Caught in the rain on my way from the studio — a Caught in the rain on my way from the studio — and what a blessing! 🌧️ 

After days of heat, this little thunderstorm felt like life itself. Water is everything — essential, powerful, beautiful. 

Soaking it in - literally, and reminding myself to enjoy both the rain and the sunshine. 🌦️

See you at the Proms tonight for more music and magic! 🎶☀️⚡

Hey and happy Friday!☀️✨ Here are my Top 5 Hey and happy Friday!☀️✨

Here are my Top 5 Favorites to Stay Hydrated this summer – and I am inviting you to try  them too!

1. Watermelon 🍉 – Over 90% water and full of lycopene – great for skin and inflammation.

2. Cucumber & Celery 🥒 – Both super hydrating. Cucumber is juicy, and celery adds fiber – perfect picnic snack with hummus!

3. Peach 🍑 – Sweet, juicy, and loaded with vitamins C, A, and fiber – great for digestion.

4. Strawberries 🍓 – Antioxidants, vitamin C, water, and fiber – love these homegrown ones!

5. Coconut Water 🥥 – Packed with electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium – a must after being in the sun or exercising. Choose the one without sugar. 

💧 Bonus: Filtered water with fresh mint and cucumber from the garden – keeps me sipping all day long!

What’s your  Summer hydration favorites ? 🌿☀️ 

Happy Hot Summer & Stay cool, hydrated and playful! 😀☀️✨

🧊 Cooling Down Ritual in Just 3 Minutes ( Start 🧊 Cooling Down Ritual in Just 3 Minutes ( Start with 3 mins, then add a minute every time you practice… Magic happens from 20mins onwards… ☺️🙏) 

As the heat rises, so does our need to pause, soften, and hydrate.
This reel offers a glimpse into one of my favorite ways to cool down and reset:
a cooling, supportive Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose) using bolsters.

✨ This asana can help:

✔️ Cool the nervous system
✔️ Reduce swelling in the legs
✔️ Calm the mind
✔️ Promote deep rest
✔️ Even invite moments of quiet euphoria or blissful release

Yes—it’s possible to feel a gentle wave of euphoria or deep well-being after restorative yoga. Long-held, supported poses like this one activate your body’s relaxation response and can naturally boost serotonin, inviting a peaceful and elevated state of calm.

🩵 This 3-minute reel is just a sneak peek—
Curious what I’m sipping on to stay cool in this heat?
🍋🌿 Join me on Facebook for the full 16-minute cooling down ritual, where I share my favorite cooling drink and guide you through the complete practice from start to finish.

Or, even join me for a full an hour calming practice - on Wednesdays 18:30 Evening Harmony, Verve Studio, Bedford Heights. 

Let yourself be supported.
Let gravity help you let go.
Let this be your time to truly cool down.

Happy July 🌼
Stay cool. Stay kind. Stay hydrated. ☺️
