Wild and Wellbeing Card Deck Launch with Nes and Helen Roscoe

I've returned home to some more colour in the garden, bluebells and dandelions have appeared. We are behind other parts of the country here. In Harrogate where I spent last week, much more of the trees were in leaf than here.

More-than-human beauty can improve our wellbeing.

When planning the Day Retreats, I consider the seven types of rest: sensory, emotional, social, physical, mental, spiritual and creative.

Turning the volume up on the tiny joys. Because of our survival instincts we often remember the tricky or scary moments more than the joyous ones... but I find that if I am really mindful of these, they stick better.

Imagination can cause worry and fear about the future. It can create powerful feelings of panic, fear of abandonment or attack that can make it difficult to assess for danger and safety in the present moment or make informed decisions about the future.

I just added the Yoga page on the website and added these FAQs. I hope they will give you an idea of my yoga approach, what you can expect and a sense of the permissions in group classes and one to one sessions.

Take some time to think of the wild places where you felt the greatest sense of grounding and peace in your life.

My absolute favourite favourite thing learnt from Pavarotti is watching him receive applause. I love it.
