🍁 The Kindness of Clients 🍁
I had a lovely one to one yoga session with a client this morning and she sent me this message afterwards:
“Thank you for a wonderful session this morning. It was restorative, informative and uplifting session.
I would love to do this on a regular basis”
It makes me so happy when people leave a session with me feeling like this and teaching people face to face makes me so happy. ☺️
If you’d like to come along and experience a yoga session (Seasonal, restorative, yin or menopause), then please get in touch.
Exchange is £30 for one person, £15 each for two people or £10 each for three people.
So, come alone, bring a friend or bring 2. 😁
Block bookings are also available.

💚♥️Poem Credit: Becky Hemsley called 'Breathe' from her book "Talking to the Wild"
'She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they'd listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she'd been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped...and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe' ❤
Supporting women through menopause, it’s important to me that I keep myself up to date with correct information and current guidelines and be confident in offering advice based on evidence and experience.
This is why I undertook the @menopausemovement training.
This course exceeded my expectations and left me with a wealth of knowledge to add to my menopause toolkit.
I can’t wait to share it with you. 😊

That is great to hear, welcome on board! Christien 🌷
Love the logo!
Amazing ❤️
Menopause is not just hot flushes and night sweats.
For some women it can bring with it a whole host of seriously debilitating symptoms that sadly can be devastating, not only for them, but for their loved ones.
It’s time to normalise menopause.
It’s time to end the stigma.
It’s time to open up the conversation.
If you’re in the stages of menopause (if you don’t know what they are, don’t worry) and you’d like to feel supported by an amazing bunch of women, then you are welcome to join us in our private fb group:

No one should feel isolated during this transition.
🙏💗
👇🏼♥️What I am trying to say is,
it really doesn’t matter how clean you eat, how fit you are and how many sacrifices you make for your health...
Aside from a few very bad things you can do to your body – like extremes of anything – you will live as long and as healthily, as YOU WILL LIVE.
It’s luck, it’s genes, it’s actually A COMPLETE MYSTERY.
Doctors die from cancer too.
Athletes drop dead just like that.
Some people who drink die young and some people who don’t do too.
Perfect people at the perfect, ultimate prime of their life, are taken every day.
Just like that.
It‘s lottery and no one can call it. No one.
We all have a story of someone who did everything right, yet couldn’t keep their place here on this earth. Right?
I’m not saying do not care for your body, of course not, but the best advice I have come across my friends, is to live.
To laugh, smile, sing, walk, swim, breathe, rest, meditate, enjoy, share, listen, love, kiss, run, giggle, misbehave, taste, really taste… all of these things will do your body, your mind – and your soul,
SO MUCH GOOD.
To refuse to swallow bitterness, anger, regret and fear, for they are the poisons we should really watch out for.
Just enjoy your life...
it’s a one time kind of a deal.

Yesssss! 💚 xx
Take a full breath in and release a slow exhale….
🍁Slow down
🍂Let go
🍁Return to self
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
This is what November feels like to me.
I honestly used to dread the dark winter months.
But when you learn to live with the seasons rather than against them, something wonderful happens.
Nature truly is a splendid teacher.
🧡

🍁🍂♥️"I asked the leaf whether it was scared because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was very alive. I worked hard and helped nourish the tree, and much of me is in the tree. Please do not say that I am just this form, because the form of leaf is only a tiny part of me. I am the whole tree. I know that I am already inside the tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. That’s why I do not worry. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon.'" ~Thich Nhat Hanh

🍁 Oh, Autumn 🍁🍂
The grand finale in nature.
The season of letting go and turning inwards.
A time of refinement and re-evaluation.
That deep calling to begin to make your way home.
Can you feel it too? ☺️
I’d love to know your favourite thing about Autumn. 👇🏼
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to save or share my post.

Happy World Menopause Day 🌎🌹
Since this time last year, I have transitioned into post menopause.
Embracing my second spring like a MF. 💪🏼💃🏻
Because why the hell not. I’m going to spend half of my life (if I’m lucky) post menopause and I intend to make the most of it. 😊
I have become the Crone. The Wise Woman. But past it, I am not. ❤️🔥
Menopause is a journey that half of the population will experience and it’s wonderful that there is a movement behind this now. One that I am proud to be part of, thanks to @menopause_yoga and @menopausemovement
It’s a journey that is unique to YOU. But it’s a journey you don’t have to take on your own.
❣️Talk to your husband/partner/family. Never assume they know how you’re feeling and what’s going on.
❣️Take some time for yourself every single day to do whatever you bloody well like.
❣️Surround yourself with other women who will hold space for you to stand in your own power.
❣️Listen to your intuition. Nobody, and I mean nobody knows you like you do.
Love
Jen

