Again, thank you to all Saturday's inquisitive and open minded folk who attended our Retreat Day. Without your attendance we have nothing. The people make our passion for healthy lives real.

💛 A little review:
We embraced Boundaries and Balance with Yoga with Rebecca leading 3 sessions all with different yet connected themes.
Balancing our lives happens on many levels. We started on the gross bodily physical plain and worked our way inwards. Questioning how we feel, what takes us off balance and discussed how to bring about some positive change.
Put your phone down and turn the news off, being unanimously agreed upon.

We also looked at food and how supermarkets and online shopping takes us away from our actual needs into aspirations and treats which serves no real positive purpose.

We then explored and reflected upon a single yoga sutra that outlines a simple but tricky to apply method for maintaining an emotional and psychological calm for the mind. This brought up some really great discussion.

The juicy philosophy and discussions were cushioned by accessible movement and breath practices. All aimed at inviting self reflection, sensory awareness and calm.

💙 Carola van Zijl Breathe Healing worked tirelessly to give free 20 minute treatments to all of the participants who wanted one.

💚 And Iza Moon completed the day giving one of her songbath soundbaths. A delicious and uniquely creative hour long relaxation to settle everyone including me 🙂

Huge thanks to all the participants on Saturday's Retreat.

We really are passionate about nutrition and good tasty food as part of our holistic approach to health . And we really are grateful for the feedback on the food we provided.

Yoga with Rebecca was the cook
YM Bakery in Caistor provided the best sourdough
The 70% cocoa chocolate was fair trade and organic, as were the biscuits
All of the herbal teas were provided so folk get the chance to try something different without buying a box full.

As promised here's the recipe for our lunch. I've always called it lentil yum. Ours was all organic, gluten free and vegan. It's open to individual interpretation and your own ingredient variations.

Key ingredients:
Red lentils (split)
Tin of tomatoes
Vegetable stock
Leeks
Mixed herbs
Black pepper
Olive oil
Dried Basil ESSENTIAL!

Optional extras:
Green or brown lentils
Tin of kidney beans
Celery
Carrots
Courgettes
Aubergine
Peppers
Spinach
Garlic
Bay leaf
Smoked paprika or chilli

Method:
Warm the oil, add bay leaf, add leeks and garlic, soften them for a few minutes, add mixed herbs

Then add lentils, stir them in and coat with the mix
Add tin of tomatoes, mush it all up and cook for a few mins
Add the stock, stir and bring to a boil then simmer with lid on for 15 to 25 mins

Add any veg part way through the simmering, depending on how long they take to cook.

When lentils are cooked add a generous amount of dried basil and black pepper.

It's ready about 10 mins later

Enjoy🙏🏻🫶

We're really looking forward to our Balance and Boundaries reflective Retreat Day tomorrow.
All the logistics are done, the day will be full but gentle. Inviting participants to experience and reflect on aspects of their lives. Consider changes that will positively affect their life choices in a kindly and non judgemental way.

All that's left to do is a huge batch cook by Rebecca this afternoon for the nutritious organic lunch.

The preparations for the day retreat are literally hotting up in the garden.
We are fully booked for Saturday 6th, but please like and follow so you don't miss out on upcoming events.

National Lottery Community Funding allows us to bring high quality holistic health projects to Lincolnshire at affordable prices or pay as you can discounts. We are not for profit, just for folk who can't usually afford events like these 🙏🏻

Here at Svastha Lincs CIC and with the help and expertise of Yoga with Rebecca we are always on the look out for inspiration for our service users.
And this week the brilliant episode about balance on What's Up Docs? was perfect. We explored balance and even tried a couple things given as advice on the programme.
And what I, as the teacher really liked was the way this conversation went just that bit deeper than strength, flexibility and balancing exercises.
Balance overall in lifestyle was looked at. So if we are simply rushing around paying no attention and not caring for ourselves, then we end up being disconnected from how we feel. Sight, ear health, neck, feet and ankles all make up the support system in balance so if we no longer are able to be aware of these things then we increase risk of falling.
Proprioception, our awareness of where our body is in space, relies very much on the inner ear. And if we never tune into that during quiet times we are missing a trick.
Furthermore foot and ankle health is critical, so anything from neuropathy to injuries and stiffness greatly impedes our confidence and balance.
Whether we like it or not, from the age of 30 our muscles start to lose strength. So falls prevention is a lifelong project, not just after the first fall in later years.

