If you know you know…

Sometimes it's just like that... 🤣

Sometimes my day job and my DDPY passion get to combine in just the best way.

Always lovely to see DDP YOGA in the news when I know how powerful (and how fun!) it is but, as lots of you know, my day job nowadays is with The Mirror so seeing it mentioned here by one of my colleagues is even more exciting. Epic work by Butterbean!

Looking for some mid-week motivation? Ken is yet more proof that no matter where you’re starting it’s possible to change your life 🙌 He’s also a thoroughly lovely man and is this is so very deserved.

“One of us got bitter… one of us got better.” When you’re a wrestling fan casually catching up with Monday Night Raw and suddenly champion Seth Rollins pops up like a snazzily-dressed Jiminy Cricket with a little bit of inspirational chat that makes you sit up and go ‘oooooh.’ Love it

What are *you* doing to get better today? For me it’s not just the big stuff and the workouts (although of course that’s awesome too) but the incremental changes that help add up to make a difference - for me that’s swapping my coffee mug for a water bottle after my first two brews of the day and leaving the car at home for the school run so I’ve walked 3.5km before I sit down at my desk for the day.

This all started for me with a workshop just like this. If you’re in the U.K. and keen to try to DDPY in a live environment and meet the man himself then this is a must-do. Plus if you book Birmingham I’m coming too!

Incredibly proud to count myself amongst the DDP Yoga Class of Summer 2022 having successfully completed my Level 2 certification. If you'd told me when this started (at a DDPY workshop in London's Kings Cross 5 years ago next month) I'd lose six stone, feel better than I ever have and be helping other people do the same I'd have laughed in your face. Life is a funny thing.

After a few weeks off I'm getting ready to return to work and get back on my fitness goals. Who's with me?

This really resonated with me today (plus I think Denzel Washington is awesome). How are YOU preparing for opportunities coming your way?

It's been a bonkers week and I haven't had time to promote this as much as I'd like (house move and minimal internet has been a thing) but tomorrow I shall be tag teaming with fellow Level 1 DDPY instructor, geek and all round good egg Mr Wayne Poppleton at WTP Fitness online sessions. Two gaming loving instructors, one boss-level workout. It's going to be fun and have a barnstorming soundtrack so why not join us? Drop me a message if you need to know how.

So can anyone else relate to this? I'm at the end of week one of being back on track - drinking more water, less coffee, eating actual meals with vegetables in (as opposed to plates of random selections of foodstuffs found in the fridge centered around lumps of cheese and water biscuits). I'm even down to one slice of cake a week. I got some funky new scales for Christmas that measure muscle mass, body fat, water etc, so am busy geeking out about all the numbers on the app but more than anything I can already feel better in myself. Intrigued to see how the scales have gone down when I weigh in, but very aware that the number is only a part of the story - even if it can be tracked in an actual honest-to-goodness app. With multiple graphs. (Can you tell I'm a bit giddy about it?!)

How're YOU getting on with your new year goals?

Have you got the lockdown blues? Sick of home schooling and staring at the walls working from home already? Self-isolation doesn't have to be isolating. Working out live with DDPY warriors across the world on Facebook and Zoom is one of the things that has kept me (vaguely) sane since the pandemic started. As you may know, I'm moving house impendingly which, paired with two younglings underfoot, means live workouts from me are in pretty short supply right now (although WTP Fitness online sessions and I might have something geeky and DDPY in the diary for the end of the month). BUT my lovely friends Lavinia and Boz at Back on Track Living - DDP Yoga Classes are running a series of FREE beginner classes with UK-friendly start times. Lots of you have asked me to give you a heads up when I start doing live classes because you want to give DDPY a try and I will definitely do that once we finally move. But why wait? Boz and Lavinia are the UK's only Level 2 qualified DDPY instructors, they know their stuff and if you like my weird arse sarcastic ways then... well I hope they don't mind me saying but you'll definitely love them too. Don't let lockdown bring you down, give it a go - assuming I get the kids to bed at sensible times I might even see you there :)
