I\u2019m not sure about you, but for me, life can just get so serious!! Let’s take note from the kids and move into playfulness this week!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s serious business running a business, being a mum, a daughter, doing all the roles I\u2019m meant to be doing. Then there\u2019s the planet to save, the right food to eat, the right things to say to not offend.<\/h3>\n

I sometimes just feel that life\u2019s, well, a little serious! And it feels to me like our playtime, which is our daily yoga or mindfulness or conscious breathing, can get a little serious too!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all like to feel a sense of accomplishment in our practice<\/strong>, but perhaps we can get caught up in this search for accomplishment, and that the sense of exploration<\/strong>, of adventuring into different body shapes gets lost in our search for a perfect shape?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breaking the rules<\/h3>\n

Yoga is a beautiful practice because it gives us a lovely structure to our exploration of shapes – but sometimes a structure is wonderful because it gives us the ability to break away. Perhaps we have rules in order to break them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week is half-term for the kids and I\u2019d love us all to harness their sense of playfulness, child-like curiosity in your daily yoga class<\/strong> and in everything you\u2019re up to this week.<\/p>\n

Our playful teachers<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s perhaps no teacher who instills such a sense of playfulness and fun<\/strong> as our Dan Peppiatt<\/strong><\/a>, who manages to teach the serious business of joint mobility in a way that will have you harnessing your playful inner teacher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Naomi<\/strong><\/a>, a teacher\u2019s mentor, is another wise soul who has a sense of rule-breaking to her yoga, movement, meditation and breathing classes. Her breath practice this week is such a deep, beautiful class but brought with a real sense of exploration and joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also introduce Mimi\u2019s third class in yoga to nourish and support series. To me, Mimi<\/strong><\/a> is the epitome of someone who has done the work and is now able to surrender, let go and the rest is play.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps we can harness these amazing teacher\u2019s sense of play this week<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Let me know how you get along with your play in our Movers group<\/strong><\/a>, a group where we all can play, explore and adventure into the serious business of living better, together.<\/p>\n

With love
\nKat and Team MFML
