Sonshine Hollistic

When was the last time someone did something beautifully kind for you?

These two photos show gifts that two of my gorgeous yogis gave me during difficult times.
They were both so personal and thoughtful and arrived at just the right time for me.

I’ve still not fully decided on a name for my beautiful bear who will live in The Snug so if you have any ideas please post them below. We already have a yogi bear at the studio so that one’s taken.

Massive congratulations to the lovely Tracy (Tracy Campbell ) who just graduated as a level 1 sound practitioner 👏🤩🥰

We are delighted to offer an afternoon with one of our very favourite yogis, Claire Chant!

AUTUMN WITHIN
A afternoon of grounding, letting go and coming home to yourself.

Somatic Hatha | Yin Yoga | Breathwork | Yoga Nidra

Sunday 4 October
2pm - 5pm at the Sunshine Studio, Barden House
£45 | Early Bird Discount available until August 31st £40.

HOW we practise yoga is more important than WHAT we practise.

As nature begins to turn inward, Autumn Within offers you a chance to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with yourself.

Through mindful movement, somatic exploration, yin yoga, breath work and meditation, we will explore the qualities of grounding, letting go, awareness and inner stillness. This is an inward practice. We are not using the body to achieve a pose; instead, we use the pose as an invitation to come more deeply into the body.

No previous experience necessary. All levels welcome. Come exactly as you are.

🥰🍂🍃🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🌳

Following last weeks trip to the Sunflowers I taught a class based on heliotropism, the movement of young sunflowers from east to west as they follow the sun.

I couldn’t resist this before and after visual that jumped into my mind when tending to my flowers from last week. I reckon we could all relate to the exhausted looking version from time to time. But thankfully I can vouch for my yogis leaving class looking like the after pic.

Ruth from Alzheimer’s Scotland was completely on brand today when she arrived at class. Had to get a photo! 🧡💖💛

This week I was inspired to plan classes around finding the beauty in the ordinary & a trip to the Sunflower Farm at Balgone was a perfect way to round off my day yesterday. 🌻

Sometimes in yoga class we’re striving for the trickiest pose, the longest hold or the most sun salutations but what we should be aiming for is stillness and presence. For it is here that we can appreciate the beauty of a seed or the wonder of a doorway. 🚪

Our drive home from Balgone was filled with the silliest car game where we challenged each other to find the beauty in the most basic of things! 🚙

So your challenge should you choose to accept it… 🕵️

What is the beauty in a piece of paper …

There’s no right or wrong answers here but I would LOVE to see your thoughts! 💭

Here's a wee chance to have some sound healing before Ruth heads off on holiday later in August....

Friday 14 August
7-8pm
at the Sonshine Studio, Barden House

Wave that red umbrella like a crazy person ⛱️

If ever you were told you were too “anything”: too much, too sensitive, too loud or even too quiet, consider that instead of taking in someone’s opinion as truth, let’s flip the script. What if that very quality was not a “flaw” but a superpower?

Be proud that you were created with a particular spark, and unique characteristics. These are how your people will find you. Don’t dull down who you are. “Your personality has a purpose.”

Drop some 💖💖💖 if you agree.
