Yoga Pose Podcast

In this episode I talk about walks I went on with a friend who would get us lost (deliberately) and then insist I navigate our way back. Whilst tricky at the time, this 'Guru' helped me find a new path to follow. Whether you're going for a walk or practicing Yoga, give yourself permission to explore and play! All intelligent animals play, and the more intelligent the animal, the more it plays, so now you're motivated to get playful in your free time right? Walk forward, walk backwards, close your eyes, forget the step counter and just get lost in the sensation of moving. Workshops and Retreat Schedule all available DoYourOMThing.co.uk

JJ joined me this week! He’s a Pilates teacher (yes yoga and Pilates teachers can be friends) JJ got into Pilates to help his bad back, and when he moved to Brighton decided to train as a teacher, and now he’s about to embark on a Yoga Teacher Training. Don’t get too caught up with the name of the movement method, a good practitioner will study different methods and pull them all together! We exchange wit and wisdom, talk about the importance of looking after your feet, how to encourage men to reap the benefits of Yoga and Pilates and… JJ’s passion of movement and photography and his September retreat which will combine all of that! 1:1, Workshops and Retreat details on: BalancedRootsPilates.com Instagram: MovementAndPhotography

If you're completly energised and inspired in all aspects of your life, don't bother with this meditation! But if you're like the rest of us, you could do with a little boost, so sit back, clear 10 minutes of your day to enjoy this guided meditation!

We all just want to be normal right? Too much flexibilty and we come into problems, and too little as well. It's all about normal 'ROM' -Range of Motion. In this epsiode we get into some anatomy, I stick up for the hamstrings that always get the blame for people's aches and pain! I also talk about the need to look for mental and emotional stability; a loose mind won't be able to focus and a really tight mind tends to have difficulty switching off. -So who wants to join me and just be normal?

In this short epsiode I share a sweet little story from a recent retreat and then take us into a meditation practice in which we explore how a mind trained through meditation can take you places! A good meditatation practice will help you feel energised and motivated.

What brings you to this moment? 'Start with Why' is an amazing book which I talk about in this episode, because it's all about what motivates us to do the work we do, or activities in our free time. 'Right' motivation is key, it's our driving force is what keeps us motivated.

Mini meditation episode

Trying too hard in yoga takes the fun out of it, and as yoga is a life long apprenticeship, we need to cultivate a sense of play. In this episode I talk about modern Gurus like Mark Manson (author of 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k') and Brene Brown's work on Vulernability.

You're starting to interract with me on Facebook and Instagram! (Do Your OM Thing) and before we meditate I read out some of your questions! You'll need your imagination for this medtiation, time to relax and get creative.
