Feelings, thoughts & emotions

Mountains

I’m back in Ireland, having had a wonderful week with my kids. We were so lucky to take some time away, to take in everything mountain energy offers. The quality of air, the nervousness of looking down 1000s of metres, the exhilaration of just going for it, of being brave. The humbling of the ego when your child looks on while you tumble head first into snow.

Then the world felt shattered and felt surreal as I read the papers. All the emotions of joy and fun left me. Trying to unpack those feelings (Feelings, the link between emotion and body and sensations in the body and concepts in the mind) I felt like falling into an abyss. The nervous system is designed to orchestrate all the processi of the body. So what I was feeling was a normal reaction.

We are coming out of one stressful time and it looks like the world is tunnelling into another period of darkness. Kids may be stressed out by all of this, it’s important we respond with information they can process. Teenagers especially will want to know more, they are getting information on social media so we need to have the conversation and be kind to them they are trying to process it and it’s tough.

I hope this quote helps when talking to kids – it reminds me that humans are by nature good and kind. We humans can do terrible things but that there is always hope and so the body and mind can use hope to respond to what’s going on.

Let our choices follow our hopes rather than our fears

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!

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.

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!
