If you're feeling a bit lost about 'how' to meditate or not even sure where to start, here are some tips that should help you to get going 💭

✨The reality is that often there is noise around us so it can be difficult to find some silence. When I want to meditate but can't find a quiet space, I usually put some headphones in and play some calming meditation music.

✨Aim 5 minutes and build time on slowly. The brain has to be conditioned to do this because unfortunately, we all have a bit of wild squirrel brain which doesn't allow us to stop running our thoughts.

✨ Feeling discomfort and pain can make it difficult to stay focused on meditating. Some will agree with me but I think lying down while meditating can be very grounding and so what if you fall asleep during your self practice.

✨ Notice everytime your thoughts wonder and bring yourself back to the present moment by counting your breaths.

Final tip: Keep it simple and keep it short (for a now) 🦋✨

Feeling a bit chilly on your mat during these cold and frosty days? ❄️ Try some of my toasty yoga tips:
Layer up - wear socks, a jersey and even a scarf 🧥🧣 try wearing items that you can remove as you warm up during the practise. You can even wear a beanie, if you're into that 😉
Sip on a warm cup of tea or coffee ☕ use a travel mug if you're on-the-go.
When I practise at home, I like to switch my heater on and place it in front of my mat - it keeps me nice and toasty 🌡️🫖 and if I get too hot, I turn it down or switch it off.
How do you keep warm for your yoga practise?

You need to be flexible to practise yoga - true or false? 🤔💭

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Saying you have to be flexible to do yoga is like saying that you have to be clean to take a bath 🛁 it sounds a bit illogical, right?

How flexible you are should not dictate whether you practise yoga or not. Flexibility is a result of yoga, not a prerequisite - remember that.

If you want to touch your toes, bend your knees. I propose using blocks as a tool to help you increase flexibility over time until you can touch your toes with ease.
