Ellen Murray Mindset & Empowerment Coach

Hand on heart this was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had. 90 minutes of dancing to absolute bangers with a brilliant group of women doing the same on top of a mountain under the sunset 🌅 🎶 💃🏔️I’ve never felt so free and alive!!

It was absolutely euphoric! We let it all gooooo! The feeling it gave me was that feeling at the end of Glow Fit, that total high of music, movement, beats and people! 💃

It’s given me so much inspiration and fire in my belly 🔥 My brain is buzzing with ideas. I need MORE women to experience this 💃💃

And this is why I do it 💜 To help women to have that space where they can connect inwards and allow healing to take place ✨

My gorgeous yogis last night 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Plus I got the honour of my lifelong friend Caz Forber coming along while she’s home from Vietnam for a few weeks❤️

What an incredible first block of sessions. So grateful to each yogi and very proud of all of their journeys so far 💕

Since my final exam I’ve been a busy bee launching Soul Glow Yoga and can’t wait to see over 70 women at my classes this week 🥹💕

What a beautiful balance of self-care and work today 🌸🌸

Had a gorgeous reiki treatment with my lovely friend Lyndsey May this morning and she gifted me this beautiful goddess portrait 💕 Then tonight I had my bi-weekly reflexology session with the lovely Jane Elizabeth Connor at Hummingbird Holistics to keep my body in balance and my ME/CFS under control. There was a little part of me that felt self- indulgent but I know how important it is to maintain my well-being.

On a personal level it’s been such a huge week launching my new yoga business Soul Glow Yoga 🧘‍♀️ It’s all been so positive and I feel so grateful for how many amazing ladies have booked on 🙏🏻 but there was a point earlier in the week where I could tell it was too much for my nervous system. I imagine it’s down to some unconscious fear around how sick and burnout I was when I had to close down my fitness business.

Logically I know that I will never let that happen again as I have learned so much in my little safe healing cocoon in the last few years. I don’t hold myself to unrealistic expectations now, have much better boundaries with myself and really value rest and routines that calm my nervous system, but it still felt scary.

Getting myself back out there is a big step but one I’m SO EXCITED about. I love holding space for women and just know that the experiences I’ve had the last few years have been for a reason. I know I can hold a deeply empowering space for other women and it truly feels a gift to be able to do it 💕

I’ll never ever take it for granted as there was a time when I was too sick for anything like this. At one point I was told I would never work again, never mind be teaching movement. Long post but thank you so much everyone for your support and a little reminder that prioritising your well-being in whatever way works for you is so important 🙏🏻

🤩Exciting News Rainhill 🤩

I’ve just got off a call and I have a fabulous venue for Yoga evening classes in Rainhill on a Wednesday night!

Thank you Universe 🙏🏻

Details coming soon 💕

Comment below if Rainhill is a good location for you and you’re looking to join us 🤗 🧘‍♀️

P.S. Rainford evening is almost at full capacity. There’s a few spaces left for Rainhill and Rainford morning classes 😀

✨Soul Glow Yoga✨

Here we gooooo 🚀

The essence of my classes are the connection to your inner world so that you can radiate your inner glow outwards.
I’m all for creating that inner peace ☮️

Let’s bust that old time yoga myth straight away that you need to be bendy to do yoga.

Let me reassure you that you don’t need to be a certain level of fitness, flexibility or anything like that to join .

My classes are vinyasa flow which allow you to flow from one movement to the next. Yes it will provide a physical challenge at points but with yoga it is all about you working with your own body. It’s called yoga ‘practice’ for a reason as it’s not a destination. The achievement is getting on your mat and connecting your mind and body. It’s a beautifully healing practice on so many levels and amazing for your overall well-being 🌱

My classes are suitable for complete beginners, people who have done some yoga or intermediate yogis.

Classes will start the week commencing Monday 17th June, initially in 2 locations;

📍 Rainford
📍Rainhill

I am offering 2 options:

✅ A 5 week block Soul Glow Yoga course
✅A Pay As You Go option to try it out (this is only for the first block)

The best news is that today is my birthday 🥳 and I have some incredible money saving offers for today and tomorrow only….

🎉 £5 off block bookings for a 5 week course for 1 class per week
🎉 £10 off a block booking of a 5 week course for 2 classes per week.

If you’d like to book , you can find all the options and prices in the booking link below ⬇️

Any questions at all, feel free to ask.

