In this first day of the Meditation Challenge join Val, one of my Mentors and my friend for a beautiful self love meditation.

Valerie Giles (aka Val) E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance Member

Valerie’s yoga style is Anusara and Vinyasa inspired. Her classes aspire to embody the philosophy that yoga’s primary purpose is for the pure joy of it!

Clients experience the full spectrum of intensity; from a fiery yang to healing restorative. Valerie strives to provide an experience that balances playfulness with a keen emphasis on alignment; she will guide students to build a strong foundation in order to maintain a safe playground.

Valerie believes that yoga can be pivotal in the healing process, believing in the body’s natural ability to heal given the right environment. She was heavily involved in the competitive sport of triathlons and first came to yoga 15 years ago to help heal her injuries when she was yet to learn the broad spectrum of transformative benefits.  Valerie invites you to play, laugh, heal, love and transform together while celebrating life.

Here's a little bit more about Michelle and Mothership Yoga.

Michelle Shipley (aka Ship) E-RYT 500 Hour Yoga Alliance Member

I’m in LOVE with my yoga practice! A hyper, type A personality, I found yoga after trying kickboxing and almost completing a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  Apparently, I thought kicking people made me feel better? In 2003 I tried a yoga class with Paola Di Paolo in Toronto and was hooked.  Returning to the mat moving slowly and deliberately began to offer benefits no other workout had. I began to sleep better, live with compassion, and deal with years of unresolved grief.

In January 2007,  I travelled to Nosara, Costa Rica to study under world-renowned yogis, Don and Amba Stapleton, at the Nosara Yoga Institute where I became certified as a Yoga Alliance recognized Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher.  More recently my studies have included workshops and master classes in Ashaya Yoga lead by Todd Norian,  Amy Ipoliti, Rod Stryker, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee and Tiffany Cruikshank Yoga Medicine.

In yoga we are asked to check our egos at the door – which I can do – but – I travel with my sense of humour and I find it to be such a good tool when guiding a yoga class!  The foundations of my classes are a gentle Hatha Yoga based practice exploring Yin Yoga postures while incorporating a strong emphasis on Iyengar’s alignment principals.  Breathwork with emphasis on coming home to the body as a major theme is presented through guided meditation and asana practice.

Mothership Yoga Wild Wellness Retreats began in 2008 offering a wonderful mix of yoga practice, theory, guided meditation, massage, sound therapy and plant-based whole foods. We retreat in Ontario Canada, OBX North Carolina and Nicaragua.

In this impromptu episode I journal out loud. 

I saw a therapist for our first session a couple weeks ago and I was given some homework to do, instead of writing about it I thought talking about it out loud would be helpful for myself but also maybe for someone else listening. 

So, I share with you some of the thoughts I have surrounding feeling responsible and like the caretaker of certain people in my life like; my sister, my aunt and how that affects my relationships with them. 

I talk about how my feeling responsible for others leads me to lean on my husband and my feelings about that and him. 

I also share how I need to caretake myself. What I have recently done for myself and what I need to do in the future.

In this episode I talk about my personal healing journey, how it started and where I am today. How I am doing the thing I said I would NEVER do again.

I share with you some life altering family history I recently found out, how I am processing it and what some of my next steps are.

If you havent checked out last weeks episode on Somatic Experiencing/Somatic Therapy make sure you do! And keep an eye out for next weeks episode about Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma release. 

You can follow along with my journey on instagram @where_healing_happens and @journeyandbloomyogadoula
