How are you in the morning? Are you a natural morning person or like me does your inner bear feel the pull of hibernation in the AM? Fear not, there are tools that you can use to effectively hone your mind and body for whatever the day throws at you. Through simple practices of movement and breathing you can tap clear your mental space and feel welcome and enthusiasm for the morning!!! Just like that!! Focus, clarity, ease in the whole body as you prepare it for a hard day at work. Even on my foggiest mornings a simple routine of movement, breathing and meditation helps me to become clearer in my thinking, calmer in the face of challenges through the day and maintains space between occurences and reaction. The movement practices also helps to strengthen backs, ease shoulders and necks and prepare the whole body and mind for the day. Routine is key! But at the same time so is the ability to be flexible when the day begins differently....regular practice is what helps you have the roots of a routine but the ability to flow with the day that has been offered to you. Because I find these practices so useful myself in the morning....I am offering 30min classes beginning at 7:15 AM Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Consider it like a pre-match huddle where players (your many components) re-affirm the common aims of the team before bursting apart to get on with the trials and tribulations of the tasks at hand! As it is early in the morning it will be primarily a movement based class with a brief focus and meditation section for the last 5 minutes. Roll out of bed! Hit the Zoom link (pre-booking essential) and Ease into a magnificent day! Join me and find the new morning you!! |