Can I ask a question to your group?? Has anyone had extremely low iron levels during perimenopause?? Thanks Jennifer Douglas
It’s raining here and has been pretty dreich for most of the day.
We are just back from walking Luna and I have to be honest, if we didn’t have a dog I probably wouldn’t have went out.
A barrier to exercise? No, today it was just sheer laziness. But now I’m back home and in my pjs (yes at 5pm on a Sunday) 😊, I feel better for getting outside and moving my body.
However, weight gain, low self esteem, fatigue, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and joint pain are some of the significant barriers to menopausal women wanting to exercise.
Movement for me in post menopause has changed and I’m ok with that.
At the moment it includes a mixture of yoga, walking, cardio and strength training.
Moving our bodies in menopause will be part of BLOOM, a 6 week course to support and guide you through YOUR menopause coming soon.
Want to know more? Send me a DM or join my email list.
I’d also love to hear your barriers to exercise below. 👇🏼
#movementinmenopause #exercise #midlife #womenover40 #womenover50 #yogateacher #menopauseyoga
My barrier is definitely motivation... When I'm motivated I'm great... I will really show up... But at the moment I'm in a slump and iv no motivation apart from sleep 😞
Reeaalllly not sure what my barriers to exercise are!!! 🤔 When I'm in a routine I love it!!. Time is one - but I know that's just an excuse!! Definitely sing me your for Bloom 🥰
Oh add me to your email list ❤️
Tranquil Friday is full this month, but if you’d like to come along in November, I’d love to hold space for you.
Details in the pics.
PM me to book in.
☺️♥️
Hi, are there any places left on the morning session? Xx
Oh I like the sound of this. 🥰
Thats me sent payment now. Sorry for the delay. x
What is the date for November?
⭐️A lovely feeling of inclusion with a fabulous group of women.
⭐️I finally relaxed for the first time in months.
⭐️Feel at peace with myself.
⭐️Lots of info regarding menopause
These were just a few of the takeaways from today’s Menopause workshop.
If you’re reading this and thinking “I’d love to feel like that”, then keep reading to see how you can attend the next workshop and help break the stigma.

Did you know that Perimenopause is linked to the transition between Summer and Autumn.
As we journey through our own personal seasons, we are reminded every year at this time how beautiful it can be to embrace these changes and to Let Go.
For some women perimenopause can cause an excess of physical heat and they may start to experience symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, anger issues, irritability etc.
During this Moving Mindfully through YOUR menopause workshop we will:
❣️Share our experiences of menopause.
❣️Enjoy a relaxing, restorative yoga practice with postures and pranayama techniques (breath work) specifically chosen to relieve symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats.
❣️ Enjoy a nourishing meditation.
❣️End with a closing circle.
Leaving you feeling nourished, nurtured and empowered with a toolbox of knowledge that you can take with you into your daily life.
Places are limited to 8 women, so everyone has a safe space to share and be heard.
£20
Payment is required at time of booking to secure your space.
A free space is available if you are currently financially challenged.
Having gone through menopause myself, I am extremely passionate in supporting and bringing women together so you can feel empowered On your unique menopause journey.
These face to face gatherings will be held monthly and each month we will cover a different topic.
Ongoing support, handouts and free samples will be made available should you wish.
If you have any questions, or you’d like to book in, please get in touch.

Hello Everyone ☺
I hope you are all well on this glorious rainy Thursday.
I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but I'm still working hard behind the scenes and have lots of exciting things to share with you over the coming weeks. The first one being:
Commencing Monthly from November:
Face to face group yoga classes
Sunday mornings from 9-10am
Following the class you will receive a handout to takeaway.
This could be a yoga sequence, seasonal hints and tips, a meditation or ritual for you to do at home.
You will also be invited to attend a live class via zoom two weeks after our group class.
PM me if you'd like to reserve your space.
10 spaces available
Exchange is £ 10
The kindness of clients. ♥️
I received this message (shared with permission) the day after my first Tranquil Friday event.
Two hours of Relaxing, Restorative yoga, meditation, tea and a blether.
My kinda Friday. 😁
Swipe for the next date and DM me if you’d like to book your spot. (Only one space left for the evening event).
No experience of yoga necessary.
Just a willingness to rest is enough.
