HELLO HOW ARE YOU?!

As we step into the month of August we come into the last month of winter. The last part of this season to embrace retraction and internalisation. With this being said, I’d like to invite you to go a little further, to question who is the authentic you? While you may have a little more time to be slower, with less distraction, maybe take some small moments to further question who your authentic self is and how you want to show up for the rest of the year.

Authenticity is one of my key values within Taylah Jessica Yoga. I am here to create a safe space for you and your yoga practice, no judgement, no rules, just us sharing some time on the mat. I want you to come to your practice just as you are and I want you to be comfortable doing the ‘yoga’ that feels right for you… This could be lying in childs pose for the whole class, maybe taking small breaks over the session, it could be taking a big loud exhale to release or even just shaking or dancing it out, I’m here for it all and I’m also here to learn from you and your needs.

EXPLORING AUTHENTICITY

The funny looking circles you see within my brand… some may call it an egg, others say it’s a weird splodge… however you see it, this is my ‘grounding circle’ and the small centre circle represents authenticity. A small reminder to keep showing up for myself and doing me every single day. So, I invite you this month to consider your authenticity across varying areas of life.

1. Your Authentic Self

2. Your Authentic Body

3. Your Authentic Mind

4. Your Authentic Yoga Practice

There is no right or wrong and I invite you to bring compassion and empathy to yourself whilst you take this time to further explore. You might like to set journal prompts, maybe try a new activity or skill to see what lights you up, it might mean slowing down more to just sit with yourself and your thoughts in stillness. It might mean finding what makes you tick, where your temperament lends itself to, your attachment and how you show up in the world as your unique self. Most of all it’s choosing you, empowering yourself to take personal leadership in your life in all the ups and downs it throws at us.

EXCITING UPCOMING EVENTS

MY TOP 3 FOR THIS PAST MONTH OF JULY…

1. Hosting two amazing retreat groups in Lombok for Sol Surf. Such an inspirational group of guests who I got to share time with both in and out of the water each day. Watching each individual’s journey over the time + seeing their happiness in surfing filled my cup, not to mention enjoying the time in beautiful Lombok with it’s laid-back nature, delicious food and wonderful people.

2. Practising Qi Gong as my form of meditation - loving the way it flows energy out of my body. Finding this more beneficial sometimes than just sitting to meditate as my anxious energy can build up a little in the morning, so this is a great release!!!

3. Getting back to porridge, it’s cozy, it’s warming, always hits the spot and is the winter breakfast icon in my opinion, yummo!

Keen to hear about your ideas, opinions, discoveries and curiosities this month!

Can’t wait to flow with you on the mat soon!

Much Love,
