The Art Of Radiant Aging 🌸

I’ve dabbled in Ayurveda for years, which is the “sister science” of yoga. After my trip to India in January, where I spent time in the “ayurvedic capital” Kerala, and a recent health scare, I’ve returned to studying Ayurveda with a deep devotion and reverence for its wisdom and healing intelligence.

Ayurveda offers a map for living in harmony with our changing bodies. It reminds us that we don’t have to deplete ourselves with strain or heat - but instead cultivate ojas, the subtle energy of vitality or the nectar of wholeness and integrity.

Ojas is what gives us our radiance, resilience, and juiciness. It’s built through nourishment, loving routines, and living in rhythm with nature…..

The Difference Between a Yoga Class and a Stretch Class

At first glance and especially as yoga has become more westernised, yoga and stretching can seem like they are the same thing, but the intentions and outcomes are actually very different.

A stretch class is designed to improve flexibility, mobility and posture.

It is an external practice focused on the body as an object and a desired outcome.

A yoga class extends far beyond the physical body, it is designed to nourish our whole being.

It is an internal practice that works on the whole system - body, mind, emotional well-being and nervous system regulation…….

Exhausterwhelmulated - It's All Too Much

I recently came across the word “exhausterwhelmulated” - a mash-up of exhausted, overwhelmed and overstimulated - and I thought, Yes, that’s how so many people are feeling right now.

I totally get it. That was me once. (But not anymore.)

The Myth of the Yoga Body

I hear it again and again, “I’m not flexible enough to do yoga”, “I’m too old”, “I don’t have an athletic body”, "I’m inexperienced!"

Yoga, in our western culture, has become highly influenced by the impossible ideals of the fashion industry and consumerism.

Yoga, Body Image, and our Daughters

I see it in women of every age, my 16-year-old daughter and her friends, some of my clients and some of my own friends. It’s the ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality; the validation of ourselves from the outside in, and it’s a social and cultural issue that we need to change.

Consistent Self Care versus Emergency Self Care

I see it time and time again , women that have pushed themselves to the brink. Most of these women's lives have come to a screeching halt because they are exhausted, sick and disconnected from themselves and their own needs.

I liken it to an energetic pendulum that swings from one extreme to another, kind of like feast or famine - one month full of energy and productivity and the next month heading towards exhaustion, overwhelm and burn-out. It is usually dramatic and unexpected.
