Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Bliss Yoga Norwich



Ahh What super lovely classes we closed 2013 with at Bliss Yoga.  During our Catton class this week we practiced a calming breath awareness, something a little different with chair Yoga and closing the final class of the year with an extended relaxation and Yoga Nidra to help restore and re-energise during what can be a very busy time for many.  We then had our annual Christmas lunch at the Woodman, Jai and Aylah guests of honour!

Our Pregnancy Yoga class was just perfect for recharging you beautiful mamas, especially after hearing your tales of weary legs and achy backs after your afternoons of Christmas shopping.  We worked in partners and practicing supported stretches, massage techniques and a relaxation/visualisation.

Christmas is for many is a stressful time. During this festive period it can be especially important to take time for yourself.  This truly helps balance out the madness that can ensue around Christmas.   Running around attending Christmas functions, shopping for presents, cooking, family visits, and that is all before we get to Christmas day!!  STOP!  Take time to breathe!  Be present and enjoy this time of joy – whatever Christmas means to you.  

Whether you are able to have a regular time (eg. when you wake in the morning) or if it is just when you remember, take a moment or two, close your eyes, place your hands on your belly and breathe deeply into your belly inflating your belly into your hands.... Before you open your eyes think about something you are grateful for ( a wonderful attitude,  when there is so much excess this time of year).  This is a fabulous way to realise all the wonderful things that you already have in your life and helps bring more energy and abundance in your life.

In the New Year we will be thinking about letting go of those things that no longer serve us and to introduce our Sankalpha , positive statement, resolution for 2014.
