"Bring your attention to all the sound around you and tune in like it's your favourite record. Pick up sounds in front, behind, above, below and the silences in between the sounds. As soon as you notice that your mind wandered, take the focus back to the sound."

Curtesy of the fabulous Ruby Wax, here is a nice RAIN☔️☔️ exercise to practice for your #mindfulness #mentalhealth ☺️ ....R is for RECOGNITION. Being able to simply identify your thoughts when they happen or are about to is a much harder and more skilful task than we give credit for. Take the credit and recognise your thoughts when they happen. A is for ACCEPTANCE. It's ok to have a variety of thoughts, it's ok to think about how brilliant you are, or how rubbish that assessment was. What isn't ok it to attach emotion, simply accept thoughts for the cognitive impulses that they are. I is for INVESTIGATION. When a thought arises, is there a memory/story/body sensation attached? Be the detective, whatever you discover is OK. Finally N is for NON-IDENTIFICATION. Here is where you get to say "I see you; thoughts, emotions, pain. But I am going to step back today" you can observe the thoughts without getting involved. This is #mindfulness , it is also #yoga / #yogasutras , it is also #buddhism. If you like this, ok. If you don't like this, ok.🙏🏼☔️ #yogatherapy #yogacommunity #backbending #plank #peacefulyogi #practiceyoga #physiotherapy #plankalldaylong #GetYourOMBack #julyyogachallenge #julyyoga #exercise #relaxation #strongmindstrongheart (at Sane New World. 👽)

Some days I find myself a lot more flexible than others, every single time these times crop up I am in a non-judgmental place (against myself), I am happy to be whatever happens on that mat and in that moment. As soon as I feel this, tension releases and potential increases. 🙏🏼❤️ #yoga #yogi #practiceyoga #nojudgementhere #yogi #yogabum #yogagirl #yogaaddict #yogatherapy #Iloveyoga #IGyogacommunity #yogagivesbackchallenge #yogaeverydamnday #asana #bendyyoga #backbending #standingbackbend #strongmindstrongheart #squeezeyourbutt #physio #peacefulyogi #ukyogis #mentalhealth #namaste

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Aristotle. Don't ever take on someone else's thoughts because they told you it "will change your life" or it "will find you peace" or worst of all "it will help you lose weight". You think independently, you love, hate, cry, laugh, consider and critique all by yourself 😘 remember that you are epic 👍🏽🙏🏽 #learntoloveyourself #strongmindstrongheart #ibendsoidontbreak #inversions #inverteveryday #IGyogachallenge #IGyogacommunity #JourneyToHandstand #asana #acroyoga #learntoloveyourself #yoga #yogaaddict #yogaworkout #yogaeverydamnday #flexibility #backbends #scorpionpose #Mindful #nottinghamyoga #namaste (at backbend happy place😳)

Day27 @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga #kapotasana, strengthening the glutes, lower back muscles and stretching the hip flexors makes this turn from an upper back coil...➰😕 to a strong posture 😍💪🏼 #yoga #yogi #yogacommunity #yogagirl #yogaqueen #yogainspiration #yogalife #physio #physiotherapy #yogatherapy #fiziyoga #flexibility #strongmindstrongheart #yogaaddict #IGyogachallenge #IGyogacommunity #yogaeverydamnday #Iloveyoga #ibendsoidontbreak #stretcheverydamnday #yogabum #yogapractice #peacefulyogi #nottinghamyogis #ukyogis #learntoloveyourself #namaste

Thanks @linneaskywalker for the #stopdropandyoga challenge it's my first one! 😎😜 thought I'd go for the 'gentle' forward fold #PrasaritaPadottanasana #wideforwardbend so I would use my bendy back to get me where I wanted to be (as close to the floor as I could be!) annnnd then I'd pull a little more. BAD move on the old back there 😕😖 best way to go about this one is to get to where you are able to, then tilt that pelvis anteriorly, breathe and only then allow the body to bend to the floor-keeping that pelvic tilt and control, you lose that and you lose the hamstring stretch! #asana #analysis #physio #physiotherapy #yoga #yogabum #yogalife #yogaworkout #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #Iloveyoga #instagrams #ibendsoidontbreak #IGyogacommunity #lowerbackstretch #Mindful #nottinghamyogis #dedication #funyoga #fiziyoga #flexibility #forwardfold #exercise #ahimsa

What do you define as strong? Is it a #1repmax? Is it being #successful in work? Is it that elusive #handstandpress? For me, strength is all encompassing, #mind, #body and #soul. It is not giving in to triggers, it is respecting #ahimsa and loving my body even though I don't often want to, and it is taking the time to sit and absorb the world, the present and be thankful 😊 #loveyourworld #peacefulyogi #yoga #yogalife #yogatherapy #yogastrength #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #asana #acroyoga #anorexia #alowypinside #ukyoga #IGyogacommunity #onebreathatatime #learntoloveyourself #Mindful #mentalhealth #meditation #namaste

What I love about #ashtanga is that over regular practice of the series you are currently in, you become the variable, NOT the routine, maybe the environment but almost certainly yourself. You learn to respect your body and work with how it feels second by second, hour by hour, day by day. And almost as soon as you recognise this and accept that this is ok, you develop and move further in your practice 🙏 #yoga #yogi #yogabum #yogagirl #yogalife #yogaaddict #yogatherapy #yogapractice #yogaeverydamnday #Iloveyoga #IGyogacommunity #onebreathatatime #physio #peacefulyogi #analysis #asana #ashtanga #ukyoga #learntoloveyourself #mindfulness #namaste #bendyyogi #flexibility

#Mindful living, it's a great concept and widely used in daily life with #yogis because it is the term to describe taking an objective approach to life. Allowing strong emotions and interactions to come into our lives without feeling that we have to grasp onto them and make them define who we are. For example being able to work with those who suffer from depression without becoming that way yourself, however also not being heartless to that person. It is a fantastic technique to use when approaching physical limitations in #asana. You look at the posture from an objective point of view, you accept there is a limitation, and you say THAT'S OK! What is difficult about #mindfulness though is when you try to use it if you are still within the haze of a strong experience, such as #depression, #anorexia, #OCD . trying to be objective with your emotions when they are very raw and new to you is like trying to be a manager of a company you know nothing of. Don't be hard on yourself, just know that when you are ready, change will come 🙏💜 #mentalhealth (at Nowhere and everywhere)

Well that felt amazing..🎉😁 funny how something so intense and #inverted cleared my sinusy headache (took 5 to do it...now whether that is the heat expanding my tissues and reliving nasal pressure we do not know...I vote yoga 😉) #yoga #yogi #yogagirl #yogaaddict #yogatherapy #yogapractice #simplestrength #stretcheveryday #strongnotskinny #shoulderstrength #strongandbendy #ukyoga #onebreathatatime #namaste #asana #acroyoga (at backbend avenue 😜)
