💚SELF-COMPASSION💜

When we face challenges or difficult times it helps to practice kindness, acceptance and understanding towards ourselves.

Let go of judgements and start to listen deeply to what the body and mind needs.

Repeat these self-compassion phrases to help you open your heart and support yourself more.

💚 May I be kind to myself
🩷 May I accept myself as I am
💜 May I be brave and face my fear
💙 May I give myself compassion I need

Repeat often and at any time of the day. You can place hands over the heart.

Be like a tree🌳

Let go of your old leaves (your resistance and hardness) to prepare for new growth, just like a tree.

How often do we say we want change, we want peace, or better life?
When we hold onto same thinking, patterns, reactions or attachments, nothing will change!

Let go of what is draining your peace.
Let go of the habits make you feel stuck.
Let go of any harmful cravings.
Let go of negative self-talk.

When we release the old, we create space for
the new, and the healing and growth begins.
Our clarity of mind returns and our true self awakens.

Be like Tree:
🌳 Stay grounded
🌲Bend before you break
🌴Enjoy your uniqueness
🌱Let go of old leaves and grow

You can learn more on how to let go in my online yoga classes or yoga on Russell island.

Are you Over 50? You need to Strengthen & Stretch your hips more!

Weak and tight hips is a common issue for over 50, which can affect your walking, cause knee and lower back issues, and increase risk of falls!

This Pilates exercise is perfect way to strengthen the important hip muscles such as the glute medius (side hip muscle) and hip flexors (front hip), plus work your other core muscles!

In this video my Pilates members are demonstrating wide leg raises with resistance band.

Tips:
1. Keep head/shoulders on ground if you have neck/shoulder issues.
2. Pilates beginners can perform this exercise without the resistance band.
3. Beginners can start with half movements.
4. Avoid arching lower back on ground.
5. Move slowly & smoothly & engage core.
6. Don’t forget to do your slow diaphragm Breathing!
7. Use a pillow under head if neck-shoulders are tight.

Learn more great Pilates resistance band exercises for over 50 in my live-stream online classes or on Russell island.

It’s time to slow down

🍁 Autumn Yoga 🍁

🍁Time to let go of our old layers, like trees let go of their leaves in Autumn.
🍁Time to slow down and be gentle.
🍁Time to nourish your mind & body.

My Top 3 yoga poses for Autumn are:

1. Puppy with twist: Pillow under head. Top arm either bent, straight or placed behind back.
2. Supported Fish pose: Pillow under head when your neck/shoulders/upper back is tight. Choose either bent legs, straight or butterfly.
3. Legs-up-the-wall: Optional bolster under hips. Legs can be close or wide.

Hold each pose for 2-3 minutes.

Our mind & body can feel unbalanced during Autumn season. Good time to let go of what is no longer nourishing you and boost your immune system.

Learn more about Autumn yoga poses in my live-stream yoga classes or Yoga on Russell Island.

https://www.kevalahealth.com.au

You can also included the alternate nostril breathing to help you feel more balanced and calm before you practice these yoga postures.
