Mental Health Awareness Week 

As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, I thought I let you know its not gone unnoticed by me. I hadn't set aside any time to create a post about it, but I am acutely aware of the importance of mental health awareness to all of us. We all have a Mental Health and it is equally as important as our physical health, and I would argue our spiritual health too. However, in modern life we tend to prioritise outward achievements and objects over our inner wellbeing. 

When we seek to gain wisdom rather than wealth in our lifetime we become richer humans. It is in the quality of our relationships that we leave the world a better place, not the objects we leave behind. I am an big believer that the most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves, when we begin here with kindness and curiosity all our relationships benefit more.  

Perinatal Mental Health is a specific area I care a lot for and I help raises awareness of in my Pre & Postnatal classes. From my own experience it can be a hugely challenging and rocky time, especially in modern life where the support networks, community and knowledge has diminished for new-mothers. The wonderful things there is growing awareness and I love to foster this in the work I do. 

I am currently completing my training in Yoga for Mental Health and I am very much looking forward to sharing this with you and integrating into my teaching.
