might already feel some ease which makes us feel better.
As a start, just try this little exercise:
Place one hand over your heart and the other hand over your belly, try to breathe slowly and feel the movements of your breath. Then choose one of these affirmations to say out loud or in your head:
I’m worthy,
I’m lovable;
I’m enough;
I love and accept myself;
I accept my condition with loving kindness (instead of fighting against it).

Become a member of our group, answer a few questions first, and join me on Tuesday the 7th of January at 11.00 am for a free fb live self-care yoga practise.
Welcome,
Mary 🥰

TRE (trauma and tension release exercises) is a beautiful way of releasing stuck energy in the body. Last week I completed my training with a certification. As a TRE provider I cannot wait to share this practise with you. I already shared a session with some members of my Facebook group to let them have a first experience with TRE. You can read about their experience in the testimonials on my website marymacgillavry.net.

Celebrating the completion of this intensive 75 hours training. In this course we dove into many aspects of healthy aging, like the importance of good posture, best practises to restore alignment, the role fascia plays in this all and new insights, which science brought forward concerning healthy aging.
I’m looking forward to share my knowledge with you.
If you’re interested in working with me, just send me an email (joyfulaging@macgillavry.eu or send me a DM and let’s get in touch.

Happy international women's day every one,

Let's celebrate this beautiful day with a quote from Molly McCook:

“Women should be celebrated every day…It doesn’t just honour the iconic women who have changed history, but encourages new generations to dream big and know that anything is possible.”

Monday morning mindful moments!

In the last Monday posts in the FB group we explored our senses and how we can improve the working of our senses. We already looked at how aging can affect our hearing and if there are ways to improve our hearing and balance, now it’s time to dive a bit deeper into our eyesight. The content will be available in the FB group.

We will practise some eye exercises together this Friday, the 27th of October at 11.00 am. If you would like to join this free FB live session, just become a member of the group, there are no costs for becoming a member, just bring an open mind and heart and you’re welcome to join us.

Love,
Mary Mac Gillavry.
