Lovely to see another vlog! I totally agree about levels in yoga. An ‘advanced’ practice to me is consistently showing up, recognising what your own body needs on any given day, adapting poses/movements with props to suit your body and avoiding poses that don’t feel right for your body. Basically all the things that you encourage on MyMindfulMovement! ❤x
Ahhh thank you so much Wendy! They'll kinda be back, but in a very different way than before 💚 Thank you so much for still being here, appreciate you and good to see your name pop up! x
Thanks for the chat! I see I'm not the only one who misses your vlogs. Congratulations on being a brand ambassador! Love the brown outfit. Looks great on you!
My interest in yoga & pilates has always been to try to hone that body awareness & understanding. I love your content & anything that combines movement whilst also explaining how/what parts of our body we are moving or feeling. For example, if I get sore muscles after a work out, I strive to be able to be able to know/explain/feel where that is sore. I want to be able to move and be able to recognise when a movement is working a muscle & not damaging it. Thanks so much for all the videos you share ❤ i love mindful movement as a concept & your channel / business too ✨
That is SO interesting, thank you for sharing Beth 🙏 Love this so much for you 💜 And thank you for your kind words about the classes and My Mindful Movement! x x x
Completely agree with what you said about different yoga levels. I’m also of the thinking that classes should be available to everybody and every BODY. Also agree that an ‘advanced’ practitioner is someone who practices regularly and consistently. Glad to have a chatty video! And congrats on the myprotein partnership! ❤
@@sharanb1984 Sharan! Thank you so much for still being here! It's an interesting one isn't it, because I feel like we spend so many years trying to 'progress', when actually just the showing up is the most important part 🙏 Still trying to find that balance of, challenging my body, without pushing it too far.... Which I've failed at recently, with a strained wrist 😅 Hope all is well with you guys in the U S A!! xxx
Thanks for being here Sarah!! Totally.... I think the rise of yoga on social media really emphasises the 'look'.... From bodies, to outfits to perfect curated white and beige houses 😅 I'm just a bit bored of it! xxx Although I should add.... Our rented apartment is a bit white and boring, but not by choice haha!! x
Thank you so much for this video! Really grateful for all your videos and this channel!! Although I'm not (yet☺️) a member of the MMM, I'm excited about the brand change and all the other changes that will come with this. It looks lovely.
❤❤❤ this!! Super excited for you to be working with MyVegan & MyProtein! Congratulations 🥳 and excited for your new MMM platform change. Congratulations 🙌🏼
Hey Helen! Loved this video, really enjoyed the catch up! So looking forward to the videos you mentioned and all your wellbeing, self care, beauty, clothing tips! I need some sports and lounge wear help. 😁 xx
Hi Helen I’m really sorry, this is going to be long 😂 After watching the other night, I was too relaxed and tired to write properly so I decided to watch this again so I can reply more 🙂 I’m so glad you are an ambassador for MyProtein, and they are supporting you. My son using my protein quite a lot, I never knew they did clothing? Oh wow!! I love the new look membership site, it looks amazing, how exciting, I am so pleased for you☺️, at the end of the day it’s your baby isn’t it? I watch your videos, I think I practiced online with you first and then found your vlogs, I honestly can’t remember, I have watched them all. It’s great you have done a new one, you are so natural behind the camera and so easy to listen to 😌, please carry on, as long as you have time obviously. I love walking too, having a dog, it makes us go out because otherwise he wouldn’t go out. It was nice when you were travelling to see where you were and what you were doing but I can understand you needed to stop, breath and re-charge again, ready for the next time??? I travelled around the world for over a year when I was in my mid 20’s, it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I always have goals that I set for myself, like a tick list, as long as I get it done by the end of the week, it doesn’t matter what order I do them in as long as I get it done, then I’m happy 🙂 I so believe in doing something for yourself, like your live class once a week, I also have a massage once a month, it is so important to fill our cup. How does RU-vid work? Is it liking and commenting etc? OMG!! Body balance! I used to do Callanetics years ago 😳😂 I also used to go to step classes and Pilates, I still love Pilates now. I found yoga when I was travelling and fell in love, as I’ve got older, I love it even more 🥰 Ooww I think I’ll order that book, I totally agree with the beginners/advanced etc. for me my body is different everyday, so something I can do today I may not be able to do it tomorrow! As long as I do something that makes my body and mind feel better then that’s good for me. I Absolutely loved your video, it was great Helen, can’t wait for your next one 💗😘xxx
