Today we celebrate yoga. The practice that keeps so many of us sane, grounded and feeling good in our bodies.

For me personally yoga has evolved over the years from a demanding disciplined practice into something much gentler and much more joyful. These days it's the thing I return to when I'm out of balance. It's how I reset, how I feel good in my body, and more recently it's become a way of bringing women together.

For the last couple of months, every Sunday morning here in Stokey, I've been hosting a women-only movement session: Feel-Good Movement. We move through delicious sequences and at the end we sit with tea and chocolate and we talk.

At the start of every session I guide the women through a meditation I call Delightful Memory. The idea behind it is simple: your nervous system cannot fully distinguish between something you are experiencing right now and something you are vividly remembering. Which means when you return to a moment of genuine joy with all your senses, your body responds as if it's happening now. You feel good on purpose, whenever you need it.

I recorded this practice today and I'm sharing it here to mark International Yoga Day.

Find somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and press play.
