*NEW Self compassion meditation.

I hope this meditation is good to you this season! I believe one of the best things that dancer’s can learn to practice for a more joyful career in dance & life, is self compassion & kindness!

*NEW Self compassion meditation & full body mindful stretch.

How do you talk to yourself & feel when you make mistakes? Or fall short of your goals? when you experience challenges? If you find yourself consistently hard on yourself and this ultimately affecting your confidence and self worth then let’s learn to cultivate self compassion. We can do this through practice! Follow along with todays class 😉

*NEW YOU’VE GOT THIS! Meditation :)

Guiding you to a state of flow, a magical place to be to be able to perform at our very best. I hope you’ll add this meditation to your favourites list and use it to train your mind for peak performance 🙂

Performance day Meditation & quick energiser!

Irish dancing is physically hard as we know, what can be harder is the mental part. When that mind throws us into future and past thinking we are not present & focused and these thoughts often lead us towards stress- as Lucie has talked to us about before, this can often lead us to more chance of mistakes or ‘choking under pressure.’ High levels of stress decrease your ability to maintain focus and concentration. Of course, stress can be a helpful tool when used correctly;  but when it’s not, it can not only impact your performance, but your life.

The number one tool I have for you is to consistently practice mindfulness. Remember, we get better at what we practice. Let’s practice calm x

P.S feel free to do as many rounds of the sun salutations as you would like. For a little bit more of a ‘pick up’ try 4-6 rounds 🙂

*NEW Easing anxious thoughts meditation

Feeling a little overwhelmed with your thoughts? Let’s create some space and sit with how we are feeling.. You might just find that by taking this time, the thoughts and emotions that come with them soon ease a little.

Clouds meditation – creating space in the mind :)

I hope this meditation will be good to you. This one I am sat with you versus just recording my voice. The sound I don’t think is perfect – but it’s a good job we strive for excellence on the academy and not perfection right?! I’m always interested to hear you thoughts and feedback. So do give me a shout. This meditation is a similar idea to our “leaves on a stream” one. This is my personal favourite! A reminder that thoughts and emotions, like clouds, are ever-evolving, ever-shifting, passing by!
