I’m in love—and it started many years ago.
📍 Doha airport hotel.
🌊 Malibu Beach, Xmas 2015.
🧘‍♀️ Kundalini under stars in Auckland.
🛏 Supported fish pose.
🌬 Box breathing.
🕯 Yin style.
💡 Biggest lesson? It’s not about the asana.

It’s Yoga.

A lifelong teacher. A reset button. A way of life.
Off the mat. Into real life. Breath by breath.

This I’m honouring the practice that’s helped me hear myself again and again.

💭 What’s been calling your attention this week?

Drop a word or phrase—we can reflect together.

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸  

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 are our Allies for positive 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲. 

Each week you can expect to see a new “Dare” to pull you out of your comfort zone, improve your range, and increase your flexibility muscles. 

𝘛𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬: 
This week we are exploring 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮.

For a good rest, it’s important to signal to our body that we are transitioning from an active state, to a state of rest.

One way of switching on our parasympathetic nervous system is through restorative yoga.

The pose I would like to introduce to you is called “𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭” or “𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘭” pose. Please refer to the visual.

𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴:
1. Choose comfortable clothes. You can be in your pyjamas for this one.
2. Find a wall.
3. Edge your bum-bum as close as you can to the wall. This could take a bit of shimmying. I find that sitting with your hip flush against the wall first could be a good way to get close to the wall.
4. Put your legs straight up against the wall. In this position you should feel completely comfortable. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, please come out of the pose slowly.
5. Your arms can be outstretched in a T position or you can put one hand on your heart and the other hand on your tummy.
6. Stay in this position for as long as you want, anything between 2m and 20m. If you experience any tingling or numbness it’s your sign for coming out of the pose.

🚨𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴🚨
1. Please avoid jerky movements for elevating your legs and when you come out of the pose.
2. If you have any medical conditions such as hernia, hypertension or glaucoma, please avoid practicing this pose.

LOOKING TO INTERVIEW 💃FEMALE FINANCE LEADERS🫡.

I am designing a special burnout prevention coaching program and am looking to speak to Female Finance leaders. Numbers💸 does not lie, as we say in the finance world. With statistics 🧮indicating a huge surge in people identifying with burnout symptoms in recent years, I believe it is not a “nice to have” but rather a vital necessity. Let’s learn how to put our oxygen masks ✈️on first so that we can lead our teams with confidence and keep on reporting and delivering.

Please reach out to me for a confidential chat so that I can crystallise this important program. Please share widely.
