Finding freedom
in and through the body
Living life from the head or the body?
Life is often tough, in a way that we might have expected and that can be as simple as having to move too fast through our day, do too much and all while holding it together. And yet, maybe it doesn’t have to be that way, maybe we have more choice than we know. We still have to get things done for sure but maybe how we are as we do them can be different. And just maybe, being alive can be much more pleasurable than it feels right now.
How are you living life at the moment?
If your mind feels fast and cluttered, and the idea of truly ‘being present’ feels out of reach, or if you simply want to slow down enough to notice the roses so that you can remember to stop and smell them, then this might be just what you need.
Or maybe you are over-stretched, exhausted, sucked dry and need to find a way to resource and recharge and somehow begin to build that into your life or at least see that it’s possible.
Or maybe you are always trying so hard all the time that it feels like there’s no other way and you’re craving a break, craving space from it all. And perhaps that’s the distance you need to see that there may be another way.
How I got here
I know because I have been there. There was all this talk about being present but I did not really understanding what it meant, or more importantly, how it feelt to be present. I was just trying to survive, to be there for my kids and do my best to eat healthy meals.
Following a friends advise of ‘you should try yoga’ led me down a road, that has brought me here. For more details on my journey read here. So now I have spent over 10 years exploring these forms of movement in great details because for me, it is pure pleasure and I believe we need more pleasure and ease in life. The result of having access to presence, to myself and to beautiful connection with life around me was a surprising bonus and one I do not wish to live without.
Who I help
Mostly I help mothers who are living in an anxious state, a contant level of stress and who have had enough of it. Who feel like they won’t survive any longer unless something changes.
Mothers who feel like the life has been sucked out of them, that they are empty and there is nothing left to give. That everything is being taken and there is no refilling.
Mothers who are running on fumes, suffocating under the weight of it all, who are barely functioning, just about able to get dinner on the table. “If there is one more thing added to my plate, I will crumble.”
“The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.”
Upcoming workshops
This new workshop is on Friday and Saturday the 14th and 15th on Nov in Rathnew.
We will discover the pelvic floor in its entirety, sense it, strengthen it, release it and activate it and the muscles that work with it, in this intelligent co-ordinated system. As always this will be a nervous system reset, full of ease and comfort, respecting our limits and needs and stepping out of the busy-ness of our day-to-day lives to tune into ourselves, resource ourselves and integrate this so there is real change (if that's what you are looking for).
For men and women alike, the Pelvic Floor is so important and contrary to common theory, it is not always about strengthening it. More people have an over tight pelvic floor and therefore, releasing it is the problem. And muscles that are over tight, as you can imagine, have less ability to contract and release, less control, which is what they need to do to be functioning well. The PF muscle responds to stress by contracting and is responsible for so much more than peeing. It is crucial in our stability and balance and much more. So if you need to work with your pelvic floor or if you could do with spending time in a nurturing environment, restoring and resourcing, this might be a fit for you.
Friday the 14th Nov, 6.30 to 9pm and Saturday the 15th, 10.30am until 5pm.
The venue is Our Space, Rathnew
The cost is €120, booking deposit 35
