Date Recorded: 15/10/2020
After the weight bearing of arm balances last week we are giving our wrists a rest this week by playing with standing balances instead! Practising our physical balance is important to maintain strength in our legs and core, which helps us move efficiently and prevents the risk of injuries from falling (especially in later life). And the effort and concentration needed to sustain balance is often a great distraction from the mental chatter! Balancing is important off our mat too; maintaining a balance in all facets of our life promotes better health and wellbeing. Too much work can leave us feeling stressed and burned out; taking time to rest and do activities that we enjoy such as yoga, reading, listening to music, cooking, walking in nature, catching up with family and friends(insert your favourite pastime!) can all help keep us grounded and supported. Often we feel that life doesn't allow us the time to refill our cup and at these times it's most important to shift our priorities and carve out the time for self-care as this is when we need it the most. Self-care isn't selfish; you deserve to enjoy life and you have the power and control to make the choice to put yourself first so you can be fully charged to face life with a sense of ease and calm and with a big smile 🙂 Make sure you take some me-time today x