Plase share for anybody who you think might be interested 🙏🏻

P.S. I will add more evenings and locations once I see where the demand is :)

Eek! Excited! Tomorrow (on my birthday🎉) I’ll be announcing start dates, times and locations for my brand new yoga classes 🧘‍♀️ Booking will go live tomorrow evening 🤩 I’m so excited to bring it to the world. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to spread the yoga love with you 💕

A huge thank you to the lovely Abbie May for my branding. She hand drew it all and was so patient with all the changes I kept asking for. She’s fabulous! Thanks Abbie 🙏🏻

Yay!!! I passed! 🧘‍♀️ Went for pizza and ice cream to celebrate 🎉 🧘‍♀️

My little monkey Max said “Should a yoga teacher be eating that?” 🤣

10 months of nearly 2 weekends every month being away from my family to complete my training. A huge shout out to my amazing hubby Jamie Murray for his constant support, taking the reins with our munchkins, testing me for my exams and always being my biggest cheerleader ❤️

It’s been a big journey but I’ve really loved it. It’s been so much more than a physical practice….yoga is a way of being and living life. For me it’s also helped to bring me back home to myself and build trust within my own body again 🫶

I’ve met the most gorgeous souls along the way and I can’t wait to see their journeys unfold.

My classes will be launching on Monday 17th June. Details to follow this week. So excited for this next chapter. I hope to see lots of you there 💕💕

Final yoga exam today. Eek! 🧘‍♀️ Bervoys, excited, feeling all the feels!! A huge thank you to all the lovely ladies who have been my practise participants to help me prepare ❤️💕

A great day delivering another Well-being day as part of the Well-being programme for veterans at the amazing Andy Reid MBE - Standing Tall Foundation. Very grateful for the opportunities to support people, share my knowledge and help inspire others to find their power from within. I love the work that these guys are doing at this brilliant local charity and can’t wait to do more with them ❤️

First Aid course and someone popped in with this little cutie 🥰 Think I fell a little bit in love 🥹

✨Grief✨

Grief is a strange thing. It raises its head when you least expect it. You can be coasting along just fine and it hits you like a tonne of bricks out of nowhere. It rocks you to your core.

Yesterday I was triggered into my own grief by something I saw online. It brought up so much about the loss of my health, the loss of a successful business that I loved, no longer being able to do what was once my heart and soul passion 💃

I haven’t felt the loss like that for a while now. The intensity of those feelings of grief shocked me how they can still be triggered when I least expect it.

That’s the thing with grief though….it isn’t linear. You can think you’re there with healing and acceptance and all of a sudden you feel the sadness, the anger, the denial , the bargaining, the shock. Like the trauma of it has just happened all over again.

However, I did something different with it. Instead of putting on the mask pretending I’m fine, I cried…a lot. I let the tears flow freely. I messaged my friends, had a cry to Jamie, shared it with my mum and went to a 2 hour kundalini class, which again I cried through most of it and let that energy go.

In the past I would have punished myself for these feelings. I would have hidden them and beat myself up for having those feelings in the first place.

And that’s when you know you’re healing ❤️‍🩹 When you can sit with the emotions, allow them to be there, and give them space at the dinner table, something shifts within. The energy of the emotion can move rather than get stuffed down and stuck in the physical body. Did you know it literally gets stored in the fascia of the muscles? That’s why I love yoga so much because it can release this stuff.

Today I feel proud that I’m living as an embodied leader. I preach this to all my coaching clients and friends about allowing their emotions, embracing their humanness and the full spectrum of emotions. You can experience those feelings alongside the joy, the contentment, the excitement. I’m finally giving myself permission to do the same without shame 🙌🏻

Grief arising may be painful but it allows us to deepen into our healing. We’re all as humans always evolving, changing, growing and healing. We all experience things that challenge us. It’s only when we embrace the darkness that we can truly appreciate the light ✨

That was a long one! If you’ve got to the end, thank you. By the way, I’m fine, just sharing for anybody who needed reminding that it’s ok to fully feel what you’re experiencing 🙏🏻

Officially taught my first yoga class today 🧘‍♀️ 😍❤️ These lovely ladies volunteered to come along as my participants while I got some practice in ready for my teaching exam next month. Super happy with how it went, enjoyed every minute. Yoga is such a powerful healing tool and so great for the mind, body and soul ✨ I can’t wait to start teaching properly 🧘‍♀️

After a rough few days with my ME/CFS, I’m so grateful 💕 People keep saying “Wow, it’s so good to see you back out there doing loads of things “ but I suppose we only share the highlight reel. Managing my health is a huge part of my life now. Sometimes I’m great and feel like I’m winning at life, other days I just get through the day. The biggest difference now is I accept that it is a journey and healing from a chronic illness takes time, huge life changes, consistency with new habits and acceptance, which took me a long time. I’m 4 years into this journey now and still learning what I can and can’t do. Huge love to anybody who is living with a chronic illness ❤️

Such a gorgeous day being attuned to Reiki ✨✨ I’ve been having reiki healing myself for about 7 years now and decided to do level 1 with my gorgeous friend and reiki master Lyndsey May 💕 Such a bonus getting to do it with my lovely friend Laura Riley 😍

It feels like everything is coming together with all the healing modalities I’ve been studying the last few years 🙏🏻

