Only came across this poem for the first time last night and it’s really beautiful in its simplicity… Through mindfulness we can first notice bad habits, then figure out how to change them and then learn new habits!

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters - Portia Nelson - Words of Wonder - 1 I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I fall in. I am lost ... I am helpless. It isn't my fault.

Have you heard of “email apnoea”? Apparently up to 80% of people may suffer from it!
It's the unconscious habit of suspending or decreasing breathing while writing emails (it can also happen while doomscrolling too) - and this can affect the Vagus nerve causing stress to the nervous system!
If we develop a more mindful habit to reading emails/scrolling, then we can firstly become aware of this breath-holding and then take steps to start breathing again!
Take breaks, watch your posture, stand up and stretch every hour and take deep breaths every hour... all simple ways of becoming more present and in the moment whether at work or at home.

I've just opened my email and there's nothing out of the ordinary there. It's the usual daily flood of schedule, project, travel, information, and junk mail. Then I notice...I'm holding my breath.

Time for a summer yin yoga practice! I’m excited to be giving a yin workshop in this Sunday evening. Yin is my favourite yoga practice, one where we hold poses for a number of minutes to target the body’s connective tissues and tap into the meridian energy lines. It’s a simple, but not always easy practice!
No matter how I feel beforehand, yin always leaves me feeling refreshed, revitalised and clear-headed, and as if I’ve worked places I never knew existed!
We’ll also do some vagal nerve toning and finish with a deeply relaxing body scan. Check out www.salt and soul.ie for more information or contact me!

Wouldn’t it be great if you could clear your mind at the end of the day ready for sleep, just like a setting sun sends us from day to night? If you’re feeling sleepy but have trouble nodding off, then come check out my Yoga for Better Sleep workshop tomorrow Sunday in

We’ll move to release excess energy and relieve muscular tension, breath to engage the “rest&digest mode” and finish with a “pilgrimage through the body”… zzzz!

Happy new year all! I’m looking forward to doing some training this weekend on “yoga for sleep” and all the neuroscience behind it… I plan to offer a yoga for sleep workshop in due course to help you nod off just like Lizzy the Lurcher!

Yoga is good for all of you…

How yoga philosophy and the yamas helped this teacher understand her anxiety, and minimize stress and overthinking.

I've been practicing Mindfulness since I was diagnosed with a chronic illness about 8 years ago, and really believe in the benefits - I feel less stressed and anxious, less negative, and I am more in the present and appreciate the little things in life. I finally got around to becoming a qualified Mindfulness Coach with the Transformation Academy and I'm delighted to say that while I was familiar with many of the practices through my various yoga trainings, the theory and neuroscience was a fascinating add on! Now my next challenge is to post some mindfulness tips over on IG in the coming weeks.... Stay tuned! 🙏
