Plans with Purpose... What's next for ZenMuma, ZenKids and You!

Today is winter solstice. ❄️

As we hang in the stillness of the shortest light of the year it’s a perfect time for meditation on the year past and reflection on what’s next. As tomorrow is the beginning of our lunar new year, it’s also the perfect time for Sankalpa, which is intention setting.

I’m going to state my intentions here, write them down, and send them out, it all helps communication and connective adventure! It’s how #magichappens

So here we go… let us know how YOU want to get involved :-)

1. ZenMuma - Our ZenMuma teachers family has now grown to 12 ZenMuma practitioners around the UK! I’m so happy. We have teachers from Manchester to the Isle of Wight! This year ZenMuma will continue to train and teach hypnobirthing, pregnancy yoga, baby yoga and post natal yoga, but we also want to launch a social enterprise arm to help support our local communities at a time it is needed most.

2. ZenKids - This year we trained 25 teachers in schools to help school children with reassuring proprioceptive yoga based movement, breathwork for calm and mindfulness for positivity. This helps children with anxiety and covid recovery. In 2022 we aim to bid for funding through our new community interest company to help share these invaluable tools and techniques more.

3. ZenTeens - Our secondary school/ teen training programme launched this year, and in January 2022 we are so happy to have our first commission with Hampshire Outdoors, Children’s Services Department. We also have a commission from a high school to develop meditation scripts for their students. We would like to develop a social enterprise project to develop a series of videos for school tutorials explaining the biology of stress and how exercise, breathwork and mindfulness can help.

4. Freedom Retreats - YES we are going sailing and yoga around the Greek Islands in July, celebrating Summer Solstice at our mini festival yoga weekend, and have some (refundable in times of restriction) spaces left for our February Winter Bliss retreat in the Norfolk Broads. (Contact here to book any and all). We would also love to develop a CIC project to offer our retreats to exhausted NHS staff.

5. Freedom Yoga Teacher Training - Our first joint training this year with Senior lead teacher Swami Atma Gyanam Saraswati was simply wonderful. We cannot wait to share this years training with 10 new yoga teacher students!

And my personal project:
How To Stay Zen
Podcasts, interviews, blogs, on psychology, philosophy, ethical travel and wellbeing.

And I really really want to hike in Iceland, and return to Asia.

Probably, in my little old human way, I will manage one or two of these visionary manifestations. Whatever happens, the right focus will become clear and will become central.

What I do know is my face is in the sunshine of the first light of tomorrow. ❄️ ☀️

Come and join us, and we will support your journey into 2022 too! 🙏💛

Love and very best wishes for happiness and health into 2022,

Jackie and the ZenMuma Team xx
