Gentle Yoga with Joanita for the Front Line heros

The Art of Gentle practice – The New Modern Yoga

Joanita will be holding a stunning class for all of our front line workers on Sunday the 19th at 1pm. She is looking forward to creating the perfect class for you to help you settle into yourself again. We are taking names now.

The journey of each yogi into yoga begins for is very special. For many, yoga provides that relief from physical, mental, emotional pain or otherwise.

I am a very long-time yoga practioner and was trained by some of Ireland most senior Yoga teachers. My ultimate yoga journey always leads me to create a yoga practice accessible to anyone, regardless of age. That is why I have introduced that most popular class at the studio called the Art of Gentle Practice. It is New, it is Modern and it has allowed the most insecure individual to walk into that class and be at ease with his/her own practice.

Full Moon Ritual The next full moon is on the 28th

Full Moon Ritual
The next full moon is on the 28th of January and now is the perfect time to gather your supplies to make sure you receive them in time.
Below you will find a very simple ritual to use with your sage and palo Santo.
🙏

The full moon is a perfect time to let thoughts and feelings go from your life that you no longer need, as it symbolizes a new phase in the world.

When doing a full Moon ritual, you will need very simple tools, your sage and or palo santo wood, your shell and stand, a bowl of water, a candle and three pieces of blank paper to write down three things you want to let go of.

Make sure you are doing this in a comfortable space and somewhere that is safe to burn your sage or palo santo wood. Remember to open the window in the room you are in, so the negative can leave your home.

Write down 1 thing you want to let go of on each piece of paper and fold them up.

Light your candle and place beside the bowl of water.

Choose 1 piece of paper at a time and set your intention to let this go from your life, take a deep breath and light it from the candle, then place in the water.

Do this for each thing you want to let go of and each time setting your intention.

Once all three things have been released from their hold on you, light your sage and smudge your head and heart and direct it out the window.

This is such a simple technique that you can do anytime you feel a little overwhelmed.

*******link in blog section in bio*** For as long

*******link in blog section in bio***
For as long as I can remember, my mother always had a bottle of essential oils ready for nearly all of our minor ailments when growing up.
When it came to exam times, interviews even the debs, mam would just pop into her wooden box of magic and make up blends that we could apply to our pulse points or even to our clothes. Our house always smelled safe.
Some of these blends even today remind of feeling safe and secure rather than the stress I was going through at the time of applying them.
Aromatherapy is the practice of inhaling the scent of essential oils to improve your mental and physical well-being.
One theory of how they work is that by stimulating the smell receptors in your nose, they can send messages to your nervous system. They are also thought to have a subtle effect on the body’s chemical and energy systems. Because of this, aromatherapy is often used as a natural remedy to relieve anxiety and stress.
Essential oils must be diluted with a carrier oil before they’re applied to the skin. This reduces your risk of irritation. For adults, every 15 drops of essential oil should be diluted with 1 ounce of carrier oil. For children, the ratio is 3 to 6 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of carrier oil. Some popular carrier oils are almond, coconut, and jojoba.
Essential oils should never be ingested, despite claims on the internet that suggest otherwise. There’s not enough research on any one essential oil to prove it’s safe to swallow. Each essential oil is very different, and some are toxic.

Welcome to the fourth installment of the ‘Self C

Welcome to the fourth installment of the ‘Self Care is in your hands’. Now available over on my IGTV or link is in the Bio

This video will show you how to use hand reflexology points to help with Migraines and headaches. We all know that the route cause of migraines can differ greatly from person to person and the symptoms can be mild to severe. These points are all about maintenance, keeping the muscles loose around the head and neck, working on your stress levels and just learning to connect back into your body and breathe.

I do recommend that you work these points along with the stress points and spine moves at least once a day if you are prone to migraines.

Remember if you are pregnant you CANNOT work the downward release point in this video.

I hope you get something from this installment and the next issue will be about healthy reproductive system.
Just comment below and let me know how you got on or if you have any questions.

I booked in with Hilary for a full body massage. I’ve had a lot of massages over the years and Hilary is by far and away the best I’ve been too. It really felt like she was so in tune with what my body needed. I walked out of there feeling so relaxed and free of a lot of the tension I was carrying in my back, in particular. Amazing experience – I’ll be booking in again in the next few weeks.read more

Last week I attended hospital because I could not hear. I had fluid in my inner ears which would take several weeks to improve. LMD is a gentle massage treatment which involved Aideen applying a soft touch to my face and my ears in a gentle manner. I could feel something shifting on that first treatment. The next morning when I woke up, I was amazed to see all around my eyes and nose was physically different. I knew that the congestion had shifted and warranted a second treatment. Another positive effect of the treatment was the improvement in my sense of smell. I have had sinus problems, as long as I can remember and have been attending doctors for years looking for a solution. Wen I initially met Aideen, I was intrigued regarding her treatment and instinctively knew that I would be attending her. The importance of connections and being part of a network was invaluable in my recovery. Visiting Aideen was the best thing I have ever done. Just over a week since the doctor told me it would take weeks I have my hearing back again. Alternative therapies can complement traditional medicine. Traditional medicine offered me time and patience, Aideen provided me with a solution. If you have sinus or ear problems, do not hesitate to contact Aideen Schweppe.read more
