A Conversation With Toni Jones About Reading as Self Care

5 Minutes of Super Cozy Bed Yoga

Some days you need a bit of motivation in the morning, and sometimes you need to stay in bed. This session is perfect for both of those times. Just a very simple but very effective stretch of the whole body that you can do from bed. I hope you enjoy it!! I few of you were saying that you’d lost your mojo and you needed a bit of a loving kick in the bum to reset yourself. Well your wish is my command, every day this week (starting from tomorrow) I am going to be sending you the relaxation reset to get you back in the habit (or start one) of doing a short meditation every day. The sessions are around 7 minutes long so perfect to fit into your day and we will be focusing on affirmation meditation which is the most powerful and life changing form of meditation. So look out for that email tomorrow. This is a public episode.

A 10 Minute Mini Retreat Relaxation - Let's go to Greece!

Hey, I’m back from our retreat at Vericoco, Kefalonia Greece, and of course it’s raining here in the UK. We had such a wonderful time, laughing, relaxing, making new friends and taking time to step away from the world and be. So I thought it would be lovely to take a little slice of that so we can visit it any time. I really wish I could have packed you all into my suitcase so we could all have gone, but this is the next best thing. Sending lots of love and I hope you enjoy! Jo xx This is a public episode.

Hand Strengthening Exercises

Did you know that our grip strength is one of the most reliable predictors of how long and how well you’ll live? Research consistently links stronger grip to lower all-cause mortality — it’s one of the simplest measures of overall health we have. And the good news? You can work on it from your sofa with a tennis ball. This short hand strengthening class takes you through a series of ball squeezes, pinch grips across every finger, and some gentle rolling and throwing work for dexterity. Grab a squishy ball if you’ve got one, a tennis ball if not, and let’s get to it. Please note: this is a general strengthening class. If you’re managing any pain or a flare-up in your hands, check with your healthcare provider before starting. This is a public episode.