This week's session was great fun and just a little bit challenging. Come along and have a lovely herbal tea, chat a d then the mindful practice. We guarantee you'll feel better for it

We are very happy to announce that The National Lottery Community Fund has given the go ahead for the continuation of our project at Brookenby Community Centre. This comprises of a weekly meeting with a warm inviting atmosphere. Tea and a good chat. We discuss health, especially emotional and mental health issues and ways in which we can support each other and our selves. We reach far and wide in our chats and everyone gets a say. This is followed by a gentle relaxation practice based on the holistic principles of viniyoga. Not yoga as most people know it at all. Accessible and noncompetitive based on self observation, calming and connecting with oneself.
That may sound a bit much for some, but it's not anything other than an opportunity to relax the mind and really notice how we feel. This in turn is the gateway to self empowerment in self care.
Our mission is to assist local people in this rural community feel better. Feeling better is completely individual so your measure is entirely individual.

We meet Tuesdays 6pm to 7.30pm approximately. Sometimes we are a little later depending on the conversations we have.
Brookenby Community Centre
Upstairs.
We have a couple of spare mats, all other cushions etc are provided.
Please bring a blanket for relaxation.

We look forward to seeing you there.

It's that time of year again when all the climax or anticlimax of Christmas and new year has fizzled out into wintery January. As I'm sure you know it was what's now been named, Blue Monday yesterday. This marks the day of the year when the gloom.can be overwhelming for many and there is a spike in folk searching for help, advice and assistance for their emotions.
We are in the midst of cold, damp and dark times when traditionally there would be a "wintering", staying home with family and friends, taking care of one another. But now we have to get up and carry on as normal, working, being productive and facing so many adverts for new years resolutions and the potential new you. The pressure can be too much. So here at Svastha Lincs with the help of our facilitators we offer a consistent and constant place for a compassionate chat, a cup of herbal tea and mind body practices to support all.areas of health and wellbeing.
Yoga with Rebecca is leading our Tuesday evening sessions Brookenby Community Centre, all are welcome.
No requirements from you, only a yoga mat if you have one. We have a couple of spares for newbies.
Why not come along
Tuesday 6pm each week.
Cost £1 !
We hope to keep this price as we're applying for a another grant from Awards for All at The National Lottery

Hello everyone, Seasons Greetings
Thank you for all of the attendance to our offerings this year. We've continued to run a weekly cuppa, chat and movement class. And we added special days, running four full day events with brilliant teachers, health and wellbeing experts all made possible with the grant from Awards For All, part of the National Lottery. This funding has now to come to an end so we will put a new bid in to keep things going with affordable pricing enabling everyone to attend. We are passionate about making things that are so often exclusive available for everyone.

In addition this year I'd like to say a massive thank you to Janine Walker who has been invaluable in her skill with company management and finances helping me (Rebecca), the novice. Janine has stepped down from being a director to concentrate on her business plans and we wish her all the luck in the world.

And on that note, I'd like to thank Jon Ives for joining us as a new Director. A man of many talents, not least Sea Shanty singing and Sports Massage. We look forward to new and inspiring offerings for community health and wellbeing projects.

Our last session of the year at Brookenby Community Centre is tonight.
Have a warm and cosy break and we'll see you on Tuesday 6th January.

Finally found the brilliant print out of the Pancamaya model by Sequence Wiz, based on the brilliant book Yoga for Transformation by Gary Kraftsow. And so I've been a ble to tidy up my thoughts and scribblings for this Saturday's Retreat day.
Working on mind body connections from ancient therapeutic models is tried and tested over millennia.
It's an honour and pleasure to share with folk who are interested and in need of support.

See you on Saturday ❣️🙏🏻
