Following the yoga workshop, attendees will be invited to try a selection of smoothies and juices to finish off the perfect Saturday summer morning at Rockwater!

💖 Radiate your light into the world & the light shines back on you 💕

As we welcome the longest day this week, I encourage you to surround yourself in the light of our communities and shine brightly.

Connection and community has never been stronger as we yearn for being around soulful people like ourselves.

Imagine what the world would be like if everyone did yoga… what a place it would be. 🌍

This week we are reminded that yoga is for everyone, practiced all around the world and the values of this ancient practice and way of life. I try to create an array of offerings with an open heart to allow yoga to reach everyone. 🙏

To mark and celebrate both Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day, there are some special opportunities this week to connect.

Yoga and where to go…

Hi community,

Some of you I connect with on our mats already.

🙋‍♀️Some of you may be followers of mine, seeing all I’m up to and thinking things like;
‘I’d love to try that but I’m not ready’
‘I wish I lived closer’

I have launched a special ‘Feel Good’ series on my app.
The app wasn’t created to generate profit but was for all of the above plus for regulars to maintain their practice with me if I’m not here from time to time.

Starting in the comfort of your own home takes motivation but once you start, you will get the ‘yoga bug’.
Being the comfort of your home can help you to gain confidence in your yoga journey, switch off and connect to you.

Perhaps you enjoy practicing with me online, in my winter Slow n Sleepy Yin classes but we’ve lost touch.

🙌 How do I do a sun salutation?
🙌 How can I meditate?
🙌 What’s journaling?

If the above rings true for you, answer this;

❓Can you commit to doing 3 short videos 3 times a week for a month?

👍 This is for you…

How- DM me and I’ll ping you a link to connect and join the growing Feel Good Series challenge.
You will sign up and subscribe to your 30 day trial to do this course worth £20 for FREEE (existing app subscribers, head straight on and join).

💝 Plus, until Friday, by signing up, I’ll enter you for a chance to win your own brand-new Underwater Design yoga mat. 🤩

Are you ready to gain confidence, increase your positivity and connect to your soul for direction for rest of this year?

Drop me a dm today.

Yogis please give your support for another opportunity for more saunas in gorgeous location x

Help us create a stunning destination sauna at Lulworth Cove! 🐚🦕

After months of hard work behind the scenes, we’re thrilled to unveil our plans for a breathtaking destination sauna at Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast.

We’ll be hosting our next 'Drop in Session' at the Boat Shed Cafe in Lulworth Cove on Thursday 27th June, 5pm-7pm, along with Petite Hotels and Lulworth Estate, to answer any questions you might have about our plans. We'll discuss the benefits of contrast therapy and community wellbeing, and how this project aims to support winter/off-season tourism as well as local wellbeing in the area. To turn this dream into reality, we need your support on our planning application.

Our Vision:

✨ Reviving our original sauna: We're excited to bring our original sauna, which used to be on Sandbanks beach, to Lulworth Cove. After some much-needed rest and renovations in the workshop, it’s ready for a new chapter. We'll be taking the luxury sauna off its trailer and enhancing it with a cladding of decking around the sauna for a dedicated, permanent sauna experience. Imagine relaxing in this luxurious wood-fired sauna, with the water lapping at your feet and stunning views all around!

🛠️ Reconstruction and enhancement: As part of this project, we plan to make good the existing concrete plinth to further protect the cliffs, ensuring a safe and sustainable environment for our sauna and its visitors. We will also add a small wood store and a swimming ladder for easy access to the cove.

🚿 Partnership with Petite Hotels: We're collaborating with Petite Hotels to offer sauna changing facilities at the Lulworth Lodge, an outdoor shower with natural spring water, and a dedicated space for you and your group to enjoy food and drinks, no matter the weather.

🤝 Support local businesses and community: This project is designed to benefit the local community by creating a year-round attraction with particular benefits in the autumn and winter months. By partnering with local businesses, we aim to boost the local economy through increased tourism and patronage. Our collaboration with local vendors and service providers ensures that our efforts help support local livelihoods, foster a stronger, more vibrant community, and provide a consistent stream of visitors even during the off-season.

Clear you mind…

Did you know we have approximately 60,000 thoughts flooding our mind every day.

🌊 How I visualise the mind is like the ocean.

Some days our mind feels like a calm sea with the odd ripple, quiet and smooth.

Other times the ripples are more like waves but we can go with the ebb and flow.

