🌿 The Art of Raising Conscious Kids⁠

We’ve all experienced how mindfulness and yoga can bring more calm, focus, and balance into our lives. But when it comes to our children, how do we introduce these practices in a way that feels natural—not forced?⁠

Claire Robbie, founder of the School of Modern Meditation , reminds us that mindfulness isn’t something we teach—it’s something we live. Through gentle rituals, emotional awareness, and leading by example, gently guiding her kids toward mindfulness. 🧘⁠


✨ It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.⁠

✨ Dry July: A Reset for Your Wellbeing ✨⁠

Dry July is more than just a break from alcohol—it’s a chance to give your body and mind the space to recharge.⁠

Many of us reach for a drink to relax or unwind. But stepping back, even for a short time, can reveal just how much better we can feel without it.⁠

🌿 This month, consider what you might gain by going alcohol-free:⁠

👉️ Better sleep and more consistent energy⁠
👉️ Improved mood and mental clarity⁠
👉️ Stronger immune function and overall vitality⁠
👉️ A deeper connection to your body’s natural rhythms⁠

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being curious. Notice how your body responds. Reflect on what supports your health and what doesn’t. Try new ways to unwind, like movement, meditation, or simply slowing down.⁠

Sometimes, the most powerful act of self-care is giving yourself the chance to feel fully present.⁠

Want support along the way? Claire Robbie’s blog has great insights on how meditation can help you stay grounded and alcohol-free—link below:
