I'm looking forward to sharing some restful yoga as part of this Relax, Recharge and Reboot day of Self-Care with Sharon Ledwith Wellness Thank you for inviting me along :)

Today, 1st February 2022, Spring, Imbolg, Brigid's Day.
Spring flowers emerging symbolising growth, hope and potential.

For me January was a surprisingly and active month as I welcomed new and returning to yoga classes and retreat days. I received unexpected but welcome opportunities and moments of inspiration for new approaches to old ways. There were also some difficult moments to be faced.

At the weekend I treated myself to an afternoon retreat of music and relaxation with Rosie McMahon and Fiona Guiheen Thank you both. :)

On the day I selected an affirmation card that was offered and it truly resonated!

"Take a breath and create space within yourself"

Thank you :)

Crossing the threshold from winter to spring.

1st February and Brigid's Day.

If you find you are drawn to the meditative side of yoga, adding a Yin Yoga session to your regular practice could be for you. Thursday evening 6.30pm is Yin Yoga at SETU Galway with Siobhán Sloane.

In Yin yoga we move slowly allowing our breath, focus and gravity to gently settle into the yoga shapes and stay longer to soften and stretch to gradually release tension.

This effort is rewarded with a deep meditation, a lightness in the body and a shine from the inside out.

It can be challenging to slow down in yoga, to spend longer in the poses. By exploring different types of yoga, we tune in to what practice will meet our needs from day to day.

This Yin Yoga class with Siobhán Sloane on Thursdays at 6.30pm is suitable for all levels including beginners. Give it a try and shine from the Yinside Out!

The lighter days and spring bulbs emerging are signs from nature that we are in the phase of awakening from the stillness of winter and moving toward growth and hope - Imbolg 🦋

My thanks to the group that joined me at SETU in Kilcornan to mark the beginning of this Celtic calendar phase of Imbolg.

Together we practised gentle yoga, deep meditation and yoga nidra. We shared lunch and gathered to engage our senses with essential oils.

Nature is not simply a place we visit and then leave, nature is within us. If we pay attention, the cycles of nature provide an anchor to balance and ground us.

This is why we need to retreat every once in a while; step away from technology, let go of expectations of ourselves and others, observe and be. 🌿
