Wellness

When I think about what it means to be a woman, the word I prefer to explore is feminine. Feminine, not in the sense of a person being "girly", but in the sense of connecting with the source of creativity, flow, and strength.

A conversation with Lucy from The Humblebrag about my wellness journey and the necessity of decolonizing wellness.

Remember to take deep, intentional breaths.

With the turmoil we are experiencing world wide and specifically in South Africa at the moment, we easily forget to take deep breaths.

Breathing with intention helps sooth your nervous system and ground you.

Taking a few minutes, a few times a day to take 5 deep inhales and exhales helps you check in with yourself and regroup, refocus and release some tension held in our bodies.

 

Weather you are sitting behind your desk, standing in line somewhere or stuck in traffic, try and take 3 minutes to breathe intentionally. Sit up straight, place palms on your knees or if possible right palm on your chest and left palm onto your lower abdomen and breathe. 5 deep inhales and exhales.

A simple and short way to come back to yourself.

In Summer, we gathered in community while physically distancing.

We flowed, slowly and with intention guided by our breath at the foot of Table Mountain overlooking the sea.

We were held and protected by nature and gently, slowly released the heaviness we as a collective have been carrying.

These moments and spaces of breath and stillness are vital to our individual and collective healing.

We hope you join us at our studio or for one of the outdoor sessions come Spring.

 

Did you know one of the best ways of centering yourself and grounding is through breath?

Through the practice of Yoga, we get to understand ourselves better and how to best develop healthy tools that help keep us grounded, healthy and balanced.

Our Wellness space Holding Space offers a variety of healing modalities such as Yoga, Meditation, Breath Work, Energy Healing and Sound Journeys.

A space focused on offering a safe space for melanated bodies to explore their own healing, it aligns with the Holistic approach that Kafui Awoonor , creator of Kafui Naturals advocates for.
