Today has been World Mental Health Day.

Here are a few things you can do to help your mental health and well being this week:

💖 Connect with friends and family – good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing. Sometimes that means switching off from social media too. Why not pick a 'screen free' day this week and disconnect from the devices?

đź’– Move the body - we know that physical activity can improve your mental wellbeing by raising your self-esteem, helping you to set goals and by causing chemical changes in your brain which help to positively change your mood. Come and join me for a yoga class online!

Relaxation Yoga is on Mondays 8-9pm and Wednesdays 7.30-8.30pm. Open to beginners and everyone welcome! ÂŁ5 per session Pay As Yoga go. Book online at https://www.energiseyoga.co.uk/book-online

💖 Acts of kindness– acts of giving and kindness can help improve your mental wellbeing by creating positive feelings and help you connect with other people. Do one thing this week to be kind to someone and show them you care! Maybe that's calling, sending a card or arranging to catch up.

đź’– Read and learn - broadening my understanding of mental and physical health through podcasts and books has helped me to understand more about my well being. Check out Feel Better, Live more at: https://open.spotify.com/show/6NyPQfcSR9nj0DPDr2ixrK

đź’– Do not be afraid to ask for help, to speak up to talk about mental health. It's part of our overall wellbeing, there should be no stigma, no judgement attached.

We need to normalise mental health so it's part of our everyday.

Meet Jacqueline 

"There was a time when I looked like I was holding everything together on the outside but on the inside I felt exhausted, disconnected and lost. 

​

I had spent so long looking after other people, striving, meeting expectations and pushing through that I had lost touch with myself. 

​

My confidence had faided and I had forgotten who I was underneath it all. 

​

What I discovered changed everything.

​

The answer wasn't to work harder or become a different person. It was learning to connect with myself- my values, my strengths, my desires and the wisdom of my own body. 

​

I'm Dr Jacqueline Lavallee, a Health Psychologist andTransformational Coach. I support people to rediscover what energises them, reconnect with matters most and create a life that feels more aligned, meaningful and alive"

Meet Ruth ...

I'm Ruth, a yoga teacher, physiotherapist with an interest in pelvic health and lover of adventures. 

​

After 10 years of working shifts  in healthcare I was burnt out and anxiety set in.

I knew something had to change. 

​

That's when I turned to yoga- I completed my teacher training in 2019 and qualified in various styles of yoga including pregnancy, yin and restorative. That's when Energise Yoga was born.

 

I discovered how transformative yoga was for my whole life 

​

I'm here to guide you back to your body, to empower you to move in ways that feel good and connect to the wisdom that yoga can teach us. 

​

For me, it's not about fancy leggings or flexibility. It's turning up exactly as you are and welcoming every version of yourself to the mat - past, present and future.
