With the reality of this global pandemic invading almost every part of our lives daily and with so many of us remaining indoors, we have had to cast aside our normal routines and find different ways of living. And even though lockdown begins to ease we may experience some underlying worries, concerns and fears. We still don’t really know how long this will go on and we wake up every day to the unknown.

During this time of uncertainty it’s so important to continue to find time for healthy enjoyable movement as you take proper care of your own health and well-being. I am delighted that so many of you are connecting to me and the online community and Making Your HOME your Personal Practice Place.

Yoga especially gives us powerful tools for managing everyday anxieties, a time to truly connect to Body, Mind, Mood and Emotions. If you are a little more anxious than usual you are not alone. A lack of control over your environment is unsettling and confusing. But you can control how you engage with this temporary new reality.
You can dwell on ifs, should and maybes and get into a real head-spin with the news . . .
OR choose Positive Personal Practice.

With regular home practice you CAN shift from uneasy to stable and from high stress to rest and digest states. In fact this is the perfect time to develop a long-term Home Practice.
  1. Stress constricts and disrupts our breath, so breathwork brings calmness to the endless mental loops that circle around your head.
  2. Mindful movement redirects your attention from a scattered mental arena to focused physical sensations. Some anxiety sufferers find that slow gentle grounded yoga helps the practitioner to ‘stay with the experience’ and this whole-body experience helps to stimulate the Vagus Nerve (a two-way network of communication between the brain and major organs in the body; regulating immune response, hunger, feeling calm or anxious and more)
  3. Conscious Yoga Breathing and Guided Breathwork lowers your blood pressure and calms your heartrate. Vagal tone is increased and a well-functioning vagus nerve improves brain-body communication, which is another reason why regular yoga practice Benefits YOU as it reduces overall stress in the body, mind and emotions.
  4. Stress & Anxiety can feel like trapped energy. Healthy movement shifts your energy and science has evidenced how much daily regular exercise positively benefits those suffering anxiety or depressed states. You may feel so much better after faster-paced vinyasa flow eg a couple of rounds of Sun Salutations.
  5. Relaxation & Yoga Nidra gives both mind and body quality rest and helps to dissolve physical tensions.
  6. Mindful sitting & guided Meditations encourage a pause, a Return to Balance and may provide you with moments of clarity, compassion and acceptance. You may see your fears as transitory and not permanent and this helps encourage a sense of inner strength and calm.
I am here to support and nurture your home practice so thankyou for being part of the YogaRos Community.
