🤍📄 The list never ends, and you never get through it so make sure you are at the top!📄🤍

This one will be familiar to the Wellbeing groups I teach.

It is not selfish to put yourself first it is self esteem.

Your needs matter.

You matter.

My day always starts with a cup of tea in bed. Even if it's just for 5 minutes as well as my yoga practice even if it is just 5 minutes.

In doing this I start the day calmly and ready to give my energy out to all the things and people.

I don't have to look for where I am in my own day and I'm also better for everyone else in taking care of myself.

Let me know if you are at the top! Sending love for the week😊🫶🏾💕

🌊🧘🏽‍♀️15 Minute Ashtanga-Inspired Yoga🤎🤎

This class takes its lead from the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series starting with surya namaskar or sun salutations

We practice warrior two pose, triangle and a twist from standing sequence. We move via a vinyasa to seated for a forward bend and seated twist before practising a seated balance. We close with the final three 'lotus' poses from finishing sequence before absorbing all that energy in savasana or co**se pose at the end.

As always, this is an accessible sequence with plenty of options for practice offered throughout. Traditionally, you don't use props in Ashtanga because of the flow but you may use anything you need to in support of your body

Practice here:

☀️🌳🤍 Holding a votive candle for late summer's beslanted light🤍🌳🕯

Unlike most poets, I mourn the loss of summer but also feel the pull of writing season and its introspection.

Let me know what you think of this one and wishing you a gentle transition to September 🫶🏾

Thank you to Mo Mo 🇨🇦 for the September prompt:

My poem 'For a moment, In that Dance' is published in 'Wild Roots' thenuthatchpress🐦 🌿🌿🌿

I wrote this poem back in 2021, during the pandemic just before I went into grief therapy when my walks and runs on the country lane behind my home became a lifeline and still are to this day.

Re-reading the poem takes me back to that uncertain, frightening time and also reminds me how far I have come. Yes, in terms of writing and all that I have achieved as a poet but more importantly in terms of mental health, something I never now take for granted. Health is wealth.

I'm grateful to be featured in such a beautiful and important collection where many poets tender and nature-focused poetry appears.

The image is me on my rest day, pottering in my crocs!

Nature saves me everyday. Let's help to save it too.

100% of proceeds from this collection go to RSPB
