Prepare your body & mind for colder, darker times

I was reading an article during the week about SAD (Seasonal Affective disorder). Some people report craving carbohydrates, feeling lethargic and struggling to get out of bed in the morning. As this happens when light diminishes each year. It begins around now, and if you are are prone to this condition then it’s there until Spring. Quite a long time to live with it each year. Here’s an article from the NHS worth reading. If light and mood are part of a cycle of triggered by seasonal change how can you best Prepare your body & mind for colder, darker times?

There are lots of studies to show that pranayama, yoga, a morning walk can all help with getting your mind in a calm & centred space. Engaging actively in the world with diet, sleep, exercise & social interaction helps to reset your circadian rhythms.

If you wake feeling a bit crap, take a nice long inhale, pause for a moment then exhale for a little bit longer than your inhale. Do this a few times before you rise out of bed. Then place your hands on your heart centre or abdomen and say I love you. It’s a difficult time of year for our bodies to transition from Summer energy to Winter energy, be kind to yourself, be kind to those around you.

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!
