She also works to bring a yoga spirit to business. Jess runs Spark networking events that bring business owners and would-be entrepreneurs together from diverse backgrounds and industries to spark ideas, inspiration, partnerships and more.

To achieve this, Jess encourages everyone to tap into the power of using yoga principles in all aspects of life, including protecting their mental health.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are many forms of yoga, so it is for everyone, regardless of age, shape or size.
Yoga was initially developed to help you prepare for meditation, which is one reason it is so good for mental health.
Yoga is especially beneficial for neurodiverse children and adults.
Movement is medicine, you can feel yoga healing you as it releases tension and balances your body.
Yoga makes you much more aware of your body, which improves confidence and focuses you on what you put into your body.
The Spark community supports and inspires each other e.g. by sharing their goals for the week every Monday, to hold themselves to account.
At the end of the week, the Spark community shares what they are grateful for. Gratitude is very powerful.
Try Yin Yoga if you have problems sleeping. Other forms are particularly good for pain relief.

ABOUT THE HOST
Wendy Castelino has been working as a psychotherapist for over thirty-five years. As an accredited CBT and EMDR practitioner, she is committed to upholding the rigorous standards required for these accreditations and helping thousands of people reach their full potential.
Wendy currently runs a private practice where her focus is on CBT. Therapy is constantly evolving into developing new techniques, so she studies hard to integrate them into her therapy, to provide a rich and effective experience.
Wendy is aware that working in one-to-one therapy limits the number of people she can see. She has, therefore, created a range of online resources. These resources are designed to be easy to follow and provide clear, step-by-step instructions. This can help the individual to master skills and gain confidence, therefore optimising the therapy sessions. They are also suitable to be used on their own.