Then there are the days your mind is like the ocean in a storm with sporadic waves, crashing and towering over you until they cause you to submerge.

Does your mind feel unorganised?
Do you find decisions can be clouded?
Maybe you feel overwhelmed at times?
Want a healthy and easy way to calm the noise?

Journaling-

Writing things down is a proven and therapeutic way to de-clutter the mind and get clarity.

I can help you to ride the ocean feeling safe, calm and afloat.

The Feel Good Series has an element where I take you through an easy way to journal.

I successfully journaled for 143 days straight and although I don’t religiously do this now, the layout is imprinted in my brain, practicing these in my daily life.

How to join the 30 day online Feel Good Series;

- DM me with your email and phone number
- Download the Ali Moves App (link in bio) and subscribe to your 30 day trial.
- Join our closed what’s app group to give support and guidance and to celebrate your wins.

Sound good?

Offices launch Sunday 2nd June.

WIN- there will be a giveaway of one of my ocean themed yoga mats for your home practice. 😃

Your relationship with yourself 💗

🤔 What does ‘self-care’ mean to you?

SELF-CARE= The practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress.

🤔 Do you you take time for self-care?

Do you go for days, weeks not realising you haven’t filled your self-care & love cup? ‘I’m too busy’, ‘I know I need to do more but not sure where to start’.

🤔 How is your relationship with your mind- your thoughts?

At the start of every yoga class, I ask the group;
‘How do you feel today?’

Sometimes in the busy wheel of life, we may not ask ourselves this, flippantly responding to the ‘How are you’ with a ‘yes fine thanks’.
But how are you REALLY?

🤔 How do you handle periods of stress, anxiety, loneliness?

I am very lucky to not have some of the commitments many of you have and also eternally grateful to have had my eyes opened to my self-care practice and connection to myself and needs.

🙋‍♀️ Me;

🛀 Non-negotiable baths
📕 Getting lost in a good book (I am finishing my 4th - so much for a non-reader).
☀️ I ensure I go outside in nature everyday.
🌊 I take sea dips 3 times weekly min.
✍🏻 I journal ( it started with Miracle Morning and journaled for 143 consecutive days).

There are others too referring to hobbies and relationships too. 💕

YES PLEASE BUT I CAN’T… (read on)

🆕 Hi community,

🌟 BEGINNER YOGIS
🌟 LOW CONFIDENCE
🌟 MOTIVATION NEEDED
⭐️ SELF-CARE RE-BOOT

The above ring to you? ⬆️ READ ON…

Our yoga community is growing which fills my heart with gratitude. In our safe space I came to understand that it is a huge deal to come to an in person yoga class or some are not local.
Some of you are joining me on retreat and have said you want to gain confidence before coming- which by the way, you don’t need to at all, all are welcome.

I know how this feels-

- For various reasons there were times where I just couldn’t face going to class or I don’t ’make’ the time…
- In a cloud of grieving and depression with my RRMS years ago I couldn’t face it.

Maybe you feel all the 🌸 around you are in full bloom and you’re still digging away uncovering yourself or not sure what seeds to plant for your self-care.

COMING FROM NEXT WEEK-

The Feel Good Series

4 Weeks- 3 videos per week.

How does this sound? Vote below or DM me and we can get you started- YES launch is from 2nd June BUT if you’re reading this, you can sneak on the app before and join current members 😘

Start anytime, Start Anywhere, Be There.

💝 Remember…

We can’t make everyone happy.

Let go of that heaviness you’re carrying around. Like ‘perfection’ you will never achieve it.

💭 Can you relate?
Do you put others needs before your own most of the time?
Self-care glow not shingling so bright right now? ✨

I am sharing this because my relationship with putting others before myself has been a rocky one.

I was always the ‘yes’ girl, rushing around trying to be everyone’s everything, meeting their needs until I would repeatedly be exhausted, or worse, when I said YES, I wasn’t fully present.

I have been working on my boundaries and a good to response to give more thinking time is;
‘Can I get back to you?’

Result- Some relationships have fizzled out but new ones have come in or being strengthened.
I have more respect for my time and my relationships.

Confession- My next step is to get back into my self-care practices which I love and have developed for years.

How about you? How is your self-care routine? Need some help?

🤩 What if I told you I can give you a month of ‘feel good’ tasks and lessons to help you find your ✨?

Send me a DM to find out more if you can’t wait for the launch coming Sunday.

And hey, VOTE below ⬇️ , let’s connect.
