September 2011
Hello fellow Yogi'sWhat a wonderful summer break I have shared with family and friends. I do hope you have had a wonderful break too.
Most of the summer I have been living outside, well spending many days in my lovely little camper van anyway. This has given me the opportunity to really live with nature and the elements. When there is no television, computers or mobile phones it really gives you the opportunity to enjoy the stillness. I have been watching the flow of nature. How blissful to watch the rhythm of the waves, the rise and fall of the tide, the rythm of each day. I have been observing what I enjoy most about my practice and the peace and stillness that comes with that.
The breath is fundamental to a Yoga practice. The breath is the flow of life. Breath is our life force, Prana rides on the breath, Prana is the energy that sustains us on a cellular level. This term we will be looking at how we can open ourselves to the flow of life. We will be focusing on Vinyassa, moving with the breath and how by using repetition we can quite the mind...
I am so excited to be sharing Yoga with you all again.
There are some exciting events coming up:

Synerprotein Are feeling a little run down at the moment? I used an amazing drink during pregnancy and still use now so I thought I would share it with you all. The drink is called Synerprotein. It is a fabulous drink that is designed to give you a powerhouse of nutrition and energy providing a high quality non-genetically modified soya protein supplement which is dairy free, wheat free, yeast free, gluten free and virtually fat free. It is balanced protein supplement providing essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and a great vanilla flavor. It also provides 3g of fiber per serving. SynerProTein also contains the exclusive SynerPro Concentrate, which provides a rich and wholesome base of fruits and cruciferous vegetables with antioxidant benefits. This product is only available to healcare providers including Nutritionists, I can provide this for you for the cost of £15 for a massive 448g pot which lasts for ages. I found it amazing during pregnancy as it gives both you and your baby essential vitamins and minerals and it provides a slow release energy that stops you craving sweet stuff (and therefore filling yourself with empty calories and extra weight that should be avoided during pregnancy). Its also a quick filler if you're busy and miss (or perhaps cannot face due to morning sickness) a meal. It is amazing as a new mum as suddenly you find that you are so absorbed in your new little wonder that you have managed to forget lunch. It is so important that you look after yourself so that you can look after your baby and I found this really helped me to stay nourished. I still use it as I am always zooming around and have it in addition to breakfast and it really gives me the energy I need as a busy mum. Please let me know if you are interested and I will place an order for you.
Much love to you all and I look forward to seeing you all soon xxx
