5 Ways To Well with Sasha Kazantseva-Miller

As President of the Committee for Economic Development and a Member of the Committee for Housing in the States of Guernsey, Deputy Sasha Kazantseva-Millier has a busy life. 

Here are Sasha's wellness essentials.

 

 

1.  Morning Yoga and Stretching.

Starting the day with a little yoga and stretching can make a world of difference. This habit became part of my daily routine after completing a short yoga course in India. I only manage to carve about 15 minutes each morning but it's one of my non-negotiables and really helps me to wake up and get ready to face the day.

 

2.  Embracing Saunas and Cold Swimming.

Thanks to the new outdoor sauna facilities available in Guernsey, I've found a new love for alternating between sauna sessions and cold swims. I've found it to be one of the most effective ways to get your energy back after a long week of work and family duties.

 

3.  Learning New Skills.

I've always loved learning something new and acquiring new skills - it's one of the undeniable joys of my life. Since becoming a deputy, I’ve made it a point to challenge myself to keep up with this habit. Trying out boxing, padel, rowing, and even joining a choir have all been part of this journey. It’s about pushing boundaries, staying active, and embracing new experiences.

 

4.  Listening To Podcasts And Audiobooks.

Given the extensive reading required for my work as a deputy in the States of Guernsey, finding the time or the headspace to read for leisure is tough. That’s why I prioritise listening to podcasts and audiobooks. It’s a fantastic way to keep learning and stay inspired, even on the go.

 

5.  Finding Time For Family Fun.

Life gets busy, especially with children's packed weekend schedules of sports, activities and birthday parties. That’s why I make it a priority to do a family activity at least once every few weeks - whether it’s a walk on the beach, playing a game of padel or looking for ormers together. It’s about making memories and staying connected, even amidst the chaos of daily family life.
