During this time of year, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of commitments in our social calendar. With so many events it is easy to feel ungrounded and disconnected from your self-care regime.

Here are our top tips that will help you to stay sane during this silly season…

Wake up early – You’ll find that early mornings lead to productive days. Early mornings provide time with fewer distractions to get yourself mentally and physically charged for the day. A morning well spent brings a day of content!
Breathe – Connecting your mind with your breath can increase energy levels, reduce anxiety, promote relaxation and improve mental cognition. A short pranayama practice daily when you wake up can be a game changer to remain grounded during the silly season.
Detox the body – try one of our hot yoga classes or book yourself in for an infrared sauna. These full body detox’ will allow you to release toxins from your body and allow space for releasing anything that no longer serves us.
Meditate – Spend 10 minutes daily focusing on your breathing and maintaining stillness of the mind. Connecting back to the present moment and allowing space in the mind and spirit.
Exercise – Book in for one of our yoga classes or take a long walk in the park. Low intensity exercise is one of the best ways to energise your body and create balance of the mind. Keeping up with regular yoga practice will keep you grounded and centered over this time.
Spend time in nature – Get out into the open air and breathe in the fresh sea breeze. Getting out in nature is known to improve your mood, reduce feelings of stress and ground us to the earth. Get outside Yogi’s & Yogini’s enjoy the summer.
Nourish your body - With lots of events during this season it is easy to over do it with all of the delicious holiday food. Eat mindfully and remember that its’s the holiday season so enjoy your time with family and friends and don’t be too hard on yourself.
Take “me time” daily - schedule some me-time every day to make sure you are honouring yourself and taking care of your needs despite the chaotic schedule around you. Running yourself a bubble bath, listening to your favourite music, booking yourself for a yin class. All amazing activities for the body, mind and soul.
Practice gratitude - Practicing gratitude daily has amazing benefits for our mental, physical , emotional and spiritual health. Keeping a gratitude journal or meditating on things you’re grateful to have in your life is amazing way to centre yourself in the silly season.
