Ever feel like things aren’t going to plan?

I’ll be honest there is alot of stuff going on at the moment. I feel like I’m juggling lots of balls, spinning lots of plates and just hoping it all doesn’t come crashing down. The plan for me in my forties is be wholly present in my marriage, raise my kids, be there for my older kids, be present for my mother and mother in law, stay in touch with friends, keep fit, eat healthy foods, mind my mental health…….you get the idea the list is endless. Ever feel like things aren’t going to plan?

Well I certainly do, quite a lot actually. Being self employed is 2 steps forward, 17 steps back sometimes but you have to keep plodding onwards. I love yoga, I love teaching and I am so damn lucky to be doing something I love. Repeating my mantra; what is for me wont pass me and then figuring out what I need to do to make that happen. Doing the work. Being a mother is 2 steps forward, 1000 steps backwards but you keep at it cos you love them, you protect them, you do everything you can for them and that’s the deal. There is no purer love than a child’s love. Last week I had a wobble, I cried when I didn’t know why I was crying. But that’s good because it’s better out than in (what piece of Shakespeare is that from??). Anyway it felt good and I feel soothed because of it.

So, this week getting my sh*t together, sorting my house out and making sure I am engaging in practices that sustain me. So my yoga practice this week and indeed my teaching will be about self love, self compassion because that’s what needed.

So many of you have joined the October Plank challenge, that has been totally buzzing. I love seeing the messages about how you’re getting on. I can see (yep I look at these things) so many of you doing the recordings, keep me in the loop. What are you loving, what are you hating. Has your concentration improved???

I am listening to Angela Scanlon talking to Rox Purcell, check it out here. Roz is honest about her failures in life, her eating disorder, navigating the world of beauty pageants and seems generally sound. Always worth checking out is Rich Roll, I loved his chat with Jonathan Fields, if you have time (cos he does go on for a while) maybe watch it on Youtube here. It’s lovely though, I especially love the part about finding your spark in your career.

In preparation for the colder weather, and to look after my hands I have pulled out my gloves. Have you come across Paula Rowan’s gloves yet? They are the most beautifully made gloves, I’m lucky to know Paula and she talks so beautifully about the process of design, bringing the design to life and the care in looking after people to enable them to choose the right gloves. Check out her online shop if you fancy covering your hands with care this cold season. https://www.paularowan.com/.

Testimonials

I was so sad and sorry when my last yoga teacher decided to move home to Italy. I thought I would never find a better teacher & then… I found Chris. She delivers a wonderfully unique class which is a marriage of movement and breath. Her class delivers a complete workout for whatever level you’re at, whilst being easy on the body and calming the mind. I look forward to every class and have never felt stronger or better.

Christine conveys an immense passion for yoga. Her energy is palpable. She also has a discerning understanding of how the body works when practicing yoga. I really enjoy her classes which leave me feeling full of positivity!

D. O’Reilly

Christine is a great yoga teacher and I recommend you give her a go.  She is very spiritual but her love of family and her surroundings come through clearly in her teaching - I have wished so many times to be with her in Dublin on the beach, in the studio, in the park! I have loved her classes via Zoom and her early morning Rise and Shine class has been a fantastic start to my day.  She is very knowledgeable and clearly puts a lot into planning each month and each week. Her classes are well prepared and she takes time to explain positions with variations too so that it is suitable for many levels. Having practised with her for 6 months, she keeps her practice interesting with different themes so that no 2 classes are completely the same.  I am loving my yoga journey with her and look forward to it continuing for many years.

N. Roberts

Absolutely love Chris’s yoga classes. It has become a staple part of my week to keep my mind clear and my body right. Chris is a fantastic teacher and I especially enjoy her meditation and reflections during class. Chris herself is such a fantastic person both inside and out and her light is infectious!
