16/10/2023 0 Comments Time to Pause...World MenoPause Day.Did you know that from 35 years old your female hormones already naturally start to shift… estrogen in particular, the hormone boldly responsible for much of your femininity, starts to ease off… literally over the next 10 or so years, estrogen made by your female organs will be replaced by estrogen production by your adrenal glands (responsible also for your stress!).
Many women are confused like I was. Why doesn't my BODY and MIND feel the same as it used to years ago. I’ve not changed my lifestyle, my exercise nor my diet. Why is this happening to me?… Midlife women often feel exhausted from insomnia, frustrated from brain fog, horrified by emotional rollercoasters, sweaty from wild hot flushes and much rounder, even fat. The truth is, the “Meno-PAUSE change” happens over 10+ years, with significant physical, emotional and mental ongoing changes that can be difficult and stressful . I've been speaking with Menopause Yoga experts around the world and here are my top tips. Here’s what you can do if you are one of the lucky ones that is aware! You can PAUSE…. SLOW DOWN…. Develop new toolkits such as mindful meditation, yoga, deep relaxation, self-compassion and connect with like-minded people that care . These are all beneficial practices - you can explore with our Yogarama Retreats community. Gift yourself a morning yoga practice or a weekend away with us to connect with women that laugh (whinge and cry) together and prepare to embrace the M-change. Reset your mind to flow through your second phase of femininity, don't survive instead THRIVE . HOLIDAY or RETREAT? You may be thinking a relaxing holiday is all I need to help me navigate all of my mood swings, body changes and hot flushes of M-change. Don’t get me wrong, I agree a holiday break to chillax is 100% helpful. The truth that a holiday for women like us is not enough to feel well and healthy like we used to.. Research suggests that daily practices such as a self-compassion can help you manage the stress of navigating through the meno-PAUSE with calm, ease and as deep sense of freedom. So that’s why I am inviting you & maybe your bestie to join me on that mat on RETREAT ...a Day, a Weekend or an adventure Week away.

As a mindful meditator, every morning I wake up to practice a nourishing meditation that helps me to feel centred, creative, confident, kind and connected. Essentially I practice a deep relaxation and a chakra balancing meditation for my physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
Too often in my life I have woken up stressed and anxious. Worried about the day ahead and all my responsibilities and struggling to let go of what happened the day before. My meditation is a reset button for me and it works best first thing in the morning. Its scientifically proven that you can train your brain to receive these positive thoughts to set you up for the day ahead to be the best version of yourself. Today was one of those days when not only did I wake up from being physically ill with a stomach bug but also I received a terribly negative phone call 730am giving me one more warning to toe the line or I’m out. I was accused at work of creating a playground for myself.. As I reflected on the word “playground” it made me smile, as I was grateful to express my child-like self, my true creative self, I pondered that the other extreme is a “prison” which is deeply confined and guarded, constrained, and almost punishing. Truly grateful to have an attitude that life is my playground and I’m ready to explore it with a sense of curiousity, fun and joy as we connect in life like busy little ants running around with list of things to do, on a path to achieve our goals Take a moment today to pause, and reflect on whether you live in a playground or a prison. A daily meditation practice can offer a life of calm, clarity and freedom.. This was published in Mental Health Month.

Valentine's day is the time to show a little extra love to the people you care about. Whether you're single or taken, it's important to pamper yourself with the same kind of love and kindness that you'd shower on anyone else. We often forget that the most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves. Valentine Day is about finding guilt-free ways to make “deposits” into yourself to improve your overall well-being, prioritising self-compassion and self-care which have serious benefits for your mental and physical health. Loving yourself makes you feel at your best and really sets the tone for how you allow others to love you. So here are ten top tips for self-love .
