Yoga & Beauty with Anna Olivia

🙏

Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to fill your own cup back up… I’m finding this so much more so these days as a Mummy 😴👩‍👧♥️
But it’s very important !!

How can you pour from an empty cup ?!
Being there for others and enjoying your time if the balance is off …then things do not feel so enjoyable 🥰

Take time for you and let your inner light shine bright 🌅

“I walk through life looking for people I don’t want to leave behind 💖”

This resonated with me today 🫶so much so I wanted to share it .. a lovely old chap stopped to have a chat & had some wise words 💟

DID YOU KNOW ?🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏽‍♂️

Breathing through the nose is calming & balancing 🫶
Breathing through the mouth is energising & promotes emotional release 🫶

Breathwork is so powerful & important I always incorporate it into each class .. it anchors us to the present moment.. clears the mind and connects us to our body .. our home for life taking us away from the busy mind chatter & into a nice serene calm space 😍

Can’t wait to see you on the mats 🫶🥰🙏

Breathe 💫
catch a moment to check your breathing .. what tempo your @ .. where can you feel your breath travel to .. are you filling up your lungs deeply & filling your belly.. rib cage ?

Focus on inhaling in through the nose & sending a nice big inhale into the belly & as you slowly exhale allow a big sigh to be released out through the mouth ! Let any tension & stress be released 🗣

Inhale and invite a fresh does of calmness into your wonderful body ✨ and allow all your cells to shine bright🌟

Tune into your body even if you have just 2 mins ☺️ is it trying to tell you anything ..
Tightness in any areas ?

Mind over active ?

◾️◽️YOGA BLOCKS◻️◼️

Don’t be afraid to add blocks into your yoga practice.. they will help you get into the correct poses. Preventing over stretching, wobbling, or generally feeling frustrated by not being where you think you should be !
I find the pics below very helpful & it can make such a difference & your practice much smoother.

Someone mentioned today in class about
' Downward dog ‘ being challenging .. I replied if I had not practiced yoga for 30 years .. I would have the same issues.

So be kind to yourself 👉AHIMSA ( no harm to oneself replace it with kindness instead )
work with your body and listen to what it’s trying to tell you & honour it .. if the blocks ◽️◾️◽️◾️ help or in general if your flushed from to many sun salutes & need a recovery take a child’s pose for a few deep breaths 👏

No one is judging you .. only your self!
So less judgement ..SATYA ( no judgment/ truthfulness .. be true to the situation & yourself )
Step out of your own 👉☺️ way !!!
Help yourself and enjoy your practice ♥️

I hope your all had a lovely weekend ? ♥️
Mondays is here again ! If like me you feel a bit like this guy!! Don’t fret - Yoga class will boost you from the inside out ♥️

Set yourself up for the week ahead … YOGA ALFRESCO tnite 🙏
