Ice bath, anyone?

Have you heard of the Wim Hof Breathing Method? It’s really taken off, especially for men. It incorporates yogic breathing, mindful movement but its signature feature is ice baths.

There’s a good long read about a workshop in Melbourne that’s popular with tradies.

I‘m so glad there’s a way for men to embrace yoga, meditation and wellbeing in this way. Typically, yoga classes and meditation retreats are dominated by women attendees but I’d love to see a balance (and kids) as everyone can benefit from it. Moreover, I firmly believe that couples and families who yoga together stay together. There’s a lot of poses and exercises we can do to be attuned to and in support of one another in yoga and meditation. If you’re getting married and want to give couples yoga and meditation a try, I’m your celebrant!

Yoga with Bub

A part of my morning routine is doing a few sun salutations with Bub watching on as he plays with his blocks. It delights me to see him light up as he watches me yoga. He giggles when I move into cobra from downward facing dog and I stick out my tongue like a lion. I look forward to doing more yoga with him over the years, in addition to the hugging meditation and forward bending poses.

Bub, as all babies are natural yogis, clearly shows me up with the ease of which he puts his feet in his mouth and Happy Baby comes naturally to him too. I can’t wait to do couples yoga with him as it’s so much fun and it’s a great way to connect through breath, laughter and to tune into one another on a deep level.

Here’s a link to a few poses (beginner, intermediate and advanced levels) you can try with your partner, mum, son or friend. Give it a go in today and let me know how you go!
