Hello Reader,

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.” — Martha Graham

Each month we choose a selection of quotes and affirmations to go with our monthly theme inside MerryBody.

This month, it's vitality.

This theme inspires our new weekly Yoga and Pilates classes and the monthly meditation. We just released the first class of the month, Vitality Yin Yoga, a blissful 18-minute slow stretch class that will have you feeling completely rejuvenated. Looking after your well-being doesn’t need to take hours, in fact, you can fit it in and around your life.

Our monthly themes are perfect reminders to check-in and then inspire you to make changes if necessary.

Bec said: Yes please… I definitely need more of this. Winter zaps all my vitality xox

Here’s How to Exercise When You Have Zero Motivation

We’ve all been there, perhaps it’s Winter, as the days grow shorter, the temperature drops and suddenly exercising feels like an impossible task. Or maybe work is taking all your energy, your studies are piling up or family commitments are overwhelming.

Whatever the situation, whatever the weather, you’ve landed in the headspace where you have zero motivation to exercise.

But it keeps sliding to the bottom of your to-do list. It’s ironic, isn’t it? The times you need the benefits of exercise the most are often when it’s hardest to find motivation to get moving. But don’t worry, we have some practical tips to help you shift your mindset and get inspired to exercise.

417: Devotional Discipline, Yoga Philosophy Series

If you're interested in Yogic Philosophy, this series is for you!

Tapas is the third Niyama and it traditionally translates to discipline. Sometimes the word “discipline” comes with negative connotations, so we like to add in “devotional discipline”. Even when we’re practising discipline, we need an element of love, compassion and forgiveness.

🧡 Tapas is required if you would like to welcome any kind of change.

🧡 Things are not always pleasant, but we have to move through those obstacles in order to keep going forward.

🧡 Tapas isn’t about pushing ourselves to the brink. It’s about honouring our bodies and minds, and knowing when to rest.

Tune in over on our website here. Or over on Spotify here!​

Hope you have a great weekend. Sending lots of love.

Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
