As we shift from Autumn to Winter it's easy to sta

As we shift from Autumn to Winter it's easy to start hibernating. But hibernate all too early and the Winter can see very long, so why not head out and enjoy an open fire? As you gather together this Bonfire night, hopefully around an actual fire, are you aware of the benefits this experience has on your health?

Here are our 7 health benefits to gathering around a fire:

1. Sense of calm: The sight of flames can activate the brain's emotional center, which can promote relaxation and reduce stress. Studies have shown that watching a fire can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels.
2. Shared experience: Sitting around a fire can create a shared focus and an intentional time to talk and reflect.
3. Soothing warmth: The warmth of a fire can be especially soothing when it's needed.
4. Engaging the senses: The sights, sounds, smells, and colouirs of a fire can engage your senses and help you stay in the moment.
5. Sense of safety and comfort: The steady, glowing presence of a fire can evoke feelings of safety and comfort.
6. Connection to nature: You can become grounded in the present moment, aware of the nature around you.
7. Cooking: You can cook on a fire pit using a grill plate or simply toast marshmallows. That never gets old!

Those of you who come to my classes whether that’s on a retreat or online, you will know that I love to incorporate strength to yoga practise.

Every age in life needs focus on strength. The trouble is that their can be too much attention on cardio and not enough lifting heavy stuff. I find as I reach mid life (40 years +) and the muscle atrophy that older age brings naturally starts, the strength element is even more vital. Morning practise lends itself to more fire, energy and strength - I am always trying to find that sweet blend of strength and flexibility. Effort and surrender.

Do you need to improve upper body strength? Why not try this one minute of upper body strength as an individual exercise or add it into your daily mat work.

Hoping for her victory tomorrow and for females across America having the right choose abortion.

I had the joy of a long solo drive this morning, complete peace with nothing but my thoughts and the radio for company. The news was drifting in and out, then four words grabbed my attention. “Worry less, do more’’.

It was news on the American election tomorrow and the journalist was interviewing a lady working on the campaign with Kamala Harris. “How do you feel about the election?” enquired the journalist. “I have stopped feeling, the key is to worry less and do more.” the campaigner replied. Those words kept swirling in my head. “worry less, do more”.

From the high stakes of a political election uncertainty weaves its way all the way down into our everyday lives. I don’t know your current life situation, but I can be sure there is some level of uncertainty. During different life chapters that degree of uncertainty changes. Right now, I’m living with uncertainty. It acts out like a heavy weight on my chest. Sometimes the feeling is so overwhelming I struggle to cope, but as I talk to other women and business owners I know my struggles are not isolated. From time to time we all feel crap, we all worry, we all have shitty stuff to deal with, it’s part of being human and none of that will ever change. But we can 100% alter our view of the situation and “worry less and do more”.

I think of the women backing Kamala Harris and how determined they are as a party to win. I can only imagine what that drive must feel like. Those words “worry less, do more” struck a chord because I know worrying won’t change my current situation but action will.

Focus less on the situation or circumstance that is causing you to worry and identify aspects of your life that you have influence over, and take positive steps in those areas. This will create a sense of empowerment amidst your uncertainty. Right now writing this to you is me taking action to create change. Sharing thoughts to stay committed to you, our audience so you know we are here, going through the same struggles as you and that we understand. I know in times of uncertainty it can be so hard to shift focus, but I say let’s channel the inner campaigner within us and “worry less and do more”.

KICK HIS ASS KAMALA!!!

A tiny glimpse into cold water swimming with the f

A tiny glimpse into cold water swimming with the family 🤪

For me routine makes me feel balanced and stable. I love routine, so the school holidays with zero routine make my head hurt.

Tuesday morning is my strength PT and I could have cancelled but I thought “hell no” because I need that training time for my mental well being. I took my kids to workout @emmahuntleypt. I trained and the kids took my phone, which was an essential bribe for 45 mins sweat time.

I usually go for a sea dip post workout and today with children in tow and the weather not being so great I thought “should I give that a miss?” But then a big fat “hell no” jumped into my head and the children came too.

I find it hard to keep up healthy habits when I have my beautiful, colourful circus joining in. I have to dig deep into energy reserves to keep these habits happening.

Being gentle on self I thought let’s start with a simple trip to the beach and see what happens. The October skies were grey and the cool wind whipped around our faces. I walked barefoot with my swimming costume in my pocket embracing the sand between my toes. I prayed that the children would be on good form so I could take that much needed dip into the cold waves.

The children lasted 2 minutes and 43 seconds. It was not a lot in time but what I gained in my wellbeing points was huge. Freedom. Joy. Calm. Grounding.

But then a dog came bounding up, frightened the youngest and that was that. Game over. Till our next Autumn adventure….🍂

Thanks to @beachbumsup for the robe. It’s perfect ❤️
