Welcome Oasis

Had the most relaxing evening trying out a lovely Sound Bath experience lead by 🧘‍♀️🤍

Perfect way to spend a dark winter evening! It felt like a massage for your brain😌

| Find Beauty in Chaos 🥀

India is a fascinating country. It’s vibrant, bustling and an attack on all the senses.

Depending on your mindset you could view this positively or negatively. This is something I love most about Mumbai. You get to decide. If you look closely, you will find beauty in all the small moments, in every corner of every street🫶🏽

| Where is your happy place?

I love to be by the ocean or surrounded by water. Watching the waves crash against the rocks, allowing the water to tickle my toes. Swimming like a fish in the pool.

Even when I can’t be near the water I draw on these past experiences and take my mind there through meditation.

Visualisation is a wonderful meditation technique that can allow you to escape from the present.

| Dear Sun Members,

I want to celebrate TWO years of flowing with you. Welcome Oasis is officially 2 and I couldn’t have done it without you.

Some of my proudest moments so far:

☀️Wildlife Relief Flow
☀️ Ukraine Thoughtful Flow
☀️ Our Online Studio

I hope I have created a safe space for you to show up for yourself. To come as you are. A place to relax, release and appreciate.

Oceans of love to you all,
Niamh x

| Happy Sunday Team Welcome Oasis

I miss you all lots and I’m sending all the good vibes across the Indian Ocean to you🫶🏽

I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to a chanting and meditation class in Bandra, Mumbai at The Yoga House. It was a wonderful hour session to celebrate a close friends birthday whilst out here.

It amazed me how much energy we could create as a group with just the sound and vibration of our voices. It was a wonderful way to connect whilst relaxing from the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps.

| Our Last Live Sunset 🥹🧘‍♀️…

… until August!

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to each and every Sun Member who has chosen to flow with me over the last 2 years. I feel so honoured that you choose me as your yoga teacher!

I can’t wait to head off to the Home of Yoga to learn lots and immerse myself in the culture of India. I look forward to sharing those learns with you all on my return!

I hope you find your own oasis through our Online Studio. A space to feel tranquil, relaxed and completely and utterly chill❤️

| Happy Halloween🎃💀🔮

I had so much fun tonight flowing with my wonderful sun members! Halloween Yoga always tests my creativity from zombie walks to dead bugs we did it all👻

| Your Monday reminder to ‘Be Uniquely You!’

Have you been to Scotland’s Best Day Spa😍?

Let me tell you why you should put this Spa top of your Christmas Wishlist (is it too early for Christmas talk, I think not🤭)

❤️ The Gin Spa is an experience not just a treatment

🧡 The staff are so friendly and kind you feel at peace from the second you step through the door

💛 You get a welcome tea on arrival followed by your very own spa consultation which includes your own choice of massage oils

💚 They work with another amazing small business called whose oils and products are designed to make you feel different ways. From Tranquil to Happy, Energised to Calm.

💙 The staff are so knowledgable about these products and the benefits of each one for your body and they explain all this to you

💜 You get to choose three positive affirmation cards before your treatment which match your chosen oil

💗 Your treatment ends with aromatherapy chocolate and a Gin of your choice from the Gin trolley of Dreams😍

| Maybe we’ve been taught it all wrong!

Do you ever feel overwhelmed that your not really living?

That your being lazy or not making the most out of each and every day?

Your exhausted but you see everyone else out so you think you should be too?

We are taught that the best things in life are big, perhaps expensive or even challenging! They are wild, bold and brilliant and shouldn’t be simple or easy.

The problem with that mentality is it becomes unsustainable very quickly.

If we can’t find the small joys in the day to day then we find ourselves consistently disappointed.

Our cup always half empty

Our body never energised

Our mind constantly searching for more

To be enough

☀️☀️☀️☀️

What if we changed the game?

Lockdown taught me to love a walk. A morning walk, an evening walk, a walk with friends, a walk alone. A walk with music, a podcast, the sound of the leaves being rustled by the wind. A walk with coffee, a walk with snacks, a routine walk or a random. Maybe the best things in life really are the most simple 🐾👣

| An evening of poetry with

💞💗💕🌸💖

Have you ever been to a poetry night?

I’m Scottish and aside from your classic primary school Scottish Poetry competition around the time of Rabbie Burns Birthday, I have never had the opportunity to see poetry live. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I didn’t quite know what to expect but wow Rupi Kaur was a breath of fresh air😌 when this girl steps on stage pure magic happens!

As a performer myself I was mesmerised by how Rupi captured the crowd in every poem, every thought and feeling was brought to life when she spoke.

She made me proud to be female.

She taught me how to understand concepts I have never experienced and educated us all on depression, anxiety, feminism, and family.

I left feeling uplifted, refreshed and like I had a better perspective on life, if even for an evening.