🧠 Life Coaching for the mind
✨ Reiki for the energetic and physical body
🧘‍♀️ Yoga for the physical body, energetic body, mind and soul

Next steps are somatic yoga and dance and my masters in Psychotherapy. I’m just loving this journey so much and can’t wait to see where it all leads 💕

When I got sick with ME/CFS it felt like my world was over when I could no longer run my fitness business. Now I look back and am so grateful that door was closed in order to open new doors and make space for new things. It takes courage to follow your heart but it’s always the way ❤️

✨Women’s circle- 6 spaces available✨

My next monthly Women’s Circle is taking place on Monday 25th March 7-9pm ⭕️

It is Full Moon in Libra and we will also be honouring Spring Equinox as we officially enter into the new astrological year 🌻 ☀️ Hooray!! Bring on those lighter nights and better weather ☀️ 💐

During the session we will be taking some time to do vision boards. The theme of the session will be around vibration and energy so really learning how you can raise your vibration. Ultimately we’re all energy so the higher we can raise our vibe, the more positivity we can manifest ✨

If you’d like to come along and be held in a beautiful supportive space while connecting inwards, taking time for you and filling up your cup, there’s a few spaces left 💕

Feel free to drop me a message for more info or you can book via the link in the comments below.

Such a gorgeous Women’s Circle last night based on the theme of self-compassion…which we all need more of 💕💕

🌸 Emerging from winter season ☀️

Have you felt like you’ve been in hibernation this winter? I certainly have ❄️

Over the last few months I’ve massively taken some time to go inwards and do some huge self-work. It’s taken a lot of energy and focus and meant I’ve not had space to share on social media. The benefits of it have been huge though! I feel so energised ⚡️

My focus has been on:

🌱 Health practices and habits
☀️ Nervous system training
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family and close relationships
🧘‍♀️ Yoga teacher training
🌸 My 1-1 coaching clients, corporate coaching and charities
🧠 Working with a hypnotherapist
🏠 Supporting my husband in his business
🥰 Most of all being super present in my own life

I’ve really enjoyed this time away from social media and being so present. I’ve really been trying to work out how I can run my business without having to use social media. It’s a tough one!

The modern world is so fast-paced and we’re so hyper connected that it’s a lot for our nervous systems. So many people are in hyper vigilant states due to the sheer amount of stimulation on a daily basis. It’s too much for our brains and bodies.

I’m loving slower paced living where I can actually look after myself properly and have spaciousness. So many women who come to me are on the brink of burnout and it truly saddens me that is the norm. I’m here to help change that.

If you’re looking for 1-1 coaching around your well-being, creating more balance, health and energy, I now have space for 2 new clients. Feel free to reach out for a chat and I can offer a free discovery call 🙌🏻

I also now offer corporate well-being workshops. I’ve absolutely loved doing this recently and the amazing impact in can have not only on the individuals but on their families and the businesses/work environment. If it’s something you’re interested in for your work place, reach out to arrange a consultation 😀

My next monthly Women’s Circle is Sunday 25th Feb 7-9pm at Eccleston Village Hall. Message to book your space ❤️

Ready to deliver corporate well-being workshops. Love that I get to do work that I’m so passionate about 💗 🌸 ✨

Been to UCLAN this morning for an Interview for a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy 👩‍🎓 It was intense- I need a nap now. I haven’t had an interview since my early 20’s as I’ve been self-employed ever since 😅

It was strange to be back in Preston as I did my Dance training there 10 years ago. Whilst studying there I built my fitness business alongside it and it went crazy!

It’s crazy to think I’m possibly going to be studying there again whilst running my life coaching busines, plus adding my yoga in…full circle ⭕️

Excited and nervous all in one about these next steps but know I’m on the right path 💕

It’s never too late to learn and change. The interviewer said to me today “I can see you’re a life-long learner Ellen.” She’s right- I love learning, growing and listening to the nudges from my soul ✨ It’s easy to tell ourselves stories about why we can’t do something but ultimately they are just stories.

I know retraining will take hard work and studying at Masters level alongside having a young family, running a business and managing my health will be a lot but I’m open to trying ❤️

Let’s see if I get accepted first 🤣

Felt very grateful and humbled to do some work today for the amazing Andy Reid MBE - Standing Tall Foundation. I delivered a day of Well-being workshops as part of their Well-being programme for veterans. They are such an amazing charity doing amazing work for people who are going through difficulties, particularly with mental health ❤️

I feel at my most alive standing in front of a room delivering information on what I’m most passionate about….mindset, well-being and mental health. I loved teaching about the nervous system and the mind-body connection to help them with anxiety, stress and depression. It’s huge within healing especially with trauma.

It’s such an honour to be able to educate but also to hold a safe space for people to dive into their inner world and help them to create an empowering plan to move out of survival into thriving. I just love the power of coaching ✨✨

Super proud of the men who attended and grateful for them being so open, interactive and willing to do the work ❤️
