Leaving this here because a) it’s funny, and b) this is what yoga really looks like.

Instagram is the land of everyone’s best bits. The polished shapes, perfect lighting, the one take that finally worked. And while that can be beautiful and inspiring, it can also set an impossible standard we think we should somehow be matching.

But pick any InstaYogi you admire and I promise you: they’re falling, they’re wobbling, they’re failing more times than you could ever count. That’s literally how they got where they are. Progress isn’t clean. It’s messy, hilarious, humbling, and full of moments just like this one.

Yoga asanas are an endless learning journey. We’re all working on something, always. And honestly? It’s in the wobble, the fall, the frustration, and the getting back up again where we learn the most.

So here’s me, doing exactly that. 💛🧘‍♀️✨

Balance…

It’s not something you find, it’s something you create 💫

Get yourself a physio that’s also a yogi: Best. Thing. Ever.

Like, who gets to go to a physio appointment and end up in Pincha 🙋‍♀️

I went to see with a forearm injury I’ve had for, perhaps, two months now. I got everything you would expect from the appointment - exercises and advice to aid recovery, build strength and support, and prevent further injury BUT…

I also got added value that was so important to me. James took my yoga practice into account - the things I’ve been doing, the things I want to do and where my goals currently are. He looked at postures to make sure I’m practicing in a way that not only works for my body right now (injured), but also is mindful of my hypermobility and takes care of my joints long-term.

And Pincha, instead of saying “don’t do it” he explored to find an away to keep me upside down. I came away with this Prayer-L-shape-Pincha that I can practice without irritating my injury or risking more harm (with some strict caveats like ❌ no strapping my forearms and ❌ no balancing yet - foot on the wall at all times).

I’m so happy. Physio-Yogi hybrids are a game changer!

Thank you 🙏
