Don’t scroll by…

I really wanted to put something to celebrate IWD today, but I already know we are going to see and hear about it absolutely everywhere, and much like World Book Day, the likelihood becomes that we will switch off, or just keep scrolling….

It is so important we continue to reflect & recognise women’s progress, but, in today’s world, we can feel bombarded with too much of a good thing…

SO, everytime you see/hear about Intermational Women’s Day today, do your own bit for the theme of 2024…

JUST PAUSE & TAKE A BREATH, A MOMENT TO THINK, RESET, DESTRESS, REFILL YOUR CUP.

INVEST IN YOURSELF : YOU CAN PROGRESS

Hello yogis 🧘‍♀️
It’s fair to say it’s been a while since I felt able to post anything…
But it’s been a year since my stroke and yoga has most certainly played a most important part in my ability to recover and continuity of recovery.
My personal practice is nowhere near what it was but I have learned so much.
Now that I feel im in an improving place, both physically and mentally, I hope to be able to share some of my discoveries for mobility, balance and strength for when you may need it most.
I hope you find it interesting and useful as we go along.

A note for today -
Be thankful for whatever you are able to practice,
Be grateful for even the smallest space and time to practice,
And feel honoured when someone shares practice with you (especially if they have 4 legs) 🙏🧘‍♀️🧡🖤

Have you tried my friend and namesake’s classes and workshops at Turtle Yoga?

Based in north Halifax, it’s a bit further away for some of my yogis but if you can’t commit to a regular class, why not give one of the one off workshops a try!?

Something I was keen to get going this year, a focus on Perimenopause and Menopause!
I’m not able to run my classes yet, but in the meantime, if this is something you’re contending with, get booked on to Helen’s workshop in September!

Helen's Sketches

MEMORIES, KEEPSAKES & GIFTS

Drawings make really unique and special gifts or keepsakes.

Whether it’s for yourself or for a loved one, I can create a portrait to treasure, from one of your favourite photos.

Portraits can be human or animal, of one face or two, or possibly more. Just ask and we can discuss.

Portraits start from just £20 plus p&p.

Please get in touch and I’d be happy to draw something special for you.

Little quotes keep popping up for me and I’m finding them spookily relevant.
I love this one…thought I’d share.

This is a cause now very close to my heart, as you may know.
If you are able to support in anyway, not just donating money, but maybe time, or a walk with me, I would be very grateful.

❤️🙏

Unfortunately there will be no yoga classes running this January due to circumstances out of my control. I will keep you updated.
