    How to Stay Sane During the Holidays!

    We talk about the insanity of a morning routine that lasts 3 hours or more (part of the 5 am club), how we need to follow our own navigation and not others, we reflect on what deeper self-care looks like such as setting boundaries, saying no and, having better connections with people, the new things we have been trying in our routine and some we have yet to try such as listening to the sound of bacon which, provides a deeper sleep according to research.  We talk about what else we have discovered in the quest to stay sane, have better sleep and feel good in ourselves during this holiday. Plus a little sleep meditation (yoga nidra) for a little calm and, a guest teacher from Rome, Valeria Arcangeli, telling us what her ideal day of slowing down looks like.

    How to slow down...when working from home

    We talk boundaries, boundaries, saying no, and boundaries...indeed the boundaries of home and work have become as blurred as a steamed-up window! We talk about how to rectify that with many tips and techniques to improve our wellbeing while working from home including;  how to build a pause (whether that's meditation, a breathing exercise or scheduling time to do nothing) eating mindfully, how to bring in peaceful energy before you start working, ways to switch off after a working day and, finding the best place to work whether that's the kitchen, bedroom or car! Plus we have a three-minute pause where we demonstrate the benefits of sighing, which is a natural tranquiliser for the body...a good habit to incorporate into your working day. Maybe not do it on a zoom meeting though!

    How to Master...Slowing Down

    We get really into the nitty-gritty of slowing down and ask important questions such as: Why is it difficult to slow down? Are we still boasting about being busy? What does an ideal day of slowing down look like? and, What can we learn about ourselves from slowing down? We also talk about people who could teach us a thing or two about slowing down like the actress Julie Andrews and potential saviour of the planet, David Attenborough. Plus our words to enlighten comes from one of the presenter's Mum!

    Words to enlighten - The interview (with Emma Epton, Teacher & Co-founder of Yoga Reloaded)

    We talk about being authentic on social media by posting random talking videos, the art of growing in confidence and, why we should give ourselves permission to feel angry, pissed off and even lazy if we want to be and, how the body is always telling us what it wants if only we listened. We also talk about Emma's no bulls@it approach which is reflected not only in her attitude towards social media (dont' expect any posy standing on the edge of a cliff type poses which many yoga teachers like to do on Instagram!) but also in her teacher training program called Yoga Reloaded. It was a thoroughly liberating chatI Emma was interviewed by writer and meditation teacher (and former yoga teacher herself! ), Kym Nelson.
