In this episode I talk about establishing a self-care practice and why it is important to have one. Life is always getting busy and it is easy to overlook prioritising things that nurture and support us as we scramble to keep up with the things to do list. Too often those self-care practices that are essential for keeping us performing at our best slip to the bottom of the list. Or worse, they fall off the list altogether as guilt at doing things for ourselves takes the driver's seat in our brains. The more this happens the more run down we become. There are many benefits that come from building a sustainable self-care practice. From preventing burnout, increasing productivity to fighting off illness, there are lots of reasons to introduce more nurturing activities into your life. Listen in as I share tips on establishing a practice that works for you and your lifestyle.

Starting (or rekindling) a home yoga and meditation practice can feel overwhelming. It can be difficult to know what to do when you do make it on the mat and challenging to find the motivation to stick with it. Carol from Seeds of Wonder shares her tips and thoughts on developing and setting up a home practice that will work around your life – whether you want to practice every day or once or twice a week.

In this episode I talk with Tracey Francis from Essential Olie about using essential oils in our yoga and meditation practice. Just like yoga, essential oils help to enhance our wellbeing and the two blend together beautifully. Not only can essential oils help us to deepen our yoga and meditation practice, they can help us live our yoga off the mat by supporting us to practice yogic principles such as Ahisma (non-violence) and Saucha (cleanliness/purity). Intrigued? Listen in to find out more! As well as discussing different oils to try out, Tracey also shares her thoughts on the essential oils we can use to help balance our chakras, and practical tips to using essential oils in our own homes. If you are inspired to try out essential oils yourself after this episode you can find lots of free recipes and blends on Tracey’s website https://essentialolie.com.au/recipes/

This episode is a recorded conversation between myself and Barbara Courtille of Yoginithreads. Barbara is Sydney based yoga teacher and lifelong yoga student. Stumbling onto yoga and meditation in the ‘80s before it became fashionable, we hear about Barbara’s first yoga experience (hint, it wasn’t good!), how meditation found her and Barbara’s journey to becoming a yoga teacher. We also talk about yoga in the time of COVID-19 and learn a few tips to help set up a home practice that actually sticks. If you are inspired to get on your mat after this episode you can catch her free yoga videos on her Yoginithreads You Tube channel or on her website https://yoginithreads.com.
