When self-esteem hits rock bottom
|
Let’s talk about mental health. It’s a topic that’s close to my heart, both for personal reasons, and because it comes up often with my clients. One of them asked me last week: “What can you do when your self-esteem is at zero? How can yoga help you take that first step toward having a little bit of ego?” I think that’s such a powerful question. I truly believe that one of the main ways depression keeps itself going is through inaction. Depression makes you not want to do anything, so you don’t. Then you feel guilty. You feel incapable. So you do even less… and the cycle deepens. With yoga (at least, in my approach) we start exactly where we are. With the energy we’ve got right now. We just do enough to get things moving, to take action and begin breaking the cycle. Just deciding to show up for yoga is already a huge first step. It’s choosing to take care of yourself and deciding that you are worth the effort. Even just trying is an act of self-love. It’s recognizing that your current self-worth isn’t where it should be. And being willing to work toward something better. If this resonates with you, and you'd like me to help you take that first step, I'm here to support you. I've created a specific program for people like you who are looking to regain their energy and self-confidence through an adapted practice. To ensure personalised and quality guidance, I can only work with 3 new people over the next 3 months. You don't need to be "ready." That's precisely the goal of our work together, to get you to that state. Each day that passes in inaction reinforces the cycle you want to break free from. Take this small moment for yourself now: simply reply to this email or write to me on WhatsApp. I'm offering a first 15-minute conversation, with no commitment, to discuss your situation and see how I might be able to help you. This first step may seem tiny, but it already contains all the strength you need to begin transforming your daily life. Om, peace 🧡 Clem PS: if you're unsure, please know that most of my clients felt the same way before we started our work together. It's completely normal and even an encouraging sign :) |

Does it really matter if we're breathing through the nose or mouth? A short one today because one of my wonderful clients asked me this question last week, and I think you could all benefit from the answer. The answer is: yes, it matters. A LOT. And not only when doing yoga. If we've already practiced yoga together, you have probably heard me encourage you to breathe through your nose. Why? Because your nose is a wonderful machine. See, when the air comes in through your nostril, your nose...
You know what they say: "Variety is the spice of life." We all get it when it comes to food, it’s been drilled into us. When it comes to mental balance, it’s already a little trickier. Our brains love learning new things and exploring different perspectives… yet somehow we keep getting pulled into echo chambers that just feed us more of the same. But it’s just as true for our bodies, and that’s really what I want to talk to you about today. When it comes to movement, most of us are on an...
