Making yourself a priority is one of the most beneficial wellness steps you can take. It can improve every area of your life- health, emotional well being, and relationships to name a few. When we talk about self care, we often get caught up in the thought that this might be selfish. This is the farthest thing from the truth- and we need to get clear on that- Self Care is not selfish or self-centered!... When we take care of ourselves and fill our own cup. it makes a huge impact on how we show up in life for our responsibilities (I call these, the "things") and our loved ones (the "people"). How can we possibly give our best if we are depleted and drained? Here I have outlined 3 Types of Self Care and a few examples of each. By no means is this an all -inclusive list! The possibilities are endless and we can definitely get creative with the time and space we devote to nurturing ourselves... BODY - nourish your body: eat a healthy meal, move your body, take a warm bath MIND- challenge your mind: read, take a course, do a word search SPIRIT -find your peace: meditation, energy work, a nature walk, get creative I like to choose one or two small acts of self care a day. I mean 5 minutes small. A small time investment goes a long way when it comes to taking care of yourself. So for example, there are things I do every day like move by body, so in addition to that I might read for 5 minutes and play a game with my son. Another day I might meditate and make some bracelets. I know we are all busy and the last thing we are thinking of is doing something for ourselves when so many "things" and "people" are relying on us but just like we schedule in our meetings and other commitments, we gotta schedule that "ME" time in as well! Let's not be hard on ourselves- baby steps- start with scheduling one thing per weekend- even 5 minutes- and work your way up to one or two small acts per day. You need YOU Fill your cup Love yourself more

Some inspiration for going into the weekend... We are often so "busy" trying to be good at doing all the things and lose sight of what is truly important- being good to ourselves. Take some time the next few days and slow down.... Focus on yourself and your self care. Love yourself. Be good to YOU Sending luv + good vibes K #countryzenyoga #gtayogastudio #yogainthecountry #movementismedicine #selfcareishealthcare #loveyourselfmore #takecareofyou #yogastudio #yogalifestyle

Ring in the new year with us...virtually! New Years Eve....Sangha & Sankalpa Change seems to be the theme of the year....so, change of plans here, again! (see time change below) We would still like to come together to ring in the year with you and have decided to proceed with our workshop virtually! Space is unlimited now in the cyber studio! See some new updated details below:... We know its been a tough year, and it would be easy to look back and choose to disregard 2020, and no one would blame you for it. But just as its hard to see the light without the darkness, we have this divine opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the strengths we've acquired this past year- even if they haven't been in the ways we have planned. In intimate Sangha (community) coming together with the community from Breathe Yoga Bradford, we will find movement and reflection to release what we need to leave behind in 2020, and carve out a clear Sankalpa (intention) to carry us into 2021 with grounded clarity. This workshop will include gentle movement, journaling, and meditation- so please have your mat, cozy and comfy clothes, a blanket or two, perhaps a tea, and your favourite pen all ready at home!

h e l l o D E C E M B E R! a snow day to welcome in the new month! Its been a long year and we have all had our own unique experience with 2020. Yes, there is something big going on, no doubt....but we are still moving forward and through...... The days, weeks, and months are passing, The scenery changing, and on many different levels we are all forever changed. We can view the last year from the lens of loss, or we can can lean into our hardships to hopefully discover the lessons, a new way, and ultimately the growth that is ours to experience. There is always the opportunity to embrace our challenges and then go on to rise above them. Unwavering faith is key. Love over fear, and coming home to ourselves through our daily practices which bring us joy and clarity. Stay present, stand in your light, ...forward and through

a journey to Warrior 2 A Warrior is someone who has the strength to stand up for what he or she believes in; someone who keeps going in the face of challenges ; someone who protects those who are too weak to fight for themselves How do you show up in your day as a Warrior ?... Maybe It’s your courage and strength In the face of hardship , Or , standing up to your inner critic , Or, maybe it’s your determination and perseverance ... We are all born Warriors-powerful , bold, brave and fearless - our Warrior spirit is already there and always has been... Ps. practicing Warrior 2 encourages us to feel strong , centered, focused + powerful - it’s one of my faves !

Love, love this quote from B.K.S Iyengar’s "Light on Life"... When we are able to engage in our Asana practice more mindfully, how beautiful is it when this seamlessly carrys over to our day to day life off of the mat... We fully experience each moment...... We "deal" with things as they come... We learn to appreciate the little things... How do you see your Asana practice show up in your day to day to life ?
