After the winter season, let's get up high for a breath of fresh air.

The Art & Zen Retreat takes place May 14-17 in the French Alps.

4 days of yoga with mountain views, hiking, and creative drawing workshops. As well as time to relax and enjoy the view.

Meals by a private chef in a fine-dining (and usually plant-based) vibe, 3 nights in a luxury chalet overlooking the Morzine valley.

The interseason energy up here is calm, clear and relaxing.

Perhaps this is just what you need for your spring break.

Coming solo? We can match you in a shared room.

Last year around this time, I created a journaling practice— and as I share it again now, I’m doing it all over again myself.

There’s something deeply nourishing about looking back and realising that the person you once imagined… is now who you’re living as. Every single intention I wrote last year became part of my lived reality in 2025— and that feels incredible.

So take a quiet moment, grab your journal, and take a few grounding breaths to drop in.

Ask yourself:
Who do I want to be in 2026?
How does this version of me feel?
What are their daily practices?
What are their boundaries?
How do they treat themselves— and others?
Who are they spending time with?

Really picture them.
How they stand.
How they move through the world.
The energy they carry.

Then ask:
What small step can I take today to begin being them?

See this full exercise on my blog innershiftpsychology.com/blog —

Because we don’t become ourselves all at once.
We practice becoming, gently, every day.

Grounding into root chakra will release your shoulders. Here’s the science:

In yoga, the root chakra (Muladhara) is located at the base of the spine and pelvic floor, and is associated with safety, stability, and support.

From a neuroscience perspective, grounding awareness in this area (along with the feet and legs) increases sensory input from the lower body and signals safety to the nervous system.

When the brain perceives safety, it down-regulates the fight-or-flight response. This reduces unconscious bracing patterns that often show up as tension in the neck, jaw, and shoulders.

Under stress, the body tends to organise upward: the shoulders lift, the breath becomes shallow, and muscles stay subtly contracted. This isn’t a posture issue— it’s a protective response.

To ground into your root chakra, become aware of the bottoms of the pelvis— the perineum specifically, between the genitalia and abus (tee-hee!). But seriously— feel the weight of the pelvis. Breathe into these areas. Notice what happens.

As the body feels more supported from below, the nervous system no longer needs to brace from above.

When the signal of safety arrives, the shoulders can soften naturally.

This is why grounding practices in yoga have such a profound effect on both tension and emotional regulation.

WINTER YOGA SCHEDULE
Here’s the schedule for this winter for yoga classes offered by me. Monday, Tuesday and Friday take place at the Fat Fox Lodge in Montriond, and Wednesday morning Ashtanga is at the yoga studio in Morzine. My classes are focussed deeply on introspection and interoception, as well as the mind-body connection. Visit the link in my bio for more details, prices, class cards and class descriptions. Hope to see you this winter !! ❄️ 🧘

Hey, psst — we’re not born loathing ourselves.
We learn it.

From subtle cues, criticism, comparison, and conditional approval.
Over time, those experiences shape our inner voice — what psychologists call introjected beliefs or internalized schemas.

Research in developmental psychology and attachment theory shows that self-criticism often mirrors early relational patterns. The brain literally wires self-evaluation pathways from the way we were treated by caregivers, teachers, and peers. But the good news is: neural pathways can be rewired.

Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive restructuring, studies show we can reduce self-criticism, increase emotional regulation, and strengthen self-acceptance.
In other words — it can be untaught.

So start small: notice the inner critic, soften the tone, and speak to yourself the way you’d speak to someone you love. That’s neuroplasticity in action.
