What does it take to join the teaching team here at MFML? A very special commitment to teaching is the main thing, usually backed up with a fondness for PJs! \u00a0Find out how our latest recruit, \u00a0Jonelle Lewis, fits the bill perfectly…<\/h3>\n

\"Jonelle\"<\/p>\n

MFML: Hi Jonelle! Tell us your daily move! What do you do every day to keep moving?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: I do a bit of Qi Gong everyday. Its easy to do and great for the joints. I love doing twists as it is a good way to open up the whole spine and also open hips depending what form you do.\u00a0 My favourite twist is called cattail; I learned it on my Yin Yoga teacher training<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: Daily ingredient? Five minutes each day \u2013 what to do for you?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Chanting, pranayama & meditation every day.\u00a0 Ideally for 30-40 mins but some days I only have\u00a0 5-10 mins<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: How did you fall in love with yoga?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: I went to a Jivamukti class in this studio in South London.\u00a0 Previously I’d done bits of Hatha, Ashtanga and Bikram.\u00a0 When we did the opening chanting my heart felt like it would exploded.\u00a0 During the flow I felt such a sense of expansiveness and true power. I literally fell head over heels in love with yoga that day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: What’s your top tip for creating a habit?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Start where you are.\u00a0 Remember the only perfect time is the time you begin. Do it EVERYDAY even if it is only for a small amount of time.\u00a0 Be kind to yourself when things don’t happen or get done and move forward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Jonelle\"<\/p>\n

MFML: What motivates you to move more?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Movement is intrinsic to us as humans.\u00a0 Moving more means I am more myself, more human.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: If you weren\u2019t a yoga teacher what would you like to be?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: I’d like to be a florist or candlemaker.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: What do you wear when you practice at home?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Omg my pyjamas….Lol! Nothing fancy ever….My home practice is not glamorous at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: Asana of today and why?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: I love side bends so I love doing exalted\/reverse warrior or high lunge in a side bendy way.\u00a0 I am obsessed with mobility in the side body as it feeds into space in the thoracic spine where I don’t have a lot of movement.\u00a0 Also I read somewhere the side body is where we start to lose mobility first as we age.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: In Tweet length why you practice?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: I practice out out of love for myself, to connect to the nature reality and to be of service to all beings<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: What is your essential yoga accessory and where did you get\u00a0yours?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: My breath is my essential accessory…seriously it is.\u00a0 Sometimes we can get way too hung up on external factors and that can get in the way of practice.\u00a0 As long as we have our breath we truly have what is essential for practice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Jonelle\"<\/p>\n

MFML: Places to practice \u2013 your top five places you have or would?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: India, Bali, Morocco, Maldives, Mexico (have);\u00a0South Africa, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Iceland, Mozambique (would)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: What’s the last book you read?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Yor\u00f9b\u00e1 Culture: A Philosophical Account<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: Tell us someone\u00a0whose life perspective you admire?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Oprah Winfrey<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MFML: What’s been your soundtrack this month?<\/h5>\n
\n

Jonelle: Always hip hop, r n b, afrobeats & dancehall in rotation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
