My morning
ritual involves a wake up call (by alarm or ideally the birds!) at 7am.
I spend 10 - 20 minutes sitting quietly (aka
meditating), usually to some lovely calming music (The Devi Prayer is my favourite). Those little thoughts are a big challenge for
us all, so I focus on my breath to help calm my mind and visualise my thoughts
floating away like clouds in the sky….it helps J
I’m usually
in my pyjamas (!) and will then do some gentle stretching (Yin Yoga) to open up
my body for the day, usually 10 – 20 minutes. Yin is an amazingly powerful,
slow form of yoga which deeply stretches connective tissue and releases both
physical and energetic blockages. I love it and it compliments my Power Yoga
practice and teaching perfectly!
A cup of hot
water and lemon is then followed by dry body brushing (both great for the
lymphatic system), a lovely shower and then a delicious green juice or
smoothie. A typical smoothie would be ½
avocado, ½ banana, chia seeds & flaxseeds (for a big protein & omega 3
hit), a spoonful of green superfood powder, a handful of spinach, fresh mint, 1
cup of filtered water – delicious!
Then ready to
rock n roll for another day in the life of Jo Arthur, Celebrity Yoga
