health in harmony

Back in the mid 1990’s I finally took up yoga, after being interested since my teens. From the very first session I loved it. As a busy Registered Nurse and mum to two youngsters at the time, I found the relaxation I felt by the end of the class to be the highlight of my week. I initially took up the practice as I had a very painful neck following a car accident. Two years of physiotherapy and pain medication had not helped very much, but yoga did. I then moved from Australia back to the UK. Although I loved my nursing work on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, I needed something for me. At that time there were very few yoga classes around, all in gyms and not really offering what I had experienced in my classes in Australia. I embarked on a 2-year yoga teaching training course at the Yoga for Health Foundation (now the Yoga for Health Foundation), enjoying residential training weekends. I loved the way we were taught, with the emphasis on what yoga could do for our health in all respects. This has vastly inspired the way I teach to this day. I feel that my nursing background is a real help in this regard too. I have since completed many yoga trainings, including the British Wheel of Yoga Diploma, and specialised Menopause Yoga training.

chennai taichi

Tai Chi looks like a strange slow motion exercise which is a well choreographed active mind-body exercise practiced in a precise order. It was created-designed as a beautiful soft form of internal martial art and has been accepted and practiced worldwide as an effective relaxation exercise therapy. Tai Chi is one of the most fascinating exercises you can possibly do which increases flexibility, strengthens the legs and loosens the hips, increases spinal flexibility, enhances breathing, stimulates the immune system and offers relaxation at the same time, helping even the most tensed person an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate their body. It’s quiet and concentrated movements help regain mental peace and emotional balance by changing people’s life to the best. Tai Chi is one the most positive life enhancing experiences which can be perfect for any age and can be wonderfully non-competitive that all ages and skill levels can benefit. As you practice Tai Chi daily-slowly you begin to see yourself changing in everyday behavior. It controls and clears unnecessary thoughts and helps us gain control over our emotions. Your focus starts to change and start respecting business ethics and the way you interact with others changes. A sense of closeness develops with everyone you meet. The changes which happen inside us are reflected by our behavior on the outside. Any problem will no longer be viewed that way. You approach your problems with an open mind. You naturally develop into who you really are. Benefits of Tai Chi during learning are patience, acceptance of things as they are, increase in physical, emotional, mental awareness and greater insight. We are immersed in a life style attitude that would stress the immune system, mainly as overwork or a hectic lifestyle schedule, indulging in risky behavior, relationships against our self-esteem. Remember stress can also come from a fragile sense of self worth, feeling powerless against multiple pressures. Tai Chi offers you a lot, much more than one can possibly achieve in a life time. It changes people’s life to the best. Makes us aware of our emotional state and can change it any moment thus keeping our mind clear and focused. If you feel that you need a change - Tai Chi will do it for you. It will give you the ability to realize and explore yourself much deeper.

MY OWN EXPERIENCE SET ME ON THE PATH TO HELP MUMS LIKE YOU TO AVOID THE KIND OF BIRTH I HAD THE FIRST TIME, AND GET THE KIND OF BIRTH I HAD THE SECOND TIMEHi, I am Eleanor and I started out my parenting journey by having a textbook-perfect first pregnancy. I did NCT classes (which were nice but not particularly informative), and like so many people these days found a Hypnobirthing class. the whole calm, relaxed and natural birth totally appealed to me (I mean who doesn’t it appeal to?) and I had been doing yoga for years so perfect fit right? Wrong! Alarm bells should have really rung when in one of the self-hypnosis sessions, I found myself peering through one open eye to see if everyone else had subconsciously lifted up their hand. I am creative and intuitive but I am a practical down-to-earth person at heart, and this self-hypnosis stuff seemed, well, a bit of an unknown quantity. My fantasy home water birth kick-started on Sat 14 November 2008. The first day was all focused breathing, affirmations and deep relaxation (well, as much as you can with full on contractions)! Day 2 was more intensive but the hypnobirthing went right out of the window. The problem is that it just wasn’t ENOUGH. I didn’t actually KNOW WHAT DO when a contraction happened. I literally was tearing my hair out looking at the 1 sheet of paper with some suggestions of birthing positions from the NCT.
