Are you feeling short on energy?
September 28th, 2026
Now we are in Autumn and the trees are losing their leaves, we tend to reflect on ourselves and to think about our wellbeing. We may feel less energetic and may be drawn towards more gentle movement.
When new clients come to me for yoga they often comment that it feels so nice so simply stretch! Stretching eases tension, improves blood flow and creates space in your body. We can breathe more feely if we lengthen our spine, ease our neck and shoulders and move our ribs. And once your breathing improves your energy levels increase too.
Physical energy is important and in our yoga sessions we also focus on mental energy. In a busy life we can often feel mentally tired and strained from coping with daily tasks and activities. So finding ways of improving mental energy by clearing your mind and directing your thoughts is just as important.
We talk in yoga about calming the chattering monkey and focussing the mind. We do this through practising physical movements or postures, breathing techniques and stilling the mind. When we are still in mind and body we find a new perspective on the things which really matter in our lives and this may help us to cope better – one of the many benefits of practising yoga.
If this sounds interesting and you’d like to find out more, I’m at the Woodbridge Complementary Health Centre for one to one sessions (by the way I have several couples who come and see me too) and I also lead weekly daytime yoga classes in Melton and in Martlesham Heath.
There’s more information on my website www.izzyyoga.co.uk and you can book a free consultation at the centre. Visit www.wchc.info and find out how yoga can help you regain your physical and mental energy.
