Adopting slower fitness 👇🏼

“The benefits of switching to a slower form of exercise such as slow cardio, yoga, or Pilates during this sensitive time are tenfold,” explains https://www.moreyoga.co.uk/ instructor Scarlett Woodford. “When we undertake challenging cardio such as HIIT, our stress hormone, cortisol, can raise over time and put us at a higher constant stress level—even long after you’ve left the gym.”

With this in mind, I’ve swapped out all but one HIIT session a week for longer, slow runs, which are still great for promoting the release of “feel-good” hormones, as well as being good for burning fat, which has helped towards stabilising my perimenopause weight gain. I’ve also added yoga and Pilates alongside strength training to support flexibility, bone strength, and ward off osteoporosis.

“Then there’s the mindful aspect of yoga,” explains Woodford. “A common symptom of perimenopause is increased anxiety and brain fog, and many yoga styles have been proven to not only ease this symptom but actually alter the state of the nervous system as your body begins to call for a slower pace. During softer styles of yoga such as yin, restore and yoga nidra, practitioners guide you into a tranquil mental space that can lead to a calmer mood and improved sleep, concentration and overall emotional balance.”

As part of these workout tweaks, I’ve become more mindful when it comes to fitness nutrition. I would often skip breakfast before or after a workout to save time, but in an effort to combat fatigue and promote muscle recovery, I’m making sure to eat carbohydrates before training, even if it’s just a banana, and ensure I ingest protein post-workout. By altering my exercise regime, I’ve definitely noticed that my joints feel stronger, I’m less tired, and I’ve even seen an improvement in performance, which is a bonus.”

Meditation is a powerful tool proven to reduce stress, anxiety and low mood, increase confidence and enhance the ability to create and maintain healthy habits ✨

Other benefits of Meditation:
🌿 Improves focus and concentration
🌿 Boosts mood and happiness
🌿 Increases self-awareness
🌿 Promotes better sleep

Remember, meditation is a practice that takes time and commitment. Even a couple of minutes a day can be beneficial. Be patient and kind to yourself ❤️

Yoga is not only inversions 🙃⁠
⁠
Sometimes your yoga practice can be childspose for an hour. Or a 10-minute meditation. Or simply checking in with yourself in the middle of your day 🤗⁠
⁠
Asana is only a tiny fraction of what 'Yoga' is! 🌿⁠
⁠
Remember, yoga is about finding what works for you in every moment. It's a journey of self-discovery, both on and off the mat 🙏🏼

It feels like doing things simply because we want to is becoming a lost art... 👀

In a world obsessed with productivity and goals, it's easy to forget that sometimes, the most fulfilling activities are the ones that bring us joy without an ulterior motive 🤗

Embracing the simple pleasure of doing what we love can profoundly impact our mental health. It reduces stress, boosts our mood, and helps us feel more connected to ourselves 💗

Remember, it's okay to do things just for the sake of doing them ✨

Are you addicted to stress? 🤯

It's a common misconception that we all strive for a stress-free life... What if our fast-paced lifestyles and constant hustle are actually giving us a high? 🤔

Many of us are hooked on the adrenaline rush, the drama, and the illusion of success that comes with being constantly overwhelmed 🥴

Do you recognize yourself in these signs of stress addiction?
▶️Overbooking yourself
▶️ Working long hours
▶️ Struggling to say no
▶️ Constantly connected to devices
▶️ Feeling emotionally up and down
▶️ Having trouble sleeping

It's time to break free! Let's reclaim our lives and find balance.

Here's how to start:
1️⃣ Incorporate mindful movement like yoga.
2️⃣ Set boundaries and prioritize work-life balance.
3️⃣ Rediscover the joys of life.
4️⃣ Dedicate time for non-negotiable downtime.
5️⃣ Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

Remember, you deserve a life filled with peace and well-being. Let's start making changes today! 🔋

Original blog written by

"I can definitely recommend MoreYoga studios!!! The quality of classes is amazing & there's a class for every level. I go there every day or even twice a day because I just love it so much" - Nora via Facebook 🥰

Thank you, Nora! It made us so happy to read you're enjoying MoreYoga 🥳

Is anyone else coming twice a day? 😱

Kicking off the week with a little self-care🧘‍♀️

Even just 1 hour of yoga can make a world of difference ▶️ It’s the secret weapon for calming your mind, letting go of stress, and finding a moment of peace amidst the chaos of daily life 🥴

Whether you're dealing with work deadlines, family commitments, or the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yoga can help you find your centre and recharge 🔋

So, take a deep breath, roll out your mat, and let the stress melt away 💆

How would you like to start your week? 🤔

Let go and let flow 🧘‍♀️

When you release what no longer serves you, you create space for what's meant to be ✨

In yoga, this can mean letting go of expectations or judgments. Focusing on the present moment, letting go of what no longer serves you and accepting what it is can bring peace and clarity on what is meant to be 💗

What are you letting go of? 💬

It's Yin AND Yang, not Yin VS. Yang ☯️⁠ ⁠

We're looking for balance in pretty much all areas of our lives, and your yoga practice shouldn't be an exception ✅⁠ ⁠

Yin and Yang Yoga complement each other, and if you try to find the right balance, your body will thank you. 🖤

Benefits of yin? ⁠
Yin Yoga will help you to increase your flexibility and joint range of movement. It will infuse your practice with deep relaxation while helping with tissue regeneration. ⁠ ⁠

Benefits of yang? ⁠
Any Yang yoga style will work your muscles, helping you build strength. By marrying breath and movement, you will build stamina and calm the mind. ⁠ ⁠

Each of us tends to prefer one style over the other. Are you more of a yin or yang person? 🤗⁠

The Q***r Yoga Club with &

💗 Join Camille and David to explore self-awareness, connect with others, and find joy within a supportive, inclusive community. This is an open space to practice and integrate queerness into well-being.

▶️ This Q***r Yoga Club session is themed around “home.” Home differs for us all, as heteronormative, familial, and societal expectations can amplify the search for acceptance and self-identity. As we grow and evolve, we seek authentic spaces to call home. Join us on a journey of movement and introspection as we redefine what “home” means for ourselves.

What's 'The Q***r Yoga Club?'

Each session explores a unique theme relevant to LGBTQ+ experiences and includes creative sessions such as journaling, group discussions and taught workshops. You will be guided through a simple yet purposeful Yoga practice and guided through meditation with the intent to offer self-reflection and acceptance. We aim to bring people together and foster friendships, so you can expect an element of interaction with others, although you are welcome to join in as a listener.

This quote by B.K.S. Iyengar beautifully captures the essence of yoga: finding balance between acceptance and action ⚖️

What does it mean?
▶️ Cure what need not be endured: Yoga teaches us to address issues that are within our control, such as stress, anxiety, or unhealthy habits. Through practices like meditation and asana, we can cultivate tools to manage these challenges.
▶️ Endure what cannot be cured: Some things in life are beyond our control. Yoga helps us develop resilience and acceptance, allowing us to navigate life's difficulties gracefully.

How can you apply this to your daily life?
✅ Mindfulness: Notice your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
✅ Self-care: Prioritize practices that nourish your body and mind.
✅ Acceptance: Embrace the things you cannot change and focus on what you can control.
