Do you have a favourite quote or something that inspires you? Quote of the day from my yoga class: “You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this away from you, and it will always be there.” Ram Das (American spiritual teacher, psychologist & author of “Be Here Now”)

Mine changes daily. I love inversions and twists. Hip openers and arm balances I find easy to hold, but don’t always naturally breath deeply in them. Forward folds may feel friendly some days and a struggle others, depending on what exercise I have done that week... Today I probably favour shoulder stand. Changing my perspective on the world and enjoying the freedom of being upside down as my mind is nourished with fresh blood, and my shoulders stretched during this deep but uplifting pose.