If you ever get the opportunity to go see Rupi, I highly recommend. You will not regret it! You can also purchase one of her incredible poetry books, my favourite is ‘The Sun and Her Flowers’!🌸🌸🌸

| A thought for tomorrow morning 💭😌

I’ve been creating a much better morning routine recently or heck let’s call it a ritual and be fancyyyy😉

The original routine was literally roll out of bed, dress like lightening and jump on the train which is conveniently closely located to my house. At the other end it was off, coffee and a hike up some steps (non negotiable… I’d tell myself not to even think about considering the escalator!) and voila I arrived at my destination.

But then Scotrail decided to recalibrate everyone’s morning ritual with random train times so now my routine has been slightly altered and in fact it’s for the better!

So I guess, thanks for something Scotrail?!

I still roll out of bed, I like to live on the edge in regards to how many snoozes I can optimise before I really am pushing the limits. Not going to pretend I’m part of the 5am club.

For anyone who knows me I am what I would call “elite” at getting ready fast. Must be the dance background with years of quick changes for practice!

I get to work too early now so I’ve decided to get off at an early stop and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the city. Headphones on, phone away, I now enjoy a 25 minute walk to work.

What I love most about this time is the chance to look about. To actually be present. It’s the same walk everyday it would be so easy to go on autopilot however I like to really look at the world around me. I laugh at crazy pigeons and find joy in other peoples connections. The smiles, the tourists, the shops that I’m convinced change order everyday like some magic Diagon Alley situation😂

So next time your feeling overwhelmed I encourage you to zone out of your head and zone in on your surroundings. What do you see? What quirks of life are in front of you? Where’s the beauty?

I’ve got the perfect antidote for your Sunday Scaries😌

Do you spend the second half of your Sunday stressing about the new week?

Are you stuck in a constant loop of feeling exhausted and burnt out by weeks end?

Does your tension headache never leave you?

If you said yes to any of the above questions, I would love to invite you to join me for a six week Spa themed Sunday Sunset yoga class😍

That’s right… Spa themed🧖🏼‍♀️

This class has been said to leave yogis feeling relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated✨

| Imagine you viewed yourself the way your five closest friends viewed you😍

Wouldn’t that be empowering?

We are all SO self critical

No matter if you say mean things out loud or internally, it still makes an impact on your overall outlook and self perception.

Imagine a tape of those negative comments playing on repeat day in day out.

It would be insufferable, right?

A constant noise you can’t get rid of. Belittling you and tearing you down. You wouldn’t want it to stop❌

If it was your bestie, you would be getting angry at them for being so damn harsh on themselves 😡

Ask yourself…
What advantage comes out of putting yourself down for the way you look?

Imagine how we could make ourselves feel if we stopped judging and started celebrating and being grateful for what our body does for us.

I’m talking not only the physical features but the mental aspect as well.

You are bright
You are beautiful
& people love you for you!

| GIN SPA DREAMING😍

Scotland’s Best Day Spa✨

Last time I had a massage at the Gin Spa I was made aware that my tension was carried in my shoulders and interestingly my forearms.

All that typing I guess!💻

Bringing awareness to these areas through mindful movement can help protect and maintain your body🧘‍♀️

You can incorporate massage oil into your yoga practice to create a relaxing practice. The Gin Spa sell a beautiful range made by 💛❤️🧡

| ELBOW BALANCE 🧘‍♀️

The perfect example of Yin and Yang!

Trying to find balance whilst requiring lots of strength and control.

Growing up as an acrobat this was a posture I really struggled with. I was forever following forward and ending up a big heap on the floor🤣

However the more I tried the more my body adapted and allowed me to hold this posture for an extra second.

The exact same principle can be brought into our yoga postures. It’s not meant to be easy. You will fail time and time again and that’s okay. Keep trying and challenging your body mentally and physically and you will see results.

PS- sand is not a recommended flat surface 😉

| INDIA🇮🇳

The home of Yoga🧘‍♀️

My middle name🥹

I am delighted to say that I have been given the opportunity to go and work and live in India later this year for 4-6 months🇮🇳🥲

I can’t wait to experience this culture and learn more about the country that brought yoga to life!

Welcome Oasis, I can’t wait to take you on this crazy adventure with me🪷🧘‍♀️

Just a moment to celebrate Mother Nature and this beautiful planet we call home!

Welcome Oasis was founded on the idea we have three homes. Our mind, our body and our planet🌍

Nothing grounds me more than talking a walk in nature and truly being grateful for what’s around me.

Let’s continue to strive to be better. Come together to protect our planet and stay curious about how we can leave it a better place for our great great grandchildren!

Just some wholesome holiday content with my favourite human and travel partner 🌍

Pictures like this are rarely those shared on instagram because we are so concerned about looking perfect or presenting ourselves to others in a certain way.

It’s exhausting and super unrealistic of life💙

Happiness is not measured by acne free skin and perfectly posed pictures😌

I’m clearing at my happiest with some sort of snorkel on my head😂🤿

You are fabulous for being YOU!

Let’s normalise transparency 💪
