Thank you to everyone who came - see you all again soon for our Halloween themed session 🧙‍♀️

Sorting through my beach inspired yoga poses ready for our next family event 🐋 🦭 🐢

Do you have a toy that could live in the sea? What yoga pose could it be? 🌊 😊

Useful information to help understand our feelings and how to help ourselves return to a calm and happier state of mind 😊

Thank you for a lovely morning at our family yoga session today 💕

I didn't have time to take many photos but here is one of our games - exploring breath work by playing pom pom tennis 🎾

See you again in a couple of weeks 🤞 xx

"What is this feeling trying to tell me?" is a much more effective way of relating to difficult emotions than trying to fight them, push them away, or paint over them.

That's because there are no "bad" feelings. Sure, some are easier and more comfortable than others, but they are all messengers and they are all important.

Just like our nerve endings let us know when something is too sharp, hot, cold, and so on, our uncomfortable, difficult, and challenging feelings can let us know when our boundaries have been crossed, when we need to rest and recover, when we have unmet needs, what is important to us and all sorts of other important information about ourselves and the world around us.

If we can learn to reframe feelings as our emotional nerve endings, then maybe the next time they let us know something is awry we could try thanking them instead of wishing them away!

Speaking of thanking - thanks to for another amazing graphic!

A few things you can do this weekend? Or if you still have a week off school, maybe you can do them next week.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone 💜