I LOVE a long comment (text and email too 😝) so thank you for taking some time to send me one Linda!! I actually forgot MyProtein did clothes until a few weeks ago actually - I usually just pop on for the same protein, snacks and supplements I always get. So I’m excited to share what else is good on there! You remember Body Balance too!! It was like a mixture of Tai chi, pilates and yoga wasn’t it? I used to do it after Body Pump 😆 RU-vid pays me money from the ads you see pop up in videos - But because I don’t put them in class videos, you don’t see many. It’s literally a few 1ps per ad, but it does add up…. Just not as much as it once used to. But I am grateful to have sponsors that pay me a flat rate, because it really allows me to spend time making a video. Thank you so much for being a member, like I said it’s always nice to see your name pop up in a class! That’s so cool you went travelling in your 20’s - Where did you go? Who did you go with? Did you have a favourite experience from it? x x x
Hi Helen! I found you a couple of years ago when I was pregnant with my son and looking for prenatal yoga practices and fell in love with your channel. Just wanted to say thank you for all your free yoga practices! And i love your vlogs 😊
😍 Amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing that Diana! So glad those videos served you well in pregnancy 🙏 Also thank you for continuing to be here ❤️ Hope you have a lovely weekend! x x x
Looooved the video, watched it to the end and had a great get-ready-entertainment, so nice to see you on YT again 🩵 Congrats on the MyProtein Partnership 😍
Thank you so much lovely Micella! Happy to keep you company whilst you're getting ready 🥰 That's when I mostly watch RU-vid too!! Hope you're all having a nice weekend! x x x
❤chef's kiss. Thankyou for sharing the Q&A it was great to hear your view and also read comments below of others. I thought it was great - a good no of questions & topics to discuss!! I want to be consistent with yoga specifically and the connection to myself. Just need to get into a rhythm methinks. Have a lovely wkd! ❤😘 PS. London IS great and those resentful feelings are familiar to me too. What this chat reinforces is to acknowledge those feelings so you can take a break or readjust. Love My Mindful Movement! ❤
That is so interesting you felt that 'resentful' feeling about London too 🧐 I guess it's a good reminder that even if we really love or enjoy something, it doesn't always serve us in some stages of life. Did you take a break or change anything? I think if we were to move back there, I'd make more of conscious effort to enjoy all the things London has to offer and make more random, little plans with friends - trying to do both of these things in Manchester! 🙏 xxx
I think you're right about stage in life, and I'm realising I'm in a new one. I'm a hardcore Londoner (diversity is a top life value for me), I think Covid just made London lose it's shine for me (and prob anywhere would have), it just seems even more hard now. I made a major change in my life to take a lot of pressure off and it was the best decision I made for my stage of life now. London IS great and so much I love about this city ❤
Hi Helen, So good to have a new vlog to watch ☺️, I’ve just watched laying in my acupressure mat, I’m really sleepy now, I just wanted to quickly say it’s great to have a new vlog, I have really missed them, really looking forward to more. I will reply more tomorrow but I want to say, your hair looks so long and healthy, your nails look lovely too 🥰, it’s great to have you back even thought I do see you most Mondays xxx
🥰 Thank you so much Linda! It's so nice to see your name pop up on a Monday 🤩 I know the live sessions can be hard to fit in sometimes! Hope you slept well and have a great start to a new week! Lots of love x x x
Hi Stacy! Some are still available: www.youtube.com/@WellWithHels/search?query=vlog but I privated most as they don't really fit the channel anymore 😊 I might do a little unlisted playlist of them one day though! Really trying to grow this channel and to be completely honest, the vlogs always loose me subscribers, so it feels very one step forward, one step back 😅 xx
