There is no success where there\u2019s no happiness.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how you got into yoga, meditation, mindfulness and movement practices. But my main reason was that it was such a breath of fresh air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

School years had made me feel that moving was PE which was just a bit of a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Failure to get into teams, to pass the ball, to get the rules of the game, freezing cold pitches and bullying teachers \u2013 I don\u2019t think that I\u2019m alone in finding my early years of movement scarring.<\/p>\n

So at the age of 18 when I discovered yoga, that you could move just for the hell of it<\/strong>, and it made you feel just amazing, it was a bit of a revelation!!<\/h3>\n

And as I grew up, and life presented various challenges, I realised that yoga was a very important tool in my toolkit for dealing with both physical and mental\u00a0challenges in life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So when my husband left me very suddenly, my mat offered amazing solace.<\/p>\n

Just moving slowly and gently seemed to start to heal my spirit.<\/strong> It\u2019s at times when we are having a spiritual breakdown, or just feeling upset or sometimes we\u2019re feeling down for no particular reason.<\/p>\n

At these times, yoga, mindfulness, meditation and movement, can be of amazing comfort. It has been to me.<\/h3>\n

World Mental Health Day<\/strong> is observed on 10 October every year, with the aim of raising awareness of mental health issues and encouraging efforts to support\u00a0better mental health.<\/p>\n

I am delighted that issues of mental health are being taken more seriously by society as a whole. If we\u2019re not happy, what are we, after all?<\/p>\n

There is no success where there\u2019s no happiness. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I hope you\u2019ve found that you can search by emotions on the site \u2013 Move into Happiness<\/strong><\/a>, Calm<\/strong><\/a> and Confidence<\/strong><\/a> and away from Heartbreak<\/strong><\/a> and Anger<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I do hope that you\u2019ve explored these and that our classes serve as an inspiration to darken any cloudy moments and bring joy to your life.<\/p>\n

As ever, let us know how you get along on the\u00a0Movers Group<\/a>.<\/strong>
\nWith love<\/p>\n
